I've got that Guitar game and fuck I have no idea how to actually do anything other than the simple notes.

You can play along cos they have a uhh, tell you what notes to play w/the lyrics but you gotta memorize the cords and doing it through the dpad feels awkward.

Hotel Dusk (not dust!) is pretty good so far. The story gets you wanting to keep playing to find out what happens next, and the gameplay is pretty fun. I've only played for about an hour so far, so I haven't really come up against anything really hard, but it looks like it'll hold up to the hype. If you're looking for it, check out Wal Mart.

Well, its kinda underground hype. Once the reviews started coming in for it (EGM: 8, 8, 10 for example), people started noticing. The art style of the game helped, too. If you check certain message boards and sites, there's a lot of "sleeper hype" if there's such a thing.

I agree. According to a source, the Phoenix Wright 2 sales figures will determine if Capcom will continue with PW American releases. So, if you love Phoenix Wright, be sure to buy the game and support the cause, otherwise no objection for you!

I'd really like to see more of this franchise come out especially the 4th one because its a game that is specifically created for the DS since the first 3 were just GBA ports with touch screen capabilities.

I download too, but not to screw developers out of money, but just for convinience. Having a ROM card that holds 20 games is a lot more convinient than bringing 20+ DS boxes or even just the games themselves in some carry all bag. Hell, even the act of inserting/removing a game from the DS slot wears down and causes card reading problems. In all honesty, I still buy DS games that I like to show support (PoR, PW2, FFIII, etc), but for mediocre/crap games, I couldn't care less.

This app enables the DS to control lights and appliances from anywhere via wifi. The DS becomes the ultimate X10 home automation controller.
Virtually all the lights in my house can be controlled remotely via X10. I decided it would be nice to use the stylus to not only change the brightness of the DS Lite screen but also the house. The standard X10 controllers only work from within the house. I have used my DS to turn on my porch lights, while standing on my relatives porch, 100 miles away from my house.

Fucken hardcore hahaha. Need x10 hardware.

It's actually cheaper and easier to play ISO's on the DS than in it is on the PSP.

Anyway, I never knew that Kirby Canvas Curse was so rare.

A sealed copy is going for damn near forty bucks on ebay.

Not being sarcastic or anything, but how is it cheaper? With the DS you need to purchase additional hardware, where with the PSP all you need really is an internet connection and the USB cable that came with the system.

You're going to need atleast a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo if you plan on carrying around PSP ISO's with you(not to mention other things such as PS1 games, etc). 1GB is all you need for the DS considering that the games are much smaller in size.

Core PSP - $200
2GB Memory Stick Pro - $60

Total comes to $260.

DS Lite - $130
1GB Flash Cart - $95

Total comes to $225.

I think we can agree that a person who wants to download and play games for free isn't going to have any compunctions about purchasing an additional compnent.

It actually requires brainpower to get ISO Loaders, firmware downgraders, and firmware emulators(such as devhook) to run on the PSP, but with the DS, all it takes is inserting the flash cart, plugging the USB cable into the computer, and from there, it's just drag & drop.

Wrong; 512 or 1 gig will do you just fine; then the cost is pretty much the same comparatively.

And speaking from experience, PSP is easier to use for that sort of thing.

PSP games are several hundred megabytes in size.

Need For Speed: Carbon is 745MB. Tekken: Dark Ressurection is 710MB. Lumines II is 373MB. Syphon Filter is 418MB. That being said, 512 MB is not going to do it justice, and 1GB isn't much better, especially if you want to store other things such as movies.

It is easy to run the ISO's on both platforms, that I'm not denying, but with the DS, it's simply plug & play whereas you have to install and configure software, downgrade firmware, etc with the PSP.

Look for Hori Screen protectors, they're the best around (and nothing they can do can stop you now).

What he said.

- Crystal Filter DS Lite (http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-games/pid-1004145613/) 2 screen protectors + cleaning cloth.
- Protect Filter DS Lite (http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-games/pid-1004485420/) 2 screen protectors + 3 protectors for other parts of the DS + cleaning cloth.

I got the Protect Filters since I am paranoid about scratches and fingerprints. They still get fingerprints on them but at least they're on the filters and not the DS Lite itself.

Just finished Hotel Dusk: Room 215 about 5 minutes or so ago. Sum it up real quick, IT'S DAMN GOOD.

Last 2 chapters had some pretty good puzzles/scenarios and the story line wraps up really smooth. It's worth every cent if you're into the visual novel/noir/point 'n click genre and still a good buy if you're not.

