Yesterday I...

[Fox 6]

bought a DS lite and such, I borrowed the new super mario bros from swan.
Next week when i get payed im planning on buying a couple of games. I already know im getting Mario Kart, and i was just wondering on what elese to buy.

So if you guys could suggest a couple of games that you enjoyed i would be greatful. Im not really a stickler for any genre in perticular, so if you liked it just throw it out there. :)


Oh and my family is getting a second computer, and a wireless connection and so forth so i will be getting wifi, hopefully soon.

Congrats on purchase. I'll just go through what games I own and how I feel about them:

Super Mario 64 DS - Came free with my DS. Just as fun as the original with more characters and more to do. The controls just aren't as good as on the N64.

Meteos - I love this game. I bought a screen protector before hand with this being my first touchscreen game. Glad I did. One hell of a great puzzler and my second favorite game for the system. There is also a ton to unlock which will keep you busy. I heard multiplayer is great but I never tried. Kept me occupied for an entire plane ride from LA to NYC. About 40 hours clocked in.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - My favorite DS game. There is so much to do, especially if you like to complete games at 100% and find all items like I do. About 40 hours clocked in.

Mario Kart DS - Nothing to say that anyone will tell you different and you're getting anyway so enjoy. Just watch out for snakers...and cramped hands.

New Super Mario Bros. - I beat it within a couple hours of getting it. The replay value comes from finding all the hidden levels and getting the three coins found in each level. It's a pretty solid game. Nothing amazing but I reccomend if like Mario games.

Animal Crossing Wild World - I actually ended up selling this game. Animal Crossing for GameCube was my favorite game of all time. I played the hell out of it. The DS one was almost exactly the same except it felt like they removed the best parts. How I miss holidays. And never could adjust to the rotating world with the closer view. *sigh* The online aspect didn't appeal to me. The few times I went into other towns the communication was awkard and we ended up chasing eachother around with the axes.

Kirby Canvas Curse - I bought this on a whim since I heard people were beginning to have trouble finding it and I had heard good things about it. If I wasn't such a huge Kirby fan already I'm not sure how I would feel about it. And if it wasn't for the counter saying how many hours I've played I would have felt that I wasn't getting enough play time for my money. Alas I have 20 hours clocked in.

Advance Wars is pretty good. Too bad it got repetetive after awhile... I wonder how the sequels sell? Worth getting a used copy!

Oh, and don't forget that it can play GameBoy Advance games. Unless the DS Lite can't... that'd be weird.

Also, I second the opinion on Dawn of Sorrow. Fun game! Nintendogs on the other hand... even my fiance got bored with it. She loves dogs!

I have all the good DS games, save Phoenix Wright and Sonic Rush. You can try them out next time we're both at Dylan's.

AH yes I picked up Phoenix Wright a couple weeks back, along with Trauma Center. I am having quite a bit of fun with both of them.



How is Wario Ware:Touched? I have been looking into getting that one as well.

It's good, but the replay value is just not enough. If you can find it for cheap, go for it. I think I like Cooking Mama leagues more.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. There are a few games I want, but I don't really want to pay $50-60 bucks for them. Tetris DS for example.

Tetris DS is $50-$60? That's news to me.

I can get it at Willow Video, brand new for $40. And I've seen it used a lot of times.

[Swan]

Yeah...I believe it was something like $50 at the places I have seen it.




I may just be dyslexic....and I know I spelt that wrong

[Fox 6]

So i Picked up Mario Kart and Star Fox Command. Mario kart is well.. Mario Kart and star fox is a nice suprise. the stylus control allows for good pin point accuracy and the story is pretty good so far. As for the voices they speak in gibberish, and you can record your own voice into the mic. The game asks you some questions and then it chops up your voice and turns it into the gibberish that they speak, so its not like you can tell slippy to go to hell.

I did see pheonix wright but for $60 :/ . Didnt see adance wars or meteos or anything like that. I was interested in trauma center: under the knife, but having heard no reviews of it, and star fox being 10 bucks cheaper i didnt go for it, tho i may later. Does any one have an opinion on trauma center?

[Dyne]

Trauma Center is great.

And yeah, DS games at Mostly Music are way overpriced. Most things are, there.

[Stonecutter]

I'd get Castlevania, it JUST got reprinted, I snagged my copy from amazon, but who knows how long this run will last and you'll have to resort to ebay if you want it.

Only other game I have is Tetris DS, which might be the best iteration of Tetris ever. Highly recommended.

[Dyne]

Castlevania isn't that hard to find. Konami isn't completely dumb anymore. I'm glad they brought out the double-pack for AoS and HoD.

I can't wait for the next Castlevania on DS. Whips!

I will most likely have a DS Lite by Friday.

Just bought a pink one for my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary.
