Play Nintendo DS Online
Saturday, Dec. 4 2004 | Author: derekXLink Kai, the people that brought online play to the Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2, have already partially got internet tunneling working for the Nintendo DS. It’s in the very beginning stages at the moment so it’s not something that just anyone can do, but it looks like it will be possible, even if Nintendo never implements online play themselves.

1Everything I read about the DS makes me wonder if it should be the next thing I save up for. Despite my lack of fundage >.Everything I read about the DS makes me wonder if it should be the next thing I save up for. Despite my lack of fundage >.<

2The Nintendo DS is going to be the best thing ever, but it would be even better if you could play games on-line, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
December 26th, 2004 at 3:15 pm
3I just got the DS and it is amazing Good choice!

very very gay

6LISTEN, i was just like the majority of you, bought a DS, thought it was awsome, thought NINTENDO might have the balls to push this thing like no tommarrow (because, well, goddamnit, nintendo is dead almost) so i though they would bounce back with this, but no, nintendo fucks up again, and i hate them, do yourselfs all a favor, wait and spend the extra 100 dollars.

7Hey y’all. i just wanna know when & where i can play my DS online so i can school the entire world in Metroid Prime Hunters.
April 5th, 2005 at 3:12 pm
8Psp is way better, i got fucked over buying the ds, yoshi touch and go is pointless and was a waste of money…, Mario was fun but got old fast , and Metroid Prime Hunters will suck cuz of the controls and the graphics.
April 6th, 2005 at 11:10 pm
9you guys are retarded dont wate ur money on gay psp, trust me DS will be comming out with things that will blow PSP away!
April 8th, 2005 at 6:41 pm
10Well, does anyone know for sure that the DS will have online play? I’ve heard that Hunters will have online play, but I haven’t heard anything for sure.
April 8th, 2005 at 10:13 pm
11the only thing the psp has that is better than the DS is the graphics. DS is gonna come out with some awesome games like mariokart ONLINE!! which is gonna be sweet. And because of the touch screen it has the capability to play RTS games that are fun. Age of Empires: Age of kings will come out for it later this year. and i have looked at other games that will be online, and more RTS games are coming out.
April 9th, 2005 at 1:03 pm
12PSP sucks!!!!!!!!! the ds rocks nothings better than the ds.
April 9th, 2005 at 7:37 pm
13The nintendo DS does and will go online with the use of wireless technology. Making it possible to play multiplayer games around the world. I’m not sure about pictochat, but I’m sure they got that in there too.
Oh yeah the DS has a microphone in it.Does the PSP?Noooooooo freakin idiot!God!
April 10th, 2005 at 8:53 am
14the ds is the baddest got one the other day an think that if they get it online then it will be the start of something big for nintendo. they used to make the best consoles by far with the super nintendo and n64. they rocked the charts and now i think its the nintendo ds’s time to shine
April 10th, 2005 at 5:19 pm
15the nintendo DS RULZ!!!!!!!
ive played psp and the only thing that is cool about it is the fact that you can put music on there. Its too big to keep in your pocket so what are you going to do with the music. the pictures that you can put on there was the stupidest idea by SONY. Sony is a bunch of bitches that copy and steal everything that nintendo does.
DS was a good investment
April 14th, 2005 at 7:29 am
16sony sucks balls.
April 15th, 2005 at 2:48 pm
17More than likely your going to see that the DS is going to become like the virtual boy (donât say that God doesnât makes mistakes ). I myself have a DS and Iâm disappointed with it extremely because of the lack of games that actually take advantage of the touch screen - cross plat forming doesnât count . Iâve played the PSP, and, dead pixels aside, it is very cool. Not to mention the ability to save whole games onto memory disc to sample them (you know like the DS). Both consoles are great but with everything Iâve seen (despite how fucking bad ass the DS concept .. .. CONSEPT ⊠is) the PSP , unfortunately, is going to win this battle. . . . Oh - forgot to mention next generation Nintendo game systems may just use the touch screen on it controllers. I.e. works alright as a handheld - will rock as a full blown system.- One last thing - has anyone figured out that you can program your own games - then with wi-fi play them on your DS - ….. figure it out
April 21st, 2005 at 4:37 pm
18I think nintendo either released the DS too early or was just plain desperate and didn’t have the time to put out much more than sad cheap games and ports. BUT if all of you wise up and WAIT for a little while, DS will SWEEP SONY OFF OF ITS FEET!!!! Sony will FALL!!!! Do yourself a favor. Keep your DS and sell your old gameboy advance, so all the sad PSP owners who blew all of their money on the system itself can have something to play. Have pity. Show mercy. They’re gamers too, just not so smart.
April 26th, 2005 at 12:53 am
19……….i never thought so many people would find something so gay and pointless as fun.
WOW 2 SCREENS!
WOW TOUCH SCREEN!
…wow! a stylus! fun!!!!!
……………why 2 screens? why touch screen? its pointless and dumb………..
ds doesn’t deserve be in existence.
lol, and nintendo is dead……..always was.
the ds is nothing, and its games are nothing either.
April 26th, 2005 at 3:58 am
20….viciouse vic,2answer ur questions on y nintendo created 2screens,a touch screen n ‘a stylus fun’(wat ever you meann-_-’) , it is bcoz nintendo do has originality,if the brand was ‘PsP’ den u wouldnt b sayn shit lyk wat u say..lol

