I know, if you shrink it down to a ds sized screen, the graphics will be almost as good as ff crytal chronicles.
Go go square enix!
(Just expect them to say itll be coming mid-2006, then delaying it to the end of 2007.)

[AL the great]

i gotta admit those graphics are pretty impressive. i'm never really psyched about ff games but this one is getting me pretty hot and horny.

This is so funny cuz everybody was complaining about DS had poor graphics but I kept saying, "The DS is going to be pushed for better graphics soon guys." Finally this is some proof.:cool:

I've never done it, but i've heard that it takes awhile to send to Nintendo and get it back. Try walmart first, or just deal with it; I've heard that bright colored dead pixels usually aren't visible while playing.

[io]

i read somewhere that you can call them and they'll send you a replacement. you just mail the defective one back upon receipt. then again, walmart might be easier. they take ANYTHING back

although the ones you posted were much better quality. I am impressed.

[AL the great]

u like fighters get super turbo(gba). castlevania is pretty good you dont really need to have played previous games to enjoy it.
----------

return it to walmart for an even exchange they will give you 0 crap. dont send it to nintendo it'll be a long wait and its money out of your pocket.

[apokalipze2]

or just deal with it; I've heard that bright colored dead pixels usually aren't visible while playing.
I got one too with a dead pixel, doesn't bother me though since it's not visible during gameplay. Not going to make a big fuss over one freakin' pixel

[Pat the Great]

i bought a used DS and phoenix wright today. shit is off the hook.

OBJECTION!

[io]

i took back my ds to walmart and......the HOTEST girl i've seen in ages was working the register. i was like, wtf.....

[TGC]

For castlevania games, you really don't have to have played any of them to start. There is no real story line so you're not missing anything. I started with Circle of the Moon (excellent castlevania BTW) and went back played the ones on SNES. They're all good.

I was like WTF when i first saw FF3 pics, and was thinking it's not gonna be the same. But i forgot that FF3 is gonna be the japanese FF3, in 3d. FF6 is gonna be the same so i won't really care, cause that one is a classic.

[Wellman]

I am suprised FF3 is looking so good, it actually reminded me of the first demo screens of the N64 with I think the cast of FF6.

Well recently Phoenix Wright came out it is a sort of lawyer text adventure game. Also try Wario Touched, Kirby Cursed Canvas and Lost in Blue, another PC like adventure. Or if you don't already have some buy a few GBA games to tide you over till the great stuff hits the scene, like Mario Kart, New Mario Bros. and FF3.

As for fighting games, I think you might have to import to play those on the DS right now. Jump Superstars is supposed to be good, a Guilty Gear game is in works and I think there was a Bleach fighting game also in works.

i'd really stay away from fighters for any handheld. it's just really frustrating to handle. the only reason i can put up with super turbo(gba) version, is cuz it has easy mode for people like guile.

you dont wanna pull off supers or hell even special moves on a handheld. shit wont come out and you're gonna end up throwing your ds to the wall. i have minimal trouble cuz i have small hands but playing as guile on DS = :(

I've said it once and I'll say it again...DUAL BLADES!!!:encore: Dual Blades uses DF, DB, and BF (no charging!) motions because the creators of the awesome fighting game recognized how rediculous it is to do QCF/HCB/360/720s etc... on a handheld.

Man if only I had someone to play against.:sad:

All you need is Mario Kart DS. :party:

ok guys i got my movie player and ,y flash card in the mail today. its really easy to use had no proplems setting anything up. The pictures come out really good and depending on the quilty the vids are not that bad " though converting takes a hella long time, they should make a site for downloading movies on that ds movie player"

i tryed out the nes emulater it was ok but ic ouldnt play mario 3 =/. the music is ok

ill give it a 7-10 and for 25 bucks its worth every penny * goes back to watching porn on the DS*

[AL the great]

mario 3 is a huge game it will not work because of the ram limit on the movie player it's one of the biggest games :( yea it sucks....

as for movies try upgrading the software to moonshell version something or another. it ups the frames by about 2-3 frames which is a pretty drastic change and i music supposedly better sounding (i have not upgraded yet)

NICE! So i guess that one for 25 bucks definetly ain't bad eh? Well at least that sorta eliminates PSP capabilities. It's not like PSP but at least the Movie feature is there. Thanks for letting us know how it works.

Yeah, which ones are you mostly looking forward to?
Make a list if possible.
I'll post mine sometime later.

