I agree andy, I think you have to be 16+ to enjoy a xbox/PS3

and under to enjoy nintendo stuff other than for a couple of days.

Nintendo is for people who hate games!

That's a silly thing to say, Nintendo's the daddy of Gaming. Without such games as Final Fantasy 1-6 on the Snes you wouldn't have your Oblivion. Games like Contra and Metroid helped shape the action genre while Zelda and Mario are the forefathers of the Adventure and Platformer genres.

Granted recently there's been a heavy focus on Casual gaming but that doesn't mean there's no good games. For the Wii you've got games like Madworld, No More Heroes, House of the Dead Overkill if you want more adult games.

The DS also has a fair few with games such as Dementium, Resident Evil and GTA Chinatown wars.

If Nintendo's so terrible why did Ps3 copy motion controls with the sixaxis? Why are Microsaft bringing out a motion controller? Xboxs and Ps3's aren't exactly mature consoles either, have you ever heard of Viva Pinata? The Maw? Little Big Planet? Singstar?

There's no such thing as a bad console, only bad games.

I got some new DS games today, I've had:

Super Mario 64 DS
Phoenix Wright
Castlevania: Order of Ecclessia

Phoenix Wright is great, at points you have to talk to your DS and it's very addictive. Mario seems quite cool although they've changed the start at least from what I've played. I've only briefly tested the new Castlevania as i'm still playing through The prior one. It seems very interesting though.

My friend wanted one, I don't see the point of them to be honest, you get a crappy camera, lose the GBA slot (Without it you can't play GBA games or Guitar Hero or any games that use addons in that slot) and a bit of itnernet access.

I'll stick with the lite.

But I am interested to hear people's thoughts on it.

Anyone brought a DSi yet?
I need a new DS after my DSlite broke but I don't know whether its worth putting the extra money and get a DSi

[BigSister]

Don't bother! Maybe if your under the age of 12 then yeah buy one, but if over that age then go for the PSP 3000!

Do you have a xbox 360?
Do you have a PLAYSTATION 3?

I have a Xbox 360 and sometimes play on my brothers PS3
I'm not buying another PSP, its an awful console which I just can't get into whereas I can get into the DS games even though they are worse quality and for more casual gamers
I need a DS, I will get me one, just haven't decided which version yet

[Tom4784]

Likwise I own a Xbox 360, a Wii and a PSP. I love the games I have for the PSP but the choice is rather limited while the DS has a lot more publishers supporting it. There's a lot of casual games but you can not belittle the quality of the real games for the system.

Anyone got Another Code for DS or Wii. I;m searching for it on Wii but cant get my hands on it.

There are tons of under 16s on xbox live, which is one of the reasons I never use voice chat because there are too many kids swearing. The 360 also has a lower average age than the Wii. It usually shows on forums too, with most of the kids posting things like 'teh Wii Sux, 360 rulez!' and 'itz not a propa gamez console'.

The average age for a Wii owner is reported to be around 35.

I'm over 35, have had my Wii since launch and I play it more than my 360.

People often generalize, label Nintendo as 'kiddy' and think having a 360/PS3 makes them cool. It really doesn't though, owning a Wii makes you cooler because you are more likely to play with real friends, plus girls love playing Wii, where as the 360 owner is likely to be sitting alone in his bedroom having a bitching session with a 14 year old boy.

Have you tried Play? Or Gamestation, if there's one near you. They often have hard to find games.
