DCK Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Tough question, no? Yeah, I know, too early to ask. But I'm just wondering, which do you think is the best idea, the DS or the Revolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1cubeplayer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I would say the Revolution is better. The DS brought (and is bringing) new forms of gameplay, but Nintendo is pioneering their own technology with the Revolution. They're both awesome though.

MunKy Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Based on what Ive seen I think the revolution idea is better. I have a DS and the games dont use it as much as they should. The DS being a handheld means it is also limited. Revolution is in my opinion something that should have been done this generation. Gaming is dying and Nintendo have given the breath of life.

#1cubeplayer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 ...For the second time. Gaming was dead before the NES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorrit Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 The was a rather unique idea, but a small step, nothing *that* big, but it matters nontheless. The Revolution is much bigger IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1upking Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 to be honest I'm not totally sold on the revo yet. The appeal of the DS was more instant for me, but maybe thats because we had game demo's, and as yet we have seen no revo demos. I'm confident Nintendo will have the games to back it up, its 3rd parties I worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Revolution just seems awesome. I would have to say Revolution, using the controller as a sword is like a dream come true, the Revolution makes it legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Without a doubt in my mind.. Revolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal_9Million Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I can't decide between the two, though I believe that Revolution will have a better start than DS had. Most of the DS games up until now have been dire ports. But now it's finally getting back on it's feet. Revolution will have excellent games from realease (hopefully). Among the list of release games is going to be Mario Rev, Super Smash Bros Rev, Metroid Prime 3. Maybe MP3 won't be available for luanch, but two of those 3 games is good enough. And being a home console, it's likely to have more 3rd party support too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Dalco* Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Revo for me. I love the DS. also i'm seeing that it as a beta console for nintendo to see how the gaming world took to innovation to make sure they were going in the right way with the Revo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeLee Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I see the DS touch screen and revolution controller as quite simular. The touch screen is interacting with the games in a 2D way (up and down, left and right touching), the revolution is essentially 3D interaction (up down, left right, but also pulling it back and forth). Between the revolution and DS, the DS currently has me more exciting, but thats because we are verging on best of the DS (online soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Personally, i think the two work hand in hand. It's also back to my "big brother" rant about the Revolution following off where the DS started. Which one is better? I really don't think there is a definite answer. I don't think my mind knows which one is better either. They both equally have good potential, and...i haven't tried the DS out yet, nevermind the Revolution!

Garden_Pigeon Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I prefer the compact, 2 screen DS. Im not saying I dont like the rev, because I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearacell Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Tough question, no? Yeah, I know, too early to ask. But I'm just wondering, which do you think is the best idea, the DS or the Revolution? Well, they both bring innovation to their respective areas...touchscreen on a portable and 3-d control on a home console. Idea-wise, I think they're equal. But the Revolution brings the potential of much more awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 At the moment I'm gonna say DS, but I'm sure once I got the Rev controlelr into my hands and am actually playing the games that will change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabui Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I think Revolution is more a focused thing, it seems like theres more of a chance of them making games and changing games to use all Revolution controller where they wuss out with DS and don't really want to poineer fully touch and microphone games. You don't see Madden with touch screen only interface or voice calling plays. Yet, I think at this point they might actually try to incorperate it and change the way we play games. Least, thats the hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I think the touch screen idea is harder to use because some games are simply not suited for it (i.e. Mario Kart) but the gyros are basically just a better joystick replacement developers and gamers can get used to very quickly. But I think both methods can't be compared directly still I believe the Revo controller is the better invention because it offers more possibilties in terms of controls.
