The DS won E3

<< < (10/10)

Tartar Martyr:
Sideways:  Why did you buy a DS?  Buying at launch and being disappointed by some of the better games being pushed back I could understand.  But waiting a couple of months, knowing what was available (and would be in the near future), buying one and then coming on the internet to whine about it confuses me a great deal.

I bought my DS when Warioware came out, picked up Minish Cap at the same time.  I never bought an SP so it was nice play GBA games on a lit screen.  The lack of games doesn't bug me because I don't use the DS to play "on the go" (I don't use anything for that purpose), so I can just fire up my PC if I want to play something.  The way I look at it, it lets me save money.  

Once it goes online though, I think it will more than make up for all of this dead time (although I hear the Kirby game that comes out next week is supposed to be awesome, and I have been playing the new Fire Emblem game on it, so it isn't really that dead).  Mariokart online may be the coolest thing ever, followed closely by handheld Black & White.

oh wow!  I forgot one of the biggest reasons I bought a DS! (besides that my SP was broke)  

Animal Crossing DS! :)

Once more games of that quality start coming out, the DS will definately regain some glory in my eyes.

That's actually something I had heard.  Alot of games that most people are anticipating are actually done and would be ready to ship, except work is being done on the online aspects of these games.

Honestly, I'm hesitant to get the PSP yet.  I want to eventually.  The first couple of PS2 had horrible lifespans.  That coupled with the price of $250 for a new PSP not in some sort of bundle is what makes me really hesitant.  I've already accidently dropped my DS, which I bought used, in a mud puddle and it still works.

I bought two months after launch, and the news on upcoming games was scant at best... by the time Nintendo settled into a proper marketing strategy for the DS I already had a bad taste in my mouth, and was worried that this was going to be another virtual boy.  PSP was around the corner, so I hopped on that bandwagon.
