Title: Nintendo in 2010: Part 2 (The DS)
Post by: Nintendosbooger on January 03, 2010, 02:08:15 PM
Here are some of the notable releases for the best selling system this generation, the NINTENDO DS. The DS saw another great year in 2009, easily overshadowing its main competitor, the PSP and the PSPGo (rofl), in terms of quality of games and sales.

Here is a glimpse at the DS 2010 lineup. Please, feel free to contribute any movies, images, or other games I might have missed.

Lots of games I'm interested in, but seeing how they're on a handheld, I'll more than likely never play any of them.

I've got a DS Lite, I just never play it. DQ IX and Strange Journey look great, though.

You know, after my Wii thread (which you guys butchered, thanks btw), I'm not the least surprised by most of your anti-Nintendo responses.

There are some GREAT games coming out for the best video game system this generation, and you'd have to be a blind, Nintendo hating fanboy to say otherwise.

I see a record breaking software year for the DS in 2010. There are games for everyone this year on the handheld.

Iron Man 2 = huge improvement from the last one. Don't sleep on it, guys.

In what way? It has Wario, it has Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Phantasy Star, other great games from other genres. How is it underwhelming??

Everyone laughed when I said X-Men Origins: Wolverine DS and Spiderman: WoS DS were going to be solid, and they turned out to be good games. Iron Man 2 is of the same cloth, trust me.

What's the story on Blood Bowl?  I was hoping with all these stupid 'exclusive' contracts that some companies would go back to making fantasy type sports games but with stats/players etc like they used to.  Blitz the League is ok but I miss things like Mutant League Football or CyberBall.

I'd kill for a new CyberBall actually, I still play the arcade version from time to time.

It's a turn based strategy game based off a board game of the same name.

Is that a bleach RPG?! What's the combat like, turn based?

Looks like a strategy game, similar to the Super Robot Wars and SD Gundam G Generation titles.

The DS has the best collection of RPGs out of any system. That is FACT. Complain about the remakes all you want but I suspect you havet eve played the original games, either. You're bitching for the sake of bitching. Maybe you'll have a better RPG experience on the PSPGO!

Interested in:

Blue Dragon
Dragon Quest IX
Dragon Quest VI
Infinite Space
SMT: Strange Journey

DS once again only has rpgs.

I wish I had a flash cart so I could pirate ALL of these that AREN'T Strange Journey (maybe DQ too because it needs the sales).

Not to mention handheld rpgs pale compared to other rpgs. There's the occasional hot title like Etrian, but for the most part I find handheld rpgs lackluster and full of C-grade titles.

Thankfully there's DQ and SMT.

Just because ds has all the rpgs this gen doesn't mean they're GOOD rpgs.

Even if I haven't played all the FF and DQ games, remaking them in shitty 3D is not gonna make me wanna play them. I rather play the snes roms or the PS1/GBA 2D remakes.

Tales of Vesperia
The Last Remnant
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Demon's Souls
Valkyria Chronicles
FF XIII

I'm not gonna add western rpgs just to be fair. Name 21 DS rpgs that are worth playing.

terrible story
terrible writing (the translators were more talented than the writers)
average puzzles
shit graphics (that's outside of cutscenes or dialogue options)

An adventure game without good puzzles and story is basically suicide for that game. I liked the premise, but the actual game bored me to tears.

I dunno, how about 21 that aren't mediocre? Then again if they're mediocre, they're most likely not worth playing.

As for the guy that said the PSPGo is better than the DS, the GO is the biggest handheld bomb in the history of video games. You're likely the only nincompoop within 500 miles that owns one. It won't even surpass the Xbox 360's sales in Japan, so you better make sure you keep that shitty little handheld working because Sony won't be making any more pretty soon!

Post by: magus on January 03, 2010, 04:44:10 PM
How has every Atlus game since Nocturne burned you?

digital devil saga - i tried playing this one many times,i always get bored near the castle bit,the dungeon are boring,the character single dimensional (i understand or i would say "I DO NOT COMPREHEND" it's supposed to be part of the story but it makes for character i want to punch in the face!) i don't like the skill system either,it just seems awfull easy to be able to cherry pick every skill i want (oh my,the enemies are using fire let me get the fire immune skill  ::)) not to mention that most of the time you end up wasting skill points because you don't have the money to buy the next skill set you want,why not let the player rack the SP and spend them as they want if you are going to put a money limit?

