PSP or NDS

1. The GBA is not a contestant in this debate.
2. Both the PSP and the DS have awesome games, too.
3. Neither the PSP nor the DS "try" to be good handhelds.

 

I think from now(layton's release) to new year, psp will be better than DS.
Think new DS games to come. Any good ones?
Think PSP ones.... Yeah.

 

Scribblenauts.

that alone makes the DS miles ahead already.

 

Scribblenauts seems like gimmicky fun with no real substance to me. I have no idea why it's so hyped.

 

Yeah I also realized there is Scribblenauts after I type that but...another one?
Ooo no.

 

And I assume Patapon isn't gimmicky to you?


@ASD789
you mentioned that PSP will be better from this point to next year, yet you failed to mention any PSP title.

the DS has: Scribblenauts, Professor Layton 2 (which came out recently), CORE, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Bowser's Inside Story, Miles Edgeworth, and Dragon Quest IX. I didn't even mention the great DS games that came out last March, which PSP never had an answer to. What does the PSP have coming out?

Note: I didn't mention Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days because the PSP also has a KH exclusive game coming.

 

I like the PSP for it's screen resolution, gaming quality and such. Though I'm not really interested in alot of the PSP games, it seems the game selection is limited. Unless that's just me - it could just be my own taste in games that makes me ignore 90% of the available PSP games.

I used to be hyped about the DS touch screen but it's not all that fun after a while...

Anyway, I'd choose NDS

 

No.

I'm tired of people saying the PSP has an inferior selection of games. Such a thing is purely subjective, like the rest of the discussion. Some people like something, others like something else.

 

Okay zelda maybe, but all the other games you say are released in Japan, or already released. Which makes them not new. I have no idea what Miles Edgeworth is, and I forgot to mention Bahamuth's Blood and MW2(which obviusly I am the only one whos waiting for them).

For psp:
Dante's Inferno
MGS
Grand Turismo
Army of 2
Soul Calibur (should be out today but...)
Tekken 6
SMT3 portable
Shippeduen: Narutimate 3
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
GTA:Chinatown Wars -if it counts
Motorstorm: Artctic Edge
Dirt 2
Undead Knights
and some more sports games (pes,fifa,nba or so)

my point is,of course every console will have good games in autumn, its the the time of year which we get awesome games, but this year PSP gets more than DS. And I said, after the Layton's release... I know before that DS was sucking the market dry.

 

I hope that it will be a constant one or else it's no big deal as well since the NDS had always been the one with more game than the PSP. PSP was like waiting for months for one game and the NDS was like pumping games non-stop for all year long.

Games that he mentioned maybe released in JP but yet to translated or reach here yet so it's still new game.

Miles Edgeworth is a Phoenix Wright spin-off.

As for the PSP released I am not so eager coz it's the same genre we played on the PS2/360/PS3 before but of course it doesn't mean it's no good since we could play it while on the go. IMHO these games should be here looooonnngggg time ago.

PS:- Heard of Okami going over to NDS? Oh yeah one more thing, I owned a PSP too so this games released is good news to me too.

 

Yeah, okamiden is the game but its for late 2010

 

my, aren't we subjective?

 

What does this even mean?

Games are subjective, I like some games on the PSP more than some on the DS and vice versa, which is why I bought both the PSP and the DS, both system are good in their own right. The PSP has a lot more going with it then just graphics and the DS has more going with it then the Touch screen (well I hope it does).

For now I'm preferring my PSP, I haven't liked the DS Zelda games and I'm not too keen on Scribblenaughts due to the controls, I don't like using the touch screen to move my guy across a 2d plain. I will be getting Mario and Luigi.

On the PSP I've been playing Badman quite a lot and there's nothing like it on any console. I also have a love for Soul Calibur. I'm waiting on Valkyria Chronicles 2, and the new Loco Roco game looks fun.

All the games I've listed don't have much of a place on the opposite hardware, do they?

 

what it means is that he basically said the PSP will dominate the DS starting today, and when the other guy named Okami, he then comments it as "late 2010". Also, he mentioned that the games I mentioned have been released in Japan, and therefore not new. WTF?

it's like the dude's filtering the games we can mention to favor his argument. sounds biased to me.

your argument is valid, because you explained right how you didn't like Scribblenaughts and Zelda. the other guy just filtered all our game selections just to prove he's right, and that's idiotic.

 

To be honest I find using the touch screen to move the character across 2D plains was not so bad at all. Especially in RPG, it's so much better than pressing down on one direction on the D-Pad for a loooonnng time. All it need to be doen is to be done with moderation (which means includes the D-pad control).

 

Not Fotgetting KH 358/2 Days....it will be great...

 

me too, specially after my D-Pad took too much abuse and got semi-defective

 

He specified in his edit:

To be honest, I don't see too much great games coming out for the DS in 2010. Well yet anyways, gotta keep my eyes open, I guess.

The thing with controlling Scribblenaughts and it's controls is that it's combined with the physics, all the recent videos I've seen had the player pick up an item, but they had trouble, along with sometimes moving. A lot of video game blogs/mags have been complaining about the same thing. The game is inventive but it won't entice me to finish the game and the control issues will drive me nuts.

 

Okamiden
Okamiden, first announced by Famitsu, is for NDS. Game's full name is Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou and takes place in the original Okami world, several months later. We control a puppy named Chibiterasu.
Okami's designer Hideki Kamiya is not in the development team. Instead, Motohide Eshiro from Ace Attorney is designing the game. Game's 1/4 is completed, Japanese release date is probably February-March 2010. Guess when's the release date for EU-US ? July 2010.

I dont think thats subjective.

 

I do. What of it?
