If anyone wants to mognet some letters on FF III (I don't know what the benefits are though), let me know.

[catchafire]

Just got back from the mall and here are my impressions on a few things:

I got to play both the Wii and PS3. At first I was excited but then I quickly got over all the hype. The PS3 hardware looks VERY ugly, while the Wii is beautiful to look at. The game that was playing on the PS3 looked so damn good, however it's just about a little bit better than the 360. The Wii, it looked like crap (Wii Sports). Also, I felt really akward in the store swinging the controller in my hand. Definately something you'd rather have @ home. Overall, I wasn't impressed w/ either and i'm not going to purchase any of the two systems anytime soon. I'm sure they will be great down the road, but I just wasn't impressed.

So, I left w/ FF3 for the DS. I've played for an hour now, and I think it's a great game. It will definately be hard, because after playing it for 10 minutes, there was just so many battles and I almost died... Too bad they didn't find a good way to use the top screen. The blank screen (top) by itself is a little boring.

[DarkZero]

So you can send letters through wifi on FF3?

[ChairHome]

Yeah, its initially a little difficult, but I leveled up before fighting the first boss, and I've been pretty good ever since. Yeah, if anyone wants to send a letter to me, my code is: 3565-6646-1544, CHAIRHOME.

[Magulorist]

Now that i think about it, i never learn the concept to the whole "Friend Codes" how does it work?

[MechZZ]

Who wants to explain jobs to me? cause once i started changing jobs, i swear it seemed like equiping weapons actually DECREASED my attack....

[ChairHome]

Friend Codes: each person has a specific friend code that ties a specific copy of the game to a specific user. Another user must know the user's name and code in order to play with (or interact with) another user as a safety feature (so you don't have pedofiles playing with younger kids).

Jobs in FF III: I noticed the same thing. When I got my first set of jobs, my white mage had 20 attack. I equipped a staff and it went down to 3. I let her fight barehanded for a while, haha. There's an adjustment period every time you change, it tells you how many battles til that character adjusts to that job. You'll see an icon next to the character (at the status screen) with two arrows pointing down, that means their still adjusting. I think the decreased attack when equipping weapons is somewhat of a fluke that happens at the beginning of the game. And I only noticed it with my white mage. EDIT: I notice it now when I change to any class. I think you have to just increase the job levels for the attack power to really adjust.

[ChairHome]

New SNK vs Capcom DS screens:
http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/2006/11/11/104,1163175763,62993,0,0.html

Just got the second set of classes in FF III. Apparently, you can send letters to characters in the game, too. Not quite sure what this does yet.

[Magulorist]

So if stat gain is ff3 are job based, is it a good idea to switch job every other levels?

[MrQuotes]

gyakutan saiban 2!!!!

fucking love this series

[quiche]

Just got Elite Beat Agents.

I'm HOOKED.

...seriously.

[YellowS4]

Gave up on EBA after a few tracks on insane. Fuck it lol..

Got a hold of Jump Ultimate Stars; I never really got into JSS or wtvr it was and I'm too lazy to understand every single thing on the menu. But it has wifi and thats the only reason I want to give it a chance.

[MechZZ]

Just got Elite Beat Agents.

I'm HOOKED.

...seriously.

I hated normal. The beat was so fucking slow. Once you unlock hard mode it gets infinitely better.


And i'm really digging FF3... although I can see why adverse hated it but so far I think it's the best rpg on DS so far.

And i'm really digging FF3... although I can see why adverse hated it but so far I think it's the best rpg on DS so far.Yeah, I've only had it for a day so far and I've got 2 tracks left til I unlock Hard mode. Can't wait.

I thought it started pretty slow too tho. I didn't even have to repeat a song until "Canned Heat" and it didn't get really challenging until "Let's Dance"

Hard and Ultra Hard mode should be fun tho. God thi sgame is great. I hope they make a sequel with a better playlist though. I'd love more classic rock/punk.

...seriously.

EDIT: Okay, just unlocked "Sweatin'" mode. now this is what i'm talking about.

Anyone else notice the clearly racist undertones of this game? The Blonde guy is the frontman, the guy with light skin and dark hair (see: Jew?) is the leader, and the redhead (see: Irish) and blacks are relegated to backup singers and noobs.

The localization team must have done their research. They have western culture down pat.

[Kyoujin]

Hey everyone,

Does the DS play GBA games? Please forgive me if I have already asked this question.
Thanks.

[WasFemto]

Yes, it does. There's a slot on the bottom.

Got me Bleach back and have been playing that all kinds. Can't wait for the sequel. Wish I didn't have to pick up another router. Would love to start playing this online.

[Kyoujin]

Thanks, Fem.

Anyone played Jump Ultimate Stars? I'm itching to play that.

