That does look great can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Still not sure about the graphical standard of the games tho, I'd have to see a huge improvement over my GBA to convince me to shell out for a handheld.

LegacyUser · 27-02-2005 7:07pm

What the hell is so great about the ad? I think it is pretty crap.

Placebo · 27-02-2005 7:09pm

yeah, its not great. Decent.

Rew · 27-02-2005 7:11pm

Its a big improvement of the GBA ie like going froma SNES to an N64. The current line up is crap though they need a few killer titles out and a few more announcements on dates for it going online future plans etc. They have a rumble pack coming but as per uasual there are no details yet.

The pilot pukeing everywhere is funny

Placebo · 27-02-2005 7:15pm

rumble pak for DS ?

Rew · 27-02-2005 7:19pm

Yeah its not announced or confirmed but some one accidently found this:

He had a GBA movie player in the GBA slot at the time which fooled the DS into thinking it was the rumble pack.

LegacyUser · 27-02-2005 7:50pm

I can see the DS failing because of its absolutely diabolical advertising...What the **** is that??? Are they trying to attract 2 year olds?

Rew · 27-02-2005 7:54pm

The American adds were alot more subtle. Various adults using picto chat on fogged up windows or plates of gravy at dinner

They're not even taking the piss are they? Oh dear me.

Still I'd pay good money for the costume

Stalfos · 28-02-2005 4:02am

Has anyone got any decent stuff about the DS?
Those ad's were alright but still like to see some actual game play.

lol i can see u havent a clue that ad is for a two year old game,get with the times.
as for ds it wont fail,and nintendo and sony know it the two consoles are aimed at different games theres the materialistic gamer with gadgets like ipods etc,these think graphics are the main part of a game
the ds on the other hand is aimed at people who now what to expect from ninteno, ie creative games, innovation without all the big shiny things to distract ya that the games are pants.
both machines will sell and neither will fail as there aimed at different ends of the spectrum

I am not gonna say it will fail...I hope it doesn't. I hope they get loads of games out and I hope it does not fail like the Cube. But I can not see it happening because certain trends still seem to be happening. I want to see far more games on launch and planned to come out...so it will attract people like me into their unique circle so I can play a game like Mario 3 on the ds...first impressions from what i have read and heard about limited games and graphics not being great(YES I KNOW THEY ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT!) but still...they can make the differenct in a competitive portable console market...End of.

Hmmm.... Nintendo are getting better at international advertising. The US DS ads. were cool and now this deadly french ad. I wonder what they'll do for Europe. Nothing probably. :rolleyes:

That is another thing as well...Why won't they concentrate on Europe???

Brock · 28-02-2005 7:56pm

nintendo are puttin alot more effort into europe this time around as the big bash in paris showed the other wee.As for games on launch over psp,according to market analyists the psp is selling each unit at several hundred dollars/euro loss this is the reason why they have so many low quality rushed out games on release as they have to make this money back asap,but the psp also has another problem and that is it is gettin thrown identical games that are on psp and according to don mattrick president of EA they say" we will be offering excact same degree of support for ps2 as psp".with having to make all this money back from software u would expect sony to release it at 200 instead of 250 as if games are 50 euro each they face a uphill struggle kinda like that of dreamcast and we know where that went.

Ciaran500 · 28-02-2005 8:09pm

Low quality rushed games?

"They need this money back asap" This is a multi billion dollar international company they can easily afford sit back and throw money at it to get a market share and make money back in the long run.

The quote from Don Mattrick means they will be putting just as much effort into PSP as they will the PS2. Not that they will be converting everything. And who buys a console for EA games :rolleyes:

Nintendo finally get it right
