Nintendo DS - Page 3

Kolzig · 08-18-2005, 02:02 PM

I hope Sonic Rush has the cool and fun gameplay of the old MegaDrive games. I hate the GBA Sonic Advance games.
At least the videos and screenshots look really nice, seems to me that the levels are designed much more wisely than the GBA Sonics.

Also it would be a plus if the musics were made by the same guy as in the MegaDrive games, the musics in the GBA versions are horrid...

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 02:11 PM

There's far too many cool things on the Japanese DS. I want the music-related things, like Elektroplankton. Might have to buy one and blame you guys, sell some stuff for it.

Starflux · 08-18-2005, 02:31 PM

I'm playing Another Code at the moment and I love its charming atmosphere.

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 02:33 PM

Hm, I suppose I'd better get an English one, but there are so many cool things released for the Jap version.

Stoofa · 08-18-2005, 02:35 PM

If you buy an English version NDS you can still play Japanese games on it, and vice versa, it's universal!

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 03:19 PM

No sheeit? Really?

edit - I checked. It's TRUE! Crap. I can't afford this,. *reaches for credit card*

Kolzig · 08-18-2005, 10:12 PM

Yeah, didn't you know that Nintendo DS is region free.

For example at the moment I have four games, and all those are "only for sale in USA". I'm going to buy Another Code soon, maybe even today, yeehaw!

I was thinking about choosing Electroplankton as the game with the DS, but decided to take Kirby instead.
Electroplanton is very interesting, but I have a feeling that it ain't much of a game, it's more like a musical gadget.

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 10:38 PM

I'm more into gadgets I can endlessly fiddle with. Eurogamer's preview where they've been endlessly playing things sold me. I also got Dai Gassou! Band Brothers. I've heard that it's incredibly creative to the point where it's basically a game and handheld synthesizer in one. You can create your own music, but you need to PLAY it. Sounds great to me... I love the idea of being creative and playing a game at the same time.

Got a lot of things lined up for ebay. I'll do it this weekend.

I want your stuff! Make sure you link us.

squarejawhero · 08-19-2005, 01:16 AM

Heheh, OK. It's all region 2 DVD's though. I may put up my boxed copy of Last Express up, Tribes Vengeance, GTA:SA and SC:CT too. If it's one of you guys, forgo the UK rule and let me know it's you on contact and I'll arrange international delivery (although you might have to pay, not much I guess though).

Oooh what dvds?

squarejawhero · 08-19-2005, 01:42 AM

Nothing amazing. One art film I bought by mistake.

I'll let you know when I've sifted through.

Labrador edition is so mine after watching the video's. I can't understand why anyone would want to crap on either handheld, the PSP is absurdly powerful and great to look at, the DS is innovative and has some of the best games on the market!

I'm well into quick, pick-up and play games like these. They're not "arcade" in the sense of irritating the crap outta me, they're games you can get engrossed in because of their charm.

BTW I got the Red DS. To go with my red Creative Zen Micro.

Kolzig · 08-19-2005, 02:42 AM

The red DS was my second choice right after the black one.
I had a big fight with myself over which DS I should choose.

squarejawhero · 08-19-2005, 02:55 AM

Never in question for me.

SakSquash · 08-19-2005, 06:15 AM

Uh oh, did I forget to tell you that in about a month or two, the DS is dropping $20 in price? I did? Whoops.

squarejawhero · 08-19-2005, 06:26 AM

Doesn't matter as I got a jap DS special edition anyhow and live in the UK.

Damn you for ruining my evil plans!

squarejawhero · 08-19-2005, 06:28 AM

HAHA, FOOLIO!

Stoofa · 08-19-2005, 07:55 AM

I had to dwell over whether to get pink or turquoise. I settled on turquoise in the end because I get enough teasing for being girly as it is. I think if I was caught playing cutesy Nintendogs on a PINK DS I'd be roasted alive.