[Superking]

Now I know what to get myself for Christmas on the DS, Yoshi's Fucking Island 2!!!!!! Or Yoshi's Island DS or whatever they call it. XD

Glad to hear that's pretty much like the original, but just bigger and has more stuff. XD

Best sequel idea ever for an already perfect game.

[Phoenix Wright]

Is Yoshi's Island better than the original? If so I'm sold.

[YellowS4]

Thanks, Fem.

Anyone played Jump Ultimate Stars? I'm itching to play that.

I have it and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

I'll post my Mognet code whenever I get around to booting up ff3. Its fun when there are no Downs to purchase and inn's don't revive you =\

Haha, right on; it looks like alot of fun though. Im also really stoaked for FF3(6) to come out for the GBA, that's going to be a great buy for me.:tup:

[Lebowsk1]

Just thought I'd visit here to set the record straight re: Phoenix Wright 2: Justice for All (I posted earlier saying I was finding it disappointing).

By the end of the game I was totally sold. The stages get progressively better and I believe the 4th stage was actually the best yet from either game. Sure, there was no DS-exclusive stage this time, but stage 4 made up for that by being so spectacular. Roll on the next installment, I'm hooked.

(Hm seems I've forgotten to make a token gesture....)

So yes, in conclusion you'll certainly find no OBJECTION from me when it comes to Phoenix Wright 2!!

:sweat:

EDIT: oh yeah, and I don't have Jump Ultimate but I have Jump Super and can totally empathise with you. I have no idea how the game should be played, and the FAQ is a mission in itself.... I wish i'd done a bit more homework before importing that one.

FF3 friend code: 2835-5302-8882

chairhome: I'm going to send you seven letters so i can onlock onion swordsman. Be prepared!!!:rofl:

[Naslectronical]

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. After employee discount, it ran me about $116.

I've been totally hooked on Magnetica, and I'm looking to pick up Meteos, Kirby Canvas Course, & Kirby Squeak Squad in the near future.

I've been looking at Yoshi's Island DS, but I guess I'm a little put off because I think it should be on a home console, but then again, with Super Mario Galaxy,S uper Paper Mario, and Kirby headed to the Wii next year, that would kind of oversaturate it with flagship platformers.

[Fadedsun303]

I'm curious. What's everyones highest line score in Tetris DS?

I just got 402 lines, and this is phenomenal for me. It was hard reaching 80 lines back on the original Nintendo version. Granted it's easier now because of the option to save a piece for later use, but 402 is still alot.

[quiche]

Gave up on EBA after a few tracks on insane. Fuck it lol..You're missing out.

I'm working my way through "Hard Rock" mode now. Just finished "Let's Dance" and "The Anthem" which unlocked "Survivor" (which is now my least favorite track in the game...not because it's hard, but because the song sucks) So IIRC that means I'm 3 tracks away from beating Hard Rock mode.

One of my proudest accomplishments is getting an S-rank on Sweatin'-mode "Jumping Jack Flash". I'm so glad I saved the replay on that...only fucked up once when my stylus slipped off one of the "phrase bars"

I can't stop playing this game. God I hope they make a sequel or at least put an Agent in SSBB (or even a team of agents :wow:)

...seriously.

[YellowS4]

Someone needs to have open source EBA so you can customize the tracklist and have it autogenerate everything else lol.

Maybe I'll pick up EBA again. Gonna give Eragon a try though.

I don't think I'm looking forward to Portrait of Ruin anymore though, after going through practically everything in the import.

[MechZZ]

Best idea ever. Quiche for SRK president...seriously.

[Mickey D']

Okay...Just purchased my DS last week...and I have never looked back since....this thing is fucking AWESOME!

Games that I have:

- Elite Beat Agents
- Final Fantasy 3

So far I LOVE EBA soooooo muchhhh! It's addicting as hell and Its funn like crazy. I'm not feeling FF3 that much...as a person who played FF back in the OG days, it seems like this is DEFINITELY OG status.....who knows, I'm only in at it about 2 hours....so we'll see.

I wanted to ask for suggestoins for games....please suggest something to me guys! I was thinking about picking up: EBA's prequel (Osu! Tatakae! Ounendan!)

Games that I've been interested in:

- Children of mana
- Yoshi island 2
- Mario Kart

[MechZZ]

Do not buy Children of Mana

What a diaster of a game.

Pick up CastleVania: Dawn of Sorrow, and then get CV: PoR

what else.... New Super Mario Bro's is a good game, Advance Wars: DS. Phoenix Wright(but good fucking luck trying to find that), Megaman ZX is your a megaman fan. ummm Trauma Center is pretty damn fun but it makes you wanna throw your DS at the wall sometimes.

P.S. I have like 12 hours on FF3, I'm loving it, but that's just me.

[Mickey D']

Can anyone here give me a testimony on Phoenix Wright? I'm thinkin bout getting it

[MechZZ]

It's mainly text based, and trial and error but it is FUN. Kudos to you if you can find it.

