Unfortunately, almost every single time I've tried a game on it that had been hyped up to hell (New Super Mario Bros for example) it was simply disappointing. From Hotel Dusk, which was an extremely average adventure, especially if you're familiar with pc point and clicks; Megaman ZX, which was extremely poor when it comes to Megaman standards, especially after coming off the Zero series; to Castlevania Dawn of Sorry, which was basically Aria of Sorrow, only not nearly as good; I've found the majority of ds games I've played to be disappointing.
I've come to the point where I really don't listen to anyone regarding DS games. I still like the ds, if only for Portrait of Ruin (<3), but I find the line up weak overall. Definitely a minority opinion on the issue.

Personally, as someone who's owned both, I'm going with psp for numerous reasons.
1. Most of DS' line up is overrated and never delivers. 2. PSP's games feel more geared towards being played on the road than DS. 3. PSP has more technical prowress. 4. PSP has more interesting games. 5. PSP hacks are awesome. Being able to play psx games on the psp? Hell yes.
I never understood why Nintendo fans seem to think that Nintendo is the only option in the handheld market and act like PSP is a failure, when it isn't. Anything looks like a failure in comparison to the DS, who's popularity is unlike anything we've seen before in regards to handhelds.
PSP's worthwhile games vs DS' worthwhile games:
Wipeout Pure Metal Gear Acid Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Lumines (ported to ps2 called Lumines Plus, but that type of game is better on the go) Lumines II Intelligent Qube Mania Every Extend Extra Gurumin Ultimate Ghouls N' Ghosts Hot Shots Golf Open Tee Sid Meier's Pirates! (perfect handheld game) Metal Slug Anthology Megaman Maverick Hunter X Megaman Powered Up Ridge Racers Loco Roco Tokobot (ps2 port available) Exit Powerstone Collection PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient Sega Genesis Collection (perfect handheld game) Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (for those who can't get ahold of the original version0 Gunpey Gradius collection Outrun 2006 Capcom Collection remixed (perfect handheld game!) Capcom Collection reloaded (perfect handheld game!) Parodius Collection Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories GTA: Vice City Stories Guilty Gear Judgment Breath of Fire III (Euro Import) Princess Crown (Asia Import, unless you want to spend 60-100 dollars on the Saturn game) Tales of Eternia (Euro Import) Daxter Mercury Meltdown After Burner: Black Falcon
vs
Phoenix Wright Phoenix Wright 2 Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Yoshi's Island 2 Etrian Odyssey Kirby Canvas Curse Advance Wars Dual Strike Ouendan 1 Ouendan 2 Elite Beat Agents
Not to mention, psp's 2007 line up is damn good and makes ds' look like a joke. The only interesting games on the horizon for ds are the Dragon Quest remakes. PSP has got it all covered though, especially if you're a fan of strategy games.
Worthwhile PSP games on the way:
Jeane D'Arc - strategy rpg Wild Arms XF - strategy rpg R-type Tactics - turn based strategy Final Fantasy Tactics (and not that shitty Final Fantasy Tactics Advance bullcrap) - strategy rpg Wipeout Pulse
Worthwhile DS games on the way:
Phoenix Wright 3 Dragon Quest IV-VI Dragon Quest Joker
PSP is for the hardcore gamer. DS is for the gamer who likes gimmicks. When someone tells me that psp doesn't have any games, I laugh, because that tells me that 1. They're Nintendo fanboys who feel that it's impossible for another handheld to compliment a Nintendo handheld because "Nintendo is the best" and 2. They haven't even bothered to look.

FFXIII is the anti FFXII to me. It's full of itself, flashy for no reason, and looks stupid.
The FFXIII universe will last 10 years? Are you really serious, Square Enix? We don't even know if we're going to like FFXIII's universe and they're saying it's going to last 10 years. It's so silly. On top of that, it looks like Advent Chidlren in game form. Advent Children is horrible. I think the final straw that broke the camel's back was learning that Shiva turns into a MOTORBIKE.
This is what happens when you let Tetsuya Nomura make a game instead of being an art slave.

Yeah, in 2003 that's when they went to shit. Plus I don't own a DS (I like my PSP just fine thanks - it's got Valkyrie Profile on it : D). I'm not going to lie and say I'd like MegaTen to start coming out on the Wii/DS. Nintendo consoles, for me, have always been about the casual gamer and I can count the number of RPGs on the Gamecube on one hand. I read in the official 360 mag that the PS2 is still outselling the 360 in Japan and even Blue Dragon didn't raise the sales much. I think there will be one more MT game on the PS2 but after that....I dunno.
Forget rpgs, Nintendo consoles don't have anything. The only good Nintendo console is the SNES. I never really understood the love for Nintendo beyond nostalgia.

Similarly to my Devil Summoner topic, I'm curious to know whether or not there are full translated scripts out there for those who aren't emulating or don't know Japanese. I want these games for the psx if possible, unless someone suggests other wise (like the gba versions...wait, is it for gba?). If they are readily available how much do they cost to import?
