Dilemna

Should I keep saving my money and get DOA:Ultimate for X-box or should I wait and get a Nintendo DS (which I want on launch day). I get $20 a week, $10 for chores and another $10 if I mow the yard, and I currently have $20. Help would be appreciated

Did you play the other DOA's? Because if you did then you aren't missing much. Just new costumes and online play. I'd get it, but not for 50 bucks.

$50 is too much for DoA:Ultimate. Also, $150 for the DS sounds high to me, but only because there aren't any games on it yet that I'm interested in.

The DS doesn't seem to have a single good launch titlte . . .

Have they even said what games are available at launch? If I knew the games I might be able to make a decision.

Spiderman 2 is the only one I've heard confirmed.

Ugh. Mediocre movie license that will problably be a crappy port of the NGage game, the PS2/Xbox/GC game - or a bizarre hybrid mix of both.

I suppose they'll be announcing the launch line-up at this DS press conference deal they're having in a couple weeks. Hopefully there will be some surprises in there. I'm amazed how little we know about this thing when it is so close to launch!

If Nintendo even wants the DS have a chance to come out on top of the PSP, they'd better have some interesting, original titles out before the PSP arrives. After all, original games is about all the DS can have going for it when competing against the substantially more powerful but far too port-burdened PSP.

Having nothing but ports certainly hasn't hurt the GBA's popularity...

Well, there have been SOME original titles, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. :P But on the other hand, the GBA had zero competition. Plus, they're ports of games that are often around a decade old, so they'll be new to a large chunk (maybe even the majority) of GBA owners. I think. The average owner of a GBA is still only around 12 or 13, right?

But I look at the PSP, and what do I see? Ports of games I played last year. Blah!

Damn, Nintendo is really sucking ass right now.

I haven't played DOA because of my lack of an X-Box, but if what the other guys said was true, maybe you should stick to the DS, but I can't really see any decent games out for it yet.

I've always thought the DOA series was pretty crappy, gameplay-wise. But the titanic amounts of fan service it... um, serves, more than makes up for it's shitty, mash-happy fighting engine. Not that I've been counting or anything, but probably 1 out of every 20 wank-a-thons of mine are dedicated to some DOA doujinshi. Damn, that's pathetic.

Anyway, I'm getting a DS for sure at launch. You should all know my reasons by now.

Well, I got DOA3 for $20, and I thought that was worth it, but yeah, from videos I've seen of DOA:Ultimate it does'nt look like they add much gameplay wise besides online play. You know, I think I'm going to get a DS, on launch day hopefully, and sure, It does'nt quite look like there are any REAL good games for it yet, but it seems a lot of systems are that way at launch, so I'm going to take my chances.