[AL the great]

wow man anticipated, there's alot lol. alot.

i think the ones i really want are mario kart(just cuz it's online), tony hawk(yes online),
animal crossing, that princess peach game or whatever fuck it is just cuz i'm a platform head, and mario rpg.

those are the ones i'm ubber excited about. some of the games i'm semi excited are sonic, ff remakes, metroid pinball. i'm sure these games are gonna be hella awesome but i just dont see any super new innovative things for these 3 other than dual screen.

they need to release donkey kong country 4 on ds. i'd be all over that and i'd seriously buy multiple copies to give out for christmas lololol.

But I am hyped about it for DS just like everyone else.

Can someone tell me why it's so good?

Is it like harvest moon? If so, I am done.

did you order both from lik sang? i'm guessing you ordered the reader too, and what size flash card? Can you tell me the total for everything? I haven't gotten time to shop for flash cards or reader/writers, so I might just order everything on the website.

i order everything from lik sang but the flash card. I got that from newegg site. since i found a gig for 54 bucks pretty sweet deal

the movie player is 25

card reader is 5

with shipping should be like 35 dollers

im skeptical cuz every time i rush into buying something that catches my attention i regret it a week later

for example, this DS, until now

but MEH...

[Storming Flower]

smoothcat: ah so you ordered the flash card from the site I posted a couple of pages back, which flash card was 54 dollars? Could you provide me a link? I see some for 48, 50 and above and their all different brands, how do you know which one is the best one

Is it like harvest moon? If so, I am done.I haven't played Harvest Moon but I played Animal Crossing for a few minutes at my friend's house. Basically you live in a small village and just do random stuff. You can customize your look, meet other people, do random tasks, etc. Check out the reviews on GameSpot or IGN for more info.

BTW those FF3 screens look HOT. It actually looks a lot like Crystal Chronicles for GCN.

I'm glad that I chose a DS.

Mcdonalds To Provide 6,000 Wireless DS Spots

Nintendo has signed an agreement with Wayport, a leading provider of wired and Wi-Fi high-speed Internet access in public locations, to extend Wi-Fi service to Nintendo DSTM users at nearly 6,000 McDonald's restaurants across the United States. Through the agreement with Wayport, Nintendo will offer complimentary access to Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, the video game giant's new wireless gaming service that goes online Nov. 14.

seems like nintendo isn't fucking around.

indeed, they are not messing around.

I actually read stuff on mario kart DS, (had never read before, but would still buy it) and it is sick.

For the people that don't know yet, game features tracks from snes,n64,gba, and gamecube versions of mario karts.

there's a crapload of tracks. more so than any mario kart game.

[Storming Flower]

not all the tracks from each game, i'm sorry if you misunderstood, just selected tracks.

but still that's hot imo.

[TGC]

I wonder if they're gonna put in every version of Rainbow road, seeing how they all changed in each version. Just to show people sorta like the history of the track, and that would be pretty cool IMO.

[X-Pac786]

it would be, but they aren't going to ... a list of all the tracks has already been released and there's only one rainbow road ...

Latest Children of Mana screens

[ChairHome]

Also worth noting:
Children of Mana is not developed in house, Square Enix has outsourced the game to Next Entertainment, who developed a report on previous Mana games and were selected based on their comments and findings of previous games. Square Enix is apparently outsourcing other titles for their "World of Mana" project. There is also a link to an mp3 from the game at this link:
http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=5709

In other news, Electroplankton will only be sold online (at major online retailers) and World of Nintendo store in NYC in January 06. In a related story, I've had the game since it came out in Japan and need to play it again. Har har.

Wow i just found out right now from that article that only 4 players will be supported for wi-fi...Kinda sucks. But if what that demo guy says is true then it's okay because there's pretty much unlimited racing because you can now play people in europe and japan.

Hell Yeah! I can race my nephew in Germay! I'm still dissapointed they didn't add in all rainbow roads but the fact that I can possibly take on racers from around the world makes up for it!:tup: I'll hope to race against some of you!

[PingPong]

imagine racing 7 other ppl online then... BAMM lag up the yin-yang. imo the 4 players a race/game is to cut down on lag and even lower the probability of a game to get into a lag lock. if anyone has played gunbound, 8 players in a game sure can increase the risk of lagging the room to a stop...