[quiche]

Ok, an update on where I'm at.

I beat EBA on the hardest difficulty (whoooo) and have now started Yoshi's Island DS, which is a great game (though not as great as Elite Beat Agents.) It's really fun though and Yoshi has tons of abilities, even more than in the 1st Yoshi's Island. Somehow I liked the art style of the 1stno e better though. This one has a lot less of the "moving crayon" look that I loved in the snes one.

I've just started world 4. I've got baby mario, peach, and DK. Baby Wario is specific to only world 3 so far, and I've yet to meet baby bowser.

...seriously.

[FurryCurry]

It's mainly text based, and trial and error but it is FUN. Kudos to you if you can find it.

HOLD IT!

For the folks that can't seem to find Phoenix Wright. Go to Toys R Us. If your store has copies, you can snag one for $19.99. My store had like 7 copies or so and many people on CAG have reported their TRU's carrying a lot of copies (probably a fresh shipment since this game has been printed again). Well worth the dough. I didn't know I could have so much fun with a text based game like this.

Portrait of Ruin is almost here! Just about 5 more days!

[catchafire]

I'm 28 hrs into FFIII. It's a great old school RPG which to me is what I grew up on. I haven't played any newskool RPG so i'm a little biased.

The story is average, but the gameplay is great because of the job system. It's a solid title and I look forward to playing it when i'm at work.

[MechZZ]

So, I just found out that FOUNTAINS are the things that revive you...


that would have saved me a lot of headaches....

[Pinion]

I got my DS Lite a little over a week ago and love it with a passion.

Games I have so far are as follows:

Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime
Tetris DS
Super Princess Peach

I have the DS Wifi USB plug-in but have yet to set it up so I haven't played any wifi Tetris just yet. Once I get it up I'll be sure to post my number.

BTW, anyone play wifi Bomberman Land yet? I was tempted to buy it but I've heard multiplay wifi is terrible. Is this true?

[Mickey D']

Can anyone give me testimonial's on Mario Kart?

[SpizyN00dles]

It's a pretty fun game and one of the first games people get. Really fun when you have like 7 other people playing near you also.

[Naslectronical]

Super Princess Peach



That game can be fun, but I found it to be way too easy.

Anyway, I currently have:

Magnetica
Meteos
Kirby Canvas Course

I plan on picking up:

Castlevania DS & PoR
Polarium
Konductra
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Kirby Squeak Squad(When there's a price drop)
New Super Mario Bros(When there's a price drop)


The DS Lite is turning out to be the first Nintendo console in a long time that I haven't bought for its first party titles at the exclusion of everything else.

[FurryCurry]

Can anyone give me testimonial's on Mario Kart?

It's Mario Kart. And it's the greatest Mario Kart ever. It gives you hot tracks from all the games (including the GBA) and new ones. It has skill improving mission mode complete with bosses. Awesome hidden ghosts for each track in time trial. Terrific battle and star rape multiplayer modes.

And best of all, it's online for a majority of the tracks.

So when I say it's the best Mario Kart ever, it really is. Although I haven't played that Namco Mario Kart arcade game and I didn't play enough of Mario Kart 64 to really say something. But I've played the other two for sure. And I'm telling you man, you need this game as a DS owner.

[Lebowsk1]

I recommend it without hesitation. If you like original games with strong storylines, characters and art, PW is for you. The PW games have been the best thing on my DS to date by a comfortable margin.

[FurryCurry]

It's a fun game. You don't feel like you are trying to find the fun because it's just there to begin with. Right away it's a just pure fun.

I got my Castlevania Preorder gift. I can't use the sexy extendo stylus since I have an old DS. The game case is sweet as f. Very sexy and goes with a DS Lite. The Art Book is short but has a lot of great images from, what looks like, all of the games. One day, Konami should find someone to publish a Street Fighter Eternal Challenge style book. The CD is a whopping 37(!) tracks long. Granted, some are shorter than a minute but it covers many many of the games.

I say it's like the bestest preorder gift ever. Beating out, imo, MGS3:Subsistence's bonus DVD. And it certainly beats out that MGS:PO case (I saw it first hand and it's kinda like... meh. Sure why not.). Great going Konami. So for the next preorder bonus, can we get a whip?

[eddymasta]

just got a DS yesterday with elite beat agents and final fantasy 3, loving it so far. I just pre-ordered the newest Jump! Superstars game. I've heard many good things, should be awesome :)

[Wellman]

If this game was a stripper, I'd actually toss a five its way. Its an adventure game, but still looks nice.

PoR comes out today!

[quiche]

Oh crap, it is shaped like his hand! I was looking at the big black tube next to it (what is that anyway?)

And I Picked up PoR to get the bonus stuff. I prolly won't open or play it for a day or two...maybe longer if I decide to put off PoR til after Twilight Princess Cube.

...seriously.

