The Nintendo DS thread v.2

Other games I would add are:

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Contra 4
Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Metal Slug 7
Custom Robo Arena
Lunar Knights
Dragon Quest 4 (only if you like DQ5, 5 is a better game imo)

I’d get it, mine is getting old and I wanted a new one anyway:

comparison with DSi

comparison with old DS lite

I still think the regular DS has nicer buttons than the DS Lite and DSi.

No doubt, the original DS’s buttons are more sturdy and can take more punishment. I remember worrying about whether or not my DSL’s button’s would die on me really quickly.

The difference becomes readily apparent if you play a game that involves quickly and repeatedly pressing (but not mashing) the buttons, such as the 99 Block mini-game in Bowser’s Inside Story. It’s much easier to use to flatter, wider DS buttons, and I can consistently keep the block going for significantly longer.

In other news, fuck that 99 Block mini-game. I can’t get past the low-70s.

Man, I want that monster DSI so bad.

Riding the train yesterday on the way home, I saw this hot blond business woman playing one of the FF games on her DSI…yeah, I was turned on.

Man I love R4, never have to buy a DS game again

That doesnt look portable at all. Nintendo need to stop this bullshit and release the next gen successor. Six years is long enough, damn it.

Got to Case 4 on the first Phoenix Wright and just wasn’t feeling it. So I went back to Chrono Trigger and Pokemon.

Unless you wanna play Mario and Luigi lol

I found a 3rd party firmware that let’s me play it with my R4.

Man, Devil Survivor isn’t a joke. It’s really hard to protect an NPC that has 9 HP when he wants to go out and slay some shit.

Beat Kingdom Hearts and decided to try out The World Ends With You before I got back to playing Scribblenauts. And now I’m addicted. :frowning: And I know I won’t stop til I have 100% item collection and such…sigh.

The World Ends With You is probably the best RPG on the DS to date.

Oh boy a new DS, I almost feel bad for people who invest in new gameboy iterations. They release those things like clockwork…although usually after making it more colorful/versatile they make it smaller. Step in a new direction I guess.
I wonder how/if older games will look pixelated. Will developers start making games with a larger screen in mind? Larger system might mean less cramps for longer play sessions too. Hopefully a bigger screen will mean more precise stylus control.

I want a DSi LL, fat ass DS for my fat ass hands. Big ass screens so I don’t have to squint.

Professor layton is awesome brainteasers AND a murder mystery all wrapped in a delightful french art style fuck yeah this is one of the games that make me almost say I like my ds better then 360/ps3.

For any puzzle lovers layton games are a must have.

My Acekard is putting in ot these days.

Current games in it:

Kingdom Hearts 358-2
Kirby Super Star Ultra :tup:
Call of Duty World At War
Metal Slug 7
Tetris DS :tup:

they have R4 for DSI, and yes they have that game too

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey coming NA this spring! Hyped!
