As far as I'm concerned in terms of videogames, the only difference between a PSP and a cellphone is that one has a numeric keypad permanently attached.Quote:

I'm confused, these companies put even less effort into Cellphones than they do the PSP and DS. The ones you just mentioned are all Cellphone correct? AKA we completely agree that Cellphones are a horrible platform. The Wii and DS are steps above it, because they at least tried for some creativity. I'm not saying they're perfect, and that they aren't hurting gaming at all, because they are a bit.Quote:

e: you really shouldn't lump the Wii and DS together. The difference between a given cellphone and DS game is minimal. The difference between either and a Wii game is wide.
I just still find it amusing how people in general can so easily scorn and demonize cellphones while loving a DS. To me, they're the same thing. I really do wish people would shit on the DS as much as they do these games.
Cellphones are too awkward to enjoy playing while a DS is comfortable. If cellphones offered an experience equal to DS, I would buy one to play games.Quote:

DS: Gives life to some series (Gunstar Heroes and Contra), open your eyes, if it weren't for portables 2D would probably be completely dead, instead they're mulling around in the Retirement home for a few extra years, sucking the funds and life out of you. The DS is crippling games like FFIV that could be sooo much better in beautiful Square CG.
Cellphones: Does what the DS except drastically limits the market, lacks standardization, even worse graphics (generally) and steals just as much as the DS or PSP if not moreso, this is actually the wake where you get to view your favorite franchises before they're buried.
Edit: Also controls suck on a cellphone and the screen is worse.
Were people this upset about Symphony of the Night being slated to come out on "Game.com"?
Who gives a shit?
i kinda wish they'd leave ff4 alone. i don't wanna know what happens after. dear god don't let them make a 6 after.
