Yeah, I play the hell out of my DS.  I take it everywhere.  I play it on the way to work, at work and at home.  Right now I'm rocking Castlevania.  I still got some butt whoopin' in Final Fantasy III to do.  And I'm bound to get three to five more DS games added to my collection this holiday season.  Best system out.  Who needs a PS3?

Consoles > handhelds

The day I prefer a handheld over a console is the day iI give up gaming.  >:(

Then you'll just get a PC, which is what I'm probably going to do soon.

Japan is going handheld, dude. Cellphone gaming augured the end of Japanese console gaming. If you want your wacky jappy hentai loli rape party games, yer gonna hafta go HANDHELD.

Here in America, where we're big ol' rompin' stompin' fuckbeasts made of congealed testosterone, we play 360 PLUS RAINBOW SIX VEGAS. Buy a 360!

Looks like the DS could become more successful than the original Gameboy or even the Playstation now in Japan, and get close to the PS2's worldwide numbers

Walk with a nicca:

-US: 25-30 million seems possible. 20mil at the lowest; it's already surpassed 10mil
-Europe: 20-25 million; already at around like 8 million or so
-Japan: 40 million; already past 12 million

what exactly is there to play on the DS that's really good and not glorified flashgames (Nintendo Dogs, Animal Crossing ect)

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Children of Mana
Final Fantasy III
Yoshi's Island DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Clubhouse Games
Tetris DS
Megaman ZX
Sonic Rush

and a couple of others that escape me.
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 12, 2006, 01:47:46 AM
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Mario Kart: DS (from what I hear, still need to pick it up)
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 12, 2006, 01:48:01 AM
Chris, stay away from stylus crap -- hell, most DS devs are now and are treating it like the GBA SP^2.

Get:

New Super Mario Brothers
Castlevania: PoR and DoS
Megaman ZX
Yoshi's Island 2
Children of Mana
Final Fantasy 3
Advance Wars DS
Kirby: Squeak Squad
Mario Kart DS
Tetris DS

Note: none of these games require a stylus in any significant capacity. They're also the best games on the system.

Did you ever play the first Kirby DS game? It was really good, and really showed what the DS was capable of.
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 12, 2006, 01:49:21 AM
I thought it was pretty funny that Portrait of Ruin dropped all the stylus elements from Dawn of Sorrow.  Top screen map is the best thing that's ever happened to Metroidvania.

Oh sorry guys haven't had time to play my DS, jesus fuck there is a lot of stuff

Phoenix, yeah, it was alright, but too easy and too short. The Kirby-to-line touch detection was janky, too.

Oh shit, you have a DS already? You should've spent the money you spent on Wii on DS games!
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: Phoenix Dark on December 12, 2006, 01:53:13 AM
I need Advance Wars; I LOVED Fire Emblem and want more of that gameplay.

Haven't played a Castlevania since SOTN so I want to check out DoS, and later PoR. Basically whichever one I can find considering how few copies Gamestop/Walmart/etc got here in Michigan.

Children of Man is a must

FFIII...hmm. I want to try FFV first

Naw, it's just DS.  DS is what's out of the ordinary.  PS2 is also still hugely popular.  The interesting thing is, when I look at the top selling DS games, it's only a few titles that really seem to push the system into the stratosphere.   It's the Brain-Age games, New Super Mario Bros., and Pokemon pearlywhitecum that are dominating everything.

Go read Mejilan's official Children of Mana thread over at GAF. It seems that the game is worthless if you don't have someone to play with.

The dumbasses at Square killed the Mana franchise years ago. They're actually trying to do something different with Heroes of Mana for the DS, so I hope that turns out good. I don't know wha tot think of SD4 for the PS2...  :-\

Well Animal Crossing is way more than a glorified flashgame.

But-t-t-t.. other than AC

Meteos
Kirby Canvas Curse
Zoo Keeper(ok a flash game, but its still fun)
New Super Mario Bros
Mario Kart DS
Castlevania DS

But like Beezy said, does it feel boring/incomplete if you don't have someone else to play it with?

Me too!  But I loves me some Puyo Puyo action.  I think it makes for a better competitive game.

Surprisingly, I left my DS at home because I didn't take my Nintendo manbag with me to work today.  I'll post it when I get home.

Why don't we get some 4-player going?
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 14, 2006, 08:03:21 PM
Is there 2-on-2 Tetris?  If so, I call Cajole.
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 14, 2006, 08:03:41 PM
I'm pretty sure it's just 4-way head to head, and you have to use items.
Title: Re: Nintendo DS now the best system out
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 14, 2006, 08:04:15 PM
I still call Cajole

4-player is pretty damn fun.