[Master Chibi]

Pfft.

I'm doing the opposite.

I'm not touching Twilight Princess until after I finish PoR.

The black tube is actually a black strap, and there's a screen cleaner that looks like the japanese sprite for "OBJECTION!!"

I'm in Detroit, and what better time than a 4 hour plane ride to bust out PoR!

Somehow, I'm not feeling this one as much as DoS though. The 2-char system is a bit of a turnoff for me. What 1 char could do before, now it takes 2 to accomplish. :wtf:

You know how Nintendo is licensing out their properties? (i.e. letting Namco make Donkey Konga and Starfox Assault, Capcom making Minnish Cap, etc.) Here's an idea/ How about Nintendo letting the Castlevania team make a 2D Metroid for DS. That would be HAWT.

mognet bs
* go to nintendowifi.com if you have setup questions - you'll need to run the wifi setting options on the game startup screen to connect to the access point
* run into one of the mognet cats
* go to address book and get your friend code
* exchange that with somebody else: must have a reciprocal add or you're dead in the water
* send mail (anything) to A Faraway Friend (unless you have someone local)
* send mail to one of the locals - i think you'll need a total of four mails to everyone
* quicksave (save first if you want), restart your ds, use the ds settings control panel *set the clock forward one hour* (bypasses the 1-per-hour lock)
* repeat send mail/quicksave/restart/clock tweak a total of 7 times (for the Faraway/Local Friend trick)

Also can J:US still be played on wifi in the U.S. (being an imprt and all)?

DS #0755: SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS

Oh shit, now only if I knew what I was actually doing! Good memories from NGP days though. Could use a new fighting game.

[L.one H.iryu S.aga]

NDS - SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS (SNK Playmore): 7 / 6 / 5 / 7 - (25/40)

A little disappointing to see SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters score so low.

The reviewer must have been mentally retarded because I refuse to believe SVCF could be so medicore. It just... can't be crap. How is that even possible? There is no possible excuse for it. I mean... it's a miracle Playmore even decided to go through with it, right? Right.

Current games I'm playing: Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright, Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit Summoner.

Trauma Center has made me regret all of my run-ins with titles that are infamously known for their "free ride" style of difficulty. This game is straight up fierce. It has seriously started kicking my gaming habits off their lotten laurels, and back in shape. I also openly appreciate the fact I don't have drag my feet in the mud just pick apart some asinine storyline for some actual gameplay. Good shit.

Phoenix Wright is just... perfect. Absolutely perfect. One of the greatest video games of all time. I'm no longer surprised as to why this game is still nigh impossible to find in stock even with it rereleased. I will kill a baby to get that damn stylus. Watch me. The average gamer would be hard pressed to find a better portable than this... and should be forever thankful it even exists.

YGO SS is... eh. Wishy-washy and a little iffy. I would probably be completely sold on the game if it wasn't for the unfortunate overextention of anything even remotely fun... in it. Case in point is the pussified difficulty and zombified pacing of the storyline. Triggering events is like... asking God to punch you in the kidneys in front of your baby sister. Completely ridiculous. If you aren't at least lvl. 156 and befriended everyone in your dorm, dueled with them 50 times, collected their deck recipes in alphabetical during a Monday exam... and happened to fist fuck Alexis while Jaden and Dr. Crowler watched you might just be .0002% closer to moving along with the rest of the game! Happy days! ...Christ, are you serious?! Who in their right mind thought this could actually be... fun? And furthermore... why was this course of action even necessary when World Championships 2007 is going to be released in March? What's the point? Ugh. Spirit Summoner is vaguely reminscent of Disgaea which is just... scary. A game where you are literally forced to tend, nurture... and pay the same attention to detail as you would a career/child just to get anywhere near the end of it.

Without the promise of actually being throughly entertained, I just don't have that kind of time, nor will I find the time for a video game.

But yeah, whatever. Props for sick graphics and remaining true to the anime storyline. But I may end up purchasing a PSP just for Tag Force until Konami can get their act together. I refuse to force myself into collecting, meeting, triggering every. single. unecessary. item, card, character... or event possible just to beat a game. It will be a looonnngggg while before I beat it, and I guess WDE will remain to be the only perfect mark on an otherwise lackluster history.

Oh shit, now only if I knew what I was actually doing! Good memories from NGP days though. Could use a new fighting game.

haha, i had a feeling that you were d/ling all your games.

OMG a Phoenix Wright Pointng stylus.

Fuck! I want that stylus so much now but I already both the Japanese version of Phoenix Wright 2 since it has a button to change all of the text to english. I guess this is the curse of my impatience. Either way, Phoenix Wright 2 is a damn good game so far. Right now I just finished the first case which was a good opener to the game. It wasn't as easy as the first case in part 1 which is a good thing since that once was just a brief tutorial. I can't wait to start the next case.

