Re: Nintendo DSi
Eh, I bought a DS lite a couple years back and it's kind of neat but it's really gimmicky. The second screen is hardly ever really groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, and the touchscreen is done way better by Apple and there's a lot more innovation touch-wise on the iPod Touch and iPhone.
I won't go on a long rant, but Nintendo's been letting me down for years with gimmicky products (GBA/GCN, eReader, etc) which they supported poorly, and flying in the face of all logic (Iwata in 2004: "Gamers don't want online!") because "we're ****ing Nintendo and you're going to like us because we ****ing said so". Congrats, they changed media perception by dumbing things down and making them more tactile/intuitive, just like everyone else is doing. Hopefully they'll have an answer for a fan like me, but all I got recently was a slap in the face with SSBB after spending 13 hours in the freezing cold waiting for a Wii.

Re: Nintendo DSi
i have a ds lite and a wii. The DS is awsome (i got an R4 so that makes it even better)
but the wii need some better games, not some stupid raving rabbits and we ski crap. As for the dsi dont think it will sell as well as the other ds systems they need a brand new handheld system. like a portable n64

I know not many would play GBA games, I was saying that because without the GBA Port, Guitar Hero On Tour and On Tour: Decades become unplayable on it. And I don't know what your opinion is, but if you think it's just some stupid idea from GH, think again because it is one of the most ingenious and fun games on the DS and yet Nintendo wants to basically make it unplayble on their new system upgrade. If this isn't your opinion, sorry for biting your head off.

Re: Nintendo DSi
Guitar Hero sold for .90 million in America while it sold for 0.01 million in Japan. Nintendo, which is based in Japan, designed the DSi and they obviously didn't have that one game in mind when they were designing the console because a great deal of its fan base doesn't even play it.
I never said I thought Guitar Hero for the DS sucked and that's largely because I've never played it before. However, the game wasn't a large enough success to convince Nintendo that the GBA slot needed to stay just for that one game. I focused on the old GBA games because there are several great GBA games that I still play every now and then and that would be more of a motivation to keep the GBA slot than just one game with a peripheral. Besides, just like somebody already mentioned, those who like the game have it and if they have it, they have a console that can play it. I doubt anyone is going to throw away their DS or DS Lite when they get a DSi. ~Tsugomaru

Re: Nintendo DSi
I guess. But still. It's like the Game Boy Micro to the Game Boy Advance. Whh come out with something like that when you have 2 perfectly fine systems... then again the DS came out less than a year after the GBM so is this a sign that a new handheld is being made?

Secondly, what makes the innovation? The technology or the way it's used? If you take a wii remote and use it only to point and click. It's not anything more than a mouse or something. The way it's used is what makes the difference. Same goes for the DS's touch screen. Thirdly, the way some games mix the top and bottom screens are amazing. There are loads of games where the touch screen and the top screen blend in to each other beautifully. There are some games where the top screen and the bottom screen are just as important as each other. Fourthly, It's a touch screen. It's the same ****ing thing. The touch screen on mobile phones, mp3 players or DS' are used exactly the same. You use it to navigate through your phone or MP3 player. You use it to select the payment method at a self checkout. You use it to play hundreds of different games via using the touch screen in numerous ways. Wow sounds to me like you're just looking for reasons to be angry. Tell me, what is a "Fan like me"? I'm sure you've already moved to a different console or something where they support "fans like you" anyway. Man, they must of really gotten you upset. Quote:

So apple has a handheld games console out with all that media built in too right? You're a ****ing moron. If they're trying to copy anyone it would be sony's PSP. Even then I can think of how it's still different.

Re: Nintendo DSi
Oh and I'm bummed about the GBA slot being taken out. It may stop me from getting one. I do still play GBA games. I wouldn't want to have to take a step backwards and carry around my SP as well as a DSi.

I agree with you. A thread of morons. Of complete and utter idiots. It's confounding me.

Re: Nintendo DSi
I almost wanted to reply to most of these idiots. I just had to with the apple fanboys though.
I couldn't believe that they could make it seem like apple had anything to do with this.

Re: Nintendo DSi
Chromer, believe what you want, but it's not going to change the fact that hundreds of thousands of people will buy the NDSi. That is reason enough for Nintendo to release a new product. No rule is forcing you to buy the NDSi and if you much rather wait for a "new" handheld, then that's your choice.
