Going to pick up the black version and the New Super Mario Bros. and Metroid Prime: Hunters, maybe some Brain Age. I've ordered the cartridge for it that has a compact flash card reader in it so I can watch movies and listen to mp3s on it.Anyone else picking up a DS Lite today? I've got the original DS model, and I really enjoy it.  It's a nice alternative to the PSP at half the cost.  As I understand it, the innovations on the new model are that it's smaller and the screen is brighter.  Is there anything more than that?  That's pretty cool, but it's probably not enough of an improvement to get me to upgrade (unlike the addition of a backlit screen for the GBA SP, which made me run out and get a new GBA).  Although I could use a second DS because my wife keeps hogging it to play Brain Age.The cartridge with the compact flash reader, where do you get that and how much does it run?  I assume that works on all models of the DS and not just the new one.Anyone have any game recommendations?  So far, I've enjoyed the following:Super Mario 64 DS - A great port of the old N64 game<img height="280" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0006B0O9U.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" width="280" border="0" />Wario Ware - Easier to finish than the two previous Wario titles for the GBA, but still fun.  I'm a big fan of any game you can pick up and play for a few minutes at a time, and games you play with the stylus are usually fun.<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0007D4MVS.01-A23NLORBGXOLEO._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" border="0" />Brain Age - Pretty simple and graphically not very sophisticated, but my wife and I have spent hours doing the brain exercises and playing sudoku on the thing.  It's a pretty inexpensive title as well.<img height="220" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000EGELP0.01-AIGI2YLZJE0LN._AA220_SCLZZZZZZZ_V53981586_.jpg" width="220" border="0" />Feel the Magic - Ok, this one's fucking weird, and it has the worst videogame cover and name ever.  The story is that you're some guy who meets and pursues a woman, and weird shit happens along the way, so you have a set of really bizarro tasks that you have to perform using the stylus and touch screen and the microphone -- such as coaxing goldgish out of a guy's stomach, saving people from quicksand, clearing lanes of road so people riding shopping carts down hills down't wipe out, flinging people at some kind of robot car to put it out of commission, tap 100 bulls with the stylus without touching any skiers.  Weird shit.  Anyway, it's actually pretty fun, and given the fact that you can pick it up for under $10 used from Amazon, it's probably worth it.<img height="280" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0006B98DI.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" width="280" border="0" />Palarium - It's a puzzle game.  One mode is trying to figure out puzzles, while the other mode is a Tetris type speed thing.  Fun, although there's less depth to it than some of the DS games and it really doesn't show off the DS' capabilities.  You can pick this one up used for under $10 from Amazon as well, and it's worth that.<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0007P0U3U.01-A23NLORBGXOLEO._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" border="0" />What else is worth picking up?  I'll probably grab Mario Kart or the Metroid game next.

I was out and about today and Captain Impule Control bought a DS lite with Brain Age and Advance Wars.  I would have picked up Kart but they didn't have it in the store I bought it at and didn't feel like walking over to EB.  Of course, I'd love to pick it up later this week and run a RonFez.Net internet Mario Kart DS game. After playing thru day 1 of Brain Age, I gotta say my brain hurt by the time I was done playing.  Can't wait till tomorrow to do it again with my 70 year old brain.  <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/happy.gif" />

I've been playing my DS for a little while now.  The new Mario Bros. game is great.  I was really surprised at how many extra games there are.  Little games you can pick up quick and waste a few moments on line or something.Very cool.  Glad I bought this thing.

So to the people who got a Lite after having a, um, DS Fat.. how does it compare? Is it worth the update? And for anyone who is any sort of rhythm game fan at all needs the following game: <img border="0" src="http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9383/ouendan3xt.jpg" /> Ouendan. It's one of the greatest games ever in the genre and worth the import price of about $50. It's in Japanese but you really don't need to know any of the language to have a fun time with the game. The soundtrack is awesome, the gameplay is fun, and it's one of the hottest imports on the DS scene. A version of it is coming to America under the name Elite Beat Agents but I don't think it will be able to compare to the joy of the original. Go buy it. You won't regret it. Oh, I suppose I should give the name of the game.. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!

gave my pops the old ds, and the new version of tetris came out a few months ago. got my ds lite, right now only available in america in white. my friend imported the dark blue one, real nice but shows finger prints and smudges WAYYYYY too much. new super mario brothers is good, but short, i finished it 100% in about 3 hours. mario kart, is fantastic, really hard, really good.   wario ware, is the best a.d.d. game ever.   i highly reccomend mario and luigi partners in time, and for the import set. check out the bleach fighting game.