For those of you who have yet to give it a try for yourself, I suggest you do so if you have the means. Just be sure to give the game a chance and play to Chapter 3-5.

When it comes to current DS titles this is on top of the list for me.

That's a really tough call quiche. For me Hotel Dusk was a very satisfying experience and I have nothing but praise for the game. What makes it difficult to recommend one over the other, for me however, is the fact that I have yet to play any of the Phoenix Wright games and form any kind of opinion towards them.

Now with all of that said, my suggestion is if you want to go with the safe bet, go with Phoenix Wright. I say this due to the fact that I have yet to hear anything negative about the series and it has a relatively large fan base.

BTW, aside from some subtle character references, Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory have nothing to do with each other in terms of storyline.



Man, where have you been? jk.

And SquareEnix screws up again. Didn't they learn from Children of Mana? Having only local wireless is a stupid idea. Their justification for having local wireless is to encourage play between friends. Why don't they just say their lazy and don't know how to do a good global wireless set up.

Is it worth playing through Elite Beat Agents? After going through the cheerleader stage in Ouendan and then having to start on the "Normal" difficulty in EBA, things are just too slooow. Does the difficulty pick up in the harder modes? (in comparison to Ouendan)

Yes EBA is pretty much exactly like Ouendan, where it gets harder once you beat normal, and then after that there's an equivalent to the cheerleaders.

Just finished Hotel Dusk: Room 215 about 5 minutes or so ago. Sum it up real quick, IT'S DAMN GOOD.

Last 2 chapters had some pretty good puzzles/scenarios and the story line wraps up really smooth. It's worth every cent if you're into the visual novel/noir/point 'n click genre and still a good buy if you're not.

For those of you who have yet to give it a try for yourself, I suggest you do so if you have the means. Just be sure to give the game a chance and play to Chapter 3-5.

When it comes to current DS titles this is on top of the list for me.

I've got to agree with everything you've just said. I just finished Hotel Dusk: Room 215 a few hours ago and I'm quite satisfied. The story was just amazing and it was paced very well. The only problem iwth the game is that it's now over for me.

It's because of games like this that I'm glad that I bought my DS and got a Gamefly subscription. Now I just wish that I could find a cheap DS Lite.

Yeah Bleach characters, especially ichigo are extremely popular online. And the fact is its more like having 8 different versions of ichigo to play from because of the koma system in ultimate.

It isn't bad, think of it as Ace Combat instead of that shit Star Fox Command. There is some slight "slowdown" or when the controls feel sluggish.

The lock(ed) on effects are just non stop whining, I had to listen to anything but the game.

If the DS had more buttons, I would've liked the game to handle like AC. Or maybe I haven't unlocked enough planes to do all the loops and barrel rolls.

Well, I meant because the contest is asking to persuade Capcom of America to bring PW3 to the US. The other ones were ported by CoJ to the DS, then brought here by Capcom of America. With no Japanese PW3 DS on the horizon, that would mean that they either translate the GBA version and release it here, or port it to the DS themselves.

"They’re describing the game as “recreating the psychological warfare between L and Light.” From what I can understand, you start the game as either L or Light, and try to trick your opponent into revealing themselves. In Light’s case, that would be revealing what L’s real name is or just convincing him that you are not Kira, and for L, revealing that Light is Kira. You’ll be doing this through asking questions to the other character, trying to get them to slip up in what they say. I’m guessing that this game is going to play like Phoenix Wright, except be ultra-serious."

Hey, can anyone here tell me about the DS Lite versus the OG DS?

What are the advantages/disadvantages from switching from the old school DS to the newer one? I know the screen is brighter..but I also heard that the Lite has lower sound quality. Is this true?

L.one H.iryu S.aga
02-17-2007, 01:21 PM
I haven't noticed the difference between the two in terms of sound quality, but moreso in terms of comfort and performance. There are only a few minor qualms I have with the design (size of the start and select buttons, placement of the L & R buttons, etc.) Although it might take a few days to get used to it (especially if you have huge hands), my black DS Lite was by far one of the wiser purchases I've made in the last year or so. The only semi-serious gripe I have with it are the occasional hand cramps from constant play because of the L & R buttons.

Our local news did a special about pedophiles using the DS in malls and shit to prey on children. Nintendo claims it only works like 100 feet away or something to that effect, but they tested it and it works from over 300 feet away. That's pretty far.

