Cause Handhelds suck with their little screens... and they steal all the good SRPGS.

I hate them so.

 And will continue to do so.

Sadly, and unlike the PSP, the DS's design makes it impossible to hook up to the TV.

For whatever reason i can't adjust to playing on that little screen.

I guess the "Super Gameboy" attachement for the SNES spoiled me.

How much gameplay is there in Phoenix Wright...it looks more like a story than a game.


It really doesn't matter. The games are recommended by naznatips and ItsaMii.


Well said Rol.

There is no excuse for not at least trying Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.  It's discount priced everywhere and it's an amazing game in so many more ways than I care to describe.

Oh, and if anyone is looking for new DS games to buy check out my profile.  Most of the DS games are near the bottom.  I'm just about to add a couple more to the list. One of these days I'll finish this.

You might need reading glasses.

The "Super Gameboy" attachment is great. Wouldn't it be cool if Nintendo came out with that for the Wii. I do feel sad for you if you can't get used to playing for long periods of time on a DS and you're a SRPG fan. Personally I'm very pleased that the DS is stomping everything in sight because that has led to it getting the majority of the strategy, RPG and puzzle type games that I enjoy the most.

my eyesites fine, the screens just being so small always bothered me for whatever reason.   I'm sure i'll have to try it again at some point but playing Advance Wars and other SRPG games on my GBA annoyed me if I did it for too long. 

That's why i haven't gotten any of the newer pokemon games either.  They took out the console version's ability to play it on the big screen.

@Rol

True, I still cannot find Justice for All for less than 50Euros and Ace Attorney for less than 40Euros! I have finished the latter on rental, but still I want this game. People, buy Phoenix Wright games (or more correctly, Ace Attorney); they are awesome.



the DS is a handheld.. its in the handheld wars, which has already been decided that Nintendo will always control it.

The console wars = console not handhelds. The DS might outsell the PS2 but they are two different ballparks.

That argument worked a lot better before games like Dragon Quest IX and Contra 4 were announced for the DS.  At this point it just seems ridiculous. Of course handhelds compete with consoles in both software and hardware sales.  Of course handhelds are just as relevant.  When companies like Bioware are making games for a system it doesn't make sense to say it doesn't compete in the same market as home consoles.  All game systems compete with each other for our time and money.  If I buy a game for my DS, that's money I didn't spend on my Wii, PS2, or PSP.  It's not like people have separate play money for handheld games. 



If they Put a multiplayer version of AOE - Real time on the DS I'll buy it.
