So I added a DSlite to my growing list of gaming devices
Skribble | 1:13 AM on 08.15.2008 21 comments


With EBgames throwing out DS lites for $145 and me having had 5 PS3 games I no longer even looked at, I decided to put them to good use and trade them in. They gave me over $100 back, so I added $45 and bam, DS for me.

Also picked up Pokemanz Diamond off my friend for $20 and also Phoenix Wright.

OBJECTION!



Sorry about the lame photo. It was late at night, my lightbulb blew and I had no sources of light in my room other than my little laptop screen.

I made up a list of all the DS games I'd like below (not in any kind of order):

Mario Kart DS
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, The
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
New Super Mario Bros.
The World Ends With You
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Super Mario 64 DS
Pokemon Pearl
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Contra 4
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Yoshi's Island DS
Diddy Kong Racing DS
Worms: Open Warfare 2
Dementium The Ward
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant wings
Sonic Rush Adventure
Nanostray
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Let me know if I should add any games to that list. I'm also getting my hands on a CycloDS on Monday, so please do let me know of any awesome DS homebrew I should get. Also also, BC:R is out now! So I'm going to see about downloading it from the JP/US PSN seeing as Australia is a fucking douche.

Man I wish work was over.

Zelda, Castlevania, SMB, TWEWT, Proffesor Layton, Phoenix Wright series, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 are all you need.

SKIP Mario 64 DS, it's awful. And wait for the "new" Pokemon game focusing on Giratina.

Also, Dementium was SERIOUSLY underrated, I think you'll like it.

I know it seems a lil' overzealous, but you shouldn't miss out on those. :)

Sweet, I got a DS lite like a week ago, I'm also not getting a not CycloDS once it gets here.
I got FFIV, and if you liked the original, this one's worth getting. And if you haven't played the original, you're missing out if you don't play it.
I'm enjoying Phantom Hourglass, though 100% touch screen controls can get kinda annoying. And FFTA2 is awesome if you like strategy RPG's, though don't expect a great story.

P.S. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is amazing. $10 is such a great deal too.

No, I just really love slideshows.

Well Doom 3 is only on their cos I havent been bothered to take it off. It ran at like 15 fps. Everything else pretty much runs at 30 fps+

I loved Mario 64 DS.... plays exactly the same as the 64 one, with some nice bonuses.

CycloDS > R4, wise choice Skribble.

Since the CycloDS has full compatibility with download play games I'd suggest getting Mario Party DS.

Also:
Metroid Prime Pinball
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Picross
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Chibi-Robo Park Patrol
Starfox Command
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
