Now that the two handhelds are viable alternatives to the other, it's time to debate the merits and shortcomings of each. Like their previous PSP vs. iPhone Grudge Match, this is not a battle over polygons and framerate. IGN will measure these devices by features that actually mean something, such as the ease of getting content and the quality of the content itself.
With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen appear on the Nintendo Switch eShop with a February 27, 2026, release date and $19.99 price tag each.
There are people defending paying 20 bucks individually for 20+ year old games running through emulation. Peak ridiculousness.
don't want them? Don't get them. Emulate them elsewhere. Were you expecting them to be free?
PS1 classics on PS3 were 5 bucks bro. You've got to be completely brain dead to honestly believe that a 22 year old game being released through emulation is worth 20 bucks. There's absolutely no effort being put into this. Mega-Man Battle Network collection exists, that has online trading, and pvp and includes EVERY BN game with alternative versions.
They could've easily included both Red/Green in a bundle, have online play, online trading, HOME integration which they removed from the description because it won't have HOME integration. Could've added in Emerald and charged 30 bucks, hell they could've charged 40 and thrown in Crystal and the original Yellow in there. So people can play through the OG's and bring the OG Mons into the newer gen. But nah Ninty handed y'all a bag of shite for 20 bucks and y'all happily took it.
I'd rather buy it once and own it than have to pay a monthly subscription to play it on NSO
You don’t own them, though. You’re simply buying access to the game. It’s not really that different from NSO.
And absolutely nothing guarantees that this access will be transferable later in life to another, more modern system. Just look at Nintendo’s own Virtual Console.
@vits yes long term I agree but I don't have to pay to play the game monthly being the main point I was making it's only going to be an issue in 20.years but name a platform that won't have that problem
I really wish they'd make physical copies for these. I just saw a really cool physical bundle releasing in Japan and I'm jealous.

LOL. STFU IGN LOL. To be really honest all this is a war of causal gamers. DSi does have a big advantage. Japanese people don't care for the Iphone and the like to buy multiple handhelds. That and the thousands of titles make the DSi a common sense decision.
IPhone/Itouch-$199-$299
DSi-$169 w/o Monthly Bill
I am not a Nintendo fan but if I was forced to pick then the DSi with all the game and not monthly bill or dealing with Itunes is a better idea.
For me the iPod Touch, I don't know for some reason I think the iPod is a step up mature wise. I mean the games for both are casual with DSi having more hardcore games. The DSi is a gimmick for me, just like the Wii
I'm typing this from my iPod Touch :) I'm not sure can the DSi do this????
EDIT: well I guess between a DS and a iDevice I'm looking for a versatile device which is for sure the iPod Touch/Phone. And for hardcore games I go with the PSP.