22All of you who think Nintendo was killed by the Ds… You’re wrong. Sony is getting owned in the video game market now that the Xbox has GTA and every game that PS2 has except for Grand Turismo. Sony’s next-gen console will have the worst graphics of the three and the DS has sold 3,000,000 copies!!!! PSP has sold only 600,000. you think psp can beat something that has outsold the ipod?
April 30th, 2005 at 1:41 pm
23this is my opionion, but i think ds is gonna kill the psp. just think about it:
psp: exacly like a game boy advane
ds: duel screens, touch screen, wireless conecting, pictochat, easily portible, everything.
ds is gonna KILL sony. anyone who bought psp is gonna be sorry they wasted their money.
April 30th, 2005 at 1:53 pm
24go to nasdaq.com and search it. nintendo is KILLING sony. sony will DIE. DOWN WITH SONY!
May 1st, 2005 at 2:14 am
25When i bought my ds, it was the greatest investment i ever did, but then i heard of the other portable machines graphic which is the psp, which is close to ps2. i thought about selling my ds over psp that plays music,movies,etc. The final thought were to stick with the DS, be patient and wait for the online gaming which will be late this year. It be awesome playing your mario ds and Metroid and the new goldeneye:rs online against people around the world. If nintendo keeps this up the DS will kill the crap out of psp.
May 2nd, 2005 at 1:33 am
26I got off the phone with Nintendo and they said that they were working on something for picto chat. I dont think the ds will be able to play music and movies like the psp. We can wait and see.
May 2nd, 2005 at 5:24 am
27the ds can play movies and music if you use this thing calleg a play chan.
May 4th, 2005 at 2:06 am
28Yeah good call guys, too bad I can play my PSP online RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. I have a DS, and there are NO GOOD GAMES FOR IT, IT IS A TOOL, A WASTE OF MONEY, I drove 50miles to get it and spent 150$ the day after it came out, and it is a WASTE. Buy it when its 75$ and Animal Crossing and Metroid are out. Until then, the DS is the modern day Virtual Boy.
May 7th, 2005 at 11:29 pm
29Why argue about what system is going to be better, honestly, both systems have their strong points and their weak points. The PSP’s battery life sucks ass, unless you want to pay $130 for a battery that lasts 5 hours, and $80 for a memory card that is more than 32 MB. The DS’s online play is available but no games have been released for it… why don’t you all wait, and see about which system “kicks the other one’s ass”
May 10th, 2005 at 1:41 am
30the psp is so gay it suck my dick today.the ds is fucking cool
May 10th, 2005 at 9:02 am
31Why the PSP wipes the floor with the DS:
1)It looks much sleaker and more sophisticated rather than looking like some child’s toy
2)The games are graphically better to an eye-popping degree. They’re generally much more entertaining to play as well.
3)It has the functionality to play music and movie files, hence it has much more versatility and is a kick-ass media center in comparison.
The DS is a primitive pile of puke with games that boast graphics marginally better than a Game Boy Advance. Piddly little accessories and two screens that barely exceed the dimensions of a PSP’s screen when put together won’t excuse it from being crap. Anyone who despises the PSP is just bitter that they can’t afford such an ingenious gadget that’s in a class of its own.
P4WN3D!!!!

32Look easy as this PSP can suck my 3 foot long …..never mind DS RULZ!BIG TIME! Oh yes and if you want to discuss this furhter come to my gaming forums alot better than this

