NGP vs 3DS

[FamicomRetroGamer]

These two portable consoles will be very competitive, but as it seems PSP 2 will be ahead because it has two thumbsticks instead of just one, this is very needed for action adventure/fps and other genre games.

3DS has 3D-effect but I'm not into it, I'm rather interested in the games.

If Sony fails to deliver PSP 2 without a physical disc drive for PSP 2 games, they can forget about even releasing it to the market. PSPgo is a good example.

FPS games are not my favourite but playing them on a portable console with two thumbsticks sure is entertaining, and online even better!

Sony's supposed to announce PSP 2 this week, day 27 of January 2011, lets hope so.

Oh and, I hope all 3DS/PSP2 fanboys will die cause there's enough as it is for games and consoles already. Fanboys suck!

3DS! All the way! for me!

I already have a PSP slim, which I use mostly for music. There are only a few worth getting for the PSP alone, so I doubt the PSP2 will be any better.

I'm looking more forward to the 3DS.  Is there really anything that new or interesting about the PSP2 that would make it stand out, besides the two analog sticks?  Even though it will have two analog sticks, I have always hated FPSes on portable systems, and I don't think I can see myself spending however much money they cost on one just for that extra analog stick. And to go along what you said about the lack of a disk drive (if that does turn out to be true), Sony should've seen their mistake with the PSPgo.

My money's going towards the 3DS.

If it came out a KillZone 3 Portable Edition for PSP 2, oh my god, I would go crazy!

The series is epic, it's actually the only FPS I really like, Gears is good too but that's TPS and GTA IV (TPS).

I'd rather have the 3DS. Personally, I believe portable games should be simple and fun, like what you can find on Nintendo systems. Games with higher graphics and complicated gameplay should be kept on the TV screen. That's just my opinion however.

im leaning toward the 3DS like most of us hear, not only is it cheaper than the PSP2 but i want it for the fighting, racing, and nintendo franchised games.

PSP 2 will also have those genres and et cetera, about the price it's still unknown.

It could reach 250$ or 300$ but as always, consoles decrease their price as time passes by.

Normally I would say 3DS, but, and I think I'm not alone here, no one really wants the 3DS for it's 3D ability.

The last two years of PSP has actually been very impressive..  I was battling the idea buying a GO and ultimately decided against it since Sony isn't even supporting it in North America.


But yeah, PSP is actually incredibly popular here in Japan..  If Sony can keep developer's interest and immediately transition it to PSP2, I actually might consider getting that over a 3DS.

I don't know that a download-only option for the PSP2 would necessarily be as big a problem as it was on the PSPGo.  I think the big issue with the PSPGo was that you couldn't use your existing PSP games.  What's the point of upgrading if it obsoletes your entire game library?  

If the PSP2 were all-download from the start then it wouldn't have quite the same negative feedback since you'd only lose backwards compatibility (if the PSP2 even promises that, I don't really know).

I know with my DSi, I've definitely spent more time playing DSiWare games that I've downloaded rather than proper cartridge games.  They're cheaper and it's way more convenient to have a dozen or so games sitting there rather than having to swap carts.

I go for the NDS Lite....why so many changes I will never know..I also heard if you play the 3DS more than half an hour you get headaches or go  blind or something. The line up of games just feels weak too and don't let me get started with the PSP 2. Oh well that's just my opinion you don't have to listen to me...

[MS-DOS4]

I'll listen to ya.The 3D effect could strain the eyes. While it won't make you go blind, I'm sure it will have an adverse effect on your eyes after a while. That's why they put in the 3d slider so you can control how deep you want your 3d experience to be. If I understand correctly, you can even turn the effect completely off for games, thus saving your eyes. To me, the line up of games sounds great. I'll be most happy to finally play Ocarina of Time for the first time. I never owned it as a child for some reason, and I never wanted to use an emulator.

I hope it's really that great of a game like everyone says. But perhaps it's everybody's combined nostalgia that's making the game out to be more than what it actually is?

3DS right now seems like a better deal, also if Sony flops by not having a physical driver for its PSP 2 games, they can forget about the clients.

I like to see, feel, touch the games/media I buy, digital is just empty.

This time it's not only nostalgia. The game is actually awesome. 

[cubelmariomadness]

Really? I've played it and to me it just seems like....an average game. Sure it's pretty depthy and interesting, but not the greatest game ever.

[manuel]

If that's an average game I'd love to know what's a good or great game in your opinion.
What's average about OoT? It has a fantastic control scheme, a big overworld, good boss fights, great puzzles... I can't think of anything really negative.

Of course there's always personal taste. If you just happen not to like it, then there's nothing that can be said about it.
