DualShockers writes, "A couple of episodes back we spoke about why we thought the PSP wouldn’t survive passed 2011. Since then it seems as though there has been an influx in the number of PSP2 and 3Ds prediction articles. With that in mind this week we’ve decided to discuss what do people really want from a handheld? Is it all about cutting edge visuals and media capabilities A.K.A. the Sony way. Or is all about mass appeal and broader audience which is what Nintendo is all about. With the announcement of Hulu Plus and an early preview of the service being tried out by select PSN plus subscribers we decided to put all of the streaming services under the microscope to discuss some pros and cons and what we would like to see happen with that delivery platform. These topics and more on this week’s show. Make sure to give it a listen as we have another great episode in the books!"
This image basically confirms that in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon we will be seeing an alternate story. While it has been stated by Nintendo multiple times that this was the case, they were never really clear on it.
Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.
Hey! Pikmin is brand new adventure set on the Nintendo 3DS as Captain Olimar's ship crash lands on a mysterious alien planet.
Every time I see 'released on Steam' my heart sinks. Why don't these guys release on GOG instead?
Beware Space Pirates. Beware Metroids. Samus Aran is back and she is locked & loaded.
I still think that two sticks is an important feature for any portable handheld but for some reason Nintendo and Sony haven't gotten around to it yet.
As for the streaming services, I totally stand by what I said in the podcast this week and think it's a great idea that the entertainment consoles of this gen need to tackle full force.
There is just something epic and hilarious about podcasting with the DualShockers crew that never gets old. Lots of laughs in this episode and we tell you like it is about anything that comes to mind.
This could take awhile...
Just because my expectations are too big... I want it to do a little bit of everything... I want it to play games, of course, watch movies also, but I also want to read PDF's on it, I want to have some apps, I need a camera, be able to shoot video...
Come to think of it I guess all those things I just said are what's in an iPhone.. go figure. -I guess that's why I never bought a hand held. What I really need is a really cool phone.. I just want it to do to many things..
Be my TV remote ( I bet there's an app for that)
I guess these smart phones have kinda spoiled some of us, unless of course you are just looking for a gaming machine.
If we could somehow take an iPhone and give it analog sticks with a d-pad and still make it look cool then that would be the perfect hand held...IMO
