» Damn!

That's more then twice the number of PSP titles for the DS. Times like these do make me wonder if those trolls are right, though I still have quite the backlog even without more titles being announced to get through so I guess it really doesn't matter so much.

» You also have to look at two of those DS games being ports

Chrono Trigger and Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon - Tokiwasure no Meikyuu DS+.



Chrono Trigger can be ported one of two ways onto the PSP. Chocobo Dungeon seems to be a port of the Wii title with pathetic graphics. What the hell is up with these GBA graphics? I mean the DS is capable of quality almost as good as the N64 and better than the PSX, so why not make it look atleast as good as the original Chocobo Dungeon or Chocobo Dungeon 2?



Doesn't matter though. If I want the definitive "Mysterious Dungeon" crawler(Chunsof t games.) I'm going to play either Chocobo Dungeon 2, Torneko the Last Hope, or Azure Dreams(though Azure Dreams is not by Chunsoft.)

» Also...

Quality over Quantity dude. Notice how all PSP titles are going to have PS2 level graphics and animation while the DS titles are mostly GBA level.



SE is playing some sneaky developing game with their titles. Mainly, if something has lower-end graphics they no longer bother to port it on a very high-end system.



In any case just look at the psp titles: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy XIII, Dissidia. These three alone are enough to triumph over the DS titles. The only remotely interesting DS titles to me are Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest anyway. Rest are meh.

» hmm..

Was I the only one to notice THE BIGGEST lineup for mobile announced at a time by Squeenix (5)? Its good since I have an Iphone, but this may mean that the prediction was right, and im sure the two wars coders jumping platforms to iphone has to mean something as well......Only things im lookin forward to are dissidia and complete for bluray