devil summoner - i love the setting but the battles were boring and it never felt like the game was going anywhere plotwise,most of the demon you get are useless,eliminating what essentialy makes shin megami different from any other rpg,i can barely remember anything about the game (i think the last boss i fought was the one who get inside the matrioska) the sequel had better battles and it was a better game but it felt equaly unremarkable (altough at least i can remember the plot so that's something i guess) especialy since it used some of the music and location of the previous game

persona - oh good lord,persona! i can't believe people call this the best rpg the ps2 has to offer,i remember reading the jgaf impressions and being so damned excited for this,i waited it like it was going to be the best thing ever,then i got to play it

- i hate the battle system,it's the most stupid thing ever conceived,the battle start,you hit everyone weakness and then bum rush,wash,rinse and repeat for every single battle fighting the same looking enemies on the same looking dungeon

- the story goes forward only with the moon phases,this mean that the plot goes at a pace that's slower than slow,it's unbearable,it doesn't help that most of the plot falls into the "WE HAVE TO WACK THE NEXT MONSTER OF THE WEEK"

- remove the two bits above and all you get are the s.links,they aren't bad but none of them is particulary interessing and they seems to be there just to pad the game so someone can say that "IT TOOK ME 100 HOURS TO FINISH THE GAME"

it was terrible,terrible,terrible i can't believe the amount of praise it got and the fact that there are 3 freaking releases of the game! 4 is better paced and tries to be less stupid but is mostly the same game

etrian odyssey - actualy a nice game but i really hate some of the distinguished mentally-challenged decision they have done like giving you the ability to buy the most powerfull warrior weapon at random after the first half of the game,what's the point? why not put this stuff at the end? it also seems to be awfull easy to break,as soon as your medic learn immunize everything starts to do crap damage,it's no wonder that the only boss who actualy gives you a decent fight later in the game is the last one since he has a skill that nulls buffs! why not give this skill to other boss or making the medic buff less prominent?
 
etrian odyssey 2 fixes the medic but then give super power to other classes,i'm also super annoyed by the limit skills,they take forever to rise so unless you go around like an idiot fighting battles on the purpouse of raising the limit bar you are never going to use them,if you use them expect to destroy anything you are fighting since they are 5 times more powerfull than anything else your character can pull off... here's a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U03V4MAutbc
what's the point? why not making them easier to use but less distinguished mentally-challenged in actual scope?

it's also hard to not call the game "more of the same",to be fair i would say that i like etrian odyssey but not that much,it's more like a need to get my "must get loot" fix going on than anything else (heck i once played dungeon maker FOR THE LOOT!)

devil survivor - there is a really good battle system here,that's it,the game is repetitive (tough i think this of every SRPG that isn't a N1 game or final fantasy tactics so maybe i just hate srpg) the music is the most generic rock stuff i have ever heard repeated over and over,the game give you way too many "PROTECT THE DUMB NPC" mission and i couldn't care less about the "ZOMG THE DEMONS!!1!" story (i played up to day 6 before you ask)

and i guess with this i've spit most of my atlus venom,there have fun laughing over it or whatever

Put up the PSP 2010 list and I'll measure it against the DS '10 lineup for you. Quality of games this year goes to the DS, like last year and the year before. The best RPGs? DS. The best adventure games? DS. Better quality overall, IMHO. Not to mention when Pokebomb comes out in the west, it'll end up outselling ever PSP released this year combined. DS: the best selling system this gen and since the SNES. The numbers prove it.

I'm not that big on sales, TBH, but when games are selling 5, 10, 15, 20 million, on the way to being in the Guinness Record Book, all the while being critically acclaimed, then ever factor of ther success, in every spectrum, should be recognized and applauded. Games that make it to diamond status (10 million) should be applauded by everyone, fanboy or not, for its qualities. If it sells that much, it's fucking good and the only one with the problem with such great success are bitter HD fanboys who love sales just as much as some Nfans but only when they're on the winning side.

Despite certain allegations, I play games but more importantly, I buy games. A lot of games. If you little bitches did the same, your favorite games would probably crack the top 30 in the NPDs. All you parasites do is bitch and steal games. Not my type of people, sorry guys.

The DS has one of the most overrated lineups in history, especially the post 2006 lineup.  For a system that is supposedly on par with the SNES, I expect a lot more than just SNES port jobs or stuff that would have only been acceptable if it was made 15-20 years ago like the SNES.