33Just so everyone knows, in september (i think thats when), Animal Crossing DS will be coming to DS. Animal Crossing DS will feature wi-fi connectivity meaning that you can put 4 people in the same village at the same time. And if thats not good enough, Everyone will be able to talk to each other through animal crossing and possibly pict-chat. DS will blow Sony AWAY!!!!!!!
May 15th, 2005 at 3:23 am
34PSP All the way man…
I myself was a devout Nintendo fan who thought that there was nothing else better than their great company. I denied Microsoft and Sony, and stayed curled up in my extremely small world of Nintendo. Then I saw the light… I ditched my POS gamecube (which is so cheaply priced for a reason) and converted to better game consoles. The PSP is the perfect machine. I hear all of you whining about how retarded it is to put pictures on it etc. but that feature is actually very useful. I have several episodes of Red vs. Blue, video clips from when I travel, pictures of all my friends, and still have room for about 25 mp3s. All Im saying is atleast sony takes advantage of all the PSP’s capabilities (unlike the DS). The screen is extremely clear, you can buy dvd’s for them (or if you are cheap, burn your own, and compress them with some program, then convert to mp4).. All that, and I haven’t said anything about the games. Holy Crap, they are sweet. Its like having a PS2 in your hands. The cosole itself is sleek and comfortable, (another aspect the DS lacks) I mean god, when you open up the DS, its a frickin laptop.
So anyways, I love the psp, but I don’t have anything against the DS because I believe you get what you pay for.
May 17th, 2005 at 8:33 am
35I’ve yet to play the PSP, And all you dicksuckers who are like “SONY SUX NINENTO RULZ LOLOLO!!1!” And “NINTENOP SUX0R GET PSPL OLZ” should honestly shut the fuck up and find a better way to spend your time than making a jackass of yourself.
Anyway, The DS has been alot of fun for me. I only have two games and the metroid prime demo. And yes, Its getting boring. Honestly. I played Mario 64 enough 5 years ago, The Metroid Prime demo is only fun oh so many times. And sprung really isn’t anything special. I haven’t met a single other person with a DS to play with, And so far have met three people with a PSP. Two of them would probably sell it to me for 5$ (They HATE it. O_o) and the other can’t stop Ogling the graphics.
Still, It would be nice to be listening to songs off my DS when i’m not playing it. The PSP is currently alot better than the DS. But since I have no money left to buy one, I’m gonna be patient for the awesome DS online play. Besides, I can still play Advance Wars or Metroid Fusion when I get bored of my other games.
Did anyone know that the PSP’s memory stick can be hacked and used as an Emulator?? Fucking awesome.
PS: DS can go online out of the box too Jackass. And you where foolish to expect it was gonna be God-In-A-Box. Read the reviews first idiot.

37All of you fanboys shut the fuck up and listen to my plan:
Okay we’ll pitch in on ebay for a time machine. We’ll travel to the future till DS Online is up. We’ll pictochat the plan for games; first some wipeout pure multiplayer (PSP) then some good old Halo 2! Then we’ll travel farther in time till Xbox 360 is out them some kick ass online. (no I’m not a fanboy) Oh yeah Clark There is no online shut the fuck up and danny you’ll pretty much calling yourself a geek :) Yes I own a PSP and A DS! Yeah and lets steal a PS3 and a revoloution! Feel free to flame I’m not comeing back to this bloody gore fest of a board!