I guess that's cool that DMC is coming to the DS, but without the original team working on it I'm kinda skeptical(DMC3 grew on me eventually but I thought it still could've been taken even further). On the other hand the VJ for DS is the type of "ports" the DS was built for.


That's fucking cool about the WORLDWIDE online play of motherfuckin' Mario Kart and on a fucking hand held no less. I have a router but don't have it set up, BUT as long as I pick up the wifi thingie from Nin. I should be good, no? That's what I read in one of the forums at 1up in the DS section. Here's wher I read that it's all good as long as you have the Wifi thingin from Nin. (http://boards.1up.com/zd/board/message?board.id=nintendo_ds&message.id=26745)

Man the fucking DS is so sweet, wish I had the $ RIGHT NOW, but it's be mine soon enough...oh yes it will be mine...

[TGC]

Yea i guess you're right about 8 players online. I have experienced Gunbound laggyness and yea...it's really fucking bad. I've waited like 5 minutes once for the game to resync.

And yes VJ on DS is gonna be sweet that is all i can say.

In other DS news, If you go to gamestop this weekend (28-30) with your Nintendogs in Bark Mode, you get a free gift (Star-sunglasses) and a voice message from Haylie Duff! Hahahaha. I think I might, just to do it. I think I'm going to trade in my Nintendogs though, I just don't have time anymore.

Nintendo releasing Magical Vacation 2 for Nintendo DS, the sequel to the popular RPG from the developer of the Seiken Densetsu [Secret of Mana] series.

Koei's Nintendo DS action strategy game Shin Sangoku Musou DS [Dynasty Warriors DS] will support the stylus.

Biohazard: The game will have the original opening scene from the PSone version, and a number of new features, such as improved controls from the series; the new four player cooperative and competitive modes....

MistWalker's Nintendo DS RPG Archaic Sealed Heat, from the creator of Final Fantasy - Hironobu Sakaguchi. The game will have pre-rendered graphics, and the battles will have simulation RPG elements.

^the-magicbox.com has pics of archaic sealed heat, the graphics look really amazing.

Guys I got my SD card and my Supercard+Superpass, but they ain't working:

When I put the superpass in and stick Castlevania into it, and then stick the super card into the system, after I get the warning message whenever the DS boots up and I press the button to skip it, the screen just goes white.

If I put the Supercard in the DS by itself, it either doesn't recognize the card is in the slot, or if it does the screen boots "Gameboy" like a GBA does? And then it says "write protect lock, please turn off GBA".

The big number below the barcode is the serial number, right? It says "NU40016176" and then 9 is in a box.

[AL the great]

WOW......that is one of the 1st cases i've heard of this. from what i heard this happens on newer DS's i'm not sure what else to say about this.

MistWalker's Nintendo DS RPG Archaic Sealed Heat, from the creator of Final Fantasy - Hironobu Sakaguchi. The game will have pre-rendered graphics, and the battles will have simulation RPG elements.

^the-magicbox.com has pics of archaic sealed heat, the graphics look really amazing.

Dude, Archaic Sealed Heat does look pretty fucking bad ass.

Biohazard (Resident Evil): LOL i saw the pictures of that one knife between the fingers. I was never good at that, always took a stab at my own hand. I might still get the game cause it's Resident Evil, and I like RE. I won't buy RE5 if it's Xbox only though that's for damn sure.

And Dynasty Warriors looks pretty gay, but if it turns out good i may get it who knows.

And I don't have to speak for the Secret of series, that name says it for itself.

I still don't even own a DS.

[Airthrow]

WOW......that is one of the 1st cases i've heard of this. from what i heard this happens on newer DS's i'm not sure what else to say about this.

when did you get your ds?

i will let my friends know of this problem and i will post back tomorrow of what them pros say. i'm not a supercard expert i know alot more about m3.

The guy I sold it to says the if the Supercard by itself was working it would be the superpass that was broken, but when I put just the superpass in I get the lockout message.

I bought my DS about 3 weeks ago, I guess it is probably new?

How do you update the firmware?

To make sure it's not just my Supercard that is broken, could someone tell me the steps just to play GBA games on the DS? Do I have to format the SD card? (Never used one before). Do I have to update the firmware on the Supercard or something?

When I convert the roms, do I just drag and drop them onto the supercard?

[white shadow]

oh man that'd be great. freakin limited edition ds only people in states that get natural disasters get em LOL. that is too good seriously.

