for me, that new castlevania might make me buy a DS, if it's not coming to PSP ..

It will not come to PSP, the producer told in an interview, just because the PSP audience is assumed to reject anything not 3D.

Errr so Darkstalkers (or whatever the name is) at launch was a dream?

PSP can produce amazing 2D, it would be a waste to only release 3D games on it.

symphony of the night2 .. drool
That was "Aria of Sorrow". :p The DS Castlevania is a sequel do that.

By the way, does anyone else here think that NFSU2's art direction sucks? It may be decent, technically, but the game textures still look like something from a bottom-of-the-barrel PS1 developer from the mid-90's. Same goes for the PSP version. Tokyo Highway Battle on the PSP has a much more realistic styling, and looks better for it overall.
 
The middle shot of NFSU look the cleanest. I havent seen one screen of the game with more than 2 car on screen. The games big feature is supposed to be that paint option with the touch screen. Lets hope the DS can output decent enough graphics for this feature to worth something.

Nanostray as always looks good.
 
well i saw asphalt GT on NGAGE running, and it looked quite similar to the DS version (compared to videos of it )
i guess NFSU is something like that graphicly speaking.
developers should more conentrate on heavy 2d games with nice 3 d effects!

about that symphony of the nights 2 thingie, that was just a wishfull thinking for psp .

i know the new castlevania for DS is based "Aria of Sorrow" , nevertheless, drool again :p
 
Asphalt Urban GT on N-Gage is similar to the DS version. The DS version is an upgraded port from the N-Gage. With higher polygon counts, higher resolution and triple the framerate.

NFSU2 is an improvement over Asphalt, especially in motion. I see no reason to concentrate on 2d games for DS. The level of graphics we've seen so far made for loads of excellent 3D games in the N64/PS1 era. Early DS titles are looking as good as mid to late PS1 games. What will DS games look like in a years time, or two years, or three? Obviously its no PSP for graphics, but its good enough for most types of 3D games and will get better as time goes on.
