[Question] NDS Lite vs PSP?

Well it's still the only handheld with a good version of Klax..

I've got both and I use both for different things. I've probably got a few more games for DS but until I bought pokemon, I'd clocked way more hours on the PSP. My personal experience is that PSP games are generally longer and more involving (The GTA games, I replayed BoF 3, Pro-Evo, Wipeout Pure and the mighty Lumines games) whereas DS games you tend to play for 10 minutes then get bored then play 10 minutes another time and get bored again.

Being in Europe, the number of titles available is significantly less and not being overly bothered about Jap rpgs, the DS library as I see it is a bunch of slightly gimicy, short games. Kirby's Power Paintbrush is pretty good, Warioware is fun for an hour or so, I've always hated Mario games, Bomberman is alright I guess, Trauma Centre gets too hard to fast for me to bother learning how to beat it and Nintendogs did an amazing job for several months of keeping my girlfriend quiet while I was playing Halo 2.

But ultimately, they're both worth owning I'd say.

But...I never said it only has puzzle and brain-training games. I said it comprised a good portion of the DS's library, both currently available and coming soon, but I didn't say only. Saying that would, indeed, make it look like I have no idea what kind of games are available on the DS. So, I agree with you there.

If it came off like I said that, my bad. Not what I meant.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Fair enough. I guess it came off that way because you presented it as "DS mostly has puzzle and brain training games and I have no interest in those" and at the same emphasizing the DS has no games that interest you whatsoever.

Which even outside the "not all DS games are puzzle" thing is still a strange claim since the DS has about as many (quality) RPGs available to it as the PSP, especially if GBA titles are counted. If anyone wants to go back to comparing numbers, that is.

How ya doing, buddy?

There's another handheld with Klax on it? News to me.

FELIPE NO

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

And to agree with the majority, yeah, you'd be a fool to say DS is only for the Edutainment games.

You can import the games as the DS is region-free.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So is the PSP. I think he meant the same game is therefore counted three times, wrongly increasing the number.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But a GBA is not an Atari Lynx.

Also yeah, the number is increased if there's a release of a game in Japan, America then/or Europe. So there's a portion of them that are actually the same game, just released elsewhere. Either because the language has been changed, or it's been released somewhere else by another publisher (lol Korean Mario Kart DS didn't come out until earlier this year) or it's in Multi5 for Europe.

Game Boy had Klax, but that was a stink factory decision because Klax is all about colour! Not this rainy day nonsense! You never knew what was going on! Game Gear had Klax, but it looked like a groin rash and played like one too! Game Boy Color had Klax, but it was slow, and flickered like Jimmy jump kicking a goon in the NES Double Dragon! It also lacked the crucial voice samples! Game Boy Advance had Klax, but you have to suffer the pain of having it share a cartridge with the worst Marble Madness ever. That's depressing! For society! PSP had Klax (via Midway Arcade Treasures), but it had C64 style loading times and by the time that's done it may or may not be the 90's anymore, meaning a crisis! A crisis for Klax!
