I'd heavily recommend either a GBASP or DS and the 3 GBA castlevania games, I just bought all three yesturday and it's been some of the most fun I've had on my DS yet.
Nintendogs is the best selling game in japan(all three versions combined) for a few weeks now, a pet puppy simulator would be the simplest description of it. It's a DS game.
That new gameboy talk was never real, it's only still around because psp fanboys use it as ammo to stop people from buying a DS. End of story, nintendo even confirmed that they were false, unsubstantiated rumours.
Killed nintendo? Nintendo cleared more profit than sony and ms xbox division (which lost money) combined. So all nintendo did is save the cash they could have used on floods of marketting and bribing(sony) or buying(MS) game devs, and came out financially ahead if not in console sales. Nintendo has over 5 billion in it's warchest, it it ever starts losing money it will really turn up the heat, but being the apple of gaming seems to be profitable right now.
The DS took less than 5 months from earliest world release to euro release, while the psp will take 9 months. And the DS costs about the same in the rest of the world and the EU, while the PSP costs about 30%-40% premium in the EU compared to the rest of the world. I'd say there is a huge difference between the two, and the nintendo situation is hardly screwing you unlike the psp situation.
As an EU citizen what do you know of poverty in the west, the west includes Canada and the USA btw, and there are many "actual" poor people there, trust me.
Oh, and I am definately not a nintendo fanboy either. I owned a ps1 and not the n64, I own all 3 systems this gen, I own a psp and a DS, and prefer my DS btw, and will be buying the PS3 and am undecided on the revolution, no xbox2 for me though;p . So if anything I lean towards sony, against MS, and neutral to nintendo, but I feel 10x better about buying my DS than my PSP.
Hmm, so people are more impressed by the PSP than the DS, but the DS is the one with higher sales figures? So what if the psp has better "graphics", it's also 100$ more expensive, if nintendo wanted to go after the 250$ portable market it would certainly have been more visually impressive. And isn't it a little late to still be doing that lame virtual boy to DS comparison? The market has spoken, the DS is a success.
And about the revolution online comment, nintendo has already confirmed it will be, and it will be FREE, and it that it ISN'T the revolutionary aspect. And Xbox Live is a step backwards over PC online, and it's a pay service, if it weren't for Halo2 it would be a total failure too.

Your full of shit. Either some money or some fanboyism is exerting it's influence over at your site.
Exactly. It's not 'a little nervous...9/11 blah blah' , it's 'a little totalitarian given the excuses afforded by government backed panic in a post 9/11 world'. Got a neighbor pissing you off? Well in a post 9/11 world you might think of ways to get the authorities to hassle them. Some 'different' people offensive to you? They must be anti-american terrorists!
Honestly, I don't know if Fahrenheit 451 or 1984 is the most likely direction the country is headed in, but it's definately got aspects of both setting down roots.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly, there IS a market for an iTunes like sevice for old games, some people like respecting copyright.
Umm, actually it looks like MS already lost their battle with sony. Frankly nintendo has a better chance now.

Wow, Shocking! Not really, the slashdot blurb even mentions the same thing, that 3rd party games, like mmorpgs, will be allowed to charge. Troll?

Microsoft as publisher for atleast Halflife2 xbox.
And given how litigious apple is being lately, it's hard to have sympathy for them in this.

I don't quite get what the article is describing, but it sounds similar to the vrizer project.

Not to mention that in japan it costs the equivalent of 180USD, so compared to the japanese your getting raped with a wire brush.

it appears as though the upcomming Zelda DS game will be a four swords type game, and ONLINE!

What's up people's asses today? I wasn't refering to what the words meant, but why they were chosen.
Eiger=Tiger(OSX)
Mönch=Münich (aka huge linux deal)
Those are just plain stupid names whatever their reasoning.

I'm sick of all these FF6 zealots, FF4 is the best.
And guess which type likes to hire their own.
It's not that they were afraid of a terrorist attack, it's that cops get their jollies from pulling that kinda shit, a real power trip yaknow?

Umm, how would it being under a BDS liscence be any different? You can re-liscence BSD code as GPL you know.
