Topic: What do you recommend for the DS?

[corneliab]

I'm sorta like Jorge, buying a good number of games that take me a long time to get around to playing. My main reason for this is that a lot of games go out of print quickly, and most of the games I buy are usually around $25-30, so I figure I'd rather buy them now and not play them till later on than to pay more for used copies when I'm finally ready to play.

Anyway, I suggest Hotel Dusk, Elite Beat Agents, Sonic Rush, Contra 4, and Mega Man ZX. And to the dude who said NSMB is poor and derivative, eat my balls. Sonic Rush Adventure is such a shitty piece of fuck compared to NSMB and the first Rush.

Hrm, you're certainly the vulgar sort. Truth be told though, it only makes you seem like a fool on the internet.

Sonic Rush Adventure was an improvement on the original in many ways. Superior level design, the inclusion of online play, the ability to choose from either Blaze or Sonic to play as on the fly, the challenge of mission mode, and superior bosses simply make the game seem like a general improvement in my eyes. Also, they got rid of the "kill all the enemies in this room to proceed" sections, thank god.

Additonally, you seem to blowing Naganuma's absense way out of proportion, as the soundtrack was still very good. Pirate's Island, that Ghost Ship level, Coral Cave, Sky Babylon, and the bosses (standard, final, extra) all had excellent themes, just to name a few off of the top of my head.

Also, for the person who complained about the submarine, I really have no clue what you're talking about. The whole sequence was based on matching your attacks with the beat of the music. Unless you have trouble recognizing this, there's no problem with it.

I understand that, but it doesn't make it any less retarded than it already is. 

Anyways, get ZX, but not advent.  Most of the bosses in advent are pushovers and there's no challenge except in the last half of the final area.

Don't try to pretend like you're better than me. I'd rather look like a fool than be someone who comes off as arrogant and belittling.

But I digress. I don't want Jorge to have to spank me. o:

They are mainly rpgs and they take a long time to finish and with work, school, weight lifting, music...it takes me a loooong time. I just bought some old ps1 games before they get even more expensive.

Were the hell did my post go? All there is left is a bloody quote!

I was just sayin' I don't really want a RPG game. Much too boring for my tastes. I had enough of them already. Racing games too, no racing games.

I was also sayin' I have both ZX and ZXA, yet some are still trying to recommend it.

Tell me more about contra 4 without spoiling it. The game sounds interesting . . .

[The Last Belmont]

Tell me more about Contra 4

It's well contra with 2 screens, your classic big guns and shooting the shit out of aliens.

[Beacons]

I know you said you were tired if RPGs but get The World Ends With You.

Also starfox command, contra 4, puzzle quest, clubhouse games, tetris DS, or either advance wars game

[crisis]

Don't listen to Beacons, he misleads.

I'm with Beac: Puzzle Quest is exceelent. Not really an RPG, it's like a puzzle game first with RPG aspects. It's freaking awesome.

Rune Factory, the new branch of the Harvest Moon series, but now they've added RPG elements lie fighting monsters to capture and train to work on your farm.

Nanostray 1 is beautiful, bt it has some interface probs.

For some awesome visual brain puzzles, Picross DS is a win. You use the clues by the given numbers to try to discover the hidden picture.

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The spiritual successor to Wind Waker, and it makes very clever use of the stylus, but yeah it takes some getting used to to control it. I like it even better than Wind Waker, personally.

BTW I just found out I OWN Sonic Rush! I forgot all about it. I heard it's good though; so I gotta get back to that one.

So yeah, I too have trouble keeping up these days on all the games I buy. Sometims I even forget I have them. It's not that I don't appreciate them; it's that I have trouble finding the time for all of them, as has been stated by several here.

Hey guys, I dicided. I'm going to get that final fantasy IV game.

A more updated version of FFIII with better charaters, story, and voice acting? Seems good to me.

I got over not wanting another RPG already. It was a one or two year thing though. Yeah.

[Abodos]

The World Ends With You is pretty good. It's got real-time combat, not turn-based as with other RPGs.

Contra 4, as most everyone has said, is also really good. Without spoiling anything, pay special attention to Level 4 and the boss of Level 7. Those are quite possibly two of the coolest moments in 2D video game history.

[LoneChild]

You guys have forgot about Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.

[The Last Belmont]

Hey guys, I dicided. I'm going to get that final fantasy IV game.

Actually its the updated 3d version of the Snes FFII american game but made more difficult. Tons of fun and a def. must buy.

There are also lots of side-programs/software for the DS, like the Kanji writing stuff (100% useful for import players) and that KORG thing, which will emulate an advanced keyboard, wow.

Dementium, New Super Mario Bros, Contra 4, Yoshis Island 2, Ultimate Mortal Kombat
