Nintendo DS
Platform »
The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.
What DS did you just buy & why?
I just ordered 3 DS games on import:
Compatible with Nintendo DS ÀϺ» , No Region Protection
Compatible with Nintendo DS ¹Ì±¹, No Region Protection
Compatible with Nintendo DS ÀϺ» , No Region Protection
I ordered it because it is an RPG, it sounds very good and it was cheap. Yes, it is in Japanese and no, I can't read Japanese. However, I have found a full translation to work off and if I get a flashcard, there is also a patch which translates the game text within the game (that is cool).
Also a cheap import and in Japanese. This is a Square-Enix RPG, so it should be good. Unlike Soma Bringer though, there appears to be no translation around, so I may struggle with it.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was close to being my favourite game on the GBA. I played near 1000 hours on it. I am going to love this and I believe it will consume me. It was hard to resist getting it earlier, but at this reduced price, I wasn't going to miss it. TBS games like this are amongst my favourite type of games. Plus, the characters in Final Fantasy are just adoreable.
They are jetting their way across the sea and I should get them in about a week.

Heh, i saw these mini DS being sold in gachapon machines in Japan. they also had mini pokemon cartriges. why you'd want that..."Simple premise. Tell us about the game you just bought and why you decided on it. Was it price, reviews, word-of-mouth or the franchise that hooked you in? We can use it as a knowledge sharing experience, as I am sure there will be questions I am likely to ask people about their decision. "
I honestly haven't bought a new game for my DS since GTA, and i havent popped it in yet. I bought Chinatown Wars to support a "mature" game on the DS, plus the amazing reviews it got.

It will be interesting to see how our views differ on Soma Bringer, plus MB ordered it as well." Soma Bringer
Because action RPGs are my favorite genre and it was on sale at Play-Asia.
Touch DetectiveBecause I loved the second game and it was on sale at Play-Asia.Ummm... yeah, that's about all there is to say about those. "
I can't believe I missed the word "Game" in the thread title. Aaaarghhh, we so need to be able to edit our own thread titles - how hard can that be to make possible?
Generally a big fan of mushrooms, and liked the one on the Wii, I have yet to play it

Those 'special' mushrooms we hear about." Mushroom men :Generally a big fan of mushrooms, and liked the one on the Wii, I have yet to play it"
I am figuring you may need one of those 'special' mushrooms to play that game. It averaged 46/100 on Metacritic and the best at 60 described it as a "decent platformer". That doesn't mean of course that it will suck completely, but it isn't much of a challenge for Mario. Sorry for the downer of a post :-(
Henry hatsworth and the puzzling adventure, mainly word of mouth from podcast and friends.
also totally worth buying, favorite ds game in a long time.

The DS board has been hard to find. We hope to have that rectified in a couple of weeks and it should be easier to locate after that - hopefully. In the meantime - just add the DS board to your favourites. We try to keep up to date with what is happening and share information." Sorry for not noticing that lol, thanks for the heads up "

I'm sticking to my ............ " The last game I bought was Pokemon: Platinum. I've been sticking to my 360 lately. "
I don't think I will finish that sentence ..........

No-one ever needs to justify buying a Pokemon game. That was the game before my posted games here, that was my last purchase. Gotta buy 'em all ;-)" pokemon platinum... its pokemon... i dont really need to justify that do i? "
