Opinion: The year of the handheld

Why 2011’s portable platform battle will be unlike anything we’ve seen before.

no ... 3ds is not worth the money

Great point about the price of portable games. Love my DS and sortof wanted a PSP but never bought one mostly cause of the price of its games. That and it not having two sticks.

Somehow I expect portable games to have portable prices.. like the DS does. I certainly expect them to be lower than their console counterparts.

Just don't see ever paying over $40-$45 for a handheld game. How much will you pay?

share will be in the smartphone market because they know the smartphones are just as capable but they can sell their games cheaper because every one of the games is digital download, no packageing..and they can update an add digital content. it's more like the "steam" method of games distribution than inside a brick an mortar store.

i mean as an example:
ID soft

just look @ rage for the Iphone 4 as an example:

http://itunes.apple.com/app...

now look a Epic's game engine being made for mobile devices. pretty soon many 3rd party's are going to be making games for these platforms.

ESP. when you can add bluetooth controllers to an existing mobile smartphone. or the controls may already come to the device.

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.

MeteorPanda2409d ago

but...you customize your own characters now? l dont like that boys neck. holy shit it's about as strong as a twig

Antnee5342409d ago

I understand that, but if you pick a boy you get the worse choices.

MeteorPanda2409d ago

oh for sure. The franchise just shits on the male version more and more per new entry, lol

Antnee5342408d ago

It's so weird being that the player base is 70/30 male you know. You would think that they would give the males a better choice selection.

Every time I see 'released on Steam' my heart sinks. Why don't these guys release on GOG instead?