Not only that, but you'd get a lifetime of gaming at your disposable. I could live like Robinson Crusoe for all I care as long as I got me a decent library of games.:cool:

OMFG!

The problem was the little lock on the SD card was switched down (like a 3.5" floppy's write protection) all this time I thought my super card was broken, I just played KOF on it! God, what is this 1995 with the little copy-protection tabs?? *goes to play Meteos*

Actually only the super card works, the super pass does not work so I can't play DS roms, just GBA ones. :sad:

But 256mb of GBA roms is more than enough to tide me over on my 2 day train ride, which is what I bought it for, so no biggie. :tup:

I'll probably just find some scheme to trade in for an older NDS someplace.

One thing I noticed, could anyone with a super card confirm this? I tried playing ST for GBA on the supercard, and the speed was too slow to be playable, anyone know if that can be fixed?

could you elaborate on what else sucks/is dope about the supercard? i'm thinking about ordering one...

and where did you get it? i don't wanna be ripped off...

Well NES emulation is great. Let's see, what is good:

-Uses SD or CF cards instead of a built in flash, so you can easily put entire libraries of games on the go on a couple of tiny and affordable cards (I paid like 20 bucks including shipping for my 256mb SD card and that would fit hundreds of gameboy and NES games)

-You can use windows to make folders organzing your roms on the SD card, and it will be organized that way on the supercard menu. You can easily get to the rom you want out of hundreds if you organize your roms by system and then genre and use the shoulder buttons to skip pages.

-Theoretically you can upgrade the firmware so the emulation will get better, and eventually more systems will be supported.

-On any game you can save wherever you are at any time! :tup:

-While it loads the roms it has an indicator how how long it will take to load, usually (I use SD I think CF is slower?) it takes a coupla seconds at most for roms 8 megs, instantaneous for smaller games.
What sucks:
-I dunno if it's for everyone, but the software to convert GBA and DS roms to the format the supercard can run crashes easily. I have to convert each rom one at a time, if you try to do a huge batch it will freeze up often or have an error. And by "huge batch" I mean 2 roms.

-If you have a newer DS you can't use supercard+superpass to play DS roms, the superpass is incompatible with new model DSes.

Basically if you have a DS or GBA and want a supercard to play NES and GBA and Gameboy games it's damn worth it, especially if you already own an SD card. I am real dissapointed that my superpass doesn't work with it though.

Does anyone have a supercard and need a superpass? I'll sell you mine. :tup:

Mario Kart info. Game is at a constant 60 FPS. Even online. And you can draft behind vehicles to get a boost. Its like when you draft behind a big rig in real life to get a boost (reduces wind resistance). And apparently, this feature was in the SNES version in some form.

http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/games/index.blog?entry_id=1273394

More Mario Kart DS news. Apparently, you can't drag items behind you during online play (technical issue). But there will be something shown after you've played for a certain time that will kind of show how good you are. Details are vague. You also get stars for beating the staff's ghost times. Oh, and the producer claims this is better than SNES Super Mario Kart.

[platinum_pinoy]

OMG, let this fucking game come out already. It's the biggest e-cocktease ever.

speaking of which... i noticed that there is some activity on nintendo's wifi servers and thanks to the wifi site you can see the amount of activity during the day and night etc. etc. etc. anyway i was wondering if nintendo is ready for all of us who are eager to play online, thoughts anyone???

[TGC]

I just read IGN's preview on mario kart. They said there was a bit of lag, but it could've been because there was so many people connected to one router/hub or whatever. Also when they played someone from germany, his kart would swerve left and right and shit, so it's hard to target with shells and ish. And finally, no banana peels or shells loading behind you so no protecting from other shells and shit, which IMO sucks.

Oh well i still hope the game turns out to be damn near good.

You can't protect yourself by dragging items on online mode only. You can do that on local wifi and in the game. It was a technical issue.

Mario Kart has always have some sort of depth, just knowing the course, when and how to turn, using drifting, to get the best times. So yes, people can be categorized by skill.

Yeah I know that. I don't plan to casualy play; I'm gonna know that stuff regardless of it's usefulness, so I'll be a good player. I'm (was) worried about crazy stuff that other competitve games have. Things that aren't normal.

I checked some MK64 superplay. Aside from the glitches and cheats, it seems mostly like good sliding techniques (like sliding down straight roads, not just turns) Doesn't seem like something I wouldn't be able to get a handle on.

What I'm worried about now is...DROP-ERS! Losers who disconnect mid-race so they don't lose.

