We pretend that it's 2004

We pretend that it's 2004.

The DS is NEVER going to take off.

It only as powerful as an N64. We all know how shitty the N64 was.

why the fuck do we even need 2 screens? this is virtual boy tier shit

>It's never going to take off
Who the fuck said this back in 2004? It's a fucking Game Boy with two screens, one of them a touch screen, with a fully playable Metroid Prime game. How the FUCK could anybody think the DS wasn't going to do well?

>He never played Mario Party, mario Kart, or Smash Bros

Confirmed for never having a girlfriend

I can't wait to be born in 2 years and browse pol in 11 years!

"Man nintendo said that they are having this different from the 'Game Boy' line! So while it can play GBA games, it'll not mean it'll be replacing the Game Boy! I can't wait till the newest Game Boy comes out!"
I wish i still had the IRC logs from back then of people legit posting like this...

I don't remember anything from 2004 because I was 5.

Bullshit OP, the next 2D Metroid alone will justify the Nintendo DS's existence.

No user. It's Nintendo's third pillar console. Just an experiment. It'll be fazed out and the regular Gameboy line will continue on.

>Top screen on a hinge so you can adjust your view to a comfortable level
>Most games display on the bottom screen instead

fucking why?

I can't believe people believed that. Ninty said the same thing about the DS when the Switch was new so I fear the worst for it.

>He thinks 2D Metroid is alive

Dude, Prime IS Metroid now. Nintendo is going to be pumping those games out like no tomorrow.

No, I'm waiting for Metroid 5. Nintendo will make it for the DS.

To be fair GBA had a lot of great games in 2005-7 before it finally died.

Drill Dozer
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Gunstar Super Heroes
Mario Tennis Power Tour
Mother 3
Mega Man Zero 4
WarioWare: Twisted
Super Robot Wars J/2
Mother 3
Final Fantasy IV-VI Advance
Rhythm Tengoku

And a few others I totally forget. Not a huge lineup, but there was stuff there for three years after the DS came out.

Half life 2 is such an amazing game, hope they might a third one.

*might make

NINTENDOOM

Same, I still remember owning that piece of shit phat DS though.

PSP is where it's at until the Super Game Boy comes out in like 2008

A lot of people, including me, did. The PSP came the same year. It was a LOT more impressive than the DS. It was like they took my PS2 and put it on a handheld. At the same time, the NDS didn't even look like an N64. It looked like the PS1. Nintendo was pushing for the three pillar idea, which never happened, so I waited for the GBA 2

Man the DS was so ugly.

>sony gameboy

Shit's never going to take off. They can't possibly put a Final Fantasy game on there and what other support do they have other than junk on the playstation? Can it play tekken? I fucking doubt it. Meanwhile the DS will SMASH the fucking sony handheld, i bet the majority of japanese consumers will have a DS and only a small portion will have the sony's GAYBOY

The reviews on xplay I remember were super negative, until Kirby there wasn't much in the way of original and good games for it and that was a good ways in to it's life.

The e3 2004 model is way better

Who's hyped for Prime 2?
