The Nintendo DS thread v.2

Hey guys, can anyone reccomend a few 2D scrolling shooters for the DS? Something like Gradius or R-Type, or something of that kin.

Thanks

PS: Oh yeah it’s probably very old news but Geometry Wars is coming to DS soon.
PPS: Ninja Gaiden on DS looks great.

Bangai-O was one of the main reasons I got a Dreamcast. This is too awesome. I’d prefer a stateside release but I’d still be willing to import it. I hope that if they do bring it to the US they keep the same crappy translators they used for the DC version :slight_smile:

I forgot Geo Wars was coming. Can’t wait to pick that up.

Nanostray 2. The first one was aight. Second one looks better.

Nanostray 2 came out? Since when?

Thanks for the heads-up.

One other question, here at work we often play Tetris, Bomberman or Mario Kart with 8 players, which is mad fun. What other multi-player games are good on the DS, specifically for large amounts of players.

We tried Bust-a-Move, but with the change to the control scheme of the DS version, it really does not feel as good as the orginal which was kinda sad :(.

What’s the best game for wifi currently in you guy’s opinion? I’m being steadily drawn to the ds for the red/black lite and the death jr. stylus(too bad I have to buy the game to get it :((() so I’m looking for a great wifi game I can play at the mcdonald’s down the street from me which just got wifi in about 3 months ago.

A few more FFIV DS shots. Looks like the ones that were posted recently, but it has a few new screens. Note that they use ATB gauge from FF VI.

Some new vids of ASH (Archaic Sealed Heat). I believe these are the first videos of any kind for the game.

Also new vid of FFTA-2.

Ok, forgetting the wifi question, Castlevania DS2 or Mario Kart DS?, both have wifi capabilities, and seem to be pretty good games on their own

Depends on what you like. Castlevania is only 2 player Boss Rush mode and a shop mode. Mario Kart lets you play with (I forget how many) people online. I think Mario Kart probably has more replayability, but Castlevania is a great game.

BANGAI-O SPIRITS VIDEO BITCHES http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/09/21/tgs07-explosive-bangai-o-spirits-trailer/1#c7731895

Alright. . .so I’m having this problem with my DS, where when i put in the cartridge, it just doesn’t show up on the boot-up screen, and says “No DS card inserted” even though the cartridge in clearly in there. Is this a normal problem?

I mean, hell, i’m even doing the whole Gameboy trick where I blow into the slot to get it to work, but that only solves the problem about half the time.

  • I’d buy that set just for Kain and Cecil.

  • Called EBGames recently, so Front Mission DS is up for pre-order already. Exciting!
