Dear Nintendo DS Lite:

I love the fact that you are smaller in size yet have bigger screens than the original DS. But why oh why are your Start and Select buttons so SMALL? On the original DS, I could press them no problem. On you, they’ve been reduced to tiny round nubs that my soft thumb can’t push in; I have to use the edge of my fingernail to push them. This makes it extremely difficult to effectively play games that require quick presses of one of these buttons, like switching to missiles in Metroid Zero Mission, or quickly pausing to use a healing item in the middle of a heated boss battle in games like Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow.

But, I still love you, DS Lite, because I can play both DS and GBA games on you with a backlighted screen. If only you were backward compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games too…..

Sincerely,
Your gamer friend.

That was cute, but I agree. As someone with big hands, those two buttons proved to be a challenge a few times.

Sony really slowed down on taking creative risks during the PS3 era. Not that they're bad games, but so many of them seamlessly blended in with whatever was popular in third party games of the time. With a few exceptions, namely Folklore but also 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Ni no Kuni which later went multi-plat being second party along with the Souls games. They've improved since then. IMO, taking more risks with the Vita, and of course later the PS4 (Gravity Rush, Knack, Hozion Zero Dawn, Last Guardian, etc.)

Those kinds of offerings were few and far between on PS3... it was more like "here's our grey and brown shooter, here's our zombie survival game, here's our tomb raiding game, here's our super hero game", and so on. I'm sure they're great games, but they just didn't strike a chord with me seeing how there was so much already going on within those genres at the time. Never got me excited enough to buy a console.

As someone who purchased a PSP that was needing a replacement battery in recent years, I've yet to play it. One of these days I'll be able to close the battery cover successfully....

I agree. While it's obviously much too early to comment on the PlayStation 5, I'm of the opinion that the PlayStation 3 is the worst home console from Sony for this exact reason.

If i had to pick favourites Gamecube is the no1 perfection

best controller of all time aswell there is a reason why Nintendo reprints these even in the current era ;D




- What I don't like about the GBA DS?

best handheld consoles of all time don't fix it if it ain't broke

RPG heavy, if you want anything else it's a poor man's console with mostly shitty console ports of realistic games. Also what are non rpg exclusives when you take away all them console/arcade ports.

Gimmick games like wii sports  :P
