[QUOTE="Rockman999"]Wow he hates the PS2 because it did what the Wii is doing this gen. :lol:sonic_spark
Well the Wii uses a little above Xbox which is fine and has the lowest hardware failure it is overly simplistic to say they are using the same strategy as well considering the Wii has motion as well.
Using your logic, the DS had a touchscreen...
Yes which is fine but it only needs one screen and the two screens are a gimick that really only a few games need but they could be done on a larger one screen
[QUOTE="ghost392"][QUOTE="ActicEdge"]So you cant split the larger horizontal screen in two parts? So then it's basically two screens again. No it simulates two because most games do not benefit from two screens and would do better with one for one secondly the battery gain and expense loss from the 2nd lcd could be turn to normal DSL standards by making the 1 lcd bigger and loosing the hingecrack from clamshell design The touch screen would still be their as would the stylus but more portability better graphics etc.If you convert elements its not the same game anymore. The whole point of TWEWY's battle system is managing 2 chracters and getting good at the multilayered combat. The whole friggin story of the game depends on the 2 screens. Please, stop with this.

Well Big Bang Mini would lose size of top screen but could be done TWEY could be done with loosing the top screen and just having one fight and advanced wars could be done like GBA The games arent impossible on one screen just the elements they used could be converted[QUOTE="ghost392"][QUOTE="WAIW"] Good job ignoring my examples. "the 2nd screen is a useless gimick" Yea, it certainly didn't lead to the best games on the DS, like Advance Wars Dual Strike, TWEWY, Big Bang Mini, etc... Those could easily have been done on one screenActicEdge

Plenty of DS games make great use of the second screen, whether it's for game input like touch based games (Pheonix Wright, Phantom Hourglass, Ninja Gaiden DS, Rhythm Heaven, Elite Beat Agents, Wario Ware) to being used to navigate menus (look at most RPGs and nearly every game), or as part of the control system (Metroid Prime: Hunters, Advance Wars, Star Fox, Pokemon, ect) it always serves it's purpose.
Honestly if you wanted to try and pick apart a handheld, the PSP is the best way to go. With all the success and amazing games the DS has had, it's kind of hard to say much against it beyond "the graphics aren't as good as they could be."

Wow I thought gamespot was above name calling and that is exactly my point 1 screen that is touch screen could do all those things and the 2nd screen is a useless gimick... I mean is it really that hard to push pause and go to map or look up the map online and have it on a large screen... Or print it out.
The map excuse is debunked right there and I thought you mocked the ipad using digital input but its okay for rpgs on the DS to use it on the second screen?
And the Pps is third place so what would be the point and I could write a book on what is wrong with it. The DS does not have "the graphics aren't as good as they could be." it has underutilized graphics and the graphics are kinda bad the only acceptable looking game imo would be COP...
What is worse is how little games use 3D when Nintendo hyped it being a 3D handheld...

I mean and many of the 3D games were ports or consoleish games with only Avalon Code, COP,Moon and Dementium being unique IP's maybe a couple more
GTA:CW the highest rated DS game doesnt count because it was remade twice
This is also appearent on Ps to be fair but the Ipod Touch has
NOVA
Gangstar
Heroes of Sparta
etc.

What are you talking about? Nintendo owes people an apology for the Wii if anything. The DS has an amazing library and the graphics look pretty good in some games too. Anyways you've got some serious problems if you actually care more about graphics than gameplay.
Rockman999
Lol the Wii has GC BC on all models making you able to sell GC and enjoy the Wii and GC classics and if you never had GC like me it owns.
Wii has perfectly fine graphics and not pixelated jaggies why would Nintendo apologize for the wii... the DS is near Wii price and what 6 years old?
And I dislike DC considering it destroyed Saturn support and I dislike ps2 for winning last gen with outdated hardware and I really only enjoyed GOW and SOTC for it

I think it is personally as the best games use it minimally for the most part and they could have made 1 touch screen instead of two screens.
All the touchscreen games for the most part dont use the upperscreen either and it would not only have eliminated hinge cracks but had best graphics as well and probably a bigger screen.

