If there is anything we've learned about Nintendo over the years, it's that they take their time in making what gamers want. You want better graphics than the NES? Let's make it "Super." Are you sick of using cartridges? Here's the GameCube. Think that DS should be able to do much, much more? Here's the DSi.
Graham Russell: "Generally, when you’re looking to play a game with friends, it’s much easier to do it on a home console. With portables, each player usually needs a system, and most need a copy of the game (and maybe some funky cables, if you go back enough). Generally, people haven’t bothered to take advantage of the technology. Of course, if you’re a crazy person like me, that’s more of an incentive than a barrier."
SPC: "Last week began the five week series of what I perceive to be the 50 best Nintendo DS games of the system's exhaustive library... This week we delve into ten more top titles for the Nintendo DS, one of the best-selling dedicated gaming platforms of all time, currently at around 150 million units worldwide across all revisions. On these ten titles for this week, we have a menagerie of memorable characters and series like Mario, Mega Man, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Remember that these games must have released in North America to be on this list. With that out of the way, are you ready for round two?"
Gaming Gauge writes:"It’s not a secret that I’m a massive fan of Square Enix’s Crystal Chronicles series, and oddly enough it was the second DS entry, Echoes of Time, that really cemented the series as one of my favourites. This was because it took the addictive multiplayer action online and really concentrated on making the experience natural and easy. There unfortunately hasn’t been a new entry in that style since then(fingers crossed there’s a new one at E3) but I was very excited when I heard that Square Enix was working with n-space on a new online dungeon crawling, hacking and slashing adventure for the 3DS; finally something to satisfy my hunger! My thought immediately went to how Square Enix should concentrate on this ease of use again and what lessons they should take away from Echoes of Time."
I don't know what it is about Nintendo but they just don't interest me. These announcments just don't do it for me. Sony and Microsoft are much more important to the media it seems as well. When Sony and Mmicrosoft speak, people listen. when Nintendo does it it's just another day at the office.
I'm sure these are great announcments for their core fans but I can't get excited for another DS that offers up nothing new hardware wise, other than features. the games they have shown for the wii don't excite me. Nintendo just isn't exciting to me. I think punchout might be great, but it's still not enough to have me revert back to my childhood and worship nintendo again.
Sorry.
Sorry, not interested in the slightly upgraded PSP-3000 and not interested in a slightly upgraded DS. You guys let me know when you make the next real handheld gaming system, I'm talking real 3D graphics with dual analog controls (movement, camera). Until then, count me out.
even when they make the most powerful console of the gen(gamecube) people complain,there is no pleasing these people.
Im satisfied by the lineup if your not dont comment....
thats like me coming into the xbox or ps3 area and just saying
"been here, done this 5 years ago on my computer,oh look another sports title or fps."Even though its true doesnt mean i have to go in just to say negative stuff.
No GBA Slot might make this a pass for me, plenty of good GBA games still keep my interest. I understand everyone needs to move forward and removing the GBA slot is what cut down the size of the DSi from the Lite even more. I'm still up in the air about it, really I dont think i'd get much use out of the camera since I play more single-player stuff on the DS unless I hang out with friends locally that have a DS, or enough friends are online at the same time for a good game of Mario Kart or Tetris.
Maybe Nintendo can sway me into this instead of a Lite, since I'm still using the BrickDS.

Titntin ill be what you want me to be.
"I still think removing GBA support was self-fish and only further proves how much Nintendo cares about Nintendo and less about the millions of people that make them super-rich. Nintendo only does the bare minimum to get ahead. Their technology is always 2-4 years behind and software support is a joke.
I wish people would only praise the fact that their success makes Sony, Microsoft work harder. The two hardware companies that actually cater to the hardcore and people who like to be immersed in a gaming experience instead of dabble in them."
Ill agree with you that Nintendo is selfish which is the reason they want you to rebuy games you already own but instead of focusing on that why not focus on how Sony keeps forgetting about its BC.or How Nintendo last gen had the most powerful console.Sorry Sony and Ms came along quite after the hardcore gamers were already playing pc games but you werent there because you werent hardcore.Instead you think hardcore started with Sony.
Now titntin what was the point in that.Exactly.and there are people on here that do that every post.
Just negative the whole time....sorry im not really liek that.....but when i do it once you call me out.
There is enough people here that are negative enough so i get tired of it when all people do is come in here and be negative....it brings nothing to the table.
Now if they posted criticism and optimism thats one thing but the same people visit the wii side of things just to beat it down....or dont you see that.
There is 100 other posters here that should have heard you get "it" off your chest,pompous..please,look around. You say if i dont want this go somewhere else...sorry even in the posting rules it says not to be negative.Im just going by the rules.
