Yeah, I agree. No more lists. Looking at that awful DS lineup makes me nauseated.

Serious question, do you like anything other than big budget uber-cinematic American games?

Wow. You are wet behind the ears when it comes to this business, aren't you? Explains your shitty taste in games.

I just play games, dude. Sorry. I guess if all you own is Nintendo stuff, you probably only care about sales and industry people on account of the lack of stuff to play.

That's not really fair, because Mass Effect 2 is so awesome. It's really more like Trials HD > entire DS library.

::)  I don't even care about the ds anymore, but the psp hasn't had anything noteworthy for damn, it seems likes years.  Kingdom hearts? Peace Walker? Lemme guess, Rock Band unplugged made the system relevant again! m i rite?

PSP has been doing pretty good since the 3000 came out and made the system relevant again in Japan.

Ys7, KH, Peace Walker, Classic Dungeon, Zettai Hero, Prinny 2, Valkyria 2, Patchwork Heroes, Last Ranker - all original games and nothing to scoff at.  I'd say right now (2009-2010) PSP lineup is beating the gunk out of the DS lineup.

I agree.

The DS library at this point can be best described as stagnant.  There hasn't been much, if any progression in the library since 2008.  Nintendo is basically MIA.  I guess that is what happens when 2006 efforts like NSMB still chart, making it unnecessary to actually bother doing anything.

You're going senile again, prole; EOII was 2008.

More proof that the DS sucks. EmCeeGrammar, you'd be happy to know that the PSP also has superior versions of Space Invaders Extreme and N+.

Prole coined the term "gaming ghetto" just for the Nintendo DS. Never forget.

That was kaz hirai, dummy.  Prole has coined wacky jappy and wagglewand, and I'm not entirely convinced those weren't collaborations!

Prole called the DS the gaming ghetto long before any suit did. The fact that it was picked up by other members of the industry only highlights how influential Prole is within the industry.

Lists should be a bannable offense. Argue without using them people.
well gee guys i'm sorry but how do you argue about something like "ds games released in 2009" without saying what actualy got released in 2009?  :-\

To Jinfash's credit, I think it's pretty much common knowledge that the DS lineup for 2009 was garbage.

Ya I haven't bought a ds game in a long long time.  Still the first few years were pretty fucking great.

That's not really fair, because Mass Effect 2 is so awesome. It's really more like Trials HD > entire DS library.

The fact that a handheld's games is being compared to two HD console titles, one of which could be GOTY2010 (barring the 2010 release of Mario Galaxy 2 and Zelda Wii, of course), speaks volumes about that little handheld. Goddamn, the DS is so fucking good that fanboys are stacking console games against it.

Mass Effect 2 gets its props. It won't put up the sort of numbers naturally expected by the Nintendo handheld titles to which you like to compare it, but its sales should put it in the top 30 this gen.

Also when did the masses decide that Odin Sphere was the better game after all?  Didn't seem that way to me.

yeah, i haven't played too much of it, but i did get a fair bit through Odin. I simply can't imagine Odin being the better game.

I only played a little bit of Odin Sphere in Japanese, then ended up selling it.  Later on I found a U.S. copy for $20, but haven't gotten around to trying it again.  Muramasa felt like it played better, and even though it too suffers from ultra-repetitive level design and distinguished mentally-challenged backtracking through empty maps, it still has more variety in comparison.  Just wish Kisuke and Momohime had completely different stages to play through.  After finishing the game with Kisuke, I really don't care about playing Momohime's game all that much. 

Vanilla Ware should just do the visuals for their next game and let someone else handle the game play/level design.

I really want that game.  Probably the only Wii title I really really REALLY want...even though I thought Odin Sphere was heartbreakingly mediocre.  I'm just a sucker for that beautiful artwork.

personaly i think that odin sphere is a better game,muramasa plays better but the plot is all over the place and doesn't make any sort of sense which is really disappontiing after grim grimoire and odin sphere

muramasa also only plays better because 1) your character is more agile 2) it recycles less stuff,drags the game around less 3) you never have any inventory problem,that's the only ways in which it plays better

in odin sphere you had those tasty rpg element to tide you over and in muramasa they are barely in there,you level up but you never notice any sort of improvement,you make new swords and it never matters until you hit the sword with the broken power skill (which is by the way another problem,while odin sphere wasn't a hard game,it didn't feature a "i win" button) odin sphere had 5 characters which all felt different while in muramasa the two character barely differs at all,in odin sphere you used your items which also included tricks,in muramasa you just heal when necessary

also i wish to repeat it,i really liked the cutscene's of odin sphere,i'm totaly serious i can't watch this one without getting teary eyed

if only everytime a character died in a rpg it could be done so elegant instead of the character going all "NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" *sigh*  :(

Odin Sphere was pretty bad outside the great graphics.  Gameplay wanted to be an action game and an rpg at the same time but excelled in neither.
Muramasa from what I played at least just tried to be an action game and therefore had decent action.  Plus I've heard the game is fairly solid from reliable people, so yeah I think muramasa >>>> Odin Sphere.

shhh.... i think it will too, but i can see the logic in throwing it on the DS given how well 9 sold.

wonder what it would take for DQX to appear on two platforms?

People thought it was going to be a lot like wii sports.   Wii sports is what sold the system shame it wasnt stand alone or it would have been the highest selling game fo all time.

no, Wii Play is a controller with a free/cheap demo disc, hence the sales

And yes it is a shame that Wii Sports was packed in with the Wii, Nintendo could have fleeced people for so much more money!

If you didnt notice, the wii price in america was $50 more than in Japan, not exactly free.  Last time I checked anyway.


As for wii play you are right.

I have played Mass Effect 2 and i can easily say that it is overrated.  SMT: Devil Survivor is more awesome.  Atleast it held my attention to complete the game a couple of times.  Heck even Dragon Age is better.

I hold the correct opinion that rpgs are trash no matter who makes them.  You want to simulate conversation and make choices with consequences, GET A LIFE

Although I enjoy animal crossing too much to avoid being a hypocrite.

EmCeeGrammar's real life is filled with pushing people out windows, having sex with aliens, and destroying species.  Animal Crossing is his glimpse at a normal life.  Who the hell are you to judge?

Playing a game like ME2 or DA lets you do stuff you could never do in life. Playing Animal Crossing on the other hand seems like some substitute for human interaction.
if by human interaction you mean doing menial tasks to get carpets and wallpaper sure

I liked the first Animal Crossing on the Cube.  Daisy was my favourite. :heart

The formula got old after the first game though.

i loved the idea of a game based on a real time clock but the trick to animal crossing is that there is no game,just nothingness hidden behinds wallpapers and tables and chairs and other collectible thingamajinga

only one good thing come out of animal crossing

Really, what makes ME2 any different than the 100's of other rpg's out there?  There is absolutely nothing unique about it, that is why i find it boring.  People bitch at NSMBWii as 1980's design, ME2 is 1990's design.
