Nah, let's talk about green eggs and ham. Bring up a point about marketing if you want to talk about it.

And back on topic. I don't know if you can entirely blame Sony for the mass move to make everything 3D (however, I do feel alot of the blame falls on their shoulders). Nintendo was the first to truly invent the 3D genre with SM64, thereby starting what may be a trend as developers attempt to live up to SM64. Which only allows me even more respect for Nintendo in their continuing efforts to keep 2D in the picture.

Even a normally competent dev like Sonic Team can't make a decent 3D game

Well Sonic should have never been translated to 3D, or at least not the way it was. It was a 2D concept, and without considerable thought, it just won't work in 3D.

Anyone thinking about getting a DS better reserve a copy soon, Gamestop stores are sold out for the most part. Here's the link

Features, since the psp stole a lot of the NDS' thunder with its price, Nintendo should turn right around and crash the party with its own DSVideo. If a GBA cart can hold 45-90mins of video the DS should @least be able to double that with better compression. But what would you watch on your DS you say? How about Interactive Adult Swiw? Or better yet since Nin has decided to try its hand at anime how bout they bring their franchise characters to the own shows on the Ds. I don't know, just something to combat the umd movie feature of the PsP. Mp3s on the DS isn't that hard to do. The sooner Nintendo can get their wireless network up and running, they can start www.iDS.com. Think iTunes but for all things nintendo. Sountracks to all our fav games from the nes on up. That alone could be over 10,000 tracks.

About 15years ago there was this interactive Tv show, Captain something, where you would use you toy spaceship and fight the bad guys on Tv. If the bad guys shot your toy the it(yout toy would make a noise or shake). What if Nin could make the Ds compatible with everything that they have on Tv(kirby, Fzero ect). I have not the slightest how to do it but its the idea that sparks inovation and Nin needs inovation now more than ever I belive.

Ok bed time...

Welcome to the end of your account.

SOAD is the best · « **Reply #81 on:** November 02, 2004, 12:40:12 PM »

I think that would be great if they did the dsvideo. Adult Swim would be the best since they are trying to get the older people.

Edfishy · « **Reply #82 on:** November 02, 2004, 03:17:08 PM »

Heheheh. I could just imagine something like "The Family Guy" having certain points on the DS where it pauses and you can alter what will happen next, such as moving an object using the stylus somewhere else or something. It would be pretty different.

PS2 entusiasts inist the PS2's built-in DVD-player was what made it such a bargain. Now you tell people that you could have DVD's and MP3's in a portable console and it'll sell like mad. Like the PS2, whether or not the quality of the add-ins are terribly great is completely irrelevant.

Sad, but true.

It is very true actually. Back when the PS2 came out, DVD players were about $300 so in essence, PS2, the game system was free for consumers. At the time it was a good bargin.

Must've been overpriced $300 Sony dvd players...

My panasonic was only about $100...

Lost101 · « **Reply #88 on:** November 03, 2004, 03:22:35 PM »

I just dont think portable video is that big a thing with people yet. Especially because its still so limited at this point. Maybe with the next generation... but not now. I still think Nintendo doesnt stand a chance if they dont lower the price down to $100.

^r u serious!? u do know that that would be suicide right!? that would be cool though

Im going with the PSP, i think the DS is playing off the novelty factor too much and frankly im too stupid too look at two screen s at once.

Lolz, at least they come by it honestly.

Edit: That's from another forum, by the way. I found it and thought it mighty funny.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #93 on:** November 08, 2004, 05:18:01 AM »

Hee hee, that is funny.

At this point, I think Nintendo needs to do these things:

1. Keep 3rd party support as strong as possible. Games will probably be the main deciding factor in the winning system.
2. Market, market, market. DS better meet PSP face-to-face in advertising.
3. Start building a supply of "mature" games. I'm all for Animal Crossing, Super Princess Peach, Kirby and Yoshi's Touch n' Go, but honestly, this is exactly the type of stuff Nintendo haters expect from the company, and since DS is supposed to be aimed at an older market, that's not good. Work out contracts with other developers to create exclusive mature content if necessary.
4. Produce games that take full advantage of the DS' special features.
5. Possibly a price drop. Honestly, I don't know if this will help much at this point, since Sony is clearly willing to lose money to remain competitive, but there's no denying that the DS' price advantage is not big enough to impress anyone right now.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #94 on:** November 08, 2004, 05:48:29 AM »

I don't think Sony could afford to drop the price any lower before their shareholders will strangle them, Nintendo can probably drop it without much of a loss (20 off wouldn't hurt them that badly).

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #95 on:** November 08, 2004, 03:42:53 PM »

Since the PSP doesn't hit the US until next year, I don't expect any price changes from Nintendo. They may drop the price $20 around PSP launch but given Sony's low shipment numbers and the DS' sales and high shipment numbers...I seriously doubt it.

well here is my idea for the two systems, (first off, im a big nintendo, i have everystem starting with the 1st gameboy, nes, snes gbasp,gbc,n64,gamecube, gbpocket, aand a ps2 lol)

DS VS PSP- who will win, does it matter! BC there both gunna make great systems, sorry to say but gamecube is in last place for the consoles war! but they still have amazing games and its a winner in my books. but if the ds doesnt win, im sure there still gunna make great games eand th psp is a beautiful system, i love the wide sreen, and the graphics in my opinion look better than console games, i saw comparison on ign.com i think. BUT graphics are not everything and lets face it mario games could look like crap but there still the best games! so which one am i gunna get?

both! well first ds and then when a price drop comes form psp ill gtet hat! (well actually if they annouce a kingdom hearts or if thier harvests moon game looks good) lol, but lets face it! as gamers were gunna have some great portable games bc both developers r gunna try to beat eachother! soo in the end the ds or the psp wont win! we will!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #97 on:** November 08, 2004, 08:19:55 PM »

(your English hurts my eyes)

Why does it matter who wins? Well, for one thing third-party support is directly tied to the sales numbers. Compare the number of games available for the PS2 and GC, you will find that the PS2 has many more games. If the PSP outsold the DS the PSP would get more games. But because the PSP doesn't require any major changes from home console versions we wouldn't see many more interesting games whereas the DS does things none of the home consoles do and allows for new game ideas. Basically, if the D winsd we'll see more innovation. Also, this is a symbolic fight: rehashes with better graphics vs. innovation with worse graphics.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #98 on:** November 09, 2004, 07:04:02 AM »

It also matters who wins in the big picture for Nintendo. The company isn't going down any time soon, even if PSP is a huge hit and DS bombs next year. But it would be yet another step in a path that is slowly leading to death (or at least third party status) for Nintendo. Edit: That doesn't mean Nintendo has to completely destroy Sony, I think it would be a good thing if PSP were moderately successful. I just don't want to see Sony take a strong first place lead.

Personally, a video game industry without Nintendo would be a lot less appealing to me. Even a gaming industry with Nintendo as a third party is a bit less appealing to me, but it would be bearable.

FPS will be the deciding factor with the DS vs PSP. The battle for the mainstream will be won with these games. The DS seems to be a FPSers dream. The controls that Ive seen on video and have read about for metriod hunter (using the thumb strap) is as close as we'll ever get to emulating the accuracy and precision in pc FPSers.

The mainstream love FPSers and the pc players too. PC FPS fans are as diehard as they come, borderlining on it bein a sickness lol, forming clans and practicing daily. How are they goin to pass up on trully portable fraggfests. All that is needed is a well made, highly polished and playable FPS for the DS to help break the mold (much like halo did with its release for xbox, halo was never groundbreakin IMO but it was just a trully well developed , responsive game)
