"Nintendo RIP"
Posts: 35
What is going on with Nintendo I thought that after all these years of fobbing us off with inferior tripe that was graphically no better than a SNES game they have managed to pull it off again.

I have seen screens of Mario DS, some really ropey Ngage racer port and of the Ridge Racer game and they are shocking, no textures, blocky graphics and
no better than a first gen PS1 game.

Having seen a comparison between the DS ridge racer game and PSP ridge racer game there is only one your are gonna want to play on and it ain't the one with the gimmicey stylus.

Nintendo DS stands the (Dier System), this console was realised and produced in a year and it shows.

Well, without going into the for and against of each machine, I would say that I think PSP will be more popular, and thats bad news for Nintendo. For years, the fall from grace of their "full size" consoles has left the hand-held Nintendo keeping the bank balance in the black. Take that market away from them, and Nintendo could be in a spot of trouble.

Maybe Microsoft would like to buy Nintendo?

But, seriously, that would be even worse. No 3rd alternative in the market place.

Perhaps Nintendo could go into make-up accessories to one of the screens out and put a mirror in the other one and there you go. It would still feel a bit cheap.

It appears to me that it's a typo of "Dire"

And he was going for "Dire System"

He's just typo-ed it.

Whereas PSP will be a handheld completely over-run by original and inventive new titles...

Muuuuuuuuuh.
