Without explaining details, I could see this go sideways so badly. I hope I’m not right.

Interesting, thank you!

Since I’m no Zelda fan there was no pain there (although I collected the games for my collection). I have fond memories of all 3 DS Castlevania games.

I do recall the tacked on stylus rune crap but that didn’t leave any lasting impression. Still, I agree!

Prime hunters as well as Mario 64 have crap control, full stop. At that point I’m even more angry at the 3DS for getting analogue control (with ‘new’) and then not using it! (kid icarus)

Anyhow, thank you for elaborating.

Thanks for explaining!

I felt the same way about the Wii. Several games that would be great are almost unplayable for be because of this and at the least unenjoyable which defeats the purpose.

So Wii… Yeah. At that time I always feared Nintendos next gimmick.

But why the DS? I thought there are enough games that are not gimmicky annoying.

Without going into too much detail I would be interested in examples (and possibly go ‘hey yeah that was bad!’).

Seconded

Thanks, you put it better than I can.

Hm, I don’t like getting laughed at but still apologies for the misunderstanding. Would love to show you my collection 🤷

I mean, at the time it was not a competition at first. I loved the gba, then the gba sp even more.

And when the DS (grey first model) came out, imo the games were a dry spell for at least a year!

Anyhow, given the opportunity I would love to bring you closer to the DS games catalogue and I am very convinced I could bring you to change your mind.

Most times I’ve seen the DS being massively underestimated is because of not being aware of the massive amounts of gems of games there are, just a few popular ones and lots and lots of shovelware (akin to Wii) which e.g. we in Germany had in the stores. That selection sucked mostly!

Yes indeed. However as a beginner I think it’s far easier just to install and run a daemon. But maybe that’s just me. And of course if the intended way of running it is only container by default.

I’m well aware that it’s an arm7 device and hence different. However what it was directed at and done with it resulted in being as I said.

Vrally some other games do impressive things, I agree.

Ah crap that’s what I get for not being native English. But still, correct somehow.

I’d recommend not to go containerized but that can start a flame war. I would think it easier. But best to stick to the recommended beginner tutorial that someone else posted and go along from there.

Then ask questions on the way.

If you have systems or services you’re dependant so strongly, always have an backup / emergency access. 3rd party or self hosted.

My 5c but I think you agree.

Point being as a decades old it professional I see design more important as the detail implementation.

I have a lot of nostalgia for it and it’s 2 (3 if we count switch 2) generations gone, so yeah 😁

Hehe 😁

Well technically yes you can emulate the graphics.

But then they’re rasterized so it’ll never appear the same.

Technicalities but I couldn’t resist. 😁

Really? I thought it objectively clear it’s the DS.

The gba is a little too much a remade snes and features many games of the like, nevertheless still a very good device.

However, the DS is spectacular in comparison imo. A far better library (over its lifetime - the first year was bad). Classic games, touch games and a huge slew of RPG and starts of great series.

I agree. (except for the obvious of course, that a lot think different)

It’s painful to watch. And aware it’s always been far worse for you. I’m sorry. You lost the birth lottery (edit to make it clearer: in the eyes of some assholes).

(I did too in biological ways critically btw, but I still ‘enjoy’ the German health system and white privilege)

As a German, on the contrary, it was blindingly obvious. Starting with your massive(ly overblown) patriotism. No insult intended.

I came here to make sure outrun 2006 is mentioned. Try it!

(Also SC2, Burnout and Gradius V but I saw those mentioned)
