This is like 2004 all over again, I just can't see why people still prefer the PSP over the DS.The Take Out Bandit said:Ouendan sounds interesting, but not $130 interesting.
Advanced Wars, Mario Kart, Warioware all fall under the banner of Nintendo games I do not like. I don't care for SRPG games. I've never gotten into the kart game craze, never - not back on the SNES when Mario Kart first came out. Warioware is just a poor man's Bishi Bashi Special 3 - filled to bursting with hideous Nintendo mascots and less fun to play.
Nintendogs is the poster child for everything that's wrong with the DS. I've tried the demo multiple times, and I simply did not get it. I'll take a good Final Fight clone over this crap any day of the week.
I'm not a fan of dull turn based RPG's so that rules out Square across the board. No Rocket Slime, no Valkyrie Profile. None of that crap.
I'm just not a fan of the sort of games Nintendo makes. I prefer strong third party offerings, like on the GBA, PSP, and PS2. Even my GC library is third party wacky games.
I'd be interested in trying out the Castlevania games, but the first one sounds awful; what with having to draw the symbols on the touch screen. That's the sad sort of gimmickry I'm not interested in. From what I've read the sequel ditches that mechanic, but still not something I'm going to run out and blow $130 on.
I'm not talking about the handheld market, and the Wii; regardless of net-nerd hype is still an unproven commodity. Back here in reality, the GC has long since been trampled; and Nintendo clings to life through the DS. Which N-fans seem to think translates to success in the TV console arena.
I'm sorry you're not at all familiar with saving loose change, but like I said - I've already pulled out $17.50; and I'll post the tally once I wrap the rest.![]()
And rocket slime isn't an RPG (atleast not in the DQ/FF kind of way), and most importantly, Advance Wars isn't an SRPG, really shows how much you know about those crappy nintendo(ish) games, have you ever even tried Advance Wars?
