[cartoonfox]

:nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo: :nintendo:

Umm, I would post my DS game info, but I don't go online much. Maybe if I see a few Mario Kart or Animal Crossing people here i'll post and play online.


peace

[cartoonfox]

Oh and where the HELL is my Wii icon?!

*Stares at Davi*

[davi]

i couldnt find a good one, isnt mario recognizable enough for nintendo

[cartoonfox]

No we need a Wii icon too. If i make one will you put it on the forums? (like with the :7up: icon)

peace

[davi]

i think prometheus is making a few atm, if he doesnt then sure. but wait on it for a few days.

[cartoonfox]

Ok I'll just ask him to make a Wii one for me : ]

[davi]

well he made the we remote,im not sure if it stands out as nintendo though

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Mario icon looked nice though. Maybe I should just do the consoles, it's hard to represent sony/ms/ninty with one thing each.

I just bought the New Super Mario Bros game for the DS.


Pure joy.

I actually started yelling out loud one level was so much fun.

[Advocate of Fate]

just got the DS Lite, that thing fookin rocks. I gotta start getting into this system, its way cooler than I thought.

[davi]

i just unlocked world 4 and 7 and wow they are hard >_<

beat 4 though, trying to get a the left over stars though... one of the water levels with the massive eels has one star coin i cant even find, probaly have to end up suiciding to find it...

[Advocate of Fate]

well, if anyone else plays Metroid Prime, my friend number is 1718 7102 5579. I try to play often, it'd be fun to get a bunch of us together and tear shit up.

[EKU_11]

I'm up for a match, my friend code is 2792-4454-0970, I add your code advocate of fate looking foward to playing ya.

I bought my first DS, the Lite!!! Now I've gotta start stockin' up on good games for the dang thing. Really like it. Any suggestions? I have the new Mario and I'm thinking of getting Mario Kart or the new Metroid. And what's a friend numba?

[magicgoo]

I just got the DS LITE too!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I've been playing my old GB Advance games on it and they look gorgeous!

[Zebz]

Glad someone can share my joy! Bought the new Metroid... very cool stuff but my hands ache after playin' for a while. lol

[Tin Tin Abin]

I'm loving the New Super Mario game, takes me back to my childhood. :nintendo:

[Olof]

Hey. I just got my charger for DS Lite. Happiness :)
Been playing castlevania alot lately, almost 'done'!

Davi, if you could explain some how it works then maybe we could trade some?
There's alot of souls.. ;)

.cheers

[Zebz]

I've had to leave my DS behind to work on my TDome entry. But it's submitted!! Time to play some freakin DS!

[glynn james]

Is it worth trading in a DS phat for a DS lite? Im considering black to go with my Wii (sadly it looks like that there will be no lime green Wii)

[Zebz]

DEFINATELY. Dude, it's ridiculously brighter. And the overall design is much nicer. My buddy made the trade as soon as he saw my screenz.

[cmr8286]

Hey fellow Nintendo fans...
I thought you guys might be able to appriciate this... its a table of sorts used to store a Gamecube. I made it last semester in a wood elective.

http://cmr8286.deviantart.com/ (there are three pictures labled gamecube reliquary)

[BlueMech]

I wouldn't trade in for a Lite. I like my regular DS. The DS lite seems too small for my alreayd tiny hands. I don't know how everyone else handles it. The birght screens might be cool, but I have no trouble with the regular screens brightness.

cmr, that's pretty sweet. Are you gunna make one for the wii too?

[Zebz]

You obviously haven't held them both up together and looked a them. Then you would realize all the bliss that you're missing. :) The overall design is sleeker and much more appealing. That and the fact that the screens completely blow the old DS out of the water...

[glynn james]

cmr8286: That is really cool, it is smaller than it looks when I realised that they were DVD cases and not books. A Wii version would require an abstract like look tho... wait it could be a Wii stand!!! - remember you got that idea here first ;)

Which colour do you have Zebz? I'm having a hard time choosing.

The white one is the only one available in the states at the moment so.. that one...

[glynn james]

But if you could choose...

