Default Re: Purchasing a DS - What to Get With It?

I don't know much about the poker game, but I got used to the controls on the DS.

My biggest complaint regarding the PS1 was always the lack of an analog stick, and after a while you just overcome that problem. The DS is a lot like that.

Super Mario 64 on the DS is fine, but it will take about an hour or two for you to get used to it. I personally used the D-pad most of the time, but I did use the thumb stylus on certain parts. The thumb stylus works MUCH better then the pen stylus, and with a little practice, you'll quickly learn how to manuever mario using it. However, I promis you cheap deaths from the controls. Seeing as how Bowser World 1 can be opened 8 stars into the game, I found myself dying one to many times on that damn level, just because I was having trouble with the controls. And yeah, some of the levels, like Clockworld, Rainbow Road, and Tiny Big Island are a bit harder then before, just because of the controls. But, by the time I got to Rainbow Road, I was used to the controls, and I didn't really die because of that.

As far as depth and or length are concerned, Mario 64 DS has a decent amount of gameplay. You have the 150 stars, and then the minigames. So, basically you have an already decent-sized adventure game made longer. As far as originallity is concerned, the game gets a 1 out of 10.

But yeah....it all depends on what you want. Poker games are a lot of fun, and I could see Poker DS being hella fun. Especially with the touch screen..I wanna deal cards using the stylus.