May 26th, 2005 at 12:39 am
39All hail the mighty muffin.
But seriously all you fanboys stfu. You guys act like you are 6 years old and all you do is play video games.
Personaly I like the DS more because of its touch screen. (and that it is $100 cheaper and in my mind just as good). Also it has much better graphics than game boy advance.
But The PSP is great to but I feel that if you say that the PSP is great because it plays music. Which is great and all but it costs another 100 dollars for half a gig. To equal the mem of my Ipod on my desk next to my DS that would cost um… 4000 dollars for 20 gigs using 512 mb flash drives.
“The DS is a primitive pile of puke with games that boast graphics marginally better than a Game Boy Advance. Piddly little accessories and two screens that barely exceed the dimensions of a PSP’s screen when put together won’t excuse it from being crap. Anyone who despises the PSP is just bitter that they can’t afford such an ingenious gadget that’s in a class of its own.”
So you are saying that the DS sucks and that the PSP is great because it has a big screen.
Lets put our hands togther for Mr. Truthful who just made a complete ass out of himself.
May 28th, 2005 at 6:18 pm
40DS will have over 200 games (212 exactly) by the end of this year. psp has 20 now, I doubt they will even reach fifty by next year.
DS has sold over 5 million. psp, not even half that and it came out only a week later in Japan.
A DS game (nintendo dogs) is the top seller in Japan. what about psp…no one knows
Nintendo dead? That kind of hard to imagine concidering they own 62 percent of the market. Sure sony sold more consoles, but who do you think made more profit?
well look at the facts. playstation and xbox has a lot of third parties and more games than gamecube. Gamecube games are mostly first party.
Gamecube was able to survive another round againt ps and xbox and also make another console with free online, gyro controller, and Nintendo DS. Usually if a console is dead this wouldn’t be possible. Obviously someone is spreading lies ***caugh ps and xbox caugh***
oh by the way DS will have a rumble feature for it games. Sorry psp,but you are just old technology, your fate is sealed hah ahahahahaa.
June 1st, 2005 at 1:22 pm
41Yep I agree with him ^^^ after reading what he has to say then any psp fanboys and ds fanboys stop fighting and bitching because he’s made the biggest point and most clear point as well as i have a ds and its great so far
June 2nd, 2005 at 4:47 pm
42notice most of the ppl bad mouthing ds are the only ones bad mouthing, showing they are stuborn and only sway one way… whats wrong with having a ds and a psp…. i mean one you get to watch costem lil dvds on a lil screen, the other you get to play games that have an entire new game play..
personal opinion.. most things on psp i can do with other things, and better(like watching dvds on my big screen), but nothing else can do what the ds can..
June 4th, 2005 at 10:08 am
43Alright.I am writing to state that everyone hear has put up good arguements, but I have to side with my DS on this one. Don’t get me wrong, I think the PSP is a pretty cool gaming platform, but nothing can exceed the critical thinking of the DS. I mean think about it: DUAL SCREENS. What other gaming platform can produce such a high quality in gaming. Alright, all you PSP junkies have a point. The graphics are better, but I’m not paying $300 just to watch some movie, play music, and get better graphics. That is what a dvd player, iPOD, and a gameboy are for, and those things put together are still CHEAPER. And I can afford it, Mr.Truthful, but some people like to use their money wisely. Another thing about the DS. If you have ever heard one, THE SOUND IS GREAT. I highly doubt the sound on a PSP can get better than that, because Mario sounds like really birds are flying around you. Where is the mic on the PSP? No where. A DS has one, and in the future, imagine telling your games what to do. Battery life is horrible on a PSP, my friend has one, and personally, I thought it was very sleek looking. But it does not matter if something looks sleek, it matters what a system can deliver, and I like my DS just they way it is. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
June 4th, 2005 at 10:21 am
44EVERYONE, LET’S RAISE A HAND FOR MR. TRUTHFUL, THE DUDE WHO SAID THAT WHOEVER DIDN’T BUY THE PSP IS A POOR DUDE WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT. “Anyone who depises the PSP is just bitter that they can’t afford such an ingenious gadget that is in a class on it’s own”
WOW, WHAT A DUMBASS! Hey, assclown, maybe your the poor ignorant dude that just hides behind his friend’s PSP saying he owns it, then brown bags the platform after it bombs, and makes an ass out of himself trying to convert. Next time,when you right a comment, please make it so we don’t have to read your 3rd Grade writing style, and listen to you bagging on people who don’t have the PSP. Dude, lighten up! It’s a godamn PSP. “Ingenious gadget” DO YOU ACTUALLY SIT THEIR AND EXAMINE THE THING? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON’T EVEN PLAY IT, JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE NOTES. Alright, once and for all. Don’t be like this retard and start bagging on people who don’t have a piece of plastic like this. And lighten up. I haven’t seen people this wound up since the Pokeman craze.
June 5th, 2005 at 9:08 pm
45Well i think ds is beter, well theres music on psp but there is a thing called play chan for nintendo ds. it allows you to play music just like psp. Also there is online comming out sometine around september. This is just my opinion and im sure you have yours. But what i would really like to no is where i could get play chan and what time online gamming is comming out if im wrong. One last thing, who really cares what system is better then which.
June 9th, 2005 at 2:10 pm
46Guys, I hate to break it to you all but the Nintendo DS isn’t Nintendo’s new handheld. It’s a different type. They wanted to have three types of consoles. Home, hand-held and the DS. PSP = hand-held. Compare the SP and PSP.
Who wins?
PSP. Because nintendo has not had a chance to get thier new handheld out onto the market yet. The PSP has nothing to stop it in it’s catagory.
June 10th, 2005 at 12:49 pm
47Hey wuts up i hhope u guys get 2 my comment cause i skipped the last 10 i was thinking about selling my ds but im probly going to sell my game cube if i get a good enough price. online game play sounds awsome and the fact that is free is even better. i love my x box cause of the grafics and online play. FUck xony the are all fucking dorks with all the final fantyisey or wut erver it is called i cant wait tell the x box 360.

