Nintendo: Stop redesigning your handheld consoles!


Releasing another handheld design every year or so is ANNOYING. You buy one, and a better version is released a short time in the future. Not cool.

In my opinion, practically every feature the DSi is bringing (except maybe the online store) is something that should have been in the original DS:

Volume buttons > Slider (I've ALWAYS wanted volume buttons)
Light adjustment/toggle button > No button
Internet > Worse internet
SD card slot > No SD card slot.

There is a limit to how many times you can keep releasing the same system, god dammit! It's really frustrating me.

Because they don't do it as much and I don't really care anyway because I'm not interested in a PSP.

From Nintendo...

DestinyGuy: SHADDUP!

While I do think it can get somewhat excessive... eh. A rehash every two or three years isn't much of a stretch. Just don't buy them if you don't want them.

Because they don't do it as much? Let's see to that, shall we?

Nintendo has the DS, the DS Lite, and now the DSi. Total of 3

Sony has the PSP-1000, PSP Slim, and now the PSP-3000. Total of 3.

Pikaby's right. Who really cares, DG?

My main motive for getting one was to replace my run-down old Phat. It's nearly 4 years old and starting to show its age. Dead pixels all over the top screen and a rechargeable battery that lasts only around 3 hours of play time.

My blocky blue DS's top screen doesn't even work, which is why I bought a DS Lite.

I agree with DG.

I had one of those. It was just a smaller (but still only slightly smaller than a GB color) version of the regulah GB.

I went straight from the huge brick that was the Game Boy to a GBC. No Pocket for me.

I never even had an original Gameboy - just a pocket. It was dark green and pretty awesome.

Then I got a Gameboy Color, which was lime green and also awesome.

Then I didn't get a GBA. Then I got a red DS Phat in the Mario Kart DS bundle.

I got my silver phat at launch. I broke it, though.

I started with a GBC, moved to a GBA SP, **** on the GB Micro, bought a blue DS Phat (which later **** itself), now I have a black DS Lite (and part of the hinge on it is broken).

I also never had a GB, just a pocket. Didn't really have any games worth crap for it though. Next, I mooched off people who had GBC's and later GBA's. Than moved on to GBA SP, which brought me out of the stone age. Then DS phat. And that's where I am now.

I only bought my DS Lite because my DS Phat broke. The DSi is rather different, and my DS Lite has a broken hinge on it, so why not.

Phats are sturdier than the Lites. You don't hear as many complaints about broken hinges and broken shoulder buttons from people who own a Phat.

Well, my DS Phat broke a hinge and the top screen doesn't work. My DS Lite has a broken hinge and nothing's different.

I've had my Phat for so long and it's still functional. MY cousin has just bought a Lite for a little over a year and already his L button isn't working, both hinges are loose and won't hold the screen properly.
