In your opinion, if you could only afford to get one for now (PSP or DS) which would you buy?

I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and buy one of these 2 handhelds, and I want my first game to be a Castlevania game.

Based on that, which system would you recommend?

OMG DS!!! from my point of view.. is a handheld that all CVfan should have.

I had the same question last december I think it was... and based on the fact that the game I wanted to play was CV..

Why I end up getting a DS? and no a psp.

1. DS has 2 CV games. (And now there is one more on the go)

2. You can play all the GBA Cv games. (I did not had a GBA)

3. I own a ps2 and I have SotN there.

That said, I bought CV DXC either way and borrow a psp to play it :P

NOTE: to those that want to help him to decide, pls DO NOT turn this into system wars (remember that CUU do not support this). Thx. And based your answer on CV, no others games/features. Balance the CV games on psp and ds, which game you think make X system more worth than the other. Sorry Conjuration, for a non-cv fan point of view you would need psp/ds/war system boards. I know you know this bc you are asking considering CV as ou 1st game to play, just to remind the guys/gals do not flame me :oops: :D

PSP: 1 Castlevania Game (AMAZING.. but thus only 1)
DS: 6 (Circle, Harmony, Aria, Dawn, Portrait, and CV1)

The choice is pretty obvious. :P

Conver

it would be more on the lines of two, the Rondo Blood one, original an 2.5, and SotN. since i never had a ps1, i missed out on it but was happy to play it on psp

but still, DS does have more titles, which means more stories to soak up

Definitley the DS. Look at the lineup and there is no question. it is just sheer numbers. quality over Quantity? no. because castlevania is castlevania, quality means nothing for they are all great therefor quanity would reign supreme. go for the DS is what i am trying to say.

true about SotN.. but I guess it all depends if he can find it for ps2 (which he has).. it can be found in ebay, thus it may get pricy depending on his luck..

I honestely were so hyped about DXC no bc SotN but bc RoB, after all it was the 1st time that game hit this shores (NA) and I think also 1st time for EU...

Conjuration... any other question?? has we help/answer you doubt??

yeah, i never had a ps1...so i missed out on SotN. an when i saw DXC at gamestop...it was love at first sight. i did play the rondo one before(i dunno where, but i remembered the first part of the game on the carrigae). an it took me awhile but i figured out how to unlock SotN...i loved it.

originally, my first CV title, was CV adventures on Gameboy, thats right, the BRICK. but i loved it ever since. so handhelds plus CV equals good times

So what you want is for Castlevania to be worse than Superman 64?

DJ what??

He is just saying: that when you pick up a system you look:

1. Quality of games.

2. Quantaty of games.

And that all castlevania have quality, so in going DS vs PSP (bc both system have CV with quality) he should go to #2 and pick the one that has more games.

I didn't get scared away. lol But yea, you guys did help. It's going to be a DS for me. SotN is my favourite CV game, so that's what made my decision a little difficult. But as that one person pointed out, it can be downloaded on 360, so that completely eliminated PSP. BTW, i don't have a 360 either, but hmmm...has anyone heard if SotN is (or will be) available for PS3? Does PS3 even have a service to download games?

Yes, SOTN is actually available for PS3, via Playstation Store download service. I think it costs $10.

fortunately, i dont think i had a glitch.

but overall i was happy that it had SotN, since i missed it on the original ps. an now, i really ish they did this with some other cv titles, but if im not mistaken, that will have a more arcade approach where SotN started the rpg element

Just to say it:

I had SotN when it first came out. Then someone stole it about 6 months later.
I repurchased it. Borrowed it to my friend a few months later...and he lost it.
So maybe my best option is to download it anyway. ;p
Watch my console go missing...lol

Note: I don't own a PS3 yet either. But I've decided to get one very soon.

omg, yea.. do not get the original one is about 50US$ and it would pry fly away tru your window :?... and about teh underline part.. :lol: :lol:

good called about the ps3.. i`m doing the same.. I think it was a smart decition of me getting the console the order I did... wii then ps3.. in fall the couple would be completed :P

Anyway.... I think that I can close this topic now... lets us know when you get the DS and if you like it as much as I (we) think you will. :D

For more general gaming talk in CUU go here, where you can talk about any game/any console exc system wars of course. :)
