Acmlm's Board - I2 Archive - General Gaming - Hopefully not done too recently... Which "new" portable/s do you own? | |
Pages: 1 2Add to favorites | "RSS" Feed | Next newer thread | Next older thread
Which of the two "new age" portables do you own? NDS or PSP, or maybe both?
Simply choose if you own a Nintendo DS, a Playstation Portable, both, or neither. This is at the current time, by the way, not what you plan or hope to do in the future.

I simply made this poll to see after abit of time how many people have gotten a NDS or a PSP, as well as what they think of them and if they regret it or love it or anything, with new titles and such out for the systems, and things they await that they basically bought the system to wait for. I hope it was okay for me to make this. I also hope I picked decent colors for the systems.

It seems like both Nintendo and Sony released their machines 1 year too early, there's barely any worthwhile software for them yet (Save for the Nintendogs craze in Japan).

Nintendo DS and is not considering to get PSP yet, unless there is some games I want coming out for it.

Both are rather dry on games currently, but there is a few intresting games coming out for the DS. Such as Advance wars 2 and Nintendogs. For the PSP... I have no idea.

I bought a NDS and it makes me VERY happy.
GBA games with backlight, Nintendogs/Puppy Times, and even a working SNES emulator that seems to be progressing rather nicely.

I've tried the PSP, and while it's O.K., I see no reason for me to purchase one anytime soon.

Have neither, want neither, happy with GBA. I got a light thing for my GBA that works sufficiently, as well as the Game Boy Player for when I'm at home.

And there's not one current DS or PSP game that really interests me.

I have a DS, and it's been sitting on my shelves for months, honestly.

I'm just waiting for Metroid Huntes, Castlevania DS, and there's supposedly talk of another sidescrolling Metroid being made for it also.

The PSP is cool and dandy.

Honestly though, I'm just not much of a handheld gamer, it just isn't my deal.

I got my DS the first day it came out. I reserved mine well in advance. I don't regret it, even though my dad plays it more than I do.
Most of the current games aren't that great, but I look forward to the online games. Mario Kart will rock, as will Animal Crossing.
Metroid Prime: Hunters? Only if they revamp the health system for multiplayer. I got my ass handed to me by cpubasic13 simply because he had five full energy tanks at one point, and you only get one tank when you respawn. Not cool.

why buy? there will be a emulater evenulty( Maybe in 2030, but, oh well.) then some roms of the games. (Hacking has gone a long way since 1980, so think of what to come out!) Although I'm not sure if the DS is even emulatble, with the touch screen and all.

Why buy?
Well... lemmesee...
I can use it while not sitting at my computer desk and take it where I please. I never have to worry about my games not being perfect or not being fast enough, since they aren't emulated. I won't feel like a complete theif, emulating something I don't own.

And of course the DS is emulatable, emulators are already showing alot of progress and have some games running (somewhat). The touchscreen could be emulated by using the mouse.

Hey, I won fair and square! Not because of a cheesy health system. You should have used strategy against me.

Anyway, I got mine the first day it came out. I am happy with it. The only problem is that there are scratches on it because my mom put it in her purse in the same pouch with her keys. Then after that, I got a carrying case.

I have a great puzzle game anyway. Meteos is staying in my DS for a very very very very very very very long time. The best DS game so far in my opinion.

Plus, they are going to have Viewtiful Joe DS and Nintendogs... and Animal Crossing and New Super Mario Bros. Not to mention that one surgery game (can't remember the game) looks good.

As for the PSP... played a few games on it. Most noticable one was Ape Escape, which I have played many times on the original Playstation. Good graphics, I will say, but the load times? INSANELY TOO LONG. There was a loading screen from one point in the level to the next. I didn't like it...

Okay, how 'bout I get five tanks and you get one? Think you can beat me then?

Oh man. I forgat Viewtiful Joe. That game kicked so much ass on the Cube.

Here's a bit of a conversation I heard regarding the PSP: It plays music, movies, and even has a GPS!
I think to myself: I wonder if it plays games. That'd be cool.

Ah, cynicism. My weapon of choice.

I have a Nintendo DS. I only have Super Mario 64 DS.. other games interest me, but I don't have money, and my mom will be damned if she's going to buy me another game, when she can spend literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars on Sonic things for my brother. not that I'm bitter.

Animal Crossing online sounds kickass, and I'm slowly saving up money for it when it comes out.

The PSP just doesn't interest me.

Well, I have a DS and PSP. I modded my DS so now it is metallic blue with a blue SMD LED and White for low battery, and also charging. Those things are so damn small!

I only own a DS so far, but I'm considering getting a PSP, depending on what sort of money I have left after getting a Revolution and other things, and also as long as there are at least two games released for it, that I won't be able to play on anything else.

I have 9 games for it right now, if you combine both GBA and DS, only one of which I don't like (Yoshi Touch and Go, for those who are curious). I'm considering biking out to EB Games this afternoon to try, and possibly buy Meteos as well

The only thing I don't like about it is the inability to link up GBA games, especially since 3 of the 5 I have require that function to fully complete the game In all, I'm quite happy with it. It's the first handheld I've ever purchased, so that has to hold some significance.
