NGP vs 3DS

[jpx72]

I would compare the 3D zelda (OoT, MM) to Tomb Raider series. I loved TR from the beginning, and I didn't knew about Zelda for a long time. Now I'm playing OoT on my N64 and I know how to play because it's so simillar to TR in so many cases... I think that I would have loved Zelda more if I found it before TR. But that definatelly should have happened in "the days"...like 10-15 years ago. With so many different games nowadays, it's difficult to judge the game now. You definatelly need the "retro-approach" on this one.

I plan to buy both. Dey betta be good!

[FamicomFreak]

Do your research first or you might loose an eye lol jk

[satoshi_matrix]

Same as before, I plan to eventually buy both, but neither right away.

Wow.. PSP2 (now known as NGP) is HOT.  And I'm reeeally happy it plays digital versions of PSP games, cause I'm been looking to get Peace Walker and maybe the new Monster Hunter when it becomes available.

I might suspend my need for a 3DS for this... it all depends on what happens in the next couple months..

It's kinda unfair comparing NGP to 3DS, since NGP is one step ahead on gaming.

NGP has 2 analogue sticks and 3DS only one.

3DS has 3D-effect but to be honest that doesn't even matter to me because gaming was never about being able to play in 3D.

NGP is definitely my portable console choice.

Oh by the way, what the hell happened to Panasonic's console release?

To be frank, that sounds quite weird to me.
Having a second analogue stick doesn't make the games better automatically, just as having 3D doesn't make for better games.
Both machines will be in the same console "generation" and that's why it's OK to compare them in every way.
And if you're so focused on graphics, then obviously the more expensive machine will be suitable for you.

To me personally a 2nd analogue stick doesn't mean anything as I usually don't play/like games that use the 2nd one.

Wow the NGP can run full PS3 games?!? I didn't have an opinion before, but the 3DS looks pretty weak in comparison now.

3DS uses PS2/Wii alike graphics, Nintendo doesn't seem to focus on its best performance at all, while Sony does.

NGP was really impressive since the first time I saw it.

The same could be said of the Gameboy vs the Game Gear and of the DS vs the PSP.  Nintendo's handhelds are regularly underpowered yet always crush the competition.  Go figure.

Wii sold more and so did DS, but hardcore gamers aren't going with those consoles, because they want powerful and gamers that are made for their genres.

Nintendo's selling basically for the casual market so no wonder they sell more than Sony and Microsoft.

You say this like it's a fact.  As far as portable consoles go, I don't think one is any more "hardcore" than the other.  I think it just depends on what kind of games you're interested in.  The launch titles for the 3DS look really fun to me, and I definitely do not consider myself to be a casual gamer.

[manuel]

Well, then I've been a casual gamer for 25 years without even knowing... And I thought I could be "hardcore" with over 20 consoles and over 500 games owned... 

[nensondubois]

I'm not a casual gamer at all, nor a hardcore gamer, I just like what I like. The 3DS looks to be something that I will most certainly be interested in, and am especially anticipating the 3DS Virtual Pocket Console (or whatever it is called).  (I think I'm addicted to these new smiley's, or maybe they just fit the situation)

[Jedi Master Baiter]

None of this matters to me - it's not like I play anything that has come out since 2007 (except Brawl).

It's not that I like older games better, it's just that I can't keep up anymore.

At this rate, I'll get either a PSP or 3DS in 2030!
