I'd rather not wait.

The DS will be a good system, no doubts here, when it comes out... the PSP I believe is scheduled for release this year... I know it's graphical capabilities are between Dreamcast and PS2 (the PSP that is) however, I have no idea how thy're gonna fit that on the screen, even though it is bigger than a GBA screen, not to mention the flat button design I hope to god they get rid of... anyhow does anyone actually know the setup of the DS other than the two screens deal... I wonder if it'll be like the WS in a the sense of two control pads that is...

PSP is going to pwn. Nintendo made this to combat the superior graphics and power of the PSP, but it sounds rushed and niche appeal...I'm predicting (and this is purely on a no-information, opinion only basis) that it'll get canned in production or end up in the bargain bin within the first six months after release, especially if Sony gets the PSP out first.

The Nintendo Dual Screen will be a different product from the GBA and GCN.. they are separating it from those two consoles. It won't be some different version of the GBA.

hey ultimate thats not cool not to wait evrything deserves an equal opportunity especially sony.

nintendo sucks.. ever since Sega went out of business the whole video game industry has sucked.

[chillywilly]

sega never went out of business

[Master_of_PARANOiA]

technically you're right. but they stopped making systems after dreamcast, and that's out of business enough for me

Sega discontinued hardware production, continued software production and has been partly purchased by Sammy. There are speculations eventually all of Sega will be purchased, but Sega will still retain its name.

The PSP is supposed to meet PS2 standards. A recent report indicates the system specs have received a juicy memory jump from 8MB to 32MB in order to compare to the PS2.

And indeed Nintendo's new product is the DS. There should be some nice innovations here such as an adventure game with one screen looking like Zelda (3/4 overhead) and when you approach enemies you can look at the other screen which would give an upclose view of the fight, like Zelda II (horizontal). So much could be done with this given time. I'm actually going to be at E3 this year so when Nintendo unveils this, you bet your ass I'll be there. I hope to see something on the PSP as well.

As far as I'm concerned,the DS offers something very innovative to portable video games.Sure,the PSP may have great graphics,but thats a predictable move.Nintendo is bringing something new to the field while the PSP is just making improvements.It'll be very interesting how the systems well the systems compete with eachother.

Me myself thinks that this Nintendo Product will fail horribly.
First thing: I hate to think about the design, will it be pocket size anymore?
Second thing: Why the hell do you need two screens anyway!
Acording to nintendo the second screen will basicly contain infomation.
Who needs that? As much as I love Nintendo, This doesn't look good!