[DVD:madZ]

I just got Gunpey DS and am finding it kind of hard. Damn, how do I chain off those big attacks? It seems like I never get an opportunity to. Is it supposed to be this hard? I tend to only get 10 panels or so.

[Mango91]

I see in those Famitsu scores there's Puyo Pop 15th Anniversary. Pick that shit up sometime soon.
.

Yeah I was looking at that too! Wifi perhaps? Or is it a compilation?

Not to start a debate, but I find the PSP version to be much better.

[Master Chibi]

Kirby Squeak Squad is old school fuckin Kirby awesomeness.

So good <3

[Black Chanler]

So yeah...my DS got stolen and I will have to use my christmas shopping money on a new one. ROCK&ROLL!!!!!!

[AdverseSolutions]

give me something to look forward on ds after portrait of ruin. revenant wings? check. other than that??

[platinum_pinoy]

Not to start a debate, but I find the PSP version to be much better.

How is that game overall? I mean, it seems like simple puzzler, similar to Meteos, right?

[Naslectronical]

How is that game overall? I mean, it seems like simple puzzler, similar to Meteos, right?

It's much more like Lumines. It can be kind of stale at the beginning(which applies to nearly every puzzle game that there ever was), but it definitely gets better with time.

To amplify what I said before, the DS version is an example of a title that has the stylus/touch screen forced in just for the sake of it(much like Nanostray). The game is much better played with standard d-pad and buttons, so if it's not going to utilize the touch screen and it's not an exclusive, then I'd rather have it for the PSP.

[MechZZ]

Not to start a debate, but I find the PSP version to be much better.

Yeah, in every single review, it says the PSP version is better.

[Gasaraki]

Anyone played Contact? It's a pretty cool action RPG, sorta like zelda but you dont' actually attack, you turn on battle mode with the B button(or stylus). The story is pretty cool and quirky too, very unlike most RPGs

I really didn't like it... after a while the game runs dry.

[ytwojay]

Man, Elite Beat Agents is dope. The songs are pretty shitty, but the game is lots of fun. And I love the quirky Japanese humor.

[L.one H.iryu S.aga]

Goldeneye: Rogue Agent = Pure Win.

[ytwojay]

Anybody play through Super Princess Peach yet? How many worlds are there?

I'm gonna play through SPP and Elite Beat Agents, and then probably check out Dawn of Sorrow.

Actually, should I play any of the other Castlevanias on GBA/DS before hitting up Dawn of Sorrow? I didn't want to play through Portrait of Ruin without playing DOS, but maybe I should go one step further and play some of the older [but not too old] Castlevanias.

I <3 my Supercard :D

[Tone!]

I picked it up a while ago, but it kinda took me a while to get into. It plays kinda like a hack and slash MMO, only with a story to me.

It's definately a good game, and anybody who wants to try a different style of RPG should pick it up, since it's only 20 bucks.

I <3 my Supercard :DYou might want to play Aria of Sorrow before DoS. The one goes before the other in storyline. However, PoR is not really related to DoS beyond the continuing saga of the Vampire Killer whip. Go ahead and play PoR.

[SavioR II Turbo]

My time is currently split playing either PoR or FF3. my current team of 1 war 3 redmage is owning up so far.

I’m really enjoying my ds, so glad I chose it over a psp. The ds has really delivered the goods, cant wait to see whats in store for next year.

[MechZZ]

I <3 my Supercard :D

rofl i have one too

Super Princess Peach is pretty fun, and it'll last you like maybe 2 weeks tops.

I played DoS before AoS and it turned out fine.

[TigerGenocide]

I picked one up yesterday along with FF3, Friend Code in sig if anyone wants to send me some mail. :D

[TheMaidenMasha]

Anyone got Yoshis Island 2?

[quiche]

I've got it. It's pretty good, though I think I prefer the original better.

The multi-babies are okay, but wario and bowser are poorly done, and baby donkey kong has like 2 frames of animation while climbing. I like the graphical style of the original better, but this is still an awesome game.

...seriously.

[Master Chibi]

I totally put aside PoR for the new fucking Kirby.

Man Fighter ability is 100% fuckin RYU!

If anybody is interested in getting FF III, there's a coupon that you have to sign up for online that's good for today only at Toys R Us to get it for 19.99. You're supposed to go to the TRU website and sign up, but I did and did not get the email with the coupon :-( It was on the TRU website for that price, but now its out of stock, though you might be able to price match it. There are some workarounds to actually get the coupon to print out, courtesy of "Grilledwitonions" from Cheapassgamer.com:
The link says:
http://offers.e-centives.com/registration/col.cfm?type=portal&id=1BBD95A0-8211-43AD-A716-D56EA3B0A313&e=RILEYSMOM628@YAHOO.COM&fn=RYAN&ln=R ODGERS

Find this:
e=RILEYSMOM628@YAHOO.COM

It's near the end. Simply change it to your email address (or actually, anything: I just tried stupid@stupid.com and it worked fine).

