I bought myself a DS as they were released in UK on the 11th. One of the new guys at work wanted to compare it to his PSP, which I thought was silly. Soon, Nintendo will have the Console market as Sony and MS seem to be moving towards multimedia systems.

Also, Nintendo have copyrighted the phrase "Online Gaming" oh bugger, I wonder how much I have to pay for saying that?

DS clearly rules over PSP, look at the sales figures.

And here...

EDIT: Did I just say "look at the sales figures"? Gawd.. So sorry about that.. I don't mean that, feh.. Sales figures say shite about the product really.. But, what I -can- say without feeling dirty and wrong is that the DS has gotten better reviews than the PSP. So there... *nods*

Nintendo is probably my second most favorite video game company out there, first is Sega, because i'm a nerd and grew up with Sonic the Hedgehog haha.

Hehe, I got my NES when I was four.. So I grew up with Bubble Bobble, Lolo, Kid Icarus, Castlevania of course... And yes, my fair share of Zelda and Mario games. I have all Nintendo consoles, except Super Nintendo.. Have to try to get my paws on one at some point.

I had a sega too, once.. Sega Mega Drive II it was. *nods* Never got many games.. Had Micro Machines, and Lion King...

Ah yes, those were the days.

Sonic! Yes!
That's the game that got me into gaming! Sonic 3 and Knuckles (Where you put Sonic 3 into the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge) is still probably one of my most favourite games around!
Insane fun! I played so much my pet birds that sat in the lounge room mimicked the ring sound

Infact I think I might pull out my old mega drive! I hope it still works...

Bah Nintendo, have a look at the last couple of systems they've had out. They just don't get the games. You can have a kick butt system but if there is only a couple of good games, then it's not going to sell. Also being able to use your console for more than gaming comes in handy, and to people that are not hardcore gamers it is a significant selling point.

Zelda is god.

I think its wrong to say they only have a few good titles.
The thing about nintendo is that they actually consider kids too.

So our definitions of good games... like Resident evil, zelda etc.. are fewer, becuase they also make simple playful games for kids. Can't exactly say I see the same thing going on over at sony... all games there are like 13+... or at least 90% of them.

And that new zelda game is going to own

I think you just described xbox for me, it's a 'kick but system' but, to me, only has a couple of good games.

Eragon · Post by **Eragon** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:30 am

I have an N64 with 13 games... I have a Game Cube with, let's see.. Something close to 15 games.. My NES I had tons of games, but they've been lost along the years. Don't come to me and say Nintendo doesn't have kick ass titles. But, if you're into friggin' racing or arcade type fighting games, then yes, Nintendo will probably suck to you. Nintendo has always focused on the adventure/action genre, and thank god for that.