I played Brain Age at about 11pm-11:30pm last night and it was cool the way the guy on the left screen was commenting on how late it was.  Yeah, I geek for little things like that. And am I going to be reading the entire White Fang 1 page a night for the next year?

I never had a DS fat, so I was pretty psyched to get the Lite. I will def. check out Brain Age and the Kirby canvas game. I would recommend you all get the Max Media dock so you can watch movies, play mp3s, and play emulated NES and SNES games on the Lite, here is a link: <a href="http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=750">Buy Max Media Dock (Nintendo DS) In Stock </a>

06-13-2006, 05:18 PM

I'm already in love with the thing.1st off, the PSP fucking sucks for load time, the DS is a cartridge system so no waiting.  Love that.  2nd, I can still play my old GBA games and it's give me a renewed interest in them.  3rd is it closes and isn't made of whatever the PSP is.  One MAJOR complaint about the PSP is it's fucking filthy after you're done playing it.  Your big fingerprints are all over the black finish.  Plus I don't feel safe putting it down just anywhere because the screen could get scratched if something hits it.  The DS closes, protecting the screens and buttons.  It's also made of a different plastic or at least finished differently.  No huge fingerprints all over the place.Kick ass.  I just hope they start making more games, I was looking over titles and I'm less than impressed.

i traded in my psp to get my ds lite. but.. i noticed today , i hadnt really gotten a chance to play with it. I HAVE A FUCKING DEAD PIXEL! >angry< called my friend @ gamestop, when more are in stock, i can swap it, but IM PISSED.

Death Metal Moe

06-13-2006, 07:23 PM

I always keep my systems, even if they suck ass.And my PSP has a dead pixel.  You never notice it.  But I got it used.  It's different for you, you bought the DS Lite new.  I'd expect it to be in tip top shape too.

I'm happy.  Last night, I played Brain Age twice (9pm and after midnight), and didn't read Call of the Wild once.  I must say I really enjoyed reading Walden.

It was only $20 brand new.  Really makes me want to go back and get that "Brain Age" game too.  Same price.

I've got my eye on New Super Mario Bros. but I'm flat broke.

I picked up the Dauschund and Friends game, although it doesn't matter which one you purchase as you can unlock every breed if you play long enough.As for the penis falling off, yeah, it's a cutesy, faggoty game but it's a great display of what the DS can do and is surprisingly addictive. I don't sit and play hours on end, rather I pick it up every few hours when time permits for 10-15 minutes. And the dogs... well they're cute enough to melt even Death Metal Moe's heart.

I bought my wife a DC lite the other night with the new mario game. It is awsome. She has been playing it non-stop. I have played with it a few times, I think I like it more than my PSP. Sure PSP is more powerful, but DC has better games, and they cost less than 40 bucks a pop.

Yea, I've waited for shipping from Asia before, it sucks.  It took almost 3 weeks for me to get my 1 GB memory card for my PSP.They say 5-10 business days, so I'm hoping since it's a business instead of an idividual, that estimate is closer to truth.But yes, screen protectors seem to be a very important investment.  Scratch a $5 piece of plastic instead of the front of your 100-200 dollar unit.

It just says the third one is "phone based"."FFXIII, FF Versus XIII for the PS3, and the phone based FF Agito XIII"The catch all name for the three titles is Fabula Nova Crystallis.Personally, I just can't wait for FFXII.    Getting back on topic, in the same issue they have a review of the new DS title "New Super Mario Bros." It looks very cool, and got a very good rating.

