Look what came in the mail a few days ago!

A box from Nintendo!

Let’s see what’s inside

Awesome.

In case you’re wondering, its the gift that Nintendo sent out to those that registered Brain Age 2 on Nintendo.com and filled out a survey. I think you can still do it. They did the same with BBA for the Wii and sent out small wii remote keychains that light up. I like this better.

If its good like Sonic Rush I’ll check it out. I could never beat that final boss tho! :annoy:

Ah, nice! Mine should be coming in the mail soon, too. Thanks for the pictures!

Final Fantasy Tactics A-2 TGS Trailer. Looks very good to me!

  • Before: This looks new from the original TGS 2007 vids. Can’t believe this is coming out in Japan next month. Did Square even change their mind about GBA to DS character porting? nvm. I think this was already asked before.

  • After: Just saw it and damn, I love it already. Visually, it speaks.

One title screen shot of Advanced Wars 2.

And some impressions from a NeoGAF member.

  • …woah, that sounds like a better title now. That cartoony feel destroyed the game for me storywise.

Only a couple of more days till Phantom Hourglass comes out.

Hopefully I’ll be able to pick this up on launch day but I’m starting to get some doubts about the game. I’m sure that the game will be amazing. The reviews that I’ve read so far have confirmed this. My only concern is that ever since LttP I’ve wanted a Zelda game where the fear of dying in a dungeon was always on my mind and it seems that Phantom Hourglass won’t be anywhere near as hard. The past bunch of Zelda games have not lived up to LttP in terms of difficulty (especially you Wind Waker) so I was hoping that this game would change all that. Regardless, a good game is a good game and I’ll be sure to pick this up.

Now if only Phoenix Wright 3 were here right now. Then my DS collection for the remainder of the year would be complete.

New screens for FM 1st.

Front Mission packaging NA

  • they got a Wanzer. They got Huffman island there. Roid and Kevin are left out. Not even Driscoll. Or wi-fi symbol. Compared to this classical masterpiece:

  • and notably, the 2090: Second Huffman Conflict subtitle is there at the bottom.

Just orderd my r4 should be coming shortly :wgrin:

With Phantom Hourglass coming so soon though I wonder if I’ll even be using it much when I first get it. Didn’t PH get best handheld game at E3 two years in a row? Epic.

Zelda phantom hourglass this week,
Phoenix Wright 3 a few weeks after
Megaman ZX Advent a few weeks later

I’ll be busy for a while.

I’m thinking of (finally) picking up Animal Crossing for DS. Does anyone here play it?

…seriously.

yeah, i really wish nintendo would step it up with the combat in their zelda games. especailly the 3d ones, they make this elaborate combat system and its wasted because its just too easy. im hearing even the puzzles are easier this time around.

although in general you can count on nintendo letting you down when it comes to difficulty. such a shame because their games have no other flaws

i heard they gonna censor some of the text in the american version of PW3 is it true? the japanese version has 100% english option so i need to decide which version to pick up.

I WOULD play it, but I got bored of it within the first day, it’s not nearly as fun as the Gamecube one

I’m still wondering what is taking Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker so damn long.

I played Animal Crossing, and I kind of enjoyed it for the first few weeks, then got bored of it. There’s definitely stuff to do, but the game doesn’t proceed at the pace you want–i.e. if you feel like pulling off a 4-hour session of fishing/digging up fossils/whatever you do to make money, the game won’t let you because of fish or fossils running out. It forces a really slow pace on you, and that kind of irritated me.

It’s definitely an okay game, just. . .the forced pace is kind of frustrating.

Toys r us has an ad in the paper. If you buy the new zelda game you get the strat guide free. Just a heads up cause I’m gonna get that shit.
