Anyone feel the DS is more fun than all the consoles this gen?

Just wondering if anyone else felt this way. I'm always finding tons of great games on the DS that look like a lot of fun, and as great as they look, most of the console games just don't seem a lot of fun to me. Maybe it's because we have too many FPS games, I dunno. The DS just seems to have so much variety and has many RPGs.

Just wondering if anyone felt that way.

This is the first gen where I had alot of Handheld games. But I like both Handhelds and Consoles equally.

I do.

It has the most AAAe of all the consoles

and easily one of the most creative, and original libraries ever with a ton of variety in the genres.

I generally don't consider one console (handheld or home) more fun than any other. It comes down to the individual games.

going to have to disagree, love my brain age but the DS lacks any real good shooters

Yes.

Nope!.. DS is a good handheld tho i dont use it a lot but will be playing it soon due to kingdom hearts coming.. not like the psp, for me its Consoles>>>psp>>>DS

I agree, the only thing this gen is about is graphic.

I don't own any console right now but when i do i will only buy WiiWare, xboxlive and psn games because i feel those game or more original.

Yes, the DS is king, it is going to be hard for any gaming console to ever take it's spot with some of the crazy numbers it seems to pull out.

The absence of good 3d adventure games and western RPGs keeps me from agreeing.

It is the best behind the PC. Where the hell is Bowser's Inside Story review?OreoMilkshake

Good question.

nope, handhelds standards are pretty low compared to consolesGiancar

LOL, no.

Maybe not MORE fun than consoles, but the DS does have a truly amazing library and I spend way more time on it then I did with previous handhelds.

nah imo i find DS to be highly overrated both technically and in its games library.. for me all systems i own are better than the DS but i do believe DS has much to offer otherwise it wouldnt have sold so many units..

This. Though it seems like the DS has had the steadiest stream of great games out of all hand helds and consoles.

PC/DS>Wii/360/Ps3>>>>>>>>>psp

I'm finding it a lot harder to enjoy rpgs on a console (besides Tales of Vesperia, which was awesome). There are hardly any on the Wii anyway.

DS is pretty awesome. I've never had such a good time with a handheld system.

This. People just get overhyped with handheld games mostly because of the scores the games get, when it is basically a standards thing. Just like some people are starting to overhyped the Iphone because of the scores the games get in some sites like IGN.

I really like the DS and I've enjoyed mine quite a bit, but I do prefer home consoles.

The reason it has more AAAE games than any other system is because standards for Handheld games are massively different.

I have been gaming for years and years and I have NEVER liked portable gaming. Never will until the day I get a laptop that can play games. I simply cant stand looking at small screens and using the cumbersome controls.

Kingdom hearts

Yes.

Hell no! I practically never touch my DSi (unless I want to use the Flipnote app). Too many RPG, strategy, and family-friendly games. Not nearly enough straight-forward action games, or games that are geared towards teens and adults. So many games, yet a suprising lack of variety. That, and I never really forgave Nintendo for lying when the claimed that the DS would be geared mor towards teens and young adults until the system came out. What I saw was more of the same kiddie games that were already done on the GBA, only with better graphics and the use of a touch screen. I'm very dissapointed with the DS. I regret buying one.

I play my PC by far the most, and my PSP second.

It has the best games and alot of variety so yes

It has a huge variety of the pretty much the same types of games, and if you don't happen to like those kind of games, you're out of luck.

I agree, DS games seem to be the best. I will have 80 by the beginning of America's October which is oddly the tenth month of the year.

The DS has fewer action game but it is one of the few systems that is abundant of platformers.
