| bouzane said: I find it funny how people say that the Wii will become a great hardcore gaming system like the DS. The problem is that most hardcore gamers I know (myself included) have no interest in rehashed Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon and Castlevania sequels. Neither is there any hardcore interest in "games" like Brain Age, Nintendogs, etc... The only compelling software on the DS, for me anyway, are a handful of unique titles like Elite Beat Agents and adventure games like Hotel Dusk. I will always stand by the notion that the PSP offers far more games for hardcore gamers such as Crush, Patapon, Loco Roco and Syphon Filter. |
You're definitly speaking for yourself. Any hardcore gamer who isn't interested in Mario Galaxy can hardly call himself hardcore. Good lord, the final fight against Bowser makes that game worth the price alone.
I'm quite the hardcore gamer and I love Brain Age. But I also love Contra 4 and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. I also love the Genesis I just bought and the fairly large back-catalog of titles I still own and the shmup genre in general. Though, I've always loathed Pokemon, and the only reason my interest has waned in Zelda is because Nintendo has relied too heavily on that franchise without trying hard enough to come up with original plots.
When you say that the PSP offers more hardcore games, you're actually showing it's limitations--that's all that has. The DS on the other hand, has a much, much wider variety of titles--not just hardcore games that are mostly ports of pre-existing PS2 titles.