Online sessions are contested over a series of four races... One problem that we've encountered a lot, which is somewhat surprising given that we're presumably racing against Nintendo employees and other people in the games industry at this point, is that our opponents have been disconnecting as soon as they realize that it's impossible for them to win. It's conceivable, of course, that network problems are to blame for all of our disconnected opponents, but given the predictable timing of said disconnections (after we win the third consecutive race of four, for example), it seems that poor sportsmanship is more likely the cause. Part of the problem is undoubtedly that Mario Kart DS isn't set up to punish players who disconnect regularly in any way, so when you check out your opponents' stats, you can see how many wins and losses he or she's notched up--but not how many times the person has quit out of a session he or she was losing.

I can't stand when people do that to me when reputation is on the line (MK:DS tracks your wins and losses). I assume that no one wants to bother with the fourth race if they know all they will get for their effort is the "Loser" screen, so I think it's possible that this game may have a high drop rate. Anyone else think so?

All I know is that I plan to take my losses like a man. Just think of it as battle scars are cool (err, as long as you have some wins to go with them):tup:

GBA games range from 4 to 16MB. So, at most is 16 games at 4MB each; at least is 4 games at 16MB each. All the RPGs are pretty big (16MB).

[VG Emblem]

Yeah, IGN reviews sonic rush, 9 out of 10.

Closing Comments
Sonic Rush is an extremely polished DS title. It does a great job offering a fantastic, energetic old-school challenge that keeps the classic gaming style alive. Though the market's moved on to 3D platformers which, admittedly, affords developers more opportunity for variety in their designs, this game does evolves the original Sonic style wonderfully by combining contemporary technology with fresh and new gameplay mechanics. And it's tough as nails.

8.0 Presentation
Extensive adventure with several gameplay options. The developers push a decent story, but it's time to start giving DS cutscenes better focus instead of the "subtitled talking heads" type.

9.0 Graphics
Fast and furious action that ties both screens as one. Excellent combination of 2D and 3D elements with some really clever visual effects at work.

9.0 Sound
Extremely catchy background music that's very remeniscent of the Jet Grind Radio style. In-game voice work gives the action some charm, too.

9.0 Gameplay
The fastest, most energetic, and coolest 2D Sonic game created. The "unfair" elements of past Sonic games have been remedied with new and welcome gameplay elements. And it's incredibly challenging.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
The two character structure keeps replay high, and the single cart multiplayer races are surprisingly fun.

9.0
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Awesome beyond words, this'll be mine along with mario kart for sure.
Yeah, does anyone else think ds is the year's best system?

[apokalipze2]

Sonic Rush looks hot, definitely purchasing that when it comes out. The vids on ign are crazy goods

[VG Emblem]

IGN:
After experiencing Mario Kart DS, it's hard to imagine how Nintendo's going to improve on what they've done for this stunning portable rendition. There's so much gameplay and depth in this design, moreso than the series has ever had in the past. It's an amazingly addictive racer both in single and multiplayer modes, and even with the limitations of the online functions, it's impossible to avoid becoming addicted to the long distance Mario Kart match-ups. The only way to finish this review is just to say it: this is the greatest Mario Kart game ever developed, and is without a doubt the best DS game of 2005.

9.5 Presentation
Incredibly thorough single and multiplayer experience with tons of options to beef up the variety. The online component works simply and elegantly, but it's just a little too restrictive.
9.0 Graphics
Super fast, super smooth 3D engine drives the action. All the Mario-esque elements are represented here, and even though the characters are low-poly they still look fantastic.
9.0 Sound
The happy, peppy Mario style of music continues on its happy and peppy direction. Some voice samples are more compressed than others. Stereo effects are outstanding and work well on the DS speakers.
10 Gameplay
This is the best of the Mario Kart best. Kart and weapon balance is incredibly tight, new track designs are fantastic, and the game has an extraordinary amount of playtime well after
10 Lasting Appeal
If there's any game you'll continuously come back to, it's this one. Single cart, multiple cart, and online multiplayer, and single player finally has "bots" for practicing Battle Mode!
9.5 OVERALL

Yeah, this will be awesome. Best mario kart game ever.
I love my ds. In 3 days, sony will beg and cry for mercy.

[SiLLiEMutAfuKA]

Ohhh man can't wait to get MK, go go go~~!

[kcxj]

I'm a new DS owner. Picked up a used one in excellent condition for $109 the other day.

