Idiots, stop mixing opinion with fact. There is no fact that Zelda and Mario are better than GTA. You'll spend a life time trying to find evidence, only to find that *gasp,* there are none!
In my opinion, the PSP is more apealing to me than the DS. I've played plenty of Mario and Zelda ever since both were 2d, and I just don't like the style. I don't like the flashy, spammy, colors. I like the spread out, realistic looks that most PSP/PS2 games, such as GT3, GTA, RR, and MG have. To me, it's much more immersive. I know the DS will probably have dark, scary, RE games also, but the majority of the games will be the Mario style.
Also, with the battery packs that can be changed in seconds the 3-6 hour battery life is not a problem. IMHO, the single large, 16:9 screen is much better than the two small screens of the DS. If I'm racing, I don't want to take my eyes far away from the track, let alone the screen. I've played the DS, and I must admit, it was a solid and fine console, but the somewhat small screens held back some "pull-in." I haven't played a DS, but I've seen videos of someone playing RR< and it totaly looks kick ass. Big, bright, and sharp. Also, about playing deep immersive games on the PSP: The "small" screen of the PSP is right next to your face, not across the room. My Zodiac has a slightly smaller screen, but when it's 8 inches from my face, It looks like 38" plasma screen that's 10 feet away. The PSP screen will seem even bigger.
I don't dig the specs of the DS. Taking note of the page that compaired the specs of the DS and PSP, you can see why. the PSP has more power in all catigories. And yes, I do believe graphics are important. They aren't as important as gameplay, but can add ALOT of ambience. I'd take the better-than-PS1 graphics of RR on the PSP than RR on the DS any day. I can't explain why, I just do.
I'm not saying the DS is a utter piece of shit. Infact, I hope it does well. I just hope the PSP does better ;P
EDIT: Looking at the DS again, the screen isn't >>that<< small, but the PSP's 16:9 gives it the upper hand to me.

Ok, it appears i was wrong about the screen size, sue me.
Both DS and PSP have shitty launch titles, so as for games, we're goind to have to wait.

But Nintendo isn't for kids. It's universal. Maturity doesn't always mean shooting and killing - in Zelda, maturity comes from logically solving puzzles and working through mindbending dungeons. Just try to give Ocarina of Time to an 8 year old.shadow6899 said:

GTA is mature in the way that watching freddy movies when you were a kid was mature.
It's certainly no more grown up than Zelda, or the majority of Nintendo titles I can think of. If anything it's more a 'teenagers' game - in a too cool for school, gap jeans, urban street wear kinda way (trying desperately not to show my age here
)
(This isn't a dig at GTA - I love the series ... but give credit where credit is due)
Over the weekend I played some Mario Golf/Party/Tennis and Monkey Ball with friends. It was the most enjoyable gaming experience i've had since Dance mats and Samba De Amigo
Everyone had fun, including a few females. And that's the thing - a group of late 20s to early 30s adults (all been to uni and work etc) of both genders, playing Nintendo games and having a great time. It encouraged chat, friendly competiton, and simple fun in a way that only Nintendo games can. That's as mature as gaming gets imo ........ and why I want a DS.
The PSP looks great - and will certainly have some good games. Being able to watch movies and listen to music is pretty neat too. But it still doesn't really offer anything I want - who wants to watch movies on a teeny screen?, or use something so bulky to listen to mp3's?? Who wants to play cinematic and epic titles on a handheld? Everything the PSP offers seems to be better suited to the living room - and doesn't focus on what handhelds are good for. imo of course

SUPER SMASH BROS. WAS THE ONLY NINTENDO GAME I LIKE, I ****ing love it, I seriously will buy a DS if they have a DS version of it. Minus the Captian Falcon guy, he was like the AWP in CS. Cool, but utterly lame.

You mean Shonen Jump All-Stars (or Jump Super Stars) ........ which looks pretty damn sweet
It contains characters from Smash Bros, Dragon Ball, Naruto & One Piece. The fighting seems to be similar to Smash Bros on the GC - but with some 'revolutionary' new features unique to the DS.
Check it out:
