Nintendo in 2010: Part 2 (The DS)

[Nintendosbooger]

Here are some of the notable releases for the best selling system this generation, the NINTENDO DS. The DS saw another great year in 2009, easily overshadowing its main competitor, the PSP and the PSPGo (rofl), in terms of quality of games and sales.

[recursivelyenumerable]

infinite space does look pretty rad

[archie4208]

You put some Yu Gi Oh shovelware over 3D Picross?  

[Mr. Gundam]

Lots of games I'm interested in, but seeing how they're on a handheld, I'll more than likely never play any of them.

I've got a DS Lite, I just never play it. DQ IX and Strange Journey look great, though.

[demi]

Iron Man 2

[Beezy]

Ace Attorney
Blue Dragon
Dragon Quest IX
Golden Sun
Infinite Space
SMT: Strange Journey

The rest are remakes, have shit 3D, or I never heard of them, but they look like shit. This is no better than the Wii thread.

[MoxManiac]

wow, aside from Infinite Space and SMT Strange Journey, what a shitty shitty lineup

[Nintendosbooger]

You know, after my Wii thread (which you guys butchered, thanks btw), I'm not the least surprised by most of your anti-Nintendo responses.

There are some GREAT games coming out for the best video game system this generation, and you'd have to be a blind, Nintendo hating fanboy to say otherwise.

I see a record breaking software year for the DS in 2010. There are games for everyone this year on the handheld.

Iron Man 2 = huge improvement from the last one. Don't sleep on it, guys.

[The Fake Shemp]

Iron Man 2?

Nintendosbooger delivers another quality thread of comedy.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

:/ I love my DS, but that list seems a bit underwhelming.

[Rman]

I'm really looking forward to 3D Picross.

Thanks for the boxart, I'm hyped

if we were blind how could we even play videogames let alone read this thread?

hm?

HM?

[Vizzys]

i want me some golden sun ds

and some smt

i think ill try sands of destruction even though rumors are its mediocre

infinite space from what ive read/seen sounds pretty good too

nintendo ds rpg portable

[Nintendosbooger]

:/ I love my DS, but that list seems a bit underwhelming.

In what way? It has Wario, it has Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Phantasy Star, other great games from other genres. How is it underwhelming??

Everyone laughed when I said X-Men Origins: Wolverine DS and Spiderman: WoS DS were going to be solid, and they turned out to be good games. Iron Man 2 is of the same cloth, trust me.

[drew]

someone tell viz that i am no longer talking to him

[cool breeze]

[drew]

the ds is the worst peice of plastic shit ever to be sold under the guise of "videogames"

i think you have opposite disease or something nintendosbooger

[Rman]

nintendo ds rpg portable

Yeah, basically.  I tend to finish most portable RPGs, unlike their console counterparts.  

[cool breeze]

honestly, the gaf thread made me think there was nothing, but this thread reminded me of some games (like Ghost Trick).

[Nintendosbooger]

Dude, you're full of shit. Why do you post in these threads with your trolling shit when you have absolutely no interest in the topic at-hand? Do us all a favor and shut the fuck up!

[magus]

bu bu but i like card games  :'(

SMH, DS is a shitty rpg system. It doesn't matter how much of them there are if most of them are remakes or just plain suck.

[drew]

SMH, DS is a shitty system.

fixed

[DJ_Tet]

What's the story on Blood Bowl?  I was hoping with all these stupid 'exclusive' contracts that some companies would go back to making fantasy type sports games but with stats/players etc like they used to.  Blitz the League is ok but I miss things like Mutant League Football or CyberBall.

I'd kill for a new CyberBall actually, I still play the arcade version from time to time.

[drew]

well since its on the ds it probably sucks

It's a turn based strategy game based off a board game of the same name.

[Mr. Gundam]

Is that a bleach RPG?! What's the combat like, turn based?

Looks like a strategy game, similar to the Super Robot Wars and SD Gundam G Generation titles.

SMH, DS is a shitty rpg system. It doesn't matter how much of them there are if most of them are remakes or just plain suck.

The DS has the best collection of RPGs out of any system. That is FACT. Complain about the remakes all you want but I suspect you havet eve played the original games, either. You're bitching for the sake of bitching. Maybe you'll have a better RPG experience on the PSPGO!

[Himu]

Interested in:

Ace Attorney
Blue Dragon
Dragon Quest IX
Dragon Quest VI
Infinite Space
SMT: Strange Journey

DS once again only has rpgs.

