I know that sounds wierd, but it looks like black palm pilot + the original GBA. Kinda reminds me of the NGage...>>;

Umm, thanks for you two cents? :P

I'm just kidding anyways, but I like see this exactly the opposite way as you do xD

Touch screen, stylus? Pictochat?(hey, it's close enough XD)

I guess it's because it has a bunch of features(that are useless in my opinion), but anyways....

Ummm...no. go to www.n-gage.com [I think that's the URL...0.0]

It was a failed portable/phone from Nokia. =/

the N-Gage was a weird cell-phone/game console combination that never really sold that well. some gamers call it a "taco" due to its appearance and it's just as practical as a taco...

No, I'm talking about the Palm Pilot part, not the n-gage part :P
But even at that point, I see this differently xD

Carlito-san December 11th, 2004 7:01 PM

I was talking to Billy....>>;

I don't know how you can call pictochat useless, but, meh, not everyone was gifted with as much brains as me =P

What does that have to do with this? :P

Anywho, lets get back on topic. Does anyone wonder what the heck FFVII: CC is about? Square is coming off with so many FFVII spinoffs, heck, they might as well change the company name to FFVII.

Lets see, FFVII: AC, BC, CC, DC.

I see some sort of pattern forming XD

mew42003 December 11th, 2004 7:38 PM

I chose DS cause I have one.And I love it!

Eventually they'll make an FFVII: AC/DC!

Anyways, I'll probably be getting the DS, since it has Pictochat, and more games that I'm interested in (but I'll probably eventually get a PSP).

Wuvable DS!
 
Our wuvable DS and his PSP buddies!

Aww, isn't it cute? :P
No? I thought so >.<

Simmons_2.0 December 11th, 2004 9:20 PM

Welll ill be getting DS, simply because i hate sony. Why did mom get a sony camera why!? And nintendos portable Games and gameplay for thier portable systems are superb. I mean look at the NGage they thought it would sell and it fell flat on its face. And people tink some systems are the best because of thier grapics, thats not right i could care less about the graphics as long as it good gameplay. And PSP doesent sound very addictive to me.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it :snea:

Scyther5 December 11th, 2004 9:39 PM

I have the DS, wich I love, but I plan on getting the PSP too when it debuts. So I'm not saying anything until I have both, but Nintendo will win me over with the better games, but PSP will do the same with the features and graphics.

Kairi December 11th, 2004 10:17 PM

The problem (okay, one of the many) problems with the Ngage is that all the developers try to overreach and indulge themselves in a fantasy that the Ngage has the power to make decent looking 3D games, and play them well. It doesn’t.

Really, we can't say either way on the PSP. We can on the DS. Dakota is a good example of this. He had high hopes for it, but its reality didn't live up to those. We won't know if the PSP does until it launches.

Kairi December 11th, 2004 10:21 PM

Well then I made a donkey of myself. >P
The DS has sold well too, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to do well in the long run, either. Too soon to really call that.

who were you talking to? Me or someone else? and the DS has bareley been out for 2 months so Dakotah could still be right about the DS. And in response to a1337a post 800 dollers!!! Thats ridiculus!! And im really mad right so forgive me.

Kairi December 11th, 2004 10:30 PM

Well he said atm it’s underwhelming, and I have to agree, that’s probably the best word at the moment for it. So yes, it’s possible, but grows less likely the longer they wait.

Sawah – but the vast majority of sales don’t take place there. Only the real fans are going to get them from there. Like I said, Sony fans will flock to the PSP; Nintendo fans to the DS. Because they trust the company, for the most part. And as for the price difference, well the PSP isn’t out in the states yet, right? o_O That’d kinda explain it. How much does the unit retail for normally anyways?

Skarmory469 December 12th, 2004 1:17 AM

I think DS pwns PSP, but as neither of them have been released I can't tell ^^;;

I want a DS, because Nintendo have always released quality games and I predict that PSP will be plagued with PS2 games. >.>

Spectrum December 12th, 2004 1:50 AM

Yep, that's true. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo's next system uses that same game as a launch title.

Very good NES and SNES games.

Although it would've been nice to see a brand-new 2D Mario platformer.

DarkPhoenix December 12th, 2004 2:19 AM

Meh.... I might end up getting them both... so meh... lol. PSP for graphics and games, and DS for Nintendo-respective games, like Zelda and Pokemon.... bah... I am gonna be ppoor XD

I may be wrong, but I heard it comes to the U.S in Summer of 2005.

PSP may have more powerful specs, but Nintendo and the DS have a better track record. A lot of people trust Nintendo for their quality games, and they are looking forward to some awesome games in the future.
