I mean the game is keeping to the Kingdom Hearts feel <_< it's a very nice looking DS game and that's that. I certainly can't wait to get my hands on this game, I'm still big on KH3 NAO! But this will help keep me occupied while I wait :) |
It's more powerful. The processors have slow clock speed. That and onscreen polygon count are the only things less. The clock speed was largely in place of efficiency with the N64, while the DS uses highly efficient processors. The N64 also had RAM that was not that good for gaming (but ironically is great for FMVs, and the PS2 and PS3 use versions of it), while the DS uses RAM that is again more efficient. The DS even had a miniscule texture buffer, only 4KB. Even for the 5th gen that was puny. The DS uses 512KB of texture memory for each screen.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
