Oh yeah, i know... but they would rather make sure a game runs smoothly on a PS2 build then the other way around because it has the larger base.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nintendogs!

It would be sorta interesting if they did this within the Pokemon game. Just as an extra.
I still think that they should update Pokemon for the next gen system. Imagine a more realistic version. If there was an actual Pikachu in front of you, what would it look like. Fur effects and all. Just a lush world. Like remember that feeling when you saw Jurassic Park. The scale and awe of the different creatures. Imagine a world like that. Almost wild. There are monsters around. These animals. And you love it. That would revolutionlized Pokemon one way... in addition of online play.

This is news that should have been announced a long time ago. I commend Nintendo for finally relizing this now letting fans know where they stand. Regie basically stated in an interview that when the Gamecube was launched, he would have done things differently. Online play would have been one of those things. I really have an Xbox just for Xbox Live. With a free service, it should be pretty cool.
Now the one thing is that it will apperently be wireless online only. This could be that you need to have wireless internet or some form. Hopefully Nintendo could sell a stream lined device that can plug into a router to do this. Nintendo is really now trying to lay down the right track for the Revolution and I commend them for it.

No, it is the hardest... Sony even acknowledged it and said that the PS3 will be much easier on developers.

I understand both cases, but WW did sell very well for the Gamecube. Hardcore Zelda fans still bought it. Could they have gotten more with a different art style? I think so. But I also think Nintendo should have put forth the effort and included voice overs to give it that real animated touch. It was like an epic Disney movie with only grunts. With great voice acting, it can really flesh out alot of the characters emotions which was the main point about that game. The way a young Link delt with so many things. Grunts won't do. I want to hear Link talk. If they can change the entire art style, why not that too. I think it would have helped in the long run.

Most games are developed for the Playstation 2 hardware first because it is actually the hardest to program for. Also it is easier to make ok graphics look better then taking a game that is better looking and dumbing it down to make it run smooth. So, no. The PSP hardware though I believe is actually easier to develop for than the PS2.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe will be developed by Griptonite Games who will handle the Gameboy Advance and DS versions. Hmmm, what were the other games Griptonite Games made? The Urbz and Robots... see a trend? This is bad. All other versions will be developed by Travler's Tales, including the PSP version.

There are ways around that though. They just havn't invested enough time into it. Nintendo also didn't really give alot of third parties enough time or they are just not interested in entering the DS market. I am sure enough going to see the number of GBA+ games raise when there is little software for the system. We will see. I personally though am iffy about the design. I just kinda get cramped up when having to use the buttons. But that is me. Especially for playing GBA games, it just feels weird. Good thing I still have my SP.
BTW, Astroboy is awesome.

Adding a muliplayer mode where you compete with others for the attention for the girl, more mini games, smoothing the graphics just a tad more. It is just too bad. Also the game suffered in sales ironically enough because parents didn't like the idea of their child looking at a girl in a bikini... who is white... with no features... but don't mind killing. Just weird.
Also pricing for alot of the games were just too high for software, especially rushed software. I mean a game like Zoo Keeper should be $20... not $40. Games sold over time, but if it were at a $30 tag instead, they would have sold better. In addition Nintendo could have included a coupon or some sort of sale with DS games like they did with the GC recently.
But this is back again to the main problem with Nintendo of America... its run by Nintendo of Japan. Simple as that. I even confronted a rep about it and she didn't know what to say after I told her everything they could have done. It is just a thing.

Alot of people really and honestly have no idea that Nintendo makes the Gameboy, Gamecube and DS. You actually have to tell them. I am talking more the common consumer. As far as GBA Plus games, I am refering to titles developed for the GBA and tacked on to the DS. The two main ones are The Urbz and Robots.
But also, the DS has yet to really do something that totally different. It is neat but good? It really has nothing to do with 3D or 2D though. But what I am saying is that for the common gamer, they want 3D when you can do 3D. Also the next GB will be hinted at E3 and shown fully at NEXT years E3 along with the "Revolution"... Revolution & Evolution, hmmmm? Nintendo is going to push a launch of a home console and handheld at the same time, possibly. Nintendo really has a brand name they have to build up and re-invent. They don't have the "cool" factor anymore. Something hopefully they can fix.

Exactly, but with such a low lineup this game might sell. But then again, it might not. Recently shooters have had a hard time selling, even popular ones such as R-Type and Gradius. So for a brand new franchise, good word of mouth would be key.

I have the DS and personally love 2D games and hope that they stay alive... but what I was saying that they won't SELL the handheld. You take a picture of a game like Wario Ware Touched and Warioware Twisted and there is very little difference. Infact many people are already saying Twisted is a better experence. Same thing with other games such as Yoshi Touch & Go and upcoming Kirby and Castlevania games. I am not doubting that the games are good or fun to play. But there isn't really a big difference. This could be due to just transfering production from the GBA to the DS with upgraded features that you couldn't do on the GBA.
You look to the common gamer and show them Need For Speed Underground for GBA and DS and there is only a slight difference. You are basically saying that you have to play the game first then you will understand. Right now more than half of the current DS lineup is garbage and the rest is subpar. If you take Mario 64 out of there, then you have nothing. And infact many people believe the best part of that game are the mini games.
I am a Nintendo supporter, but that doesn't mean I follow them blindly. It is clear to see that Nintendo itself isn't pushing the handheld where it needs to go. And there shouldn't really be so secretive with upcoming games for it because it would be too hard for other companies to steal Nintendo's idea. Sony isn't going to release an add on screen.
There is no real NEW killer app for it, but it is still young. If though by the end of the year there is nothing really new and exciting for the DS, what is the point. Right now most of the games are GBA Plus games or mediocre games. Hopefully EA will put more time into their sports games and really push the limits. They also have very little third party support compared to the PSP. Heck, they have very little first party support. And no offense, Pokemon Dash is a joke. It is a slapped together game that will be dissapointing. Heck, there is little reason other than time that Yoshi Touch & Go couldn't have been a 3D/2D game other than if the DS couldn't handle it. You can't even give a handful of quality games so far.
Nintendo rushed out a product to make a quick buck and now they are going to pay for it. I have little doubt that the PSP will sell HUGE in the US. Even if the games suck even worse than the DS games... cause most of the US are graphic whores. No offense to whores. But you show them any game that is pretty and there is no doubt they want that more. BTW, im american. And there are times when I am like that. Anyway... Nintendo has yet to show me why someone should get the DS. Until then, I can't really recommend it. It is up to them though, no one else.