First off, congrats for buying Mega Man ZX. I liked the game even though it takes place in my least liked Mega Man universe.

As for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney I can't say much is wrong with the game. If you've been following this thread for a while then you'll know how everyone (or practically everyone) loves this game whole-heartedly. Ok, back to the pros and cons:

Pros
- Incredible and addictive story that's filled with plenty of enjoyable characters.
- Well drawn animations for the characters
- You can actually use the microphone to say things like "Objection!" (you don't have to say it to play the game but if you want to then you have that option).

Cons
- The game is very text heavy so if you can't take a lot of reading then this game might not be for you.
- At some points in the game the challenges you encounter will boil down to just trial and error (only if you don't know what to do).

Even though I didn't list many pros for the game don't let that fool you. This game is the best thing I've ever played for on my DS in the past year and a half.

heroes of mana blows. 1/10

megaman - i spent a lot of time wandering around fighting hardly any enemies getting bored. The boss fights were pretty good but overall this was the shittest megaman game i've played. 2.5/10.

old news really, the delay was noticeable if you were watching the release dates on gamefaqs. though lately SNKP has pushed back the release dates for a few of their games, and even canceled the Metal Slug port for the gba which i was hoping to check out. and imo it's highly unlikely that the game issues will be fixed but who knows maybe we'll get lucky

Anybody else got Lunar Knights?

AMAZING game. Easily one of the best I've ever played on the DS. It has a near-perfect blend of action and RPG with an awesome variety of weapons. It's cool that you can switch between a melee-fighting character (Lucian) and a gunslinging one (Aaron). Keeps the gameplay fresh and each one actually has a use (IE, Lucian usually doles out better damage against single enemies and bosses but Aaron can easily plow through fields of smaller enemies and even snipe bigger ones before taking the risk of getting damaged). The difficulty is just perfect, with the game actually being challenging and you WILL die if you're not careful yet it's not frustrating. The weather system is awesome and that means no more solar sensor, the reason I never bought the original Boktai games. There are ways to elementally power up your weapons in the form of little creatures called "Terrenials", adding strategy, too.

GET THIS GAME, NOW. It has fucking CUTSCENES WITH VOICE ACTING and everything! Top-notch game. I fear that it may not sell enough and Konami won't bring the second installment here (just like Boktai 3 never made it here). BUY THIS GAME FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

YellowS4
02-22-2007, 10:53 PM
Unless I'm missing something, the weather system pisses me off and leaves me guessing what I should switch it to just to take advantage of xx area.

I don't like the spaceship segments too much though...

VG Emblem
02-22-2007, 11:03 PM
The weather system and colored boxes can only really be appreciated as part of the gameplay when you have all the terrenials, IMO.

For money: http://z4.invisionfree.com/BoktaiOnline/index.php?showtopic=748
The only real loot drops you need to get are the 4 junk parts, which never become available to buy. Causing a rainbow (after it rains and it's sunny outside) or meteor shower (Balmy Subtropical climate at night) causes near 100% item drop ratios. The difficulty is finding which enemies drop which.

I'm pretty sure you can play WFC wifi, but not sure about local wifi. Meaning you should be able to connect to people in the states (in Mario Kart, you can play with Japanese players), but if its multi-card wireless play (local wifi), you might not be able to connect with a US card.

got bleach ds 2 this weekend... i just have a few things in part c in story mode and then all of part D to complete, then i will have unlocked everyone...

it feels very similar to the first one... a couple of popular returning characters have been changed a bit, most notably (for me) aizen...

the joke characters are upsetting... they are noticably weaker than the main characters for the most part (i guess that's natural) and have a limited special move pool, c'est la vie.. the story mode, although tedious, is not nearly as difficult or challenging as i thought it'd be... there's a free play mode where you can choose the character to play as when trying to get 100% for the missions, so that's fun...

the new card/gem system is interesting and adds another dimension to the gameplay... i couldn't find a faq anywhere, so i had to go through trial and error to figure stuff out, and still haven't completely got it down...

If you can stomach it, just go to Gamefaqs and play people there. No one there uses "The big 3".