I wish I had a flash cart so I could pirate ALL of these that AREN'T Strange Journey (maybe DQ too because it needs the sales).

PC, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, PSX and PS2 owned by Nintendo DS.

The DS is where the JRPGs are at this gen, but it's a handheld and I never play them unless I'm on a trip.

[Himu]

Not to mention handheld rpgs pale compared to other rpgs. There's the occasional hot title like Etrian, but for the most part I find handheld rpgs lackluster and full of C-grade titles.

Thankfully there's DQ and SMT.

Just because ds has all the rpgs this gen doesn't mean they're GOOD rpgs.

Infinite Space looks kinda cool, but DQ IX and SMT: Strange Journey are the only ones I will definitely purchase.

Dragon Age, The Witcher, Risen and King's Bounty are on the DS?  Holy shit, that system is a beast.

Yep.

[magus]

i'm calling strange journey to be a disappointing game,being burned on every atlus game released since many many moon ago...

i think i have some hope for this one since it seems to be close to nocturne but i wouldn't bet my money on it... anyway sands of destruction get released in a week,maybe it's a cool game

[Himu]

How has every Atlus game since Nocturne burned you?

[Vizzys]

I must be the only golden sun fan  :'(


anyway yeah, fuck rpgs, get excited for ds sequel of the forever, the game everyone is waiting for

[youtube=560,345]FnmEgcC0T5Q[/youtube]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

just kidding, hotel dusk sucked

[close]

[Himu]

Hotel Dusk sucked dick.

It makes me LOL every time I see someone on gaf call that shitty game a masterpiece or "one of the best game stories" told.

[Nintendosbooger]

Breezy, for every 1 high-profile RPG you mention from the HD consoles, I can name 3 on the DS that are just as fun.

Hey, anyone hear about Etrian Odyssey 3? Any more information released about it?

[Beezy]

Himu bringing that real talk. Jrpgs just aren't the same this gen.

Even if I haven't played all the FF and DQ games, remaking them in shitty 3D is not gonna make me wanna play them. I rather play the snes roms or the PS1/GBA 2D remakes.

DS 3D
DS RPGs

[Purple Filth]

So

Dragon Quest IX
Golden Sun
Infinite Space
Maybe SMT

Will wait for the internet to help me out with these.

[Himu]

Well, I find jrpgs on the hd consoles just as lackluster. Although I have to play Demon's Souls or TLR. What I played of FF13 was pretty standard too.

[demi]

Beezy what 3D remakes of DQ are you talking about? They're very 2D. I'm enjoying DQ4 more than I was the SNES games I was attempting to play through.

Well the DQ remakes are all 2d, with the exception of the backgrounds and environments. They're pretty beautiful games I think.

(Image removed from quote.)

I remember getting a game over when I told that little bitch to shut the fuck up.

One time when we were debating Hotel Dusk on gaf, I brought that up and someone actually DEFENDED it.

[Nintendosbooger]

Himuro, why the hate for Hotel Dusk? It was a very serviceable game and I enjoyed it. The controls were on the money, for the exception of the part where you had to cut the coat hanger wire. Storyline was pretty dull in the beginning but it really came together in the end.

[Beezy]

Breezy, for every 1 high-profile RPG you mention from the HD consoles, I can name 3 on the DS that are just as fun.

I never said the HD consoles had a lot of good rpgs, but okay. I wanna see your list.

Tales of Vesperia
The Last Remnant
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Demon's Souls
Valkyria Chronicles
FF XIII

I'm not gonna add western rpgs just to be fair. Name 21 DS rpgs that are worth playing.

Beezy what 3D remakes of DQ are you talking about? They're very 2D. I'm enjoying DQ4 more than I was the SNES games I was attempting to play through.

Oh okay, then it's just the FF remakes that are in shit 3D.

[Vizzys]

i beat hotel dusk

my secret shame

the pressure on my eyes was indescribable

i mean the boredom

[Himu]

terrible story
terrible writing (the translators were more talented than the writers)
average puzzles
shit graphics (that's outside of cutscenes or dialogue options)

An adventure game without good puzzles and story is basically suicide for that game. I liked the premise, but the actual game bored me to tears.

[demi]

To nintendobooger, an iron man RPG is worth playing... lmao

[Beezy]

Ah, Beezy, throw in a better qualifier than "worth playing" or he's going to be able to do it.  I have 22 DS RPGs that I'd consider "worth playing" and I'm missing a ton.

I dunno, how about 21 that aren't mediocre? Then again if they're mediocre, they're most likely not worth playing.

[Rman]
