Re: Nintendo DS


I have a DS. And access to a PSP and I think the DS is far more original and contains I actually want to play rather than just pretty graphics.

Pros - Meteos, Pac Pix, Advance Wars - Dual Strike
Cons - Version of Ridge Racer stinks compared to PSP, no pro evolution soccer either

As far as I'm aware doesn't the Gizmodo not have a large support base? Plus it's based on a phone which really annoys me - phones should be used to for just that, not playing games!

The DS has kept me interested since it's release. And with Mario Kart etc. around the corner I think it'll only get better.

Re: Nintendo DS


How can the PSP emulate two screens with one being a touch screen?

Re: Nintendo DS


well you could draw it on the screen and use a cursor to emulate the touch screen, but it would be a bit naff

Re: Nintendo DS


Wasn't there early ds emulated screens on a psp a couple of months back? I seem to remember it had the screens side by side rather than above and below. But it cant emulate the touch screen which tends to be the point of the DS.

You can still play the original and best sonic games on the PSP if you get what I mean.

Yeah, but it's much more fun portable, and do you really want to play 16-bit games on a PS2?

Well yeah they are better than a lot of games about these days, I dont see how it would be more fun, I would prefer to play on a full screen with a pad than on a handheld(except if I was on a bus or something).