June 10th, 2005 at 3:52 pm
48FUCK YOU, FINAL FANTASY IS THE GREATEST SERIES OF ALL TIMES! XBOX HAS ONLY 2 GOOD GAMES! SONY HAS 100′S!
June 14th, 2005 at 9:36 pm
49ds is ausume the psp can kiss the fatest part of my ass
June 15th, 2005 at 12:37 pm
50Imageine being able to talk to others through your ds while playing on line across the world. Thats what the ds can do. There is also a cheap add on called the play yan which lets the ds play movies, music etc. What good is a psp if the battery dies after just watching one movie?
The ds also has virtual surround sound
June 16th, 2005 at 1:05 am
51#42 is a fucking genius actually I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING EXACTLY LIKE THAT look at it
June 16th, 2005 at 1:20 am
52and to add to that beautiful set of statements (check out $24 and 25, my other comments as chessmaster), i would like to point out Mr. Truthfuls OTHER flaws (including the ones that #42 pointed out:
“1)It looks much sleaker and more sophisticated rather than looking like some child’s toy” -HE SAID THIS
IS THIS NOT A HIGHLY OPINIONATED, SUBJECTIVE STATEMENT THAT IS IRREVALENT TO HIS POINT THAT THE PSP IS BETTER THAN THE DS (WHICH IS WRONG)
“2)The games are graphically better to an eye-popping degree. They’re generally much more entertaining to play as well.” -HIM AGAIN….(SIGH) HOW DO YOU JUDGE HOW ‘ENTERTAINING’ A GAME IS YOU IDIOTIC FOOL!!!
“3)It has the functionality to play music and movie files, hence it has much more versatility and is a kick-ass media center in comparison.” -HE FINISHES WITH HIS WORST REMARK OF ALL……FIRST OF ALL, THAT DOESN’T MATTER, AND SECOND YOU CAN GET A $89 KIT FOR DS OR GBA THAT LETS YOU WATCH MOVIES, TV, ANDLISTEN TO MUSIC….WHAT IS VERSATILITY?
MY POINT IS HIS ARGUMENT DOESNT MAKE SENSE, GET A DS, SELL YOUR GBA TO THE PSP OWNER WHO FINDS OUT THAT SONY’S BEST ENGLISH GAME FOR THE PSP IS ‘APE ESCAPE’ AND A (SIGH) FOR MR ‘TRUTHFUL’ AND ALL THE OTHER psp FANS
June 18th, 2005 at 12:54 am
53For those of you who want some psp capibility on your ds buy the gameboy advance video player.(it works on both ds and game boy advance) It allows you to play movies of all types of formats, mp3s,ebooks, and load pictures on your ds for (for whatever reason you might want to do that.It requires a flash media card to store the data. and when you convert the movie files they will be smaller in size than the psp’s, because the psp’s srceen is bigger and requires more visual space. As for the on going argument about the psp and the ds……………they both rock. It does not matter which one is better becuase at the end of the day your going to buy and play whichever system you want. so really all the arguing is pointless. Nintendo has always been kown for thier innovation and creativity, and that should not be taken likely.
June 18th, 2005 at 1:02 am
54oh and it only cost $25 dollars. And when you add in the 512Mb flsh media card. all together it is only about $50.00. So DS(with video player)is $200.00 and psp is 250.00. all depends on what you want and what suits your needs.
June 18th, 2005 at 1:09 am
55As fo rthe online aspect. The ds will bve going on line sometime this year via wireless. Find a wireless hot spot and your are in. are you can use a wireless router right at home and connect. that means you too people who still have dial-up(counting me). I am really looking forward to nintendogs and Mario kart Ds. And you just know someone is going to make a tunneling program for the ds. Just like xbox connect and others. I am just ready an waiting.
June 20th, 2005 at 9:10 am
56Alright, another asshole comes on here to write. Xbox rules. Hmm, if Xbox was so good, why can’t I find any of the buttons on the controller. There is like 20 million. Game play is confusing, the games suck (except for Halo 1 and 2), and they are mostly fighting games. Nevesnet I don’t think anyone will want to be on your team, considering the fact that the PS2 and Gamecube are 2 of the most bought systems in the world. Why don’t you go play with yourself. XBOX: Needs a special remote to play movies. PS2: Throw a movie in, right out of the box, and hell, COMMAND THE MOVIE WITH THE CONTROLLER. XBOX: Live has a monthly payment. PS2: FREE, unless you want to play Everquest, or FINAL FANTASY, you dumbass, which is probably better than any shit Microsoft can shit out their ass. XBOX:Best game is the Halo Series PS2: 20 GAJILLION GAMES.
Now answer all if you at home: Which one would you want?
P.S. Wow, how much better could 360 be
June 20th, 2005 at 3:01 pm
57Wow, what a passionate subject. It’s funny how people take their console to heart, or thoroughly disrespect those they don’t consider worthy.
I was under the impression that more Xbox had been sold worldwide than Nintendo’s latest console, or did I read wrong?
Nintendo are great in the hand held department, but personally when it comes to consoles I find them lacking.
The PS2 is great, I have one myself. However, having the choice of an Xbox is excellent. I love the large handcontrollers - they are much easier to hold and control, etc. As far as hardware specs go, the Xbox beats the PS2 hands down. Only when it comes to some games, and market share does the PS2 win. Win the Xbox 360 comes out, Live will be free.
It all comes down to personal preference, in the end. And people are idiots for trying to convert people anyway. Also, there was a really good TIME Magazine article about the Xbox and the console industry in general that was very interesting - Bill Gates has some interesting plans for your living room.
June 24th, 2005 at 2:30 pm
58wats the point of umd vids if they cost more then dvd movies…….. only losers would buy umd dvd’s. The psp is really good n so is the ds, but i think the ds is gona win the war
June 24th, 2005 at 4:50 pm
59Hey you wanna know something funny?
Psp sold 500,000 value packs within 48 hours of it’s release, while the DS took more than a week to sell that many consoles. PSP ended up grossing 150 million in two days… sorry nintendo…
if there’s anything I’ve realized from reading these posts, it’s that the forum is retarded. Does anyone hear think they are going to convince anyone else that they are right? I don’t think so. No one is right or wrong; it is completely opinion. The only way all of you DS lovers can convince yourselves that you are right is because the majority of people on this forum just happen to like the ds more. For god’s sake this is a DS devoted forum people.
I have a psp, I love it, but I know that nobody cares because they have their mindset that they wont change.
peace
June 26th, 2005 at 12:56 pm

PSP is amazing, but so is DS, you have to grow up and acept that, god, no wonder Gamers are made out to b like the sterio type!