It also has fn (first name) and ln (last name) variables. It doesn't appear to do anything with those values, but then again it MIGHT be putting something in the barcode somehow to be shown when scanned; how possible is this? I have no idea what TRU systems are like.

And, if you DO screw up printing the coupon, just use another email address; that's al it's checking.

I did all of this in FF 2.0 BTW. It's not installing anything but a plugin really, so it's not messing with your system much, and isn't very good at checking how many couposn you printed.

That FF 2.0 is some plugin to print out the coupon. Good luck.


Also, FF XII is only $24.99 there if you're interested. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2465035&cp

In bombshell news for the DS for next year....

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3155838

discuss. I was saying all year that DQIX would be a Wii exclusive, but it looks like I was only half right

[Remy Saotome]

I've got it. It's pretty good, though I think I prefer the original better.

The multi-babies are okay, but wario and bowser are poorly done, and baby donkey kong has like 2 frames of animation while climbing. I like the graphical style of the original better, but this is still an awesome game.

...seriously.I have to agree about liking 1 better. The graphical style had such a cute, hand-drawn crayon look that was just awesome. And the level design was a tad superior. But YIDS is still a very, very solid platforming game.

What's wrong with Baby Wario and Bowser? Well OK, Baby Wario is a bit weird and his magnet is kinda wonky to control and use for interacting with objects, but Baby Bowser is pretty cool.

And Baby DK owns me, you, and the whole rest of the game. Seriously.

[quiche]

Baby Bowser can only have 1 fireball in play at a time and they travel pretty slowly, so if you miss, you have to keep tapping the button and watch him try to spit fire and get nothing, like he has dry heaves, until the original fireball leaves the screen, and while he's riding you, you can't use your tongue, so you can't make any eggs unless there's an egg box nearby. Also, he can only shoot fireballs horizontally, which is a pain since Yoshi's tongue can at least go straight up, and while you have Bowser you can't make any more eggs so you have to conserve what you have. Not being able to attack upwards if you run out of eggs really sucks.

I'll admit that DK is fun, especially his down + X, but somehow when climbing the animation gets really choppy and looks a lot worse than any other animations in the game.

...seriously.

[ytwojay]

Super Princess Peach is pretty fun, and it'll last you like maybe 2 weeks tops.

Is it worth playing through again and getting all of the extras after you beat it once?

[MechZZ]

There's a only a few things you hafta collect. One of the gay things is that you have to collect 3 toads for each level... sorta like how you would collect coins in NSMB. BUUUT, you can't go onto the final level until you collect ALL of the toads.

but after you beat it, i'd doubt you'd touch it again

[SNkNuT]

i got contact, borrowed a friend's copy though. beat it in 10 hours, but i guess there's a lot of end-game stuff you can do (i didn't get the fisher king or shadow thief suits, or do any of the subquests).

I was going to pick up Tetris DS, but Tetris has been done to death, and I really don't see where the use of a touch screen and stylus adds anything other than a different control scheme.

I was also interested in Sonic Rush. For anyone who's played it, tell me, is it worth a purchase?

[quiche]

On Sonic Rush: The gameplay is superb. It's really a wonderful Sonic game when you're actually playing it.

That being said, any time you're not playing it is like being forced to watch an episode of teletubbies. The voice acting sounds like a bunch of kids with their nuts in a vice. The story is insultingly stupid, and the dialogue is worse than having a can of beans shoved up your ass...including the can. If you can bear through the between-play segments, the gameplay itself (which is like 85% of the experience) is superb.

The speed, level design, and music are all top tier.

Though Blaze is a total throwaway character and I have no idea why the keep insisting that Sonic can't be the only playable char in his games.

Oh, and the Boss fights are medoicre.

...seriously.

[TigerGenocide]

Yo Nas, as far as Tetris goes, I picked it up yesterday and I can say its pretty good. The touch screen is used in Touch Mode and its not regular tetris, you use the stylus to move pre-positioned blocks or rotate them to make lines and make this thing at the top come to the bottom, so its a different kind of puzzle.

Its also got Catch Mode and Push Mode, both tetris oriented but not just regular old tetris. Then there's always the Wi Fi games! Somethin to think about.

Yeah, if you send 7 mognet mails, you unlock a secret dungeon and the Onion Knight job (which you should switch to once you get to overall level 95).

When you *get* mail signed with a Master signature, you then visit the Legendary Blacksmith and she gives you the unique power weapon/armor/whatever for that job class. You have to have done the Sara's Pendant side quest (and gotten the Ultima Weapon) before you can use them, though.

If anybody wants anything, lemme know - I walked around with my DS everywhere for 3-4 days to get job level 99 in every job class. =P

It reminds me of Jet Set Radio................so I thought Sega made it, but it's by Square Enix........which expalins why the characters remind me of Final Fantasy Characters.

