thinking about buying a Nintendo DS

[TKHawke]

yea no GBA games here so i dont have to worry about that. i have a couple of old Gameboy games, but have a Gameboy SP if i ever needed to go back (which i dont really) im still undecided. it looks like if i wanted to buy one, itd have to b a 3DS, simply because thats where all the new games will be heading.

 

still unsure if i wanna buy one or not, but we will see. my friend is coming over tomorrow, and if i buy one, it will be tomorrow. ill lyk :P

Well 3DS or regular, I could recommend some RPG's (favourite game type) if you like stuff from Natsume. One of my personal favourites was Rune Factory 3 :P

Me personally i couldn't get past the awful stylist. I mean really a pen.

Unless it's drawing, I personally don't use the stylus. I've even played games where you're supposed to use the stylus to move around your menus and stuff on the touch screen but was able to do all that with just the D-pad and buttons so long as the menu paused the game. Most other games I just tap the screen with my finger because I find it can be hard to hold a stylus while pushing buttons and then move my hand away from the buttons just to tap the screen. I only use the stylus if it's being useful and actually adds to the game. Other than that I don't touch my stylus.

I have a white DSi I don't use, I would offer to sell you that but I don't know how that would work out :P Edited July 14, 2011 by Pyrosocial

Then I would really recommend Rune Factory 3 because it's my personal favourite DS game (aside from Ocarina of Time 3DS), but while it does include fighting monsters and choices of magic, swords, shields, spears, axes, hammers, and magic wands it's also about working your farm or mining or fishing to make money and ultimately dating one of 12 girls and then marrying her (tried playing without marrying and it's impossible to beat game unless you marry). As long you don't mind doing some life role-playing and having to manage a farm and love life it's a great game.

not gunna lie, my first game will be Pokemon Heart Gold. i had Gold way back on gameboy color, so yea. gunna get the new version of it and relive some good days from the past!

[hoofhearted4]

[TKHawke]

I'm not sure if it's sad or not that I own almost all versions of pokemon....YAY POKEMON!

 

But more on topic....... Your choice? Colour? *drum roll*

Trust me, it will be worth it later on... N64 games FTW! There's also Luigi's Mansion 2 coming out, which I'm excited for since I thought the first one was fun (GameCube)... Starfox 64 3D, Paper Mario, Super Smash Bros., etc... Pretty much they're remaking N64 games with better graphics (The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a good example, which I'd recommend getting :rolleyes:)

 

A few games I'd avoid buying are Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and Nintendogs... Pilotwings Resort is pretty much flying around, which is boring (to me at least), Steel Diver has low ratings everywhere, so I wouldn't recommend getting it, and Nintendogs is only fun for a few days, then you realize playing with a dog in a hand held is boring. Sure, it can be fun, but only if you're really into it. The cats do nothing but cost money and just sit around (no contests or anything).

 

Anyways, just a few things I thought I'd say. You should also get a case and a cleaning kit, because when the system gets dirty, it gets REALLY dirty due to the reflectivity of it (you can see all the finger prints and stuff).
