I really, really dislike Monster Hunter and just don't get why it's popular. As for the other games you mentioned, half are ports/remakes, and the other half are nothing special. PSP does have a great selection of games, and you know it's really a matter of preference in the end. To me DS has more, and better, new games (but PSP has more remakes/ports).

However, you can't argue the appeal of GBA. DS is backward compatible with GBA and I think GBA has the best handheld library ever.

 

P.S. Jeanne D'Arc, I love it, but it just makes me want to play Fire Emblem lol! It's not that different from FFTactics and Fire Emblem, and I'm an FE type of guy.

Take a look at my PSP game collection, all my games are up to date (except I think I got a couple more DS games now). I count 11 games which aren't ports, and most of them are sequels or handheld versions of console games. Jeanne D'Arc, Tales of the World, Trails in the Sky and Crisis Core are probably the only uniquely PSP game which I own. As for DS I have at least a dozen, all great. Infinite Space, Pokemon, Advance Wars, Radiant Historia, SMT: Strange Journey, 999, Soma Bringer, Golden Sun, and I'm thinking of Importing Tales of Innocence (there are fully working patches).

Also Suikoden is a great DS game worth noting, but it's not that different from the console games, so I didn't mention it above.

Yeah, it seems like just a difference in taste.

I loved pokemon 15 years ago. Don't really have that same feel for it anymore, just feels contrived.  Advance wars I liked, until I realized it was basically a puzzle game. The other games are good, and there are lots more, but DS always felt limited to me. It was like, ok first level is this...these are probably the same textures I'm going to see throughout the entire game.

While I do think DS is the better system, for a variety of reasons, DS to me is all RPGs, and turn based rpgs, with a couple creative games here and there like Ouendan, layton, and phoenix wright. I also picked vita as one of my picks (which is the same with psp) in that I have browser access, movies, music, etc. I picked SNES as the "limited" console, but it has some of the same shortcomings of DS. I mean, SNES' best library is almost entirely RPGs. If I didn't pick SNES, I would pick DS. I just think SNES is a better overall system.

What's wrong with Advanced Wars being a puzzle game? Crush is also a puzzle game and I love that.

I was off Pokemon for a long while, but someone convinced me to get Black/White and I got re-addicted. The plot is a bit more sophisticated then before, and the level of quality is much better then the other GBA/DS expeditions.

Anyway to each there own, I am glad i got a PSP, only bought mine about 6 months ago. Good point about graphics, but when it comes to a game like Fire Emblem or Advance Wars I can live with repeated textures.