[Zebz]

Umm... well... I don't know all the colors available... my GF is partial to waiting for the black one to arrive here. But the DS does show fingerprints a lot, even on the white one. A black one would only magnify the dirtyness. Sort of like when buying a black car. When you have a clean, waxed black paint job on your car it looks sleek as hell and always looks good. But it doesn't take much water, dust or rain to start makin' it look trashy quick. Just my two cents. I'm happy with my white one tho. It can show dirt as well, mind you. Only if you're putting it in dirty places and such... that sounded kinda kinky... lol :P

[glynn james]

whoa, finally - took me ages to log back in to this place.

Anyway I see what you mean, in one way the white appears kinda timeless and semi retro in a G&W style. But the black looks sleek on the outside, but on the inside, on some pics (because I have not seen it for real) it reminds me of the inside of a cheap car.

[Duq]

Just got a DS lite today and animal crossing, so if anyone is up for trading stuff :)

[Spacemanchuck]

I wish I had waited afew months to get my DS, I could be playing on a DS lite too, drat!!! How much do you think I would lose in a trade in for the Lite?

[glynn james]

If you are a UK'er you will get a DSlite for &#163;60 if you trade a DSphat. Thats at GAME. (so you get &#163;40 off)

[Prometheus|ANJ]

I have a DSlite and LostMagic. Managed to get online with it and got owned in multiplay. No clue how to get my friend code thing. I'm lvl7. Quite hard game.

[cartoonfox]

Prom, congrats on the DS Lite : ]
You get your friend code by going into said game and looking for the option. Not sure where it is because I don't have Lost Magic (is it good?) but it should be somewhere under either options or WiFi.

You thinking of getting any other games soon? Would love to play you online in something.

Peace

[HugeHarHar]

Sort of random, but I figured this is the place to say such things as...

I've been playing the New Mario Bros game still. I don't know even after I beat the entire game, and got all the stars I'm still playing.

What I'm doing now is playing each level and seeing how fast I can run through it. I was just wondering if anyone wanted to be really goofy and compare times on levels and such.

Example being-----World 1 Level 3. I can beat it in 30 seconds flat.

Any challengers?

[0shade0]

damn I'm a sissy :p
I don't own a ds
only a gamecube and the GB (original, color, advance)
nintendo FTW!
deffenitly going to buy myself the wii!

[le capitan]

methinks nintendo's going to take the floor right out from under the next consoles.

Found this via Penny Arcade: http://media.games.ign.com/articles/693/693580/vid_1657122.html

Tis a 26 min video demo of the Wii, an IGN reviewer plays through Battallion Wars 2, Mario Soccer, Wii sports, Red Steel etc. One camera on the screen, the other on his hands. Looks to be excellent.

[unknown_epiphany]

Starting to get into metroid, its like quake 3 was years ago but 20 times better, I still play mariokart a fair bit though.

List what games you have guys:
Metroid Hunters
Mario Kart
Super Monkey Ball
New Super Mario Mario 64

I cant wait for the wii, i'll be like that kid in the n64 for christmas movie...

[EKU_11]

Just got myself the DS lite black when I first started using I wasn't to happy with it the buttons feel a big to small for my big hands and I really don't like how the GBA cartridge pokes out the bottom. Because I still play Street Fighter 3 on my DS now I can’t pull of the move quite us well with it. But now that I have used it a bit more I really like the new lite design and the bigger styles.

[Divorce]

Hay thar :nintendo: fans.
I'm thinking about cashing in my change to purchase a DS Lite (Used is $119), and then getting Phoenix Wright!
Was wondering if it's worth it, and if there's any other games I should get. I was thinking about Animal Crossing, The New Mario Bros. and the remade mario64.

[Tobin]

new super mario bros is worth buyin the ds new for... such a great game... mario 64 is great too, uness you've played on the 64 recently, its a bit of bummer then... haven't played the other two, but mariokart is a great version with lots of extras.

[Tobin]

this is pretty cool, im typing this whilst sitting on the the toilet with my ds, just got the browser today... its pretty damned good i have to say, im impressed anyway...