Either way............this may be the first Sqaure Enix game I get.

[Preppy]

what are the 3 star after you beat ff3? also, the best level up place that I know is BAHAMUT'S LAIR which gives you 5600 exp. Does anyone know another place?Just says that you beat the game, that's all.

Best place to job level is Altar Cave - block for 5-6 rounds, then attack == +1 job level every fight.
Best place to overall level is ... wherever you're able to fight and not die. I've heard that the underwater Cave of Tides has the best exp/monster HP ratio in the game. Wandering around just inside the entrance to the Ancient Maze isn't a bad idea since that way you'll have your mobile hospital (Invincible) nearby plus you can save easily.

[catchafire]

Any good two player games in the vain of contra/metal slug?

Hey Preppy,
Just wondering, what did you get that makes it say "Master Ninja" and "Master Thief" when you sent me mognet letters? Was that because you have the master weapons for the Ninja or thief class? Or did you just write that there and I'm dumb? Haha.

[Preppy]

^-- You have to get job level 99 and visit the Legendary Blacksmith. She'll recognize your Master XXX and give you the Master XXX card (and the unique weapon if you don't already have it).

So I do have those Master class cards (and weapons), but more importantly if you go visit the Legendary Blacksmith (if you haven't already) she'll give you the unique items for those classes - "Oh, I see you have a letter from a Master Thief - you should have this then". Pretty cool.

[ChairHome]

Whoa, awesome. So since I have those two letters from you, I can get those items? Thanks. That's pretty cool. Now I need to start playing again. I stopped after I got the submarine because of other games :-(. This is incentive to start again. Thanks again!

Guess there aren't any? It would be nice if they did. I miss those kind of games, and to tell you the truth they never really had much games that supported two player co-op sidescroll in the vain of contra, metal slug, sunset riders, tmnt 2, etc., on game systems post SNES/Genesis.

I have SFA3 for the GBA, and from what I've played, it's pretty enjoyable. I'm not exactly a SF pro, so I just spam random hurricane kicks and shoryukens, so I can't tell you how accurate the conversion is or if the hitboxes/combos were preserved or anything like that. The thing is, the button scheme is just awful; alternating between weak/medium/fierce hits requires quite a bit of dexterity because you have to use the trigger buttons. It takes a while to get used to.

It's a good conversion though, from what my limited eyes can tell. Fun, too.

[Logos]

For good DS fighting games, stick with the Bleach one and Jump Ultimate Stars. The Bleach one especially kicks ass; it's kind of like a handheld version of GG with Bleach characters; great depth and gameplay.

[fjf314]

I second the Bleach fighter on DS being tops. At this point, though, you may just want to wait until the sequel comes out in February and pick that up.

[Pat the Great]

bleach ds is dope but you might as well wait for the sequel.

the SF GBA games are okay but the button schemes suck for both of them.

Well when the DS first came along, Nintendo released a MP3/MPEG add on for the DS and GBASP. I don't know why they never released it over here, but it should have already been released.

[Night]

Some people don't like Starfox Command, but I ended up liking it. The all touch screen control probably turned off some people, but I got used to it and ended up liking the game more because of it.

Trauma Center, oh man that's a pretty good game. Kinda SCARY too with the music and pressure... and gets me a lil scared about actually getting surgery and the storyline of medical terrorism too, eek. But it's very good stuff.

[Pinion]

What's the deal with Kirby Squeak Squad?

I went to 2 different Gamestops, 2 different EB Games, Toys R' Us, and 2 Wal*Marts and no-one had it? Is the game out of print or something?

Either way I got it via the company I work for (QVC, should be here the 27th) so it's all fine and dandy. But seriously, what's the deal behind that?

This game looks fukin siiiiccckkkkk~! DS has so much style

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=3628

Consider me sold!

Harvest Moon are taking all my DS time right now.

How is this compared to the other Harvest Moon's? I ask this because my sister and her friend are huge Harvest Moon fans, but I was kind of hesitant on buying it for them cause I heard it's not all that good.

[Remy Saotome]

I liked the gameplay in Star Fox Command. The touchscreen controls seemed very intuitive to me and the overall mechanics were quite enjoyable. I was also quite fond of the huge list of playable characters, and how each character has a unique ship with entirely individual gameplay balances (with the possible exception of Fox, Peppy, and James having pretty much the same ship). But since the cast is something like 20 characters, it's no big deal.

However, the story is ass-tastic. They seemed to be trying to hard to make it really dark, but instead end up with a completely implausible premise. But story aside, the gameplay is stellar IMO, and that's what really counts.

As for DS games that use the touchscreen well... of my library, I would give that title to Kirby: Canvas Curse. Star Fox Command and Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis are pretty good as well. Although Mario vs DK 2 can be a little overly twitchy sometimes.

