Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Should I Buy A PSP Or A Wii And a DS

Hello, i'm nearly finished my exams for GCSE's (UK) and i'd like to get a new gaming system (i already have a PS3), so i'd like to know, whats better, a  PSP 3000 (new for £137 RRP: £150) or a DS Lite and a Wii (Used for £200 together RRP £280). I've already got a few games in mind for each system. i personally love me PS3 and PS2 and like to see their characters in more games, but i'd like to try something new and i have a feeling the Wii will be the king sooner or later

200+ posts confirmed.

I bought a Wii and a few DS's. That's what worked for me. Hopefully, with a little research, you'll find what works for you.



When I read you had a PS3 I was gonna skip the rest and say PSP but.. For those prices Wii + DS would be my pick and you do have a nice list of games you're interested in so your not going to be bored by them. They would compliment your PS3 nicely :)



 

a psp would be more of the dame stuff thats on ps2 and ps3, while the wii and/ or ds have a different experience.

it's really your choice. more of the stuff you know you liked or something new in interesting.



come try out the computer game i've been working on for my high school senior project, titled sling ball. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76669&page=1

you can view a few screenshots from the game in my photo album here; http://www.vgchartz.com/photos/album.php?album=2312

yes, this is vonboy's alt account. i can't log into my original account, and i'm not sure if i will ever be able to.

Wii AND DS, versus just the PSP? No contest, go Nintendo.

Looks like you have a good number of games to interest you in all the systems, so I think you won't be disappointed.

I would recommend adding the WiiWare game "World of Goo" to that list, unless you have it for PC or something.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Wii or DS, you cant go wrong



i would buy a DS over a psp any day, but i dont know if you should buy a wii. but definately a DS.



 

 

 

 

Wii+DS
Definitely




^click the license to level it up! Please, and thanks in advance!

=D

 

Either is worth it on its own, so...

Especially with those massive game lists you want.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

buy a PSP and a DS.

 

DS have:

-Puzzle

-Point and click (PSP dont have point and click with GOOD story like hotel dusk)

-RPG

-Nintendo games (Mario kart, Mario 64 DS, new super mario, Kirby, Yoshi island and soon will have mario tennis), seriously, i love nintendo games, they are fun.

-The best musical games (Ouendan 1 & 2, EBA, etc)

 

 

PSP have:

-Soccer

-Racing games (the DS dont have good racing games, you will need a psp for this)

-Action games

-Fight games (the DS dont have good fight games, you will need a psp for this)

 

will be balanced in this form