The new SMB game is fantastic, got a 9.5/10 from IGN and one of only like 3 games ever to get a 10/10 from some uppity Japanese game magazine, or so the guy at EBGames told me awkwardly as I thrust my money at him to get out of there quicker.

JustJon

06-22-2006, 07:57 AM

I haven't tried Academy yet.  I'm still too busy with Brain Age.  I don't get headaches playing it anymore, which I assume is a good thing.  I'm unlocking the hard modes and having fun with that.  I still have a few "games" that I have yet to unlock, and finished about half the Easy Sukodu puzzles so far. SMB is getting great reviews, but I keep hearing you can finish the game with 100% in only a couple hours, which makes me hesitant to get it right now, when I barely have any DS games, so there's alot of games out there with more longevity.

Just wanted to say that "Brain Age" is way more fun than "Big Brain Academy."  Everyone who said it was right.Just the Sudoku puzzles alone are way more enjoyable.  I'll keep plyaing BBA but Brain Age has taken it over.  I do like the schedule set up to it too, and the unlockable games.Man I'm glad I bought this DS.  It makes my PSP look like a slow loading piece of shit.  I'm only playing MVP Baseball on it now.  I mean don't get me wrong, blasting 10 homers out of the park a game is a lot of fun, but it's last years rosters.  Gay.

Goddamn it.I got my screen protectors from Play-Asia.com a few days ago and finally opened it to apply them.  EVERYTHING IS IN FUCKING JAPANESE!!!!  I can't tell it there's a special one of the 2 plastic sheets.  I'm guessing there is a special one for the touch screen and they're color coded with a tab on the edge, but for the life of me I cant tell which one goes where.Fuck.

For the last two weeks, I've been writing 5's as S's in Brain Age because it's faster when doing the timed calculations stuff.  In the last week or so, I've noticed now that whenever I write a 5 anyplace else I've been doing it too.  Arg.  Now I have to watch any time I write numbers.

Yesterday I went to visit a friend to chill, bbq, etc.  After we ate, a few of us broke out the DSes and my buddy pulled out his copy of Mario Kart.  4 of us racing off one cart (the rest of us were forced to be shy guys without the cart) yelling at each other in his kitchen and having a blast.  I need to buy that game now.  As soon as I do, we need some online/wifi Kart games going on RF.Net.

It ended up OK.  You're right, the 2 screens are slightly different sizes, but I just decided to try and put the one with the red tag on the bottom, and that was the right choice.Everything works fine.

I traded in my Xbox system and a few Xbox game and my old DS at EBgames. They gave me 20% more trade in value for pre-ordering a black DS Lite so I didn't have to front any cash for the system. All i have is Mario Kart right now, can you guys recommend any good games?

Ok, it's time to start the Christmas shopping and my kids are both wanting Nintendo DS lites.They both have had gameboy advanced for a couple years and I am amazed that they have managed to keep them in working order for that long. They have a lot on GBA games (which I have heard will work with the DS lite) and a lot of the original Gameboy games (which I have heard will not work)What should I expect to have to get to equip both of them with a DS lite, and a couple of games each ? What kinds of accesories are available? What would you reccomend ?What are the wifi capabilities ? Should I get one for myself too ?

I'm not sure if I should be embarassed by this, but I'm fairly obsessed with "Yoshi Touch & Go".  I picked it up at Gamestop used figuring that you can't go too wrong with a Nintendo franchise, and if it sucked I'd give it to my daughter.  The whole premise of the game is that it works like a side-scroller, and you have to get Yoshi from point A to point B.  The thing is that you don't move Yoshi.  He just automatically moves from left to right.  You have to clear a path for him for drawing lines over holes and knocking out enemies by throwing eggs or by circling them with the stylus.  You also can collect coins by running Yoshi into them or by circling them with the stylus and dragging them to Yoshi.  When I first started playing the game, I hated it.  It seemed like merely a demo to show off the DS' features.  The more I played, the more I got sucked in.  I played on a train trip to DC and spent the entire trip playing without stopping.  It's unforgiving, and there are usually many things going on at once, but it's pretty addictive.  There's an aerial stage that starts the game that isn't nearly as fun as the side-scrolling part, but fortunately you can skip the aerial portion after you've done it once.Also. is it just me, or is the DS starting to catch on?  I'm seeing them out and about more than I did, and I've noticed that my local Gamestop and Circuit City have been placing their DS stock in more prominent places than they did before.

