It's a new generation of handheld. Why not complain about how the PS2 is simply a PS1 with updated graphics?
I wasn't a huge PS2 fan, I fancied the Gamecube more those days. I don't think the same comparison can be made between the two systems because the PS2 doesn't rely on a visual gimmick.
The Vita contains hardware features with little to no practical use (A rear touch-pad? What's that for?)
If you've seen someone playing it, it's the same thing as a face touch screen. I think it's better than having my hands block the screen and turn it into a smudgy piece of shit. (Not saying 3DS does that, I'm aware of the pen) It's a small little thing that I think works nice.
and the software that's been shown doesn't take into account that people actually play handhelds in varying light conditions where the screen isn't guaranteed to be easily visible. I'm not sold on the system.
What are you talking about? Who plays their handhelds outside?
It's always nice to be legal~
Like Cue said, emulation =/= illegal.
How does the fact that they're not immediately available diminish their value any? That's like getting onto developers who release a trailer saying the game isn't available yet.
It's meant to be compensation of some sort, correct? I understand porting takes a bit of work (especially when they're adding 3D) but why is it going to take so long to release those games? Games that have already been played by many people?
raging Sony fanboy vs raging Nintendo fanboy gogogo
More like I just think Nintendo's current consoles are piles of junk, and happen to like my PS3 and PSP. (custom firmware'd of course, normal psps do suck) But hey, it's just my opinion...
* Not a Sony fanboy, the PSP sucked balls and the Vita won't do much better.
I think it will certainly fare better. It's already shown to have a decent lineup, and improves upon many features the PSP carried. It even has cross-voice chat (Now why they don't do that to the console is beyond me)
But I don't really want to continue dragging this off-topic with talk of other systems.
The same could be said about every handheld and console...but Nintendo releasing a new ds every year is overdoing it. (I know the 3ds is different but they might release a 3ds lite.)
That's probably why I feel like the 3DS is just a new DS then. Lite was the only sensible upgrade to the original DS IMO. Everything else was just overdoing it.