61the psp is the gayest thing ever, ok you can play media on it ,better graphics (the ds will blow the psp with graphics eventually though)and the psp has a internet thingy wireless whatever it is.
but the nintendo ds has two screens, a touch screen, better games available, and will eventually thrash the psp away with that wireless connection thingy (witch i am so despirate for) and ive heard eventually and maybe the ds will be able to search the web and i think most of it will be free (yes most withch is a lot ,ithink well i hope)
the psp has loads of sticking out buttons on the front wich put you off when playin games.
in conclusion PSP SUCKS! AND DS ROCKS OH YEA!
P.S. im gonna get a revolution and from what ive heard about it its really gonna revolutionize games ‘forever’.
maybe the ps3 should just stick with there plain consoles (ps2 , ps1 , ps3)
oh and got a ds 2 weeks ago , and im selling my psp on ebay and mario 64 is the best game ive seen on ds that ive seen so far also star wars 3 , the flying missions are best(oh and pokemon pearl and diamond version , im gonna get them.)
June 30th, 2005 at 4:43 pm
62me again
by ps3 i mean sony
and again psp can lick my friends dick (wich it would proberly like to do)
DS rocks oh yea ,psp sucks.
money wasting alert oh my the psp is £179,
save £80 people get a ds and the other £80 could get you 3 top games for the ds. well i guess all the games on ds are top and good.
and by the way get nintendgs red version you can stroke the puppies with your finger.

look at what the ds has to offer.
it has true surround sound.as good as the ps2
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:12 pm
65OK
Well i never really liked sony and i kinda like nintendo once. Im a PC Gamer, but i want a mobile game system.
My friend bought a PSP. It was cool. Good graphics, looked very hackable for linux and stuf, web browser and all, nice screen, and a WHOLE 2 HOUR BATTERY LIFE. Wow, thats real great on an 8 hour flight 2 flippin hours!
the video: you can buy expensive UMD versions and waste your money or like my friend you can search through thousands of japaneese sites to find a freeware encoder to put it on a 256 mb card that costs $100!
im frugle, so i cant afford psp
ds i can
ds looks ok graphics but touch screen is real nice, my other friend has ds and i played hunters demo, and although game sucked for FPS controls were sweet combine that with good games like spliter cell, golden eye, and Age of Empires and it rocks!
Thats why i never bought a playstation, never really liked any games for it, psp too
they both have a very limited selection but niether are gonna just die so buy either
personaly, i think ds is better for battery, price, and games
plus games cost $30 on ds $50 on psp
i dont hav much money

66They should make a super smash bros. ds
game,for us smash bros. lovers and have awsome grafices. Plus with the ds online thing thay should have a phone game,you could talk through the mic,and listen by the speakers, plus create and order ring tones!
July 5th, 2005 at 12:18 am
67Actually xigency, the battery life is way longer than that. I can get through a whole 2 and a half hour movie, and still have enough juice to watch another hour of whatever. Your friend’s battery must have been faulty (or you just don’t know shit).
You can buy a $15-20 power brik (it’s a lot more compact than it sounds) and charge your PSP all they way 2 times. That’s roughly 11.5 hours of battery life (depending how you use it of course).
The movie UMD’s start at 14.99 and cost as much as 29.99 depending on what movie title you buy, just as regular DVD’s do. You go out and try to get a brand new release on DVD for reasonably less than that and tell me what you find.
I’m not really sure why you mentioned FPS controls, because the only FPS game that you listed was goldeneye. If you have read up on Goldeneye for Nintendo DS, you may be disapointed by reading this, because in fact, RARE has no part in its development, and it’s not even going to be the classic goldeneye that we all know and love, it’s going to be goldeneye: rogue agent. I owned that game on gamecube, and I’m sorry, but it was a joke compared to the original.
Also, I have a 256 MB mem. card, which I bought for $50. You can even find good deals on 1 gigabyte cards for less than $100.
just thought other readers should know.

