Fierce_LiNk Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm not a handheld gamer. So, your only experience of Pokemans! (Let me show you them) is from the home consoles? You've missed out, boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and not just the Pokemon series either, there are so many awesome and great DS titles on the DS system it's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 lol... I've only ever bought Gameboys for pokemon games, but now I'm not going to fork a £100 and something for DS just for pokemon. I'm just one of those people who don't have the time to deal with handhelds. When you're busy going about, and you've got a home console at home, handhelds just don't appeal to me. So NO! Indeed, and not just the Pokemon series either, there are so many awesome and great DS titles on the DS system it's incredible. May I ask... When do you play your DS? Are you a student? Or not in full time employment? I'm trying to decipher the target audience to handheld gaming. There's not enough hours in a day, to put in so much tine for games! o__O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough hours in a day, to put in so much tine for games! o__O It's tough balancing them. I go through phases where I play my DS (or the female's DS) and then I go through phases where I play the Wii. The two hardly ever overlap. It's really an impulse thing. "I'm going to play Super Mario Galaxy now." And then I do eet. To be honest though, handhelds are much cheaper than home consoles, there's less hassle with getting into the main game and you can play them wherever. When I want to play a Wii game, I've gotta go into my living room (making sure the telly isn't being used.) Turn it on, get the disc into the tray, then wait for that to load up. It just always seems quicker with a handheld for some reason. Plus, you can use it on your bed, living room, outside somewhere. If I had a busy lifestyle, I think a handheld would be much more of use to me than a Wii. I used my DS lots during my first year at uni, in halls. Then, in the second year, I bought a Wii for my house (when I moved in with the ex, who wasn't the ex at the time.) Then, moved into a different house, kept the Wii downstairs so everyone could use it, then used my DS in bed. Playing the DS on the train though with Ine is really fun, though. And, it's nice to play even if you only have a few spare minutes of time. When she had a tutorial recently at her Uni, I waited outside playing Tetris.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hmm, you do paint a good picture in regards to using handhelds. I think my frustration subconsciously comes from having to buy new batteries. Plus I love the whole surround sound, grande occasion in my nest sort of thing. But, I must admit you have tantilized my uh taste buds... I just need some pokemans! :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can really play it whenever/wherever, without having to do the whole set-up you have to do for a console game. Plus you can play in short bursts, which I feel I can't really do on the Wii. I don't have much time to game so the DS is perfect for me. I can just whip it out whenever I have a few minutes of free time and then play my game. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I must admit you have tantilized my uh taste buds... I just need some pokemans! :/ I'm very much the same as you. I like being able to sit back, look at the tv and control using something in my hands. I don't know why, but I didn't click with handhelds as quickly. I love the DS though, and I guess it's the first time (apart from the Pokemon games) where I've truly loved the handhelds. I played quite a few Gameboy and GBA games, but for some reason I wasn't hooked as much as console games. But, avec le Wii, you need batteries for that. Except I've got a funky little recharge thing, so I use that. But, having to charge the DS or that charger does suck. Plus, I sometimes get numb arms or hands if I'm sat in a funny position using my handheld. I like being able to lie down on my front and play a game like that, though. But after a while, I get cramp.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 LOL... oh DS doesn't use batteries? See just look how far removed I am from the whole scene. Hmm thanks Flinky, actually boosted my interest in the DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm thanks Flinky, actually boosted my interest in the DS. Ya, you just plug it in and recharge it. So, no need to piss around looking for batteries. Actually, why didn't the Wiimotes come like that? Would've been great. Yeees, the DS is really a great little system. You can quite easily build up a great collection of games, and there's a great library there. If you're having trouble with a busy lifestyle, then I think it would be worth looking into. I've only got a DS Big Arse Edition, so one day I want to get a DSi or a Lite or something. Then, carry that around with me for trains and stuff, since I spend half my life on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I work more then 12 hours in one day if they come almost together in the hours. I usually play the DS either at home, or during lunch break, just depends, usually read a book during lunch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I find I rarely ever play DS games anymore. Although, when something I'm interested in comes out, I'll get right back to it. I suppose Spirit Tracks is coming out soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