I didn't get burned on Hotel Dusk but GAF burned me on Phoenix Wright, which was the point where I knew better than to trust their hype.

i wonder when the ds' successor's gonna come out. the ds is still selling a lot and all, but the majority of those games is shovelware.

i imagine they're going to release it before the next generation of consoles too, which isn't likely to start after 2012/13 at most. not to mention they have to start developing the games for it.

so, maybe next year?

ananus: I suspect Nintendo will drag out the DS for as long as possible.  Once Nintendo catches wind of a PSP2, we'll probably see something on the successor.  Come to think of it, since they already have their graphics chip lined up (I think), possibly 2011.

I wish I had a flash cart so I could pirate ALL of these that AREN'T Strange Journey (maybe DQ too because it needs the sales).

I remember when you said you didn't pirate video games because you wanted to go into the video game industry and blah blah blah.  What the fuck happened?  Typical Himuro lies.

As for me, I'm getting:

Dragon Quest VI
Dragon Quest IX
Ace Attorney Investigations
Blue Dragon
Lufia (maybe)
Infinite Space
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey
Pokemon Heart Gold or Soul Silver (whichever one my friends don't get)
Super Robot Taisen OG Endless Frontier II (if it even comes out here)

Then I guess you lied.  You used to talk about how you wanted to get into the games industry, that's why you were studying graphic design or whatever.  "I'll pirate anime, but I'll never pirate games, because that's the industry I want to work in and I support the creators and companies!"

The 360 supports VGA resolution, so I just bought the VGA cable, a monitor, and set the 360's resolution to VGA.

Actually, I heard from reviews since the 360 is basically a PC, you can actually get the best image from it thru a monitor.  Image quality on my monitor is beautiful, I must attest, and it was way cheaper than buying an HDTV.

I think if we learned anything with regard to 2D/3D gaming this year, it's that 3D gaming isn't so much an evolution of 2D gaming, just an optional preference. 2D titles are still very much in the game thanks to Nintendo. Sony, as the former market leader, emphasized the shit out 3D gaming and cinematic presentation to the point where it was virtually taboo, until the Big N created the perfect platform for 2D developers and illustrated BY EXAMPLE that the 2D perspective is not only a viable gaming preference but more importantly a profitable one.

Don't forget about indie games.  The Arkedo platformers destroy every overrated piece of DS trash.  The 360 is keeping 2D alive.  Nintards like NB are lauding false prophets.

DS can do 3D fine, but I'll be the first to admit that Nintendo probably tailored the system with 2D gaming in mind, 3D secondary. Nintendo always engineers its systems to fit the framework of their future software titles, which is why most their portable games, including their more successful ones, are 2D games.

No, really.  The DS has some quality software- idiot child even listed some in his op, unlike in the other thread.  I don't have a ds any more because I don't like handhelds and have no use for one, but even I'll admit that the DS' software library > the Wii's abortion of a library.

The DS is awesome.  I'm almost ready for a successor that can handle 3D better, but for a system that was basically cobbled together as a stall tactic against the PSP, I think the DS has kicked a lot of ass.  Lots of stuff to buy this year, too, depending on the kinds of games you like.

The DSi is the successor, I'm pretty sure we won't see any upgraded Nintendo handheld hardware (that's not some sort of DSi variation like the LL/XL) for at least another three years.

I agree about the DSi being a stopgap.  It had a few new things in it but in the typical Nintendo way: ie, old and unambitious in every aspect but is meant to keep people playing on unambitious 2004 hardware.

Since we already know about the processor the DS successor will have, it's clear that Nintendo has been shopping around this year to see what should go in the DS2.  Which is why I think 2011 is the year it will happen.  Nintendo probably already has the thing spec'd out and is no doubt working on the next Mario Kart and Zelda iteration on it as per usual.

Though it would be interesting if it wound up being a portable Game Cube that would play GC disks, which you could also play on the Wii and the Wiii to come later.

Has that really proved to be a real problem?  IIRC, the DS Lite was declining every single month in Japan and the PSP was outselling it.  I don't think it's out of the ordinary to assume that the DSi was for invigoration in its home market.  In terms of America, I'm no authority to make any sort of guess about how the Lite was doing here before the DSi...I imagine quite well?

Yeah, I'll agree with you about its features not getting enough focus.  Typical Nintendo.  Why they haven't done a Virtual Handheld service yet, beats me.
