"If you recently sold your DS Lite and bought a DSi, sorry pal, you're a sucker!"
Don't get mad at me (Alex Shaw of P*N), get mad at Nintendo. They promised you an upgrade. The ability to buy brand new mini games and a sleek form-factor with a slightly bigger screen. All they took was that useless old GBA slot that was taking up so much room. Unfortunately for you, that means you traded the best SNES games and frankly some of the best handheld games for Mario Clock, Mario Calculator and the ability to buy small, or "express" portions of other games. On consoles we call these demos and don't pay for them. It was, in effect, a downgrade.
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
I think I will keep my psp.
Yay! Lets ignore Mighty Flip Champs, Mario vs Donkey Kong Minis March Again, the Art Style Series, Real Football 2009, Pop Superstar, Asphalt 4, Dr Mario for the sake of argument.
Seriously, a lot of the updates have been terra-bad but it's already got a decent selection of quality titles and a lot more coming in the future.
I hardly ever used the GBA slot. This is a moot point to many or even most DS/DSi owners. There are a few games worth the cash for DSi download. I am always on the go, so cheap, quick DSi games are perfect for me. I already have 3 so called "apps" for the DSi:
Mario Vs Donkey Kong: March of the Mini's
Art Style: Pictobits
Art Style: Aquia
Each game is great in its own right and perfect for passing time.
Mario Calculator, clock, screen saver, etc I'm not all that interested in. I'll take the good apps and everyone else can complain about the bad ones. If there is a feature that notably blows for the DSi I would point out the web browser. Its not even worth the effort. Ditto with the music player. A PSP it is not. There is plenty of good things about the new DS. The camera is low rez but a lot of fun; likewise with the voice recorder. Expanded wireless security protocols are also welcome additions (too bad its not retro active).
Doctor Mario is also good.
I find it frustrating that so many article whine about the DSi not having a GBA port. Choice is good. Pointing out the obvious is too easy...try again.
Right so i suppose the improved speakers/microphone (hardware + software) isnt an improvement over the DS Lite. Hmm let me see, oh thats right, the improved brightness im sure is nothing. How is the touchscreen software of your DS Lite ? Better than the DSi?
Look if you really want to play GBA games then get a friggen GBA and stop using the DSi. Its that simple. Otherwise get an emulator and play it on a portable computer or PC.
Lets be frank. In my case i bought the DSi to play DS Games , not GBA games or snes games. Truth be told, they are porting some of the old GBA/SNES games to DSi/DS Lite but when that happens ill just not buy it and emulate it on my DSi.
In the end, its your decision.