69FUCK THE PSP
i just bought a DS….and i love it….all those who think the psp is betta….go fuck yourselves with it
July 10th, 2005 at 6:20 pm
70im srry but i can’t see at all what you DS lovers are talking about. There’s plenty of pointless flames, but no foundation. DS games better than PSP? WTF? PSP games dont just have better graphics, they have all the classics that the ps1 had backing it. N64 sucked compared to PS1, and has more in the name of RPG’s. RP-what? Playstation pwned N64, with it’s awesome games, even if N64 had slightly better graphics(couldnt tell blocks from blocks). No one should ever revisit the 32-bit or 64-bit era, Nintendo! It was there because 3-D polygons were new and looked cool, but had shitty camera angles and everything else. So why the hell would we go back to them? Dreamcast is as low as new graphics can go, and psp beats them and brings us back all our classics. So what it comes down to is, the only people who are playing DS are the ones who dont care about graphics and think that N64 games were automatically better than PS2 games.
P.S. N64 lasted like half as long as Playstation ONE :P
July 11th, 2005 at 12:35 am
71PSP games are just PS2 games with diffrent names :/
Nintendo is working to make free online play, along with the release of NintendoR (revolution).
2 screens useless? touch screen useless? Yeah, okay, and I guess paying almost $160 for a decent MemoryStick isn’t useless. Please, use a little logic before you actually say something.
July 11th, 2005 at 1:16 am
72$160 for a memory stick? where the crap are you shopping? have you actually read these posts?
On my $50 memory card, I have like 10 episodes of Red vs. Blue, a few really good Mp3’s, some music videos, homebrew games, like chess, casino games, and doom. I also have dozens of pictures, and collections of PSP magazines as well. You can put text files, and even whole books on your psp.
So please heed your own advice, and use a little logic before you say something…
July 13th, 2005 at 5:03 pm
73i’ve got something for all u ds fanboys. the psp can run many emulators (gameboy color, SNES, NES, PCE, and some more..) the ds only has SNES that was just released not too long ago, and is still VERY buggy. not that psp emu’s arent buggy, dont get me wrong, but the psp scene is looking FAR, FAR better than the ds scene. and u dont even need a big memory stick to play these emu’s a 32mb one would be fine. if ur an emulation freak (which is me), or a grafics whore, then u would definetly buy the psp. however, if u like pokemon, not into emulation at all, dont like watching movies on the go, or are too poor (or dont want to spend too much) to buy a psp, then a ds is for u.
i do wonder how old all the people that say “PSP SUCKS!!!” are, because ds is really aimed at ppl 17 and under and the psp at 17 and older…
July 13th, 2005 at 6:04 pm
74oh yea one more huge thing that i left out. are you nintendo fanboys even aware that NINTENDO IS MAKING A BRAND NEW HANDHELD as i type this.i dont know when they are going to release it, but probably next year. i also read somewhere that its practically going to be like a PSP only with a nintendo logo. but when it does come out which i think its going to be next year, are you aware of whats going to happen? NO MORE GAMES FOR DS! its going to be over for the ds, and the psp will go on. nintendo is going to ditch the ds, just like they did with the sp when the ds came out.
July 13th, 2005 at 6:52 pm
75The people who hate the psp are just mad because they’re too cheap/poor to buy it and have to settle for a crappier handhelp by the name of “Nintendo DS”.
July 13th, 2005 at 11:21 pm
76that post didnt have logic either. PSP already HAS free online play (TM: Head-On), since, um, LAUNCH. So what if Nintendo Revolution has emulators built in… i can do that on my comp, AND play SNES and NES games on my PSP. Guess Sony beat Nintendo to emulating its own systems. And $150 for a memory stick? spam. I know where to get them for at least thirty dollars cheaper than ur ridiculous claim. It’s called EVERY FREAKING CHAIN STORE IN THE U.S. And they’re even cheaper online.
July 14th, 2005 at 11:47 am
77finally ds online play is coming out in october 2005. mario cart and tony hawk are going to be the first games to go online. im really exited i got a ds a month ago and i love it my brother has a psp but i dont like it because its just like playing the ps2 BORING!
July 14th, 2005 at 11:51 am
78if you have a ps2 dont get the psp its frickin boring and someone play me online in october bye
July 14th, 2005 at 3:53 pm
79if you have an N64 dont get the DS its frickin stupid an someone play me online in… oh, i can do it right now.
July 14th, 2005 at 9:17 pm
80How sad for you hobotent becuase the new nintendo handheld console is called the game boy micro and is merely an upgraded version of the SP so actually nintendo hasn’t dumped the SP. just for the record the PSP has many hardware bugs not to mention a digital volume control, which means no playing when you forgot the volume on, just face it the DS is superior to the PSP and sorry if I’m rubbing salt in the wounds here, but the PSP has a screen prone to getting DEAD PIXELS
July 14th, 2005 at 10:00 pm
81hey werner, im not trying to start a flame war, but the ds and psp both have LCD screens, which means they’re both prone to getting dead pixels. im a HUGE fan of the gba, i DONT want to see it dead! unfortunately, thats whats happening, because the ds is more appealing than something that is 4 years old. as for the micro, thats just a way to cash in! i mean seriously, a 3rd remake of the gba? thats just sad, and im a HUGE gba fan! and this is EXACTLY what is going to happen when the Gameboy Advance 2 is going to come out. NO MORE DS GAMES!! notice how nintendo said that the DS wasnt a gameboy? the DS was a way to cash in, just like the micro is going to be….just watch.. i’ll be digging the grave for nintendo..
July 16th, 2005 at 5:36 pm
82say what you want but im playing mario cart online in october on my ds and my brother sold his psp on ebay today cause he hated it its just a ps2 but smaller and if your wondering im john i changed my name
July 16th, 2005 at 5:38 pm
83DS RULES NO MORE PSP CRAP ITS JUST A PS@ BUT SMALLER I MEAN DONT YOU EVER GET TIRED OF PLAYING THE GAMES YOU HAVE AT HOME ON THE ROAD?

