is there any point and click adventure games coming out for it and do you know if any RPG games will be coming out for it e.g Final Fantasy

Dasilva · 10-25-2005, 05:06 AM

Trace Memory is one of them. You can also play older games like Monkey Island on it with the new SCUMM DS emulator.

***fov*** · 10-25-2005, 06:51 AM

There's some info about adventure games on the DS in this thread.

squarejawhero · 10-25-2005, 08:37 AM

Perhaps we need another thread for non-adventure DS titles, Fovily?

I just found out that they're doing a Urusei Yatsura title! HUZZAH! Here's hoping for some Ranma 1/2 in future...

Er... non adventure DS titles anyone?

sethsez · 10-25-2005, 10:47 AM

Non-adventure DS titles worth playing (ie, most DS games worth playing):

Meteos
Lost in Blue
Trauma Center
Phoenix Wright (could be argued to be an adventure, but meh)
Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow
Kirby Canvas Curse

As for RPGs, there's a new Lunar out but apparantly it sucks. Final Fantasy III (Japanese III, not American III which was actually VI) is being remade, and a new Mana game is coming.

Hell yeah a lot of good non-adventure games are coming out soon, anyone ready for some Mario Kart DS?

I want to beat Squaresie in Mario Kart!

and I want to beat everyone in Metroid Prime Hunters next year! Everyone! Marek, Jake, Squaresie, Chris...

Oh yeah I really can't wait for the Wi-Fi connection to really start kicking.

How can u call a game where u re looking for evidences and talking to witnesses for resolving murders a "non adventure" one ?

Of course it s an adventure game and a great one !

The non-adventure DS games I have:

-Mario 64 DS (I never owned Mario 64 for the N64, so I'm having a blast with this one; it's quite different from the 2D Mario games (it promotes a lot more exploration instead of just running around; for some reason there's no time limit) and the bonus mini-games included as an extra (most unlocked by playing the main game) are extremely fun and worth the price of the game)

-Warioware: Touched! (man, this one is totally screwed up; I never understood how a game based on mini-games that last less than 5 seconds could be any fun, until I actually played the first game of the series; although some reviews gave it lower scores than the GBA games I really enjoyed it; it's one of those games you finish, but you always come back to unlock a few more things, or just to have fun; and you wouldn't believe how plain bizarre some of these mini-games are)

-Electroplankton (not really a game, but extremely interesting; it's creator called it "Multimedia Art", and it was actually featured on a museum in Japan; you really have to try it to "understand" it; it's "pointless", it has no score, no lives, but I really enjoy playing around with it (too bad you can't save the music you play); I have the Japanese release, but it will be available in the US and Europe early next year)

-Project Rub (it features mini-games like Warioware, but it wraps it around a totally screwed up love story (bulls, a punk, and mechs; enough said

); I totally loved it, it's one of those games that makes me think I made a great choice when I picked up a DS; I can't wait for the sequel)

-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (one of the main reasons I bought a DS was to play Castlevania games; with it I was able to buy and play the GBA games, and now this one; I'm still playing it, but so far I'm having a total blast; I can't believe how some people say this looks like the GBA games, it looks wonderful, the images on websites don't really show the true graphical quality of the game; whoever thinks 2D games are dead should take a look at this one)

Because sometimes the people at this site are as protective of the term as punk fans are of "punk." I was playing it safe.

Wouldn't it be "point" but not click because there is no mouse.

Tobbe · 11-01-2005, 01:21 AM

OFF TOPIC- Playe Nintendogs at a supermarket, fell in love with it, those puppie are so cute!

Kolzig · 11-01-2005, 01:25 AM

Yes they are, I tried to get my friend to sell me his game tha came with the DS bundle. He doesn't like Nintendogs, he is a cat person.

Spoiler:
Just kidding, cats are nice too

Tobbe · 11-01-2005, 01:29 AM

Yep, cats are nice too!

Where could I buy a DS cheap, I really want it, don´t have enough cash though..

Kolzig · 11-01-2005, 04:37 AM

Gigantti has it for 129€ and it comes bundled with Nintendogs, that's the cheapest I know. If you think about it, this way you only pay 89€ for the DS.

Karmillo · 11-01-2005, 06:45 AM

Whata Trauma Center like? is it just surgery after surgery or is there any story to it?

Lucien21 · 11-01-2005, 08:09 AM

There is little bits of story in between, but it's mostly surgery. At least as far as i have played it which is only about 2 hours.

Kolzig · 11-03-2005, 01:58 PM

Here's a couple of fresh links about DS gaming.

Mario Kart DS
http://gba.gamespy.com/nintendo-ds/m.../663801p1.html

and this especially is very awesome:

New Super Mario Bros.
http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archi...io-scans-more/

New pics and info about the new Mario game and more.

Funktion · 11-03-2005, 02:03 PM

2 more for my collection...

I can't wait for the new Mario Bros. game, I really miss playing a great Mario 2D game. Super Princess Peach also looks pretty cool, in some things (levels) it kind of reminds me of my favourite game of the series, Super Mario World.
