I went back to both the ps1 and the N64 after reading this, and I have to say that the only reason Nintendo got outsold was because of the cartridges. The N64 still has classic games that are still unrivaled today. However, I tried all the 'classic' of the PS1, and all of them have been easily bypassed by titles on the DS and others.
IMO, the PSP's barely a game system to begin with, just a media system. It wins in that department because I've seen people with PSPs who don't have any games, they just use it as a mp3 player among other things. Although, I'm only saying this because the DSi shop SUCKS for the most part.
^ Ugh. If I wanted a good plot, I'd read a book or watch a movie. What you clearly do not get is that gameplay is the whole point of games from the start. If you go through games with crappy gameplay just to see the next cutscene or plot twist (cough*Final Fantasy*cough, don't kill me FF fanboys) you clearly should not play games.
^ You're saying that Fire Emblem has a worse story than Sonic? SONIC!?!? Clearly, you've never played the FE games. 1 game has as much story as all the Sonic games combined (Sonic Adventure 1& 2 excluded). Emotions for Nintendo characters require imagination (which I prefer). Sonic games have what feels like rushed, and cheesy dialogue. And finally, Sonic characters are numerous, each with their own distinct look and personality that sets them apart from the pack What? The only good Sonic characters are Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow.

Re: Talking Point: Should Game Stories Be Regarded as Highly as Literature?
Personally, I don't like the idea of games with story. IMO, less story, more gameplay.

Re: Gamebridge Announces European Release of Overturn: Mecha Wars
Yes, oh yes. This looks freaking amazing.
Re: Review: Pyoro (DSiWare)
How many times do you have to play the 1st one to unlock the second? Getting 10,000 points is out of the question for me.
Re: Review: Master of Illusion Express: Funny Face (DSiWare)

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
I can't stand the 3D Zeldas for some reason. So, add that with a frustrating time system, and you got yourself an instant skip.
Re: Preview: Rhythm Heaven
I have to say, this game has a freaking awesome concept. However, it's killed by 1 thing, the controls. The flick is completely broken!
Re: US DSiWare "Launch" Titles Confirmed
Eh, both games don't interest me. The moving notepad holds promise, however. I guess I'll be saving for GB games.

Holy crap, there's a lot of sweet news these few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Wii Storage Solution Solved - Finally A Use For The SD Card Slot!
Finally!!!! This should've been out a long time ago.
Re: 6 New DSiWare Titles Coming to Japan
So, is that Band Bros. app really a radio that uses the Internet, or just a music and photo player?
Re: Video - The Making of Bit.Trip Beat

Re: Rejoice! The DSi Gets a Virtual Console After All

Re: Review: Gunstar Heroes (MD)
^ Here, let me put it this way. This game is Contra III on the GenesisMega Drive, ON STEROIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Review: Golden Axe (MD)
What a fun game. The controls are almost natural so anyone can do them. Only problem I can find is that it's too short.
9 10
Re: Bomberman '94 & Detana!! Twinbee Coming To US Virtual Console On Monday

They gave it a Wiiware game a good score? UNTHINKABLE!!!!!!!!

Re: Pop Plus: Solo
Okay, NOW I'm glad I didn't get Pop yet. 500 Wii Points is a steal.
Re: Out Today: Sonic & The Black Knight
but some of the other industry "giants" haven't been very favourable so far, IGN:
This is a Sonic game that craps all over everything that has ever made the series interesting and then adds pointless waggle.
Ign gone down the crapper for years. Don't pay attention to their crap.