Yeah, I know the NEXT GB will not be out by the end of the year. I wouldn't be suprised if Nintendo decides to redesign it for a younger crowd or possiblity of licenesed GBA SP designs. A la Pokemon versions, Sponge Bob, or something similar. The GBA will be moved toward a younger crowd in general.
The main thing is that will Nintendo push it's own system and right now I havn't seen a clear "YES". Not to knock 2D, but so far almost all the games they have shown are 2D sidescrollers. That doesn't give people a huge difference between the GBA and DS. In addition, not suprising, it is almost as if Nintendo is ripping past games for the DS like Mario 64, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing.
Nintendo is not even fully updating GB classic games such as Advance Wars. Hopefully the looks so far for games have been very very early. But even so, you can't really deny the difference so far on presentation between PSP and DS games. When the PSP is released, it will have a larger and more diverse software library then the DS has, dispite almost a 6 month gap.
2D games will not sell the DS, not matter how good the games are. The DS will start becoming a Gameboy Advance Plus... instead of something really new. Heck, if they were going to do that, they should have just released the DS as an updated SP, not something brand new. And Nintendo is being way too secret about projects. How can you create buzz about the DS if you show virtually nothing? Or the fact that you relegate a screen to a "map".
I think what the best thing Nintendo could do is to basically make the DS a gamer's dream machine. Allow people to develop their own home brew games. Create a comunity where people will want to share their games over the internet. Where a publisher could possibly pick up a game and sell it in retail. Or uploading stations where people can go and browse games and upload them to blank carts.
We know the next Gameboy will come by and push the PSP back down. In the mean time, I don't really know if the DS will be anything but promises unfufilled. Is it really a new gaming experence when there is little to experience?

Right now the DS is sandwiched in a pretty bad place. Between the Gameboy Advance SP and the PSP. Not to mention the NEXT Gameboy possibly coming out next year. If you look at it right now, developers just didn't have enough time to make quality titles as the DS was rushed for the holiday shopping season. Many developers have to get used to the technology also and really have to step back and deside what they want to do.
Will the DS get a chance to live? It is really up to Nintendo. Right now Nintendo hasn't really shoved the effort into the system that it needs. With only 2 first party games released and many games not really showing that much of a difference between DS and GBA, It is really up to Nintendo to make the DS live.
There is a high possiblity that Nintendo will become too stretched out. GBA, GC, DS, N5 (Revolution), Gameboy Evolution.... that is a possiblity of making games for 5 systems. Now there is talk of a new re-re-design of the Gameboy at the end of the year. I look at that as possibly more of a "kid" design for the GBA. They will use it to tap a younger market cause younger kids want the system. This will also mean less quality GBA titles as publishers do not want to put forth the effort of making quality games for kids that really don't know any better.
And right now with the DS, it is kinda inbetween. Developers will start to develop titles for either the PSP and GBE. The BEST thing nintendo can do is give developers early builds of the next Gameboy. That way at launch there will be titles. If the DS was launched at any other time it would have failed. It was a rushed product and even the design now is already being looked at for a modification.
But the games are not there to drive the system. It will again be up to Nintendo to do this. Nintendo really has to build this market up itself so that other publishers will want to join in. It is sad but I believe we will see more and more GBA Plus + games on the DS similar to The Urbz and Robots. Just GBA games with tacked on features. It is kinda hard to tell people that this is a brand new thing when you allow these games to bring down the system. Nintendo has been very loose with allowing software on the DS so far. Look at Ping Pals. There should be some sort of quality to keep all the games fairly good. Right now you don't even have a handful of games. Hopefully E3 will showcase a full library of upcoming games and will put doubts to rest.
If not, get ready for a strong push for a Next Gen Gameboy with the power of a Gamecube.

Nintendo Gaming / Game Idea: Jet Set Radio DS
« on: March 02, 2005, 08:07:15 AM »
I believe a Jet Set Radio game for the DS could be pretty cool. The graphics lend itself to the system with using cel-shaded technique that I know the system can pull off.
The ability to design your own tags with the stylus and even trade them with friends.
When playing the game, you use the bottom screen to show you locations on a map, your info such score and stuff and even a personal Ipod like device. Basically you can scroll through music while you are playing. From songs from past JSR games to classic Sega tunes to some new songs.
Also when you go to tag, you use the stylus or your finger in the direction for the combo. So you go to a wall, before you had to actually move your anlong stick in the direction... now you actually spray the wall.
Also have support for Wirless Multiplayer including games like Tag the city... where you try to fill up the sity with tags. Or even one person controlling the police with a squad.
I think it could be a very classic game re-invented for the DS.
