Nintendo DS is overrated.

Almost every single "must have" for the ds is some average over hyped Japa game hyped by the interwebs that has been done better 1000 x before these game's release.

The next time an overhyped DS game comes out I'll completely ignore it because the disappointment came over way too many times:

Mega Man ZX - "OMG OMG BEST MEGAMAN EVER" and it's like barely above Mega Man X6 and X7 quality.

Hotel Dusk - "OMG OMG BEST DS ADVENTURE GAME!!" and it's completely average and feels like it was made by complete adventure gaming nubs. "BUT THE STORY IS AWESOME!!" the story is balls. The people who translated the thing are more talented than the people who wrote the game.

Contact - "OMG OMG SUDA 51!!" I like Killer 7 and all but Contact is meh. It's not that good at all, in fact, it's friggin boring.

Phoenix Wright 1 and 2 - "OMG OMG AMAZING ADVENTURE GAMES!!" I love these games myself, and even I'll admit they're average when it comes to adventure games.

New Super Mario Brso. - "OMG OMG NEW MARIO!!!" and it's completely average, and topped by the absolutely superior Kirby's Canvas Curse and Yoshi's Island 2. Funnily enough, people were saying how YI2 was going to suck and it ended up being the tits.

I could go on and on how almost every single "must have" ds title is an overated lump of fecal matter, but that would take a long ass time to do.

I played more gba games on my ds than ds games. Mega Man Zero 2

Why do people treat the DS like it's ps2 level of awesome? It's a decent machine with a lot of support, but the quality:quantity ratio is out of whack on the ds. I am going to assume this is because I'm not a portable gamer or something?

X6 and X7. At least X6 and X7 are action platformers and not run and gun. At least they don't try to be Metroidvania's when that set up SUCKS for Mega Man.

I'm going to add another one:

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - "OmG OMG BEST METROIDVANIA!!" I don't get this at all. This game is basically the most regurgitated Metroidvania. It's basically AoS 1.2, lacks little if any notable new editions, and is a down grade on almost every level. People at gaf say that DoS is better than the absolutely awesome Portrait of Ruin which is an evolution in almost every regard, and I don't get it at all.

Vizzys · « **Reply #4 on:** April 21, 2007, 05:42:06 PM »

Ok I misread, forgive me. X8 was... a travesty. X6 was decent.

ZX = Zero+X series so I'm happy and I await the sequel.

There's nothing wrong with Megaman ZX besides the crappy map system.

PW1+2 are fun for people who never or hardly played adventure games before. (i.e. most console only gamers)

I'll never understand the hate for NSMB. I liked it more than Kirby.

I haven't played Hotel Dusk yet, but I want it. I never cared too much for Contact.

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2007, 06:05:30 PM »

Contact isn't a title that screamed "must-have" nor "hype"

You fucking dumbass. PS2 is awesome no matter what genre, aside from the dead genres like adventure, puzzle, beat em up, and shmup (unless you're willing to import).

Don't bring that shit in here.

No I didn't, but they have to be better than the gamecube. Atari 2600 certainly didn't have 6 month gaps in between games.

I bought a Wii for fucking Zelda. I'm a sucker for Zelda.

I sure do believe it. SNES isn't that great aside from a few games, and Genesis was always better, at least imo. I like the more action packed games on Genesis to the games on SNES aside from a few (Mario World, Yoshi's Island, LttP, FFIV, VI, and CT).

And N64 sucks balls.

Vectorman is cool and all, but not that good. If you were to say Comix Zone or Warsong I'd agree with you but hell fucking no.

Good decision. PS1 has the most craptastic 3d graphics ever. People who thought that GT1/GT2 were beautiful games need to go see an opthalmologist. N64 games didn't look that great either but they were bearable. It was hard to go back to console games back then after you've played PC games with 1st gen 3d videocards.