[kenneyy88]

does the browser only display images and text?

[Eddie Brock]

We got our DS Lite a while ago and we rather like it. We've got Advance Wars: Dual Strike, New Super Mario Bros., and Star Fox Command. Can you guys recommend anything to us that would be really fun to play? We've been looking into a few games here and there like Metroid Prime: Hunters and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

On a side note, has anyone played Ultimate Spider-Man for the DS? We own it for PS2 and enjoyed our part in the story, but we'd like to know how that one is as well.

i finally bought a DS the other day, but i only have one game (poor student hehe) which is new super mario, the mini games are the best =]

just wondering what peoples recommendations are, as im not looking to buy a load of games as i cant afford to do that. I like RPG's on ps2, and things like sonic i guess even though i suck at it hehe, so if anyone has any recommendations let me know and ill check it out
thanks
:)

Well, I'm at work, and a collegue of mine hasn't basically done anything the whole day because he bought Final Fantasy III (http://www.play.com/Games/DS/4-/3300213/Final_Fantasy_III/Product.html) for his DS last Monday, and so his glued to his DS.
So I guess its a good RPG :D

[lefran]

thanks, i bought it on sunday, should come back tomorrow hopefully =]

i just worked out my wifi connection and so far ive been addicted to 42 classics in one game, if anyone else has this, i challenge you hehe ^__^

[Zebz]

I just got a new DS and I picked up Pokemon Pearl along with the New Super Mario. I am an older dude (25) who has never played Pokemon one day in his life. And I'm freakin' addicted. I actually think I'm going to have to pick up the old GBA games as well so I can catch and import the monsters. lol Do you guys recommend any of them over the others and if so why??

As for friend codes and stuff... I'm pretty early in the game now but I should be further by the end of the week. Here's my info...

I'm not ds internet ready yet, but when i am maybe we can battle ;)

Leaf green/Fire red - first generation pokemon. These are basically upgraded versions of Red and Blue the first pokemon games (which wont fit in your ds slot, dont bother buying yellow either for this matter) Leaf green and fire red will fit in your ds.

and then Ruby, Sapphire or Crystal - second generation pokemon, they have a timer in them so there are time activated events. Certain pokemon can only be caught at a certain time ect.

Which ever colour you choose they are really much of a muchness lol Only thing that differs in them is the kinda pokemon you can get. Be warned though that since you played pearl first some aspects of the older ones may seem annoying - each one has a fairly different interface.

[Zebz]

Thanks for the info. So are all of these games the same with just different Pokemon? That could get boring. lol

[kovah]

Thanks for the info. So are all of these games the same with just different Pokemon? That could get boring. lol

essentially yes, in each there is around 150 pokemon that are unique to that particular game (though you can get older pokemon in the newer games, but not all of them)

They are set in different regions, so the map will change as will the gym leaders and slight differences in the elite four. Team Galactic will be replaced by Team magma or aqua or team rocket.

I've played one of each and never got bored - though have never completed a pokedex and because of the gap between them it was never like bam, bam, bam. So if you get bored with any of them just let them go for a month or so and you will be ready to go again. If i were you, just buy one of them once you have access to the pal park in pearl (which allows you to transfer pokemon from the gba games) and go with leaf green or fire red because its the most different from pearl.

[Zebz]

Awesome. Thanks for the help. I'll definitely look into that. Again, let me know when you get WiFi up and we can do some trades... tho I don't know that I'll have anything you'd like just yet. I'm only 13.5 hours in thus far.

Can you make Pokemon trades via WiFi that are from the GBA games once you've imported them in? My friend said something to me about only being able to import 6 a day to the Diamond or Pearl from the GBA games. I should probably look this up... it'll be a while before I get to those tho.

Hoping to get it up at some point this week, yeah you can only import 6 a day.
Make sure you battle every trainer you see (because in order to get access to the pal park you need a certain amount of pokemon in your pokedex and to have beaten the elite four and got a national dex)

I'm around 35 hours in, just starting to tackle the elite four ^^

[paperX]

Anyone here on CA play the Phoenix Wright games? i just finished the 4th one, seriously kick ass (although i reckon the first 3 are better)

[Zebz]

Kovah - I still need to input your information but I promise, I will! I still have to get the the PalPark. I've been playing some other DS games lately but I'll get back on the Pokemon this week, promise.