DS CONS: NO GOOD RELEASE GAMES and EVERYTHING ELSE
July 16th, 2005 at 10:28 pm
87if u say the psp is like playing the ps2, then playing the ds is like playing an n64. that being said, which system would you rather buy? n64, or ps2?
the answer is obvious, just like the answer to to this whole debate.
July 16th, 2005 at 10:40 pm
88oh yeah, and twitch, ur forgetting that the psp can also emulate gameboy color well! so thats SNES, NES, GBC.. am i missing anything else from nintendo? btw, nice quadruple posting evanthehunter. did ur CAPS key break?
July 19th, 2005 at 2:48 pm
89f u all the psp makes the ds look like a cheap piece of crap
July 20th, 2005 at 9:58 pm
90that it does
July 20th, 2005 at 10:03 pm
91neone notice that the only people that are making valid arguments are the people who are neutral or defending psp? seriously, all you “DS Roxxors” people just admit it, there’s nothing better about DS, you just like the games better than the PSP games. Neone who had a PS1 and liked it over N64 will have a PSP. Neone who bought N64 and thought its games were better will buy DS.
P.S. again, note, PS1 Lifespan > N64 Lifespan, even with earlier launch.
July 21st, 2005 at 4:57 pm
92Although i am a devote nintendo fan, that wont make me biast in this ‘debate’. I think that the nintendo ds was released a little early, but still a nice clean console. When october comes, it ll be even better. From what i hear of the PSP, it s also a cool console, with some good games comin out. As far as i see it, it s a matter of taste and opinion, and people should just play games for fun, not competetion, or anything like that. Just enjoy it. Have fun..
July 21st, 2005 at 5:02 pm
93I agree totally with Aurion. Whatever you feel would be more fun to play. Play it. Theres no need to voice your opinions about how stupid the other people are if they like something different to you. Myself, I have only played the DS, but there are some things about the PSP that I would love to experience.
July 21st, 2005 at 6:23 pm
94dont you get bored of playing ps2 on the go i have a ps2 and its boring playing the same old games when on NDS they change the games
July 21st, 2005 at 6:25 pm
95well dont i like playing bad graphic games on the go its something different then the sistems

August 1st, 2005 at 3:22 pm
111the ds can play movies and music just like the psp. You just need to buy a ds/gba movie player and a compact flash memory card. there are tons of brand new ds movie players on ebay. they are cheap, and they work great.
August 1st, 2005 at 4:55 pm
112omg i m so sad that nintendo made somthing so stupid.. i used to b a nintendo fan but now i think i m switching to b a sony fan….sony kicked nintendos ass with the psp…..and i think sony will kick nintendos ass again with the ps3 .

120Alright, Alright, I’ve played a PSP. But I’m here to put out some facts. First off, to correct this Brian character, DS sold over 500,000 in the first 24 hours, unlike PSP, because it came out after. Play Chan enables to play music on DS, and put that together, its still cheaper than PSP. Personally, two screens is cool. If you think about it, it helps you with gameplay, and also, when u play online (when Nintendo gets around to it, the screen can help there also. PSP is a good system, and I can say they both have their pros and cons. But DS does have, as of right now, a little bit more of an edge bc of the price factor. Peace out.
August 11th, 2005 at 7:03 pm
121you guys are all gay, the psp just came out with a web browser, beat that with a DS i wasted my time buying a DS and i must admit the touch screen thing is pretty neat but the psp will still beat nintendo in the end. I have enough money to buy both the psp and the DS but my DS is collecting dust. Nintendo is falling but i will like to see their revolution. It better wipe my a$$ to get some respect back up there but i think nintendo is going to be the only “kids console” mario is cool and metroid was fun, but damn, come on nintendo
August 11th, 2005 at 7:12 pm
122Im still reading other posts on here you guys are dumbasses imagine talking imagine graphics, and another one, imagine ONLINE PLAY, you guys are fuckin stupid, the psp has this already you dumbasses. Shut up you stupid poor bums who cant afford a psp and sell your POS ds on ebay and youll be closer to a psp. Just wash some more of your moms dishes, grow some balls and ask for some money, if that doesnt work go and get an allowance or something. Hell even offer to mow your neighbors lawn asking for money
August 12th, 2005 at 3:35 pm
123I agree with Steven. I have a DS. I have a PSP. I’m selling my DS. Why? Because it sucks shit compared to the PSP. The PSP beats it in graphics. It beats it in sound. I beats it in controls. It beats it in games. It beats it in EVEREY aspect BUT battery length. But so what? it lasts for 4 hours with Twisted Metal:HO, so i’m fine with that. You guys are bloody retarded. The DS WON”T GO ONLINE! WHY CAUSE NINT
