Last Christmas (I think Christmas 06′) I had the dilemma of every person that was looking on the handheld market for a new portable console, the DS or the PSP? After deciding to go with the DSLite, I felt I made a mistake, and before even opening it, I quickly went to Wal-Mart and returned it to buy a PSP. I regretted that decision within a week.However, soon after discovering homebrew – I felt a little better, the PSP’s library offered me nothing I was interested in, but it was cool to be able to play Final Fantasy Tactics and VII on the go. The novelty wore off and I realized I’d rather just play them on a TV and Playstation. I looked into getting some SNES games on their but maybe I was/am a complete n00b because the SNES games ran buggy as hell.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago. I bought a DSLite (again), with it I got Super Mario 64 DS and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. I can’t put the damn thing down – it’s just plain fun. I don’t know why, but Nintendo seems to have the magic formula for handheld systems. The games aren’t super epic, just something I can pick up on the fly and have a lot of entertaining, time killing goodness that the PSP just didn’t seem to offer. I’m sure this whole rant is cliche by now though.
Anyways, never second doubt yourself (never should’ve made that trip back to Wally-world).
PS. Notice how shiny and new looking the PSP is after a year…
