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.
I've said it once and I'll say it again the (to soon be) £50 GBA system that plays simple games will win the handheld war.
DS will test the waters for Revolution. Sony will just have some high end gadget for gadget geeks to own.
They may be all high-and-mighty with their PlayStations and world-wide unbeatable success in the sales' charts, but do they not realise how hard people are laughing right back at them with the DIRE battery life of the PSP?!
I don't see how this will affect people's choice if they really want one, though. And I can see the DS winning this battle with comfort in the same way Nintendo handhelds have almost always done, simply for the games on-show, as opposed to those of the PSP.
But how can you slate something you haven't even played?
You said it yourself - you've only seen the screenshots of certain games.
Yes, it is a "new console". But, it is still only a hand-held, dedicated to a new ways of interaction with games.
What, were you expecting something that would surpass the X-Box, here??
Anyway, if you want to knock something simply for its appearences, take a look at everyone's faourite, the PS2. While it has sold by the articulate lorry-load, you have to admit that even the "puny" GameCube puts it to bed in the graphics department!
Muuuuuuuuuh.

It appears to me that it's a typo of "Dire"
And he was going for "Dire System"
He's just typo-ed it.
