The way Western developers ignore handhelds.

It bugs me.

That's really all I have to say. >_>

Other than "Why?", anyway.

  • It's because hand helds suck.

    Because neither hardcore gamers and max-resolution graphics seem to like handheld systems, and western developers are on average more inclined to cater to these demands.

    That said, this is true for big-name high-profile western games.  If you go deeper, you'll find a bunch of western-originated shovelware, which is common on any system, handhelds included.  Then you get cool gems like Monster Tale and Scurge: Hive.

    ^ Your opinion sucks. :P

    There are few Handhelds with good reputation. There are.....PSP and the DS?
  • Because you never know what you might see.
    Handhelds are awesome.  You can play them anywhere, at any time.  They're a lot less bulky to carry around when on holiday or whatever, as well.
  • To be honest, I can't say this bothers me.  I just can't really think of any games by western developers that I'd ever want to play on a handheld.  Aside from some 3D platformers I guess.  And I know that they don't have to just make sequels or ports for handhelds, but I mean when I think of western developers, I mostly just think of FPSes, or certain kinds of RPGs, or sports games or Bejeweled clones...
  • The DS is my favorite game system.

    3DS HAS

    THE SAME GAMES

  • I am not understand.
  • ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    You bought a 3DS to play the exact same games you already have in DSi.

    No I didn't!

    I bought a 3DS to play Ocarina of Time, Starfox 64, MGS3, Megaman Legends 3, Paper Mario, New Pokemon games, Dead or Alive and many other games that will eventually be exclusive to it as previous versions of the DS slowly become obsolete. Also, my DSi was broken and I had the money anyway. Plus the prospect of netflix and such on the 3DS interested me.

    The DS isn't getting BlazBlue, Ocarina of Time or Devil Survivor: Overclocked.

    BlazBlue is the game with the cute vampire right? Or is that Castlevania?
  • Cute vampire = You're gonna have to be specific.

    The DSi to 3DS is like GBA to DS Phat.

    ^^^ BlazBlue has the cute vampire loli and a bunch of other characters who aren't as cool.

    Except Iron Tager.  Because Tager is my favorite character.

    Found the image when looking up pictures of MariaHolic but then I realized that this was not Mariya because the hairbands were too prominent. She also lacked the little dot below her left eye.