-----

I know this is very old, but "Feel the Magic" is too good.

I picked it up used for $9.99 in case anybody else hasn't bought this game yet. At first I thought it would be lame with the silhouette girl as the female character, but now I think it's perfect because you can imagine whatever hot girl you want her to look like. The minigames are all very wacky, Japanesey, and addictively fun. Also, any game that uses the "boing-ng-ng-ng" sound effect --> :rofl: There's even a bonus "maniac"/pervert mode where you prod the girl with the stylus and she gets mad at you which I think is hilarious and brilliant.

The humor is crude, the sexual innuendo is plenty, and this is some of the most fun I've had for a handheld video game ever. Every DS owner owes it to themselves to pick up a copy of this game if they haven't yet in my opinion.

-----

My friend told me I would love Wario Ware if I liked Feel the Magic. I haven't finished it and unlocked all the bonuses completely yet, but supposed FTM is too short? Wario Ware is still $35 used so I haven't considered purchasing it yet. Can somebody tell me how they enjoyed that game?

What are the other must own games for this system besides Castlevania and Mario Kart too?

Drawing dicks in Pictochat --> :rofl:

[Remy Saotome]

What are the other must own games for this system besides Castlevania and Mario Kart too?Kirby's Canvas Curse and Sonic Rush. And actually, Super Mario 64 DS is vastly modified from the original, and well worth getting even if you played the shit out of original SM64. Not only are there the extra playable character (Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario), but there are extra Power Stars, courses, bosses, and touch-based minigames galore.

[vpt_whatup]

OMG those new Mario Kart and Sonic Rush vids (IGN) are amazing.

[DaliPicard]

Does DS>>>PSP for free or is everyone just excited about MK?

I'm buying either one soon but I think I'm leaning torwards Nintendo(price has a lot to do with it).

[white shadow]

You know white shadow, Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can do a thing, or think you can't do a thing, you're right."

You ought to have more confidence in yourself :karate:

Hey part of being a good player is knowing your limitations, I know what games I'm good at (Fighters, RPGs, Puzzlers, Action/Adventure, Connect Four) and what I suck at (everything else ESP. RACERS!!!).

I'm not saying I can't become marginally good at MK:DS but in this game marginally good against decent/ above avg. players is like Midgetman playing me on a working, perfect setting MVC2 arcade machine... MAN!!!:rofl:

Plus Henry Ford was a anti-Semite so why should listen to him? :razz:

[TGC]

DS is better when it comes to games. PSP I see only as a multifunction machine with crappy games. Only thing that makes it worthwhile is hacking it and using it for ROMS/videos/etc. But i'm not gonna hate on it or anything, but since i'm looking for game machines, i like the DS better.

About mother 3...doesn't matter if it's GBA or DS, the fact is that you can play it on either if you own a DS, and it's mother 3, if it's as good as the others, it doesn't matter.

Great news about sonic and mario on IGN. I need to check out the sonic vids when i get home from work.

[apokalipze2]

The plants level in feel the magic is pissing me off:mad:

[AL the great]

Kcx:
yea i like feel the magic too game is pretty neat. i cant wait for the 2nd one hopefully it'll be even more sexy of a game. i'm addicted to bull and nightmare bull heh.

VG:
wow...way to hype us even more with sonic and mario:tup: . it's pretty ballsy to say the ds is the greatest system for 2k5 from games but once these two games come out along with a little more during nov/dec. it's scary enuff to say the ds, a portable system has the best games for 2k5. i'd definitely say it has most anticipated games this year by far. i think sonic,MK,and castlev really did good on hyping everyone up.

[vpt_whatup]

Just reserved Mario Kart DS at my GameStop. The guy there told me that it comes in on the 15th, and on Wednesday. Considering that the 15th is Tuesday, I'll go and see if they have it then anyways.

As for why I chose DS: I did a lot of thinking before I decided. It came down to three factors for me: affordability, longevity, and connectivity. The DS was a much more affordable choice. On top of the $300 price tag, the PSP requires memory sticks which are not cheap at all. Plus it requires you to buy your favorite DVD's again just so you can watch them on the go. The DS, while it may not be around as long as the PSP, still has a better battery life and focuses on playing games for long hours. The PSP sacrifices battery life for multiple features. From what I've heard, the PSP is great for music, but if you watch a movie then you're almost out of battery. As for connectivity, most of my friends were planning to or already had a DS.