[QUOTE="ghost392"]
[QUOTE="kejigoto"]The graphics on the DS are just fine and work very well for what it does. The DS proves you don't have to be a graphical powerhouse to have amazing games. And as far as games looking terrible in 3D, Metroid Prime Hunters says hello. And it's amazing, even with less horse power under the hood the games tend to blow that of the PSP out of the water. You might have more ground to stand on if the DS's library wasn't so awesome, it wasn't selling, and the PSP was blowing it out of the water. Instead the DS's library is untouchable, it's selling amazingly well, and the PSP has sold maybe half of the what the DS has. I do believe sir that you don't have a leg to stand on. Perhaps you should return to hyping your cell phone games? I think you did abit better there.kejigoto
And moon look just a tad better then N64's best now stop seriously you are trying to say the DS has good graphics but prooves you dont have to be a graphical powerhouse to have amazing games... wouldnt that statement contradict you claiming it has amazing graphics?
Also blowing the PS out of the water makes me laugh as it is near Ps2 ( except PS makes loud clicky noises on my friends system and tends to have long load times)
When did I say it didnt have a good library and didnt I say it had the 2nd best library this gen for handhelds...?
I notice how you compare it to the 3rd place library why dont you compare it to the Ipod Touch's library?
First off I said it had good graphics, not great graphics, not mind blowing graphics, just good graphics. They get the job done and I'll take it as is, I don't look at DS games and wish for better graphics.
Last time I checked graphics didn't make a game. I never played a game and had fun simply because of graphics. If that was the case then I wouldn't own nearly 30 games for my Wii and close to 50 for my DS. Gameplay is what makes games greats, and the library of the DS trounces that of the PSP. Yes the PSP has it bet in terms of graphics, but nothing else.
The DS is widely known for having the best library this generation, nothing comes close. I know you are gonna use some line like "iPod Touch has the most AAA blah blah blah" but we aren't talking strictly AAA games, we are talking all games. And overall the DS has way better games that are exclusive to it and there are alot more than what you can find on the i-Pod Touch.
Ask any gamer out there and the answer will always come back DS/PSP > iPod touch/iPhone/iPad in terms of games. Plain and simple. You quote some review site geared only for cell phone games while no other legit sites really take the time to bother with rating the games for any the iWhatever platforms. They're a gaming platform third, behind being an MP3 Player, Phone, web browser, or anything else people do. Maybe when I start seeing iPhones and such being carried at Gamestop and people buying them solely for gaming, I might give you some credit.
We all know this is just another attempt to promote Apple products and proudly proclaim your... worm fanboyism. You're not unbiased here, it's well known you're an Apple fanboy. So let's drop the act shall we?
Wrong you didnt say they were good you said they were amazing and blow the pps games out of the water and I dont care about your opinion on the Ipod Touch's library as GS's opinion has more merit on the site Gamespot
I always said I was only part worm btw part sheep too because a pure worm is hard to find given apple doesnt have a console yet
Except that no Gamespot editors have scored any iPhone games. This review was provided by GameSpot mobile content partner SlideToPlay.com.[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]
[QUOTE="ghost392"]
Um well GS says it has more "Gamespot Score Editor's Choice" games than the DS and the games look better and are about as long if not longer then DS games that are in 3D.
Chaos Rings is probably the best handheld game I have played and I know the best RPG as you cant turn random battles off.
treedoor
He always denies this. He just likes to troll.
No I never deny the review was written by slide2play I deny that the scores arent GS scores because they are in different format and when converted are different scores then GS scores.
Eliminate pro was 4/4 which is 10/10 but here got a 9
Now under the nine is the bigg letters Gamespot Score... Scores are what translate into AAA, A,AA,etc. not reviews
Furthermore the slide2play site is owned by CNET and why waste money writting two reviews when a reviewer could be playing antoher game as GS does not have many reviewers.
You may point out Newscorp's(Which owns Fox News...) IGN and Gamespy having different reviews but this is imo do to the inefficency of them
