Awww, I thought you were just saying you wanted to play animal crossing in england... We can all be big Ol'Nintendo fanboys!! =D

let's see. touch screen below normal screen:
allows for larger monsters, two views of same place, bigger puzzle games, etc., etc., etc.
VOICE RECOGNITION!!!:
"Mario! Jump!"
*Boing*
Better wireless game linking:
*participates in a 64 player PKMN tourney*

Gameboy has been around longer, so if the features don't grow, fanbase won't. PSP can't be compared to an earlier model, so it's standard will be lower.

the only thing I would ever use PSP for would be as a portable DVD player, plus, of course, KH.

I can't think of very many reasons why this would be needed. Anything can be done much easier by just pushing a button. Unless they come out with a game that uses voice as a password or as the whole control of the game, there's really no use for it.

My three favourites things that Ninty unveiled at E3 :

DS!
Animal Crossing DS!
That animal crossing is coming to cube late September 2004!

:D How awesome is that? I also loved the new metroid, link, ect ect ect... :lol:

I'm a Nintendo fangirl if thats alrighty. And a PokeFan to boot. *proudly waves her Gamecube controller around her head*

EDIT: Whats voice recognition for? Think about it. DS has wireless communication capabilities right? Talking to people across the net? Just take your DS to the computer, slam in Paintchat cartridge and away you go, talking and doodling with friends. :D

Well, it is. If you get an import copy. And a freeloader.

I'm all for DS. And I'm the biggest Nintendo fanboy ever. *goes over to his shrine to shigsy*

I can't wait for an F-Zero DS!

They're both gonna be expensive. The DS could be anywhere from $100-250 and the PSP could be $250-600. But I think the people said that you could watch movies on the PSP.


PSP all the way!

A portable DVD player and a DS could end up cheaper...

But that's not a very practical use, nor is it efficient. You would have to use both a computer AND the DS itself to accomplish it in that way (unless they are below a set amount of feet away, 30 was the only given number unless other software was bought). Chatting could more easily be done by just getting on the internet and using a messenger, at least moreso than the one that is provided by the DS. Not to mention that the communication is most likely going to be local, which cuts down the usefulness a lot (unless they're friends from school or in nearby cities). The only thing that would seem to be easier on the DS is drawing on Picto Chat (if that's the same thing as you're thinking). The main use of voice recognition given by Nintendo themselves is to "tell the game where you want it to go" which (as I said before) is more easily done manually. Hopefully they'll come out with some more major uses for this. Don't get me wrong, I would be most likely to get a DS, probably based on selling price and game selection. But I tend to go into great depths to find the usefulness of things that everyone can't seem to stop talking about. Everything else sounds fine (well... except I can't get over the overall design and the inclusion of enough features to make it into an N-Gage, but one that SUCCEEDS... [too many features isn't always a good thing].), but the voice recognition just seems to be something that everyone thinks is "awesome" or "cool", but is something that might not go to good use. While, when even past E3, Nintendo is still trying to do its best to make the DS a surprise, I can't really think otherwise until some new news is released by Nintendo themselves. While this may sound like an "anti-Nintendo" or "Sony Fanboy" post, no one has mentioned the PSP in detail yet, and I'm too lazy to look it up in great detail, so I can't really go into the flaws I see there... All I need is a random Sony Fanboy with too much to say... hehehe

"Random Thought I Had" - While these systems are revolutionary for the hand-held community, just how much can we really improve once hand-helds become mini versions of our televisions? I know there's years to go until this happens, what can we do once we just about reach perfection? Just something to ponder, if you haven't already. :)

This would be the end of the speculations of the horribly monotonous one, please resume.

EDIT: The DS is supposed to be around $150 and the PSP, about $299.

My biggest gripe about the DS is the stylus. My biggest gripe about the PSP is the ultra-low battery life (like three hours!). I'll have to try both of them out, but I agree that with some ingenuity in game making, the DS could be a beautiful thing.

i dont care about what features the DS and PSP have, they were made to play videogames so, thats the important thing ;)
