Since this thing is selling like hot cakes, I wonder how many CF members have one? Few questions: What's your opinion on it? My ans: I think it's alright, but the games available, IMO, aren't that great. What games do you have? My ans: Super Mario 64 (complete trash) Mario Kart DS (after reading all the hype I am disappointed because I thought it would be a game that I would be playing alot) Animal Crossing WW (why the hell did i buy this?) Brain Age (I got this for free at best buy with a coupon... it's decent and not a complete waste) Elite Beat Agents (the only game that was worth my money... it was real fun because it was challenging and wacky, I really enjoyed it) Do you play it often or is it collecting dust? My ans: Yeah I played it often after I bought EBA. But then after I beated EBA, now I don't know what to play. The available DS games just doesn't do it for me.
Few questions: What's your opinion on it? It's ok. I still think the touch screen is a gimmick for most games. Very few games utilize and take advantage of the touch screen. What games do you have? Purchased...1. Roms...all Do you play it often or is it collecting dust? Rarely play it, I only play it when im on a trip and have nothing better to do.
Oh wait till you try to beat JJF on Hard Rock... it is almost impossible. (but I did it ) Btw, is chow_yun_fat some millionaire? This guy has all the systems. Thanks for the replies!
Wow, you don't think there are a lot of good games for the DS? I think there are a ton of them. I love the new Super Marios brothers. One of the most awesome platformers evah. And I think there plenty of games that use the touch screen very well. Elite Beat Agents is one of them. BTW, I really like the Japanese version of that game a lot better. The songs are much better IMHO even though I don't understand a word.
I'm a bum. I just have a very video game crazy family 'thanks to the younger me'. McGrady, here's a list of games I would recommend. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Castlevania: Potrait of Ruins Tetris DS - Fun online. There are some hackers that ruin it and it takes awhile to get a game started. Advance Wars: Dual Strike - Military strategy game. I've never played it, but if it plays anything like Military Madness, then it's great in my book. Clubhouse Games - 42 all time classics, online mode is decent. Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime - If you like cutesy kiddy type of rpg games. Brain Age - Which you own, I was hooked on the sodoku more than the training. Mario Kart DS - Another one you own. It's fun if you play it online or with other friends who own a DS. Trauma Center: Under the Knife - Good game if you ever fantasized about being a doctor. I just skip all the mumbo jumbo and get straight to the operations. Wario Ware - I enjoyed this game, but it got old pretty fast. Contact - I highly recommend this game. I probally played this game more than all the other games combined. People say it's a Earth Bound clone (I never played EB so I wouldn't know) but the game is a refreshingly different approach from the typical Final Fantasy rpg's. I could go on about all the DS games I've played but, I'll spare the bbs my boring rant.
That's kinda surprising; if you liked EBA, then there should be a lot of games to entertain you. There are plenty of quirky games like that on the system. I have one, and for a while there (before I got my 360) I played it more than any of the last gen systems combined. Was thinking about picking up Contact, Ace Attorney 2 or Castlevania: PoR just the other day.
I don't own one yet because I can't find one anywhere. It's amazing that it would be sold out after what, a year or so? I found the game I wanted, now to find a DS..... Lol
Yeah I have one, play it often, great on the pooper. Games I have: Advance Wars: Hours and hours of strategery fun. Mario Bros. DS: Very fun, but gets repetitive. Elite Beat Agents: Very awesome, needs more levels, and the hard modes are ridiculously hard. Stuck on the very last song, dammit. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow: Symphony of the night on the PS was the best Castlevania game ever. This is pretty much the same thing on the DS, and it's awesome. I have Portrait of Ruin coming in the mail tomorrow. Easily put 25+ hours into this. Yes there are a lot of crap games for the DS, and a lot of licensed ones that suck, but there are a fair amount of really good games that use the interface well. For portability and straight entertainment, it can't be beat.
I'm sort of looking for a game that others can enjoy and not just for me. Elite Beat Agents is a good example - my friends wanted to play it alot. Contact doesn't look all that great... I could be wrong. I have the feeling that Pheonix Wright is a short game that I will put away after I'm done with it. I'm not really interested in Castlevania. I'm also not interested in Advanced Wars... I played the one on GBA and it was crap. I don't like portable turn based strategy games unless it's FF Tactics (not the Advanced one).
I don't quite understand...are you talking about multiplayer? If not, then it sounds like you only want a game your friends will enjoy? Sorry, I'm not sure what you are looking for. The Castlevania ganes and Advance Wars are among the best for the system. I liked New Super Mario and am looking forward to the Dragon Quest stuff. Trauma Center, Cooking Mama, Brain Academy, Wario; they all remind me of the type of game EBA is.
I have one and I still absolutely love playing the New Mario bros. 2 player mode. Absolute madness and fun there. Final Fantasy III is pretty cool too. Also, you can't forget that it also plays all Gameboy Advance games. Gives you a lot of chep options to try out from time to time. I still get on River City Ransom EX when I'm in the mood.
