Forums - Gaming - So...when's MS going to announce it's handheld?

I doubt it will happen. They'll have a tough time competing and I don't think we need another handheld out there.

The Market is full unless Microsoft can offer some significant U.S.P .

I wish they made one. I'm not playing with my ds at all. I would prefer ms console over sony/nintendo one any day.

 

sorry man =/ that really sucks considering there are tons of great games on it from really every genre. all the great companies have put a good piece of work on the DS, it has some amazing new IPs and probaly some of the greatest handhelds ever



"Games for Windows Mobile" is more likely. That would be nice btw.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Really? Where can you find those good games? Not at the stores around here or at those internet stores where I buy games. (thehut/play.com mostly). All I see is some japanese games and stuff like big brain academy.. I would however appreciate if you could tell me few good western titles. I really have to try that console out.

when they ever get first in a console race.

lol

 

i have to agree with this statement even if the original poster might be joking about it. I don't think Microsoft can focus on both until they win one generation of the cosole wars....after that when they believe they have a big enough install base with their console system they will release a handheld

I don't see where he asked for western games. You know, gaming is great because it doesn't need a certain race to make them in order for them to be good. Thankfully, you can pretty much buy them anywhere. I've purchased a majority (about 95%) of my DS games at big retailers, usually GameStop, an EB Games, or on a rare time a store like Target.

Nintendo has released tons and tons of DS games, many great and many million sellers. Square-Enix, an RPG king, has released tons of great games, many from the Dragon Question and Final Fantasy name series, and even some new IPs. You know, the DS is considered the king of RPGs? Capcom has some games on it, including the Ace Attorney series, which has tons of fans in love with it. Tons of other games, and comanis, and the genres can be as simple as platformers, RPGs and shooters to weirder genres like puzzles, sims, rythm and music games, and tons of others.

There aren't too many western games, but there never has been any huge western handheld games. Though like I said before, gaming isn't a racist things where only Americans make good games. Whether YOU only like western games doesn't change the actual quality of the game, thank god.

Just a few series that have appeared on the DS- Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Star Fox, Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Sonic, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Trauma Center, Professor Layton, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Elite Beat Agents, The World Ends With You, Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts (future title,) Resident Evil, Mega Man, Call of Duty (lol,) Wario Ware, Viewtiful Joe, the Lego series, the Jump series, Hotel Dusk, TONS of anime games, Castlevania, Grand Theft Auto (future title,) Blue Dragon, etc etc etc.

Again, whether YOU like them or not doesn't change how great those games are.

I'm not the one who said there are tons of great games from every genre. Or that all the great companies have put a good piece of work on ds. If every good company has made something, there must be a lot of good western titles? Why should I care if someone else likes those games if I want to buy a game for my console? Anyway, I just asked if there were any games which I might like (the western ones). From those you listed, I think I'll pass CoD. :D

Judged on your game list, and recent trolling, and signature, there's nothing I have to say to that when you've made up your mind before trying.

I have tried more than enough japanese games to know that I don't like them. Once again, I just asked for some games I might try out. Too bad if you feel it is trolling or something.
