I was just at Wal Mart, and I saw the DS Lite! I also read the Nintendo Power Magazine there, and it said it was supposed to be released today! Yay! The DS Lite is now out!
...I agree with you, but I know a bit of why people (like me) buy the, what I like to call, "the re-runs".Bulerias said:I'm still having trouble understanding how remakes of handhelds, like the DS Lite, sell so phenomenonly well, at least in Japan. I mean, look at the Gameboy Advance SP; I believe that it sold more than the normal Gameboy Advance, and people that owned the normal GBA bought an SP... The same thing is happening with the DS Lite. People in Japan who already had a normal DS fought others to get their hands on a Lite... I don't know, this is kind of beyond me.
I understand that Nintendo is making these remakes because they sell so well, but I think they should at least improve the hardware somewhat. The brightness levels aren't worth another $130, in my opinion, if you own a normal DS. If the person who's getting a Lite doesn't own a normal DS, then that's fine... But I really don't understand how people can be hyped over basically the same system with a few tweaks when they already have the same system; it just looks differently.
Perhaps if Nintendo added a built-in Opera browser into the DS Lite then maybe it would be worth that money, although that's still debatable... I hope Nintendo doesn't continue to remake their handhelds without any hardware changes...
I know that I'm not getting a DS Lite because I already have a normal DS, and I don't see why I should spend another $130 on basically the same thing, with just a few cosmetic changes...
Pokemon is a game, sytems are different. You can be a big time Pokemon fan, but it's practically impossible to be a "system" fan. See you don't even use the word system fan. It's not natural...Xemnas said:...I agree with you, but I know a bit of why people (like me) buy the, what I like to call, "the re-runs".Bulerias said:I'm still having trouble understanding how remakes of handhelds, like the DS Lite, sell so phenomenonly well, at least in Japan.

Because eventually, everyone will have them. Then the people who don't have them are going to want them too. Thats the way I see it.
Another example is the Pokemon Crystal and Pokemon Emerald versions. They are both re-runs of the previous games. Well, what can we say? Nintendo likes Re-runs. :wacko:
But I completely understand your way of thinking Bul, and PKMN.
Oh jeez, I agree with you too, Odd.OddCrazyMe said:But like they said at E3 they want to take risks.
Also Bul the Sp was a big step forward due to the fact that you could actually see due to the built in light. The worm lights for the GBA was really annoying. Now the DS Lite isn't just all about the Lightness. It has a few more hours exteneded, better graphics, already charged when you buy it unlike the Regular DS and also the Lite is re-arranged for everyones convience.
Well of course you wouldn't be a system fan you would be a Nintendo fan. But you do have a point PKMN.PKMNMasterSamus said:Pokemon is a game, sytems are different.

Not true. A Nintendo fanboy just has to be a big fan. You don't need to have a remake of a system. Why in the first place did they release a DS, when they were releasing a Lite later on? Nintendo should stop and start making new systems.Xemnas said:@PKMN- Its not really a "system fan"...I guess in a way its more like an "overly overly overly obsessed Nintendo Fan" :lol:
Uhhh...PKMN, I know that a Nintendo fanboy just has to be a big fan. Thats why I said "overly overly overly obsessed Nintendo fan". For instance, they are so obsessed that they buy every system and every game Nintendo ever releases.PKMNMasterSamus said:Not true. A Nintendo fanboy just has to be a big fan.