PaperX - I just played the first mission of the first Phoenix game and it's pretty neat. I hope it gets more difficult tho. I felt like I was just reading a book and not doing much else. I guess the first mission is training tho.

I imported a copy of Zelda Phantom Hourglass to check out the game mechanics and I can't tell you have excited I am for the US release. This thing is so cool! I hope it's not ridiculously short tho.

I hant got to the pal park yet - but if you have the PAL PACK there can be trading and stuff done lol ;) And also i forgot to mention that there is two other pokemon games - Gold and Silver which came after red blue and yellow.

[Zebz]

Had a quick question for those of you who have played the new Zelda. I don't have a Cube or a Wii and I dont' intend to buy a Wii for some time. The game library isn't large enough for me to care just yet. But I've been waiting and waiting to play the newest Zelda. Today I finally figured I'd just make the dive and buy and used Gamecube and Zelda and then beat it and sell it all back again. I'd need the component cables tho as I have an HDTV. Any thoughts? Is it worth it for all the effort?

[invinciblewombat]

online multiplayer games are creeping closer, i am excited

[Cat]

Has anyone played Metroid Prime 3?? It's not realeased here yet and i'm dying with curiosity :x

if you love zelda, it's SO worth the hassle! Both Wind waker and Twilight Princess are awesome.. if you're not that into zelda than its probably not worth it.. ive played twilight princess (borrowed) but i haven't bought it YET.

[Zebz]

Thanks for the reply. I actually have bought a Wii and I've enjoyed it. Zelda is definitely fun but still looks like ass on my HDTV even with components. Oh well.

As for Metroid. I didn't like it and I own it and I'm selling it. I have a 360 and I just found there to be far better shooters for my tastes there.

[Cat]

yeah metroid is not like other shooters imo, and i've always loved it so im more of a fangirl i guess :bashful:
I'd love to own an xbox and some decent shooters but at that price? not gonna happen anytime soon. :nohope: And as long as nintendo satisfies my gaming needs i'll manage (they have for 20 years so..)

[Zebz]

Yea, If you love the series then I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Wasn't my cup of tea.

I can see how the Wii would satisfy your gaming needs if you weren't a hardcore gamer but I can't see what people are even playing on the Wii. There's nothing good out for it! I only own like 4 games and the only Wii game coming that I'm even remotely excited for this year is Mario Galaxy... especially since Smash Brothers got pushed back.

I love my 360 and it all that much more expensive for what you get. How would you like to be a PS3 owner? Yikes.

[cartoonfox]

Everyone go buy Mario Galaxy now.

No everyone.

[Zebz]

I've got it and I agree... it's amazing.

[Lord Garvals]

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! - is my favorite in NDS platform.
This game is really great. I think there will be not so much pics if i not resived this game.
But is so hard to take japan games in Russia.
So. I act very originally. :D I won Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!-2 in contest where i must to do something with Mario and Wario pictures. My redacted pics was pretty funny - so i won Osu-2 (with 2 place). Yup! :D

[Sway West]

Zoo Tycoon is a MESS, and my Lowland Gorilla keeps escaping. >: (

[ShroudStar]

Currently playing Contra 4 in hopes of beating Stage 4 in normal mode - can get there consistently but as for beating it...not yet. Final Fantasy IV DS is another game that I love - one of the best FF out of them all, IMO. Geometry Wars Galaxies is another one that rocks my socks off, especially since I love SHMUPs. I'm currently stuck on the final case in Apollo Justice (PW series) and am getting creamed in Front Mission.

All in all, let's just say that most of my gaming library schools me hard. I love it, though. =)

You have to buy the Opera Browser. Or you could get a DSi, then it comes with the system.

Also if you have a wireless router your ds can pick that up and it doesn't charge extra or anything. And yep I am another person addicted to pokemon.