Even with that said, there are still aspects of the PSP that impress me. I don't hate it or say that the DS is better. I just think that at this point the DS was a better choice for me. You have to consider what matters to you most and do a lot of thinking. Otherwise you might find one thing that bugs you to death and decide that you made the wrong choice.

[ADarkSilhouette]

HOLD IT!!!

A couple of you guys meantioned this title, but no one has given it the attention it deserves. And that DS title would be Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

I think each any every one of you DS owers should buy this game.


As meantioned before, this game is a court-game. As the title suggests, you are Phoenix Wright, a rookie attorney. And as you expect, you are presented with a case, and a client that you have to prove innocent. To do so, you have to collect information in the form of evidence and tesimony. Each trial is no more than three days long, with each day having two parts:

The first part is gathering information and evidence. Essentially, you visit locations, examine the area for clues, talk to people involed with the case, and perhaps present them with evidence to get more info/evidence. This process is very linear, and the game will not allow you do begin the 2nd part until you do everything needed. This part can get pretty tedious and you can easily get stuck if you arn't meticulous. The drama that unfolds during this process is very interesting, but the process of getting it is a bit of a chore. This is a game's sole weak point, but a minor one at that.

The second part is the trial itself. The way it works is that the prosecution will present a witness, who will say something about the crime. After that is done, you get to cross-examine. And here is where the fun starts.

The cross-examine is simply the witnesses testimony chopped up into pieces: short sentences or phrases. For each piece, you can do one of two things:

1) You can press the witness by yelling (literally, you yelling) "HOLD IT!". Here you usually ask a question about the statement. This is useful for getting more info, or getting the witness to say more. All to lead up to doing the 2nd thing...

2) ...and that is to object. This is how to destroy false testimonies and prove all sorts of things. This is what you're trying to do almost all the time. To do it, you have to find a "contridiction". This is something the witness is saying that contridicts the evidence you have. To do it, at the point where the witness is saying the contridiction, go to your court records, select the evidene, and yell the one thing that you'll learn to love to yell by the time you beat the game:

OBJECTION!!!

After you object (correctly), prepare to hear a hilarious *SMACK!* and/or *SKEWER* sound effect. And if you really nailed the witness, you'll get an over-dramatic scream and body expression. It's VERY satisfying.


Basily you'll be doing the aformeantioned things for the whole game. Here are a couple of notes about the game...


The game seems short. And what I mean by that is that the game has only 5 cases, but last 3 cases are LOOOOOONG! You'll have played the game for a good 20-25 at least when you're finished. Even so, I do wish they had maybe 2 or 3 more cases, because the last case really introduced some cool gameplay elements that I would have liked use in other cases.
The court system is this game is NOT like ours. They do have the basics, but there are some odd differences. For one, the prosecutors are responcible for the payroll of the police force (which opens the door for corruption). Also, you do not have to present to the opposition the evidence and witnesses you have before the trail (as you may or may not know, you have to give each side proper time to examine evidence here in the states..). But it doesn't take away from the game, since it actually makes the game more exciting.
The judge is an idiot. You will suspect it at the start of the first case, and will know it by the time it ends. The witnesses can be pretty stupid, too.
The game has a great difficultly curve. The first case is crazy easy. I laughed when I heard the witnesses testimonies. The contradictions where so obvious is was uncanny. But as you reach the end of the game an the cases get more complex, you'll be bombarded with so much evidence ann information, you can easily get stumped or confused if you don't pay attention.
The game makes good use of all the DS's functionality. You use the mic to yell "Objection!!" and "Hold It!!" as well as blowing when dusting for fingerprints. The touch screen is used for almost everything, from menu section to examining locations and evidence. And the duel-screen is used mainly by having the text on top and the menu on bottom.
Prepare for some crazy cases. At the beginning of the case, you are given the case, what the procecution and police say happened, and an idea of what evidence/witness they have. In a couple of cases, you'll scratch you head and wonder "How do I defend this?", but as you chip away at the case, what you find at the end is a really crazy (put reasonable probable) story, that took as long at it took to solve because of a LOT of circumstances and A LOT of people who fight WAY to hard to tell you nothing. But that isn't a bad point, since it's the path to the truth, and you trying to figure out what is going on, that is where much of the fun is.


This is a hard game to put down when you buy it. The cases really put you at the edge of your seats, as you second guess yourself as you pry into the truth. Anyone who loves mysteries will love this game. Hell, anyone who likes good stories will love this game.

