Love and Hate The DS




Posted by NightmareBassX

Alright, Like myself, some of you own a Nintendo DS. Now I would like to know, What you Love about the DS, And what you hate about it. You dont have to own a DS to respond to this thread so go ahead. Just dont post any fanboyish crap like "THE PSP RULES ALL" or "The DS sucks compared to psp and any sony product" please. Now Ill start I guess.

I like how the Ds is all inovating and is not the same old Good graphics, I like how its different then any other, I do like good graphics but what is that compared to gameplay and fun. The touch screen provides a new way of gameplay IMO.

Hate [/COLOR]
I really like the DS and I don't hate these But I don't like them,But One thing I don't like about the DS is that the games they come out with dont fully use the capabilities for the DS. Don't get me wrong, the games are great, Like mario 64ds, feel the magic, and polarium. But I think (key word) that the DS can do better, And I wish it came out with a better selection of games.

I kinda agree, but only Nintendo seems to really 'get' the DS. Everyone else is either developing titles that only use the touch screen, or just use it like a conventional GameBoy. Nintendo have some that do both and do it well, whereas games like Asphalt GT just don't seem to work...

Explain what you mean on the Asphalt GT comment, I have never played the game myself.

Basically the control is rubbish. It uses the touch screen when it doesn't have to. Maybe my point's better illustrated by Tiger Woods Golf - the golf swing system was perfected with buttons, and the touch screen doesn't work for it.

Then again, games like Polarium, Wario Ware or Electroplankton simply wouldn't be possible on a button interface.

Pretty much, they all need the touch screen to play the game, using buttons would be nearly impossible to pull off.

Feel The Magic also, I just added it because it rocks :)
I agree with doesnt have to use touch screen part, it must be hard to drive :P

Love- I love the touch screen and all the inovative games. Duel screens are wonderful.

Hate-Come on now its 2005 2-d graphics give me a break. So GBA

Graphics? You're complaining about 2-D graphics no matter how detailed they are?

Love - The innovation, the touch screen, the great Nintendo games, and the future online capabilities. Online AC? Fewer things kick more *ss.

Hate - Lack of games so far. THAT'S IT.
