I think it belongs in this forum. It's a video thing and it is hardware.
Here are my disappointments. It crashes. At least with Mario64DS it was a crash fest, crashing on me 6 times today. That's just unheardof. No jolt, no nothing, just when in sleep mode or when paused it would crash. Not all the time, but sometimes. It's still shocking coming from Nintendo.
Graphics for Mario64DS aren't all that great. I expected better filtering, not pixelated textures. I wouldn't even compare the graphics to a N64, more like a Playstation with cleaner textures and worse polygon count.
And the games... what... what games. These really crappy games, some ports from gameboy advance with cheap touch screen addons, some are just really stupid minigames that end in seconds, others just suck, and then there is mario64DS. Wow. great library.
Another annoying thing is the backwards compatability with only gameboy advance games. And only for the single player portion of it. IMO if you're not gonna fully impliment it, then just leave it out. I would've loved better poly count and better filtering instead of this retarded useless feature. That's why I have a gameboy advance!
I think the DS was rushed to get sales out and then Nintendo thought that the DS wasn't gonna be enough to battle the PSP, and now says that the DS isn't the successor to the gameboy. Cause I don't know where the DS fits in. Horrible game library.
On a off topic note, I think it's really stupid for consoles to have backwards compatability because you are paying for something you possibly (most likely for ps3) already have and that you might not even use. Wouldn't you rather have that money devoted to bettering the power of the new console or making the console cheaper instead of taking up space and money. But I might just be wrong, I also don't like that consoles are pushing a multimedia thing here. I would rather buy a gaming machine than, a DVD player, gaming machine, and computer. I already have two things there, I don't want to pay for them again. Especially if you're not gonna use them.
Sorry bout that lengthy off topic thing. I guess this could be a double topic?