Jump Ultimate Stars came in the mail yesterday..It's 100% awesome. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlaJw_TUoTc" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlaJw_TUoTc</a> That video gives a great overview of the game, got me wanting the game even more while waiting for it to show up. Came yesterday.  Sat around for an hour something putzing around in it unlocking stuff and trying to figure out the deck maker.  The level of customization is crazy, I played some Wi-Fi (didn't lag much, I was surprised, although one game completely locked up) and there are so many things that you can do with your teams that everyone I played against had completely different set ups.  You could sit there for an hour just putzing around making a deck, upgrading your guys, and trying out different set ups.  Has a single cart multiplayer mode that lets you putz around with simple decks to get a feel for the game, Wi-Fi or multicard play is where it's at.  Missions are nifty, need a FAQ to understand them since its all in Japanese but that's not too bad. So much anime in it.  I don't even know half of it but it's really exciting to see the ones I do know in their super forms battling against each other.  Bleach, Naurto, and Dragon Ball Z should be enough to make it sell like hotcakes over here, too bad licensing issues means it will never get localized.

FIFA is ok and Madden was better than I expected. The framrate and animations are pretty well done considering the hardware it's on. That said, I couldn't really see my self playing an entire season on that small screen. I would rather throw a SNES emulator on my cf card and play tecmo super bowl.

That on top of two GTAs, Daxter, LocoRoco, Wipeout Pure and Lumines. I think PSP's lineup is underrated, which is understandable considering DS's larger and cheaper library.

So I've been playing a lot of Seven Bridge on Clubhouse Games.  I'm not sure why.  It's a kind of dumb, semi-obscure card game, but I enjoy it.  The problem is that no one ever wants to play it online.  So anyway, yesterday I fired up the DS and found 2 people who were willing to play.  I played 4 matches and won three of them.  Long story short -- there are so few people who play Seven Bridge online (only something like 214 total), that I have now been bestowed a very high ranking in this game from winning 3 out of 4.  You are reading the post of the #26 ranked Clubhouse Games Seven Bridge player in the world!!!!

It's insane popularity probably forced Square Enix's hands with the added bonus that the series could now be on a platform free from next gen graphic pressures that are unneccessary to the game.And to add to your misery there is a Final Fantasy 12 sequel called Revenant Wings and it's coming exclusively to the DS too.

i picked up mario kart but it was 35 bucks, which i don't plan on spending on a ds game in the future. what are some of the older games whch are good that i can picked up pre-played from eb-games and stuff. i've heard trauma center is fun. i would like to get some of the cheaper, used games though.

thanks for any suggestions.

Import.

EBA and Ouendan are the same games in concept but totally different in terms of music. In the Japanese ones you play the role as a male cheerleader squad and all the music is j-pop stuff. EBA took the concept and Americanized it with Avril Lavigne and The Village People. Here the main characters were changed from the cheer squad to the police force thing.

If you like the American one and don't live in fear of Japanese music it's one of the best games you can import. You don't really need to be able to read Japanese to be able to play the game. It's real easy to understand and the graphics completely tell the story.

A sequel is coming for EBA here in English, just not yet.

Feel the Magic - Ok, this one's fucking weird, and it has the worst videogame cover and name ever.  The story is that you're some guy who meets and pursues a woman, and weird shit happens along the way, so you have a set of really bizarro tasks that you have to perform using the stylus and touch screen and the microphone -- such as coaxing goldgish out of a guy's stomach, saving people from quicksand, clearing lanes of road so people riding shopping carts down hills down't wipe out, flinging people at some kind of robot car to put it out of commission, tap 100 bulls with the stylus without touching any skiers.  Weird shit.  Anyway, it's actually pretty fun, and given the fact that you can pick it up for under $10 used from Amazon, it's probably worth it.<img height="280" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0006B98DI.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" width="280" border="0" />

With Mother's Day coming up soon I figured I'd pick up a game for my Mom. Easy enough, but the problem is that she's not particularly good at games- especially those that require reflexes. She bought Zelda because she heard such great things about it but she couldn't pull it off, got extremely frustrated and quit. Any ideas on what she might enjoy? A couple points:

1. She quite enjoyed Hotel Dusk: Room 215. I got her Trace Memory for Christmas because it was along the same lines, but she didn't like it as much because the controls were clunky in comparison and she didn't care for the story. Any other good adventure games out there?

2. She already has Brain Age and a few other games like that. She says she doesn't need any more collections of mini games. She's also said that Nintendogs sounds like a dumb concept.

3. Right now I'm looking at getting one of the Phoenix Wright games, Animal Crossing or Trauma Center. Would she have any trouble with these?

I haven't played Phoenix Wright. Trauma Center requires you to do things quickly, so I'd say no on that one. Animal Crossing is a game you can play at your own pace, and it really isn't possible to really fail, so if she would be interested in walking around a town, talking to animals, running errands, fishing, planting stuff, etc. then that might be a game for her. Some people get really into that one, but most people I know tapped out on that one after about a month tops.

I highly recommend Clubhouse Games, but you said she doesn't need anymore collections of games.

I agree that new Super Mario Bros is a lot of fun. I'm actually playing through it a second time now. It might be frustrating for someone who doesn't play platformers though.

3. Trauma Center. Would she have any trouble with these?

It's one of the hardest games in existance. Unless she has lightning fast reflexes and nerves of steel she'll want to throw the DS across the room by the end of it. I remember very vividly the latter parts of the game and I'd be physically shaking as I finished a level due to how stressful it was.

What about Professor Layton?

Also, how do i play people with other DS's?

If a game is capable of multiplayer there is an option somewhere in the game. You can't play over the internet with people so you have to be in the same room as them.

I am probably going to get BrainAge, My French Coach, Yoshi and Puppy Palace. I am waiting for Wizardology too.

Just a heads up, but here is a link to Metacritic's Review pages for ALL Nintendo DS games. Suggest ya peruse this, and pick up games.
http://www.metacritic.com/games/ds/

I'm currently playing Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin. It is an excellent strategy game, thinking person's game. Lot of strategy needed to win missions.

Final Fantasy IV is the next big purchase for me, and eventually Chrono Trigger. These are two of the great role playing games ever created. HIGHLY suggest these if you want to be immersed by something special.

DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT get a Lego game for the DS. The last one I bought was dogshit. I bought the same game for the PSP and it was light years ahead of the DS one.

A different company developed the last one and it was just awful, so if they release new Lego games for the DS read a lot of reviews or even rent it 1st.

But overall the Lego games are tons of fun.

The DS FF3 was pretty weak. Too much micromanagement, the camera zoom, and weak graphics kinda blew. The eventual remake of FF6 (originally released as FF3 in America on the SNES) will make me very happy.

I have two gripes:

1. I would much rather see the game on PSP with better graphics.
2. With the transition to 3D for FF4, you lose the original hand drawn sprites and feel of the old game. I prefer the updated look of the F1 and FF2 games on PSP. I just like the art of it.

Speaking of Final Fantasy, I was playing the GBA version of FF1. Fun, but pretty unbalanced. I ripped through the game fairly easily in about 20 hours without any problems. I have the maximum amount of gil and destroying everyone who comes up against me. That is, until the painfully tough final boss. I checked out a FAQ and apparently he has 20,000 hp compared to the next most powerful boss who has 5000. I know the end of the game needs to be tough, but it was just too much too fast.

Weak graphics?? IMO it pushes what the DS is capable of hardware wise. It has been awhile since i've played it but i don't remember it not delivering on that front. My biggest gripe about it is the very simple story, but i can understand cause it was a remake of a nes game.

The order goes like this in case anyone cares...

