Man! To hell with saving whenever you want and being able to pick up a game at pretty much any point! Also a lack of drawn out retarded storylines! Fucking Clown Shoes.

What's wrong with "portable" games on a "portable"?

I thought this was clear by now, but apparently not. When I say "portable" games, I mean specific genres and compromises that are tailor made for portable systems, e.g. games that are designed to be digestible in 5 minute spurts. As a general rule, I can't stand the end product when it is designed to be played in that manner. I want console-style games that happen to be on portable hardware. That is the differentiation I am trying to make when I say "portable" games. In other words, every game that runs on a PSP or DS is not a "portable" game. The two PSP GTAs are good examples of the contrary, although they are neutered by the lack of a second analog stick, which gets back to my reason for being interested in a potential MS system.

[YellerDog]

That is a strange thing to want.

No. We got you perfectly the first time.

It's a major problem on systems which are designed to be digestible in five minute spurts. Also, I would like for my car to be outfitted for space travel.

I don't think it's too much to ask that the systems either have good d-pads or dual analogs. The PSP and DS both fail in both categories.

Yoshi wants a Sega Nomad.

I personally think portable gaming is a different format with different needs in the same way arcade gaming and computer gaming are.

It isn't.

[kingoffighters]

Yoshi doesn't want a Nomad since it doesn't have dual analog.

Exactly. I bought one of those day one and would do the same for a 21st Century one.
