[DS] Nintendo DS/Lite discussion thread

That's EXACTLY what I was trying to say earlier in chat to Skills.

The SP was a HUGE improvement over the original GBA in features and usage, however the only benefit to getting a DS Lite would be that it's....smaller?

Honestly now, why bother? The button swapping isn't really a huge problem in my mind since I never hit the power button by accident or anything like that. I'm not going to rush out to get something that I have no real incentive to buy. Maybe if it fired missiles or something I'd get one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh yes, Crash totally isn't being serious, because everyone loves the fucking DSl, despite all of the valid points Crash mentioned in his essay.

Get out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The iDS is smaller. I don't see how this is a bad thing, really. I don't know what kind of pockets you have, but I find the original DS rather too big to fit into my pocket. Let me see what else is there... Backlight actually doing something when you play in the sun. Yeah that's definitely a sucky feature. Maybe he doesn't go outdoors, I don't know.

He also makes these awesome assumptions about durability and the stylus' positioning, especially for a person who has never seen or touched one. I have never touched one either, but then again, I am not the one who wrote that post!

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the iDS design by any means (plasticky stuff kind of turns me off, and iPod bitin'-white should just die right now), and I wouldn't get one, but his arguments are pretty ridiculous.

That is, if he's serious. It sounded like a joke post to me, in which case it was hilarious.

Then you are extremely dense. It's not a joke.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I believe what you meant to say was they're nothing more frustrating than morons falling into Nintendo's stupid ploys again.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe, maybe not, but like it or hate it Nintendo is going to sell it and people will buy it. Really, what is so horrible about that? It's what they've done for years with their handhelds and for some reason you’re oh so bothered by it now? Get a grip, dude, and just go and play your DS as usual if you're so adamant about the DSlite being a waste of your time.

At the same time, it's hilarious how surasshu over there thinks it's completely OK to dismiss Crash's post just because he doesn't want one.

You know who really needs to get a grip? You guys. Every time someone tries to say they don't like some new Nintendo product they get written off or jumped on immediately for it. You're basically saying it yourself. "Oh if you don't like it then go somewhere else". No fuck that. It's the equivalent of not being allowed to express your opinion. It's the biggest load of bullshit ever and part of why people keep eating shit like this up.

It's absurd. Get real here.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So, is Crash giving you a hard time at home cause you're younger or something?

Wow ok. Way to not be a troll there. You go and lambast the guy for absolutely nothing and throw in a snide comment in hopes of baiting him. Looks like the Warp Room has great moderation, here.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So Merv is trolling, but Akai-chan is totally cool. It's nonsense.

FELIPE NO

Btw, what has Akai done?

If I'm not mistaken, Akai was the one who trolled Merv, not the other way around. You are reading the whole thing, right?

It just seems like you two are ganging up on Merv and ignoring everything else and it's only solidifying the whole "Pro Nintendo or Get Out" POV.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I shouldn't have to help a moderator read his own thread. There's three or so posts on the previous page.
