What were you saying about the DS having what other companies dont?
In fact, the psp does things that the DS could never hope to do, they are making a complete media entertainment system that is mobile, and that can run an advanced OS, and completely moddable for homebrew and game emulation.
So saying that nintendo is doing things the other companies dont is insinuting that the other companies have nothing unique on the table. It can also be said, sony is doing things nintendo isnt doing, to the same effect. Those unique games you mentioned have been done before, nintendogs, brainage... its not new at all. Sadly i think its pathetic how easily influenced children are, .
Honestly though, the nintedogs is pathetic. It's a target for those children who think its cool to watch a virtual dog and poke him with a stick. Thats not gaming nor intelligent gaming. The Brain game has been done before, it was aimed at older folks who are not interested in normal video gaming. Again, the japanese know how to manipulate the japanese market, but they will not have as much sway outside of japan. The DS is not the game boy, the gameboy is dead.

Again this is why I said nintendo has had a monopoly on the hand held market. People dont really feel they have options when it comes to a hand held device, but thats starting to change. Better hardware = better game potential = better product only if games are using that potential.
DS games are over rated, most people who give them to much credit have not played psp games, which are quite and very eye catching. Again, Nintendo has some major competition coming up, with micrsosoft and sony enterting the hand held arena. These companies have shown they have the power to change the tides so to speak.

lol its true. But you have to realize these games are free and made by the PSP mod/indy game community. The psp is an open ended system, meaning anyone that wants to make a game for it can. The ps3 is the same. You can make programs or games for just about anything on the psp. Endless possibilities and new content all the time.
like in the ssb psp game, you can even download or make your own characters by taking the sprites from your favorite old school games and putting them into the game itself. I know there is a community that adds and programs those new characters into the game, like sonic, tails, ..ect

The problem with this is that the wiimote has already maxed out its potential. It is in fact, very limited because its is only an input device. That input device relies on the actual game system for what it can and cannot do. Meaning, the Wii as a system, because it is not powerful, because it does not use better hardware, is therefore limited by what it can do with that wiimote. Remember, if the cpu cannot process that much information, how can we expect it to really utilize the input that is being fed in from the wiimote? Thats the Wii's achilles heel. The problem with not offering good hard ware, lack of power, means that very little can be done. Power isnt just graphics, its over all processing. How much can go on at any given time, how much feedback can it take, can it do all this at once...ect
The wiimote itself needs to be perfected as well. It is very basic in nature, and sadly limits a games potential. Meaning you either have one style game or you dont. The same goes with generic controller games. In my opinion both types are needed, and sony is testing it out in one controller. To be fair though, we have pretty much seen all there is to see with the wiimote unless nintendo developes a more powerful system that can actually take advantage of the wiimotes input. Did you know you can use the wiimote on a ps3 and PC?
