To those with both a DS and PSP... - Page 5

I don't see Nintendo releasing GBA2 or even officially announcing it until the DS loses major support by both developers and consumers. Then they'll probably release it as a handheld superior to PSP. Instead of dropping DS support they'll most likely market it more as a PDA device than a gaming handheld...and release an 'SP' version of it that resembles such.

I'll be using Kyuzo's quote on this one,

What I was complaining about, was why Sony didnt make a solo version and the PSP, the value pack, wasnt valuable to me. Also what I didnt like was that in order for me to get the PSP I HAD to buy the value pack, THATS what I complaining about.

Heres the quote, about the chips...

Why would I buy chips for 75 cents when I can get the same satisfaction from 50 cent chips? Because theres more chips in the bag? No... I just want a taste of honey BBQ in my mouth, but that doesnt mean that I want an excruciating amount.

This is why I didnt like the value pack. I just wanted the PSP with the necessities, not accesories. That was it...

Jesus Christ...a product is either worth your money, or not worth your money

DONT buy it now, and wait for a price drop or for them to sell the PSP alone with no accessories.

It's that simple...

Sequals are fine... but I don't ever want to see Master Chief Tennis, Halo Vehicle Races, and Master Chief Golf. Also, some high numbers can be ridiculous... like the Final Fantasies (though they only use the name, many gameplay aspects are different and the stories/characters are unique) and Dragon Warrior.

I didn't want to see DOA Volleyball either. But, it's alright because there isn't a DOA Karaoke or DOA Olympics yet.

Nintendo isn't just releasing sequals... they're copy/pasting old characters in a large percentage of their games... whatever kind of game they may be.

Well said...

I don't want to go around seeing party games with my favorite characters in it, especially if they are doing it over and over.

Can anyone imagine Cloud playing Tennis?

Canyarion · 04-01-2005, 01:55 AM

Well, if Typhus played the waterball game, why not let Cloud play tennis?

You're all acting like the Mario Tennis, Golf, Kart... are rediculous, but they're great. Wouldn't have been the same without Mario.

See Mario as Mickey Mouse, it doesn't matter where they star in, it's just a character.

MuGen · 04-01-2005, 02:10 AM

Blitz ball is a mini game inside the game, it's not a seperate game.

And........ no..... Mickey Mouse has disappeared, you basically see him in old cartoons, or in Disney World. Disney cartoons these days are new and versatile, and do not contain old characters.

Nintendo fears change, when it comes to games. They see SHADOW the Hedgehog and don't want to venture into that territory. So they keep Maio in almost everything they do. It's almost as if they are overdoing the whole mascot thing.

I can compare Nintendo to Nickelback.... cookie cutter...

I have respect for Nintendo, but like Nickelback, they choose a sound that works and stick with it for a long time. (How You Remind Me and Someday... same song maybe?)

I didn't touch Mario tennis simply because it's "Mario" tennis. Yes, it's biased, but it lost a sale, right? I'm sure the game mechanics are good. Mario Party games are fun. But, I don't play Mario for the mario characters, I play for the gameplay. Nintendo has plenty of good games, there are too many collaboration games, though. Too many familiar names.

Sequels are good, especially if the series is good (obviously).

I dunno, maybe I'm not being fair in that I haven't tried and tested every Mario game (that includes the wario stuff, luigi stuff. anything based on mario). And, they do produce some pretty good games. But the lack of character variety makes me turn my head before I can enjoy some pretty good gameplay.

Collaborations and sequels are great, but only in moderation. SSB was good. SSB(XX) will be redundant. Marvel vs Capcom was spectacular... MvC2 was somehow better (more characters). But, MvC was something original. There weren't too many games that had Marvel characters as fighters.

But, to reanswer your question... I do think it's ridiculous. Waluigi, Daisy, Toadette... it really reaches a line of acceptance, y'know? And it definately didn't notice that line when it passed it.

The same could be said with PSP. Every system tries to put out big name franchises that their customers are familiar with so that the systems and games sell.

Canyarion · 04-03-2005, 04:47 PM

I agree with Waluigi, Toadette etc....

But Daisy has been around since... 1990? Super Mario Land for the GameBoy.

haha...Waluigi is a tool

I could see Waluigi going the Shadow route and getting his own game. Being evil and goofy I would love to see the kind of adventures he could get himself into. He's such a reject of a character that he's bound to be a success.

Your misunderstanding the point of my statement.

It's not the repetition in games itself, it's the repetition of characters in games.

They re-use Mario characters for almost every game that has come out for DS and GCN... thats my arguement...Of course every console will have sequels to their popular franchises... but you only see Mario everywhere on GCN

Master Chief has yet to see a Tennis game...
And Jak & Daxter have not thrown a party yet.
