Quote:Really? Huh. I guess Gran Turismo 4, Devil May Cry 3, Jade Empire, the PSP and its slew of great titles, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat are all crappy games. Whaddya know. You learn new things everyday!
PSP is different, it's a system launch... and it's been delayed. I'm sure Sony didn't choose to release it in spring!
As for other games, Jungle Beat isn't a AAA title. Others? As I said, a few a month. Your list there doesn't contradict it. Honestly, don't argue this. It's impossible, as it is a very well known fact that the highest quantity of good games comes out around chistmas. Oh, others come in around the year, but not in large numbers and not consistently. It's a sad fact brought on by how dominant the christmas season is on the year's game sales. And that's why Nintendo, as always, is backloading its schedule so the best stuff comes out around then. For the DS as well as the GC.
Quote:Yeah, negligable changes. Like film to dvd.
Film to DVD is just cleaning up the picture, though... home console to portable is more than that.
Quote:Please list out all of the conventional PSP games and all of the unconventional DS games. Please, do so.
PSP: buttons, controls, screen. DS: touchscreen and microphone. And games that use it. That means more innovative control systems and more innovative games. It'll take some time for the best uses of them to come out, but we already see some with stuff like WarioWare and Yoshi...
Quote:So like a dozen or so good games in a system's lifetime of a decade is considered an "AWESOME assortment of great games"? The original Gameboy had a pitiful lineup compared to every other Nintendo system save the Virtual Boy.
Virtual Boy had twelve games, period. GB has a huge library.