[quiche]

2. What are some god games that take full advantage of the touch screen?Hands down, Elite Beat Agents.

Btw, IGN and Gamespot gave Elite Beat DS Game of the Year.

IGN hasn't done its overall awards, but Gamespot gave it Overall Music Game of the Year too. I fully expect IGN to also.

...seriously.

[orochizoolander]

Although psp has a better game library and i spend all my time playng metal gear portable ops the ds lite is still a great system here r the games i have for it:

castlevania: dos
sonic rush
mechasault
new super mario bros
puyo pop
metroid
megamanzx
mariokart


...U know what after posting that list i have to say psp has only a Slightly better game library n if it werent for metal gear then the 2 systems would b dead even in terms of good games.


I work at a gamestop but i couldn;t get kibry squeek squad either LOL we got the first shipment like 3 weeks ago we had like 20 of them n a few hours later they were all gone i was like WTF!!! n we havent gotten any other shipments of it yet but EVERYONE asks for it it's almost as much in demand as the guitar controller and ps3/wii. but whatever i dont even have kirby canvas curse so when i get that by the time i beat it squeek squad will be everywhere.\


I plan on getting bleach ds online but i never played jump susperstars so should i skip it and buy jump ultimate stars?

...so I went to give my girl her DS and she hands me a box with the exact same dimensions....we're both like "hmmmmm" and bust out laughing. Yeah, she got me one too.

Gonna be some sick battles @ home...:lovin:

[white shadow]

Shit looks hot....


Let me just say this, apart from SNK's Capcom vs SNK for Neo Geo Dual Blades is the most refined fighting game to ever hit a handheld. Instead of trying to modify the GBA to work for modern fighters, they realized the control system was flawed and made the moves have DF motions instead of QCF, making our lives much easier.

Plus it incorporates the many fighting elements, like parrying, super cancelling, and unique kind of Roman cancelling and much more.

.....Plus it incorporates the many fighting elements, like parrying, super cancelling, and unique kind of Roman cancelling and much more.

Thats sick. Yeah, after your suggestion I looked it up and when I saw the thing about parrying 3S style it was a big wtfomfg! I won a copy on Ebay over the w/end ($8 shipped :rofl:)....soon it will be mine. Not sure if I can VS somebody with the DS....perhaps the GBA had 2 player VS via that cable or something?

Gonna wait for that Bleach 2 on DS and yeah, I need that Ultimate Jump shit too.

[Fadedsun303]

Has anyone gotten Jump Ultimate Stars yet? If so, how is it?

[L.one H.iryu S.aga]

Why didn't any of you in here preach Bleach DS as the irrefutable truth!?

[catchafire]

What's so great about Bleach DS?

[versus addict]

New Super Mario Bros vs battles are the new crack....such an awesome game on every level....

I also can't stop playing Metroid Pinball.

We still have like 10 games unopened between the 2 of us. Trouble...

[Pat the Great]

bleach ds is totally awesome in some respects. namely:

it's very, very, well developed. it feels tight, like a street fighter game, and there are plenty of engine features (chain combos, air combos, supers, alpha counters, lots of different characters, etc.) that keep things pretty interesting. eight-way command dashes, EX moves, crazy OTG combos, and an easily accessible Burst that keeps things from getting TOO broken.

the downside to everything is that bursting is a little bit TOO easy (it takes 1 super meter!) and alpha counters are likewise TOO easy (do any command move/dash while blocking) that attacking ends up kind of willy-nilly. but to pick up and mess around with, especially on the DS, it's damn good. hopefully the sequel will have less lag.

and as for Starfox Command:

it does some things really well. some of the different mission-based levels are cool, and i like the tactical map stuff. the problem is that the game itself was dumbed down to work with the ds touch screen, so it's not really that hard in the same sense that say, starfox 64 was, the plot sucks donkey balls, the multiplayer also sucks donkey balls, and the missions get repetitive.

Its annoying, but after saving, you have to do a "save to card". I think its something like L+A+B+START or L+A+B+SELECT. One of those should save it, the other is to do a save state like an emulator. Look it up, there should be a site that describes it.

I'm not sure how the volume compares to the original and DS Lite, but in an open area, without headphones... even with the volume at max, you may not hear everything as loud as you'd like. In an enclosed area where you're alone or something it's fine. I hardly ever play it with without headphones anyway since that's the best way and I suppose appropriately enough, the standard iPod headphones match well w/ the white DS Lite hehe.

My wife got that game, and I've played it a bit. The classic battle mode is pretty awesome, but we've only played it with three people, I'm going to see if we can get more people playing that this weekend.

The only thing that sucks so far about the game is the fact that for the mini games, if you play them via wireless multiplayer, you have to do a new connection for each new game. Am I wrong? Please tell me I am, because everytime we wanted to play a different mini game, we had to turn off the ds's that didn't have the game and make a new connection.
