Nintendo DS.... taken a little too far??

Ok i love the DS, i think that it is a cool system and is great for on the go gaming, but i think that they've taken it a little to far with how many of these things they have come out with... how are ppl suposse to keep up with it?? I mean first it was the DS, then DSlite, then DSI, then the bigger DS, and now the 3DS.... does this seem a little rediculas to anyone else? I mean by the time they made all these advancements for the DS they could of made an entire new protable system and had all this included on it. Idk, maybe im crazy, but when i find alotta friends selling there wiis just so they can keep up on the DS it makes my head shake.

ninty should have another press conference about this or get in touch with various outlets asking them to clarify it for everyone. joe public seem to be very confused. the 3DS is the NEXT GENERATION DS. its the DS2. its not a respin of existing DS hardware or any of that. brand new and much more powerful internals compared to the DS, lots of new features and its own exclsuive games. itll have BC with DS games but 3DS games will NOT work on any previous DS.osan0

haha I know, its rediculous how many people don't get that. Look at any pic of a game and its extremely evident.

ds phat, ds lite, dsi, dsixl

4 versions of the ds lol.. yea its a bit much

they also had gameboy, gameboy pocket, gameboy color, gameboy light, gameboy advance, gameboy advance sp...lol

I agree that there are to many versions of the DS. However, the 3DS is an all new system.

I really don't get how you don't know its a new generation.

And you're arguement is invalid

Game Boy: Original Game Boy, GB Pocket

Game Boy Color: Only had the Game Boy Color

Game Boy Advance: GBA, GBA SP

DS: DS Phat, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL

PSP: PSP Fat, PSP 2000, PSP 3000, PSP Go

The original GB and the Sp aren't the same thing

Game Boy was 1989 to 1998, then GBC was 1998 to 2001, and GBA was 2001 to 2004, and DS was 2004 to 2011

So literally, the DS was out longer than ALL of them, more than GBC and GBA combined, excluding GB, before the new console came out

The Game Boy had 9 years before the next generation handheld, the GBC came out, and the DS is approaching 7 years (6 and half) by the time the 3DS comes out

Seems good to me

The DS had 4MB of RAM, the 3DS has 128MB of RAM..

Actually we don't know that, but we know it has 96MB RAM, oh gawd just saying 96MB of RAM in the 3DS gets me all excited!

with the ability to download titles to your DS from an online marketplace, I think Nintendo needs to evolve how they do online accounts so you can transfer rights of your files to another DS unit, say I wanted to upgrade to a DSi XL and trade in my DSi, and I want to transfer my game rights... well, Nintendo doesn't allow you to do that, Nintendo will only help you recover your rights to something if the item breaks, so they've told melamprey263

Well, he made it out to be that the gameboy was the same thing jsut evolving over time, which i half to agree with to some degree, my saying back to him was simply a 'ya it was getting better and better like there doing with the DS, but they did it over a course of' according to you, 15 years, where with the ds they have rapidly changed it in 7' the ds has had 4 changes in the last 7 years, which is a crap load, where the GB had 6 or more over 15... you see where im coming from. and btw this line "So literally, the DS was out longer that ALL of them," makes no sence....

[QUOTE="darth-pyschosis"]

[QUOTE="Firefly1jedi"] Yes but look at the number of years there were between the original gameboy and the sp... DS hasnt been out near as long. Firefly1jedi

Exactly, who would pay 250 dollars for a 3d DS when you can get a PSP for 100 dollars?

Nobody said you have to buy the new ones. I bought the original DS at launch and still have it. I chose not to upgrade beacuse I was happy with the original. Also the 3DS is a new HH. Sony has done the same thing. PSP 1000, PSP 2000, PSP 3000 and PSP Go.

DerpyMcDerp

Stop trolling man.

You don't have to buy every version. They all play the same games, except for the DSi's DSiware, which isn't much. I like seeing hardware being continually refreshed. It's not like your older versions are incapable of playing the games. I could understand you being upset about that situation, but it's not like that.

Well then why dont we all just buy a couple of gamecubes and ps2 and sell out ps3 and 360s. The psp is 6 years old with out of date tech and has practically no games, while the 3ds has a great lineup and is backwards compatible with the original ds games.

It's a completely new generation of handhelds. It may look familiar to the DS family, and have a DS title in it's name but the 3DS is next gen. I swear idiots like yourself are getting thicker and thicker, it's almost hard to comprehend just how stupid some people really are, and still are amongst these forums. I would understand if you genuinely didn't know much about the 3DS, but you sound like your bashing the 3DS regardless of the facts that your completely ignoring.