PLAY IT!

phoenix wright fucking owns me. <3

Been playing super princess peach and I gotta say this game is great. The girly theme might turn some off but the game is definitely in the same league as super mario world 2 on the snes. Great buy too bad I can't read japanese as a lot of the game consits of reading. Can't wait for the u.s release to understand the story a bit more

[AL the great]

son of a bitch gamecrazy sold out of it. i was hella ultra busy today with everything anyways.

gonna buy it at frys elec. today finally, christ.

[kcxj]

I can't get the stupid "Feel the Magic" music out of my head. It's so bad that it even in my dreams last night.

I do love the opening movie for this game though, where the camera zooms in on the bikini girl, the girl gives you a kiss, and then it shows her go-go dancing on the stripper platform. The sequence needs to be longer, I should be able to play it whenever I want without having to restart my DS, and there should be some kind of unlockable where the girl gives you a lapdance and/or dances on the platform while you can adjust the camera.

I also wish you could unlock the sound effects where the characters say the name of stage. My favorite sounds are "Snaaake!" and "Maaagic touuuuch...." :rofl:

I figured out how to beat all the levels on "Signs" on my own last night and it felt pretty good. I was SOO tempted to just go to gamefaqs since I kept getting stuck and it was frustrating. I kept at it and finally figured out the trick to solving the 4 move puzzles is to memorize what the board looks like for the 3 move puzzles. In one move, if you can make the board look like what it would for the 3 move puzzle, the board is solvable. Oh yay! :lovin:

It's really cheesy and extremely nerdy that I'm enjoying this, but I love the "Dance" level also. In particular whenever she goes, "Up!" --> :bgrin:

I can't beat the last level of "Scorpion". I came so close last night too. Just ONE more little scorpion and I would of beat it. Beating this level will be my goal next time I play.

"Candle" is stupidly hard and I keep getting dizzy (in real life) every time I try to beat it. "Monocycle" is damn impossible. I got lucky and beat all the levels on "Chaser" if anybody actually believes that though. I hate the "Plants" level where you only have one life so much. I've never beaten it even once without getting hit a least once by some stupid random tentacle attack.

Had anybody played the sequel to this game yet? I read that it's out in Japan already, and I'm tempted to import it. Does anybody have it and know whether there's an English language option on the game or not? If not, then when's the release date for the US version?

-------

Am I the only one that doesn't like the Castlevania games? I'm not talking about "Castlevania DS" because I haven't played it yet. It's the highest rated DS game on 1up.com right now though and everybody is always telling me how awesome Castlevania is.

I'm trying to play "Aria of Sorrow" for the GBA right now, and honestly, I'm not enjoying it too much. I don't like not knowing where to go and having to do all this backtracking because I get lost during all this exploration. I keep dying too and it pisses me off because I restart back at my last save point (no continue option). I also don't like the girly, metrosexual character designs, and having to pick which weapon/ability I want all the time is annoying. Anything where I have to bash a ton of monsters to level up/collect gold is kind of annoying actually.

I loved "Cave Story" for my computer and "Wonderboy in Monster Land" for my old Sega Master System so much. I'm trying really hard but I just can't get into this similar "Castlevania" game though.

-------

I'm bored with "Trace Memory" already. Would anybody like to trade with me? I really wished it was geared towards an older audience (some scary/jump moments, more morbid storyline as well), but it's not. The art for the game is really nice though. It has a sexy scientist lady who gets abducted and drugged up at one point, but not having the tentacle/anime rape follow up scene ruins all the sexual innuendo that I was hoping for. Having an underaged little girl as the main character too --> :tdown: I really would of prefered an 18+ girl with some boobs at least. Although the puzzles are creative, the game overall is still too easy and I beat it in just two days. What's the other adventure game out for the DS right now?

I don't remember what it's called, but you're stuck on a desert island with a cute girl, but she's really an annoying bitch who can't do anything for herself and you have to take care of her, gather food, etc... "Harvest Moon" style.

I don't know if I like that kind of game either, but it's the only other adventure game out for the DS at the moment. What I really wish there to be is an adventure game with "Myst" style gameplay, but a disturbing, spooky theme like "Silent Hill" or "Fatal Frame".

There's a great flash game called "Ex Mortis" on newgrounds.com that is the kind of game I wish I had for my handheld.