Final Fantasy (Japan, US)
Final Fantasy 2 (Japan only)
Final Fantasy 3 (Japan only)
Final Fantasy 4 (Japan, Number 2 in US)

Not to be Ned Negative, but what a letdown. The DS Lite was a huge improvement over the original DS, and I was expecting something like that.

I'd much rather have a GBA slot than a camera (or even two) And what's the point of having 2 cameras?

On top of this, we won't get this in the US until well into 2009 (http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nintendo-dsi-hitting-us-well-into-2009/)

The SD slot is a good idea, but will leave the door wide open for piracy, which is already a big problem on the DS.

I don't mind the lack of a GBA slot. I've heard very few good things about the DS Guitar Hero, and if I wanna play a GBA game I use my GBA SP. I still haven't upgraded to DS Lite so I'll probably wait for this one to come out.

I just finished playing Jack Hunter: Detective Chronicles. It had potential but it was incredibly easy and linear. It's basically the investigation stages of Phoenix Wright, only without the humour. The problem is that they hold your hand through the whole game. They only let you go to the locations that are pertinent to what's going on at that moment so you're never searching for what to do next. Plus, they won't let you leave a location until you're done so it's just a matter of going through the menus and picking every available option until they let you leave. To make matters worse there are only three cases but apparently the Japanese version had six, not that I really needed three more mediocre mysteries to plod through. I was able to finish up in about 5 hours, though I'll admit that I was so bored with the last case that I skipped most of the dialogue.

I would suggest you do not purchase a DSi until more info is out. Nintendo really shit the bed with this announcement and its features. Word on the street is that it will be region locked also, first time Nintendo has done that with one of their handhelds. The missing GBA slot will hinder you ability to use it for game with attachements that plug in there (Guitar Hero: World Tour, any tilt games, etc.)

I can't see a reason for paying 180 bucks for this system for a shitty .3 Megapixel camera. The SD cards thing is nice, but pointless when you can buy a Flash Card for 40 bucks and download games onto it already. That's piracy though. ... So you can purchase a Flash bundle that includes DS and GBA flash cards. That's upwards of 400+ games you can play on your regular DS.

Nintendo's stock shot down from this announcement. The DSi is a sham and a milk the cow. I'd say skip it for now, and wait until the true next handheld. PLUS............tons of christmas deals and bundles this Christmas.

Supposed to be released DS, PC, 360, PS3.

Beat Puzzle Quest Galactrix this morning. The ending is fairly anti-climactic. The original Puzzle Quest had a better ending.

I've been playing it on 360. The first one was tons better. I'm not a huge fan of the new board either.

Anyone know what this DS Lite trade in thing is all about? I thought I saw someone would give you $70 bucks for you Lite on the purchase of a new DSi.

I have a business trip next week and 6 hours of plane time. Anyone have some DS recommendations, just finished up Chrono Trigger.

I know it's a response to an old question, but since you are into JRPGs have you picked up The World Ends With You ?

It has everything. Real time battles, no random encounters, cool characters (get past the first couple hours, you'll hate the main kid but you're supposed to), tons of character customization, and a whacky brain destroying dual screen battle system. Also has a really great feature in which your equipment (buttons you wear) level up in real time. Say you play it on a Wednesday and can't get to it again until Saturday. When you go back into your game you're stuff will have gained experience.

Game is set in Shibuya so it's semi based on reality, and when you actually go there you'll be able to say "Oh man! This is from the game!" like I did.

Also has a great soundtrack.

The World Ends With You has been my game since Galactrix. The first "day" was slow, but once you progress into the game it becomes alot of fun. Cool designs, cool music.

I tried out Knights in the Nightmare this past weekend.

Its a tactical turn based (sort of) strategy RPG combined with the gameplay mechanics of a bullet hell shooter.

I have an R4 card for my DSi and have both The World Ends With You and Knights in the Nightmare. I'm still new to both and getting into it slowly...I'm also playing a game called Blue Dragon Plus that I'm really engrossed in at the moment. Its an rpg that has DBZ-like artistry. The cut scenes are pretty cool cause they encompass both screens and make it look bigger and better. I think its pretty fun so far...
