The Nintendo DS thread v.2

Yeah, pretty much. lol. I forgot it came out already.

isurus : what a bad move.

Hotel Dusk is an awesome game, get if you haven’t played it yet. Wonder what is CING’s next game?

Its called, “Again: Eye of Providence”. Another detective story.

SWEET! Hopefully it’ll be as long as Hotel Dusk, and not as linear.

All I care about is Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ry? to Hikari no Ken and Poke Platinum. They come soo early in the year good days ahead :333

Anyone know anything about the NDS Claymore game?

TRAVIS! :rofl:

Still playing MS 7 and some other random games of mine.

Metal Slug 7 is good times.

^ Finished it. God, that was brutal. Even on easy. Those futuristic soldiers were funny. They crap red drop bombs. I have the Combat School missions to beat now. I’ll probably move onto Rondo of Swords and put this on “Once In a Blue Moon”. The goal for New Years is to get in shape, so I’ll be getting back into My Weight Coach routines with the pedometer. 10,000 steps a day isn’t a hard thing to achieve.

I should clarify that it being relatively easy means beating Arcade Mode on Normal difficulty AND completing Challenge Mode 40/40 took me about 25 total hours of play and practice.

Contra 3 took me at least twice that amount of time just beat on Normal Difficulty, despite being much shorter, so comparing the two, I think the new one is definitely much easier.

Also, this might sound strange, but while it’s not technically a shmup, Metroid Pinball DS’s boss encounters evoked the feeling of one more than once.

Yes, for both of them.

So true.

I’m hoping someone can help me with this:

Bought an R4 SDHC with a 2GB Kingston MicroSD, and a DS Lite (black). For some reason, my DS keeps getting bricked. This is the 2nd DS bricked. The only indication I get from the DS is when I plug in the charger and I’ll get the charging light for about 1 second, then it goes off. I’ve confirmed that the R4 is not a bootleg, and I know all about the former R4 team releasing firmwares that’ll purposely brick DS with counterfeit R4s in them. I’ve already contacted the vendor (thedsdeals.com) for a replacement, but in the meantime, does anyone have an idea? I think I put the wrong firmware on it, which was the R4 SDHC Deluxe firmware. I bought these in a batch of 3, and the other 2 are working fine, btw.

Looks like I’m going to have to buy a DS again for Pkmn Platinum and Blue Dragon+.

I’d rather just wait till the DSi comes out though. :
Any news on that?

This’ll be like my 5th DS I’ve owned probably.

Meh, it won’t be anything special. There’s not much you can do to improve upon the DS beyond changing the design completely.

But I am a consumer whore and it has a bunch of shit added to it that I don’t need. So obviously, I want to buy it.

A bunch of shit? Like what? A camera? nothing else of note…

  • Well… I wouldn’t go that far. Shorter battery life, two cameras, a SD Card slot, a missing GBA slot, a new wi-fi service that will never come here, a high price that surpasses the PSP 3000 models, which is a superior system to it specification wise… yeah. I can’t see why it’s a bad thing to do. Yes.

  • Exit DS hurts my brain. Well, not really. I love it.

I still want it. :frowning:

Exactly, no reason to buy a new DS model until a new handheld is introduced.