The main thing that pisses me off about the online play in JUS is that if theres a draw, all the players remaining alive get a win. You know how STUPID an idea this was? This just leads to people double teaming/ triple teaming you, then after they rape you like you owe them money, they run around and do nothing to let the clock run out. Bam, they all get wins, and you lose. Epic Fail

The main thing that pisses me off about the online play in JUS is that if theres a draw, all the players remaining alive get a win. You know how STUPID an idea this was? This just leads to people double teaming/ triple teaming you, then after they rape you like you owe them money, they run around and do nothing to let the clock run out. Bam, they all get wins, and you lose. Epic Fail

um thats crubby american players. Most of the time jumping is dangerous and i mean very dangerous.... Running away will get u owned especailly if u play asains who seem to understand support system better. I dont play people at Gamefaqs cause they blow balls... hard... If really hate it that way change the type of win system to Points or whatever.

Running around seriously is not possible when ur playing a good opponent. Not only that but playing too defensivly is bad as well. With people like dio, patch, and many others who have a constant pressure game guarding against everything is Extremly costly, and dont think running away will help u. You also forget there are komas that track players. Instants and speed characters. also gay moves like time stop. Do not be a scrub and make stupid statements go and play alot with japanese people get ur ass handed too and then talk to me. Dont play stupid american scrubs when u have wifi. Case closed.

So the American players on GameFAQs (a site I very much hate, bear in mind), who try to bring some balance to a game balanced worse than Fat Bastard's diet, are the scrubs instead of the "Japanese" fucktard "pros" who abuse the game in every possible way? This game is bullshit balanced. I know I already posted this, but read it (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=3639357&postcount=5342) again. NOTHING there is exaggeration. How the fuck can you put up a pressure game without using some cheapass characters when there's no grabs, there's only a standing guard and no crouching, and the guard meter refills every time you press down, up, then down again?

I finally found a DS that wasn't pink picked it up for $110. what games should I be looking to buy?

Just re-bought a DS, now about to order a set of Hori liquid screen filters and a Hori hard pouch from PlayAsia ... I hope they're good choices.

So far I got Mario 64, Kart, Tetris, M&L2, Cooking Mama and FFIII.

Sorry that it's probably been asked a million times on this thread but what games are out lately that I must try out? I'm into basically everything, but so lost into the scene and don't really trust online ratings.

Got to say, snatch up Megaman ZX too. The map in the game isn't the best, like many people have already said, but I personally like the challenge in the game. (Excluding the map) Every part in the game has a different environment, with its own unique music, which is very good by the way. Another feature I'm liking in this as well, is the different armors that you get and can switch to on the fly. If you've enjoyed Megaman games in the past, or just want something that can be both challenging and a nice waste of your time, get this one with your collection.

New Super Mario Bros is another good game to add, with its 2.5D atmosphere, with a 3D look on a 2D plane. It's a very good game, and brings back the old school Mario to a new generation.

Advance Wars DS, simply one of the best strategy games on the DS. Sadly, WiFi wasn't put on this game, since it was made before WiFi started to be included to games, however, get a few buddies with this, and watch the chaos. With different units with different strengths and weaknesses, and COs with their own unique special abilities (And the Dual CO Power move) it's a great buy.

Playing through the game via translations is fucken brutal haha. I guess I'll just have to wait =\

Super Taisen has... VOLTRON in it! Sadly no US release; gonna have to put up w/translated patches and whatnot. I do like the game though.

Pm me if they do release a patched version.

Its a smash type of game... what do u expect. Bleach 2nd DS is more of a traditional game. I never said the game was balanced but its not broke because of all the combinations u can do. There is no real top tear because of the litteraly huge amount of combinations you can do. Stop complaining and enjoy a good game on the DS. Bleach 2nd is better but this game is definatly a whole lot of fun. by the way pressing down up is dangerous. And im not saying theres cheap shit in this game.. cause there is... but its the fact that every character has some cheap shit that makes it balanced so relize that and play the game more.

mario 3on3 hoops is worse than i thought. doesn't even let me play against other people. even though it says they don't have to have the game to play against them.
When i use multiplayer it just sits there seeking other ds but the other ds doesn't pick up their signal ever. But when i play MarioKart my opponent gets the signal real fast. Mario hoops is the worse 30 bucks i spent my money on!

Honestly, I would play with more japanese if they didn't triple team in ffa's, then sit around and taunt until time runs out. If there was any way to change the settings so you could do 1v1s i'd be all for saying screw gamefaqs.

I assume you're talking about Bomberman Land Touch!?

If so finding wifi matches is a absolute pain, and when you do find people to play they're usually Diamond rank players that gang rape the hell out of you. :bluu: Also be aware that the game tends to lag pretty bad when playing on wifi for some unknown reason.

I pretty much retired the game, but if you're looking for someone to play I can hop on a couple of times. Here's my friend code:
