Nintendo DS

[Bahamut]

Meh, I guess its up to the recording labels...

And my very queer yet private side kinda likes Avril Lavigne.


OCR suffers from music elitism. As soon as something seems to target a different crowd, people here roll their eyes.


Take Linkin Park. I would not buy a CD, but still, I don't hate their music. Heck, some I like to hear on the radio because it changes from hearing the same pop songs over and over. However saying that would brand me as an emo goth wannabe loser.

I won't hate an artist (unless they do some hypocritical or dirtbag things), but I don't have to like them. I wish more people took this viewpoint around here. There're too many OCRers (seems more prevalent in unmod) who will claim to hate an artist for no good reason.

[Bigfoot]

Clovers add to your luck rating no matter where you place them in the house.

Back to EBA bitching...you guys can defend the song list all you want, but when roughly half the songs in the game are garbage to the people that are likely to buy it, there is a reason to be a bit miffed.


Does it have to be in your house? Or can you wear it and still get the luck rating? And what does the luck rating go towards? Fishing, finding fossils, etc?

[KakTheInfected]

Pretty sure it has to be in the house. As far as I've seen, luck only increases the amount of money neighbors give you for certain tasks. There is a Feng Shui FAQ on Gamefaqs so you can probably find out more there.

Ah, cool thanks man.

[Dragonmaster_Alex]

I don't like the Rolling Stones or Bowie either. However, the original Japanese game has some artists I do like some stuff of like Nightwish, Stratovarius, and Epica, so it'd be more towards my preference.

I used to like Nightwish back when i thought it was cool to pretend to be depressed. :lol:

This is the same response i've seen from so many Nirvana fans.

Well I dislike Nirvana. But why don't you go look up the lyrics most of their stuff? Most don't fall into your false stereotyping.

[Dragonmaster_Alex]

maybe...but i recall a particular line.. "i wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime". :lol:

I get a cringe and a snicker each time.



I may end up giving them a second look, though.

[Bahamut]

Well, if anything, their instrumental Moondance is to be loved (one of my friends hates Nightwish, but loves that particular instrumental - he doesn't like the vocals). Some of the lyrics do have some humor in them - there is one particular song that just makes me laugh when I hear it from their first album, and Tuomas has said that he wished he didn't write that song while drunk. A lot of their Oceanborn-Wishmaster era stuff is fantasy themed though. You may or may not like their more recent stuff since it takes the band in an operatic direction (lyrically as well), so intensity of dramatic situations is depicted strongly.

This is a bit sidetracking though. So when does Phantom Hourglass come out anyone? (And Castlevania)

[UnforgivingEdges]

So when does Phantom Hourglass come out anyone? (And Castlevania)

Q1 2007

Upcoming releases everyone should keep their eye on:

October 17- Contact
October 19- Konductra
October 24- Touch Detective, Magical Starsign
October 31- Children of Mana
November 6- Elite Beat Agents
November 14- Yoshi's Island DS, Final Fantasy 3

Also, Fry's Electronics is having a huge sale this week only (ends on the 17th): Clubhouse Games is only $24.99 and Nintendogs Dalmation Edition is only $23.99.

Toys R Us is having a sale from the 23rd to the 29th in which all games are under a buy 2 get 1 free policy (counts for any system and as far as I understand you can mix and match systems)

And also speaking of Clubhouse Games, is anyone playing it? It's a great timekiller.

[KakTheInfected]

I am playing CG...still looking to build a friend code list but the game seems rather unpopular. And I thought Contact was coming Thursday?

[Penfold]

And I thought Contact was coming Thursday?

That's what I understand as well (Oct 19th). That's what it is, according to Metacritic at least.

[The Author]

Hmmm, Contact feels like a sleeper hit. I'm reading about it on Wikipedia and it looks nifty.


How does it play anyway? Kinda like Secret of Mana but with touch for menues, or is it touch centered?

Here's what IGN had to say about it. (http://ds.ign.com/articles/727/727252p1.html)

Here are the metacritic scores/reviews. (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/contact)

I understand it to be touch-centered gameplay. Seems kinda like the battle system is a little boring, but the rest looks fun. Once I get back into playing my DS, I'm probably gonna get it.

[UnforgivingEdges]

It plays like an MMORPG in that you can see all the enemies on the field and when you go into battle, you only have control over skills and whatnot. Terry attacks automatically, and keeps attacking, until the battle is over. You can interuppt him by using the aforementioned skills and items and whatnot.

The localization is great; lots of humor and whatnot, graphics are interesting: the screens are different. One shows Terry in a more "realistic" looking world while the other shows the professor in all his 16-bit sprite glory. The professor talks to you, the player, and gives you tasks, and then you turn around and guide Terry through his world to achieve those tasks.

EDIT- Also, it's only $28.88 at Outpost.com (http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4865540)

[BlueMage]

Offtopic once again. I think Lunar's pretty awesome, but I'm blown away by Hunters.

No really, I'm exceptionally impressed by it.

No, I don't care if it's old news.

[KakTheInfected]

Hunters rules. Except for the fact that it can't be patched (to fix some bugs and deliver updates), it's pretty much a perfect online DS game. It deserves all the praise it gets.

[Amayirot Akago]

Contact sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. Definitely - ahem - picking it up when it's released ;)

[KakTheInfected]

Okay, Animal Crossing question...when I ask Pelly about the enviroment, she reads a letter that says "Blahblah is clean and all, but something is missing." then says "We need to all work together to make blahblah a great place to live!"

Try planting more flowers and trees. And make sure there's no trash or weeds or anything on the ground.

So am I just bad at LostMagic, or does it really suck as much as I think it does?

Also note that you can never have too many flowers in your town (according to a FAQ I read). That is, if every spot you can walk on in your town has flowers on it, no one will complain about it, so plant new ones every day.

[KakTheInfected]

I planted all of my flowers today and arranged them so there would be 3 in each acre...then the first person who came to my town accidently trampled through 4 of them :x

On a happier note...Custom Robo Rumble is pretty fun. It's odd how the 3D visuals in it are damn good but the 2D are so plain and just terrible looking.

Speaking of ACWW..

Be sure to go online tomorrow and make sure you can receive mail/posts from Nintendo. Tomorrow they're sending out an item dedicated to Clubhouse Games.

I'm sure all you have to do is just open your gates and you can receive it.

People said there is no gift and only an apology letter or something.


I'm still waiting..

[KakTheInfected]

I wonder if it's screwed up since connecting in AC takes so long lately...

I really couldn't care less actually since it's probably bowling pins, a dart board or a chess piece...all things I've passed one when I've seen them at Nook's.

[Bigfoot]

Well, I got the letter/gift. I guess opening your door, then immediately closing it works for some reason.


If anyone wants me to post what it is I will; otherwise i'll let you get it on your own.

[KakTheInfected]

Tried that, then had a friend come over. Still no luck...

[Bigfoot]

Apparently this is what we were supposed to get on the 13th.

[KakTheInfected]

A friend said she got a letter from Nintendo last week that said something about the last day of the acorn festival and some item (escapes me atm) so I doubt that's it. But it would make sense since Clubhouse Games came out last week.

[KakTheInfected]

My cousin just got a watermelon chair meant for last week...what the...

[Hale-Bopp]

I got the watermelon chair in a letter from Nintendo today. The letter says something about tomorrow being the last day of the Acorn Festival. I guess that's the letter that's been getting around. Weird.

[KakTheInfected]

I haven't gotten a damn thing and can't check the game for hours now...looks like I'm screwed out of a crappy chair.

That's it? That special item I was hoping to get in the mail was just a fucking watermelon chair? I still didn't get mine yet, but I still went through a lot of trouble for it. Damn. :/

[KakTheInfected]

Contact is a dull game that somehow keeps my interest. Fighting in it is sort of like playing a Warrior/Rogue in World of Warcraft, where you just auto-attack and are able to use skills every so often.

Well, if you like the aspect of exploration of SoA, DQ8 has it in spades. If you like an enormous overworld with vastly different locales, DQ8 has that as well. And if you like great characters, heart, and different transportation methods, DQ8 will satisfy.

Anything from SoA that I forgot that you might wanna know?

[Bahamut]

SoA had some tedious moments to it though. I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia far more.

[chocobo150]

I don't think I've seen anyone talk about it, but anyone getting Magical Starsign? It looks pretty good.

Its ok, but the gameplay is a bit slow. I would prefer Children of Mana and/or Contact. I played all three for about an hour each and Magical Starsign is the last pick. Not that its bad or anything, but that the other two feels a bit better than it and that the other two has multiplayer.

Well, I just didn't like him. Kratos FTW though. [omg highlight for spoiler] The best part was, though, that my sister and I actually guessed that Kratos was Lloyd's father the moment we saw him. We were just joking around and I figured we were wrong, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were proven right near the end of the game!

I got so bored of Children of Mana so I doubt I'll play the English version. The boss fights were fun, but 90% of the game is button mashing to kill enemies that respawn almost continuously on harder levels.

Got an Advance Wars DS question...is there any reason to use Adder over Koal? Both are similiar, charge their powers at the same rate, but Koal has a firing bonus on roads...

Adder's CO meter is xxXXX, while Koal's is xxxXX. Doesn't look like it means anything, but it basically boils down to Adder getting to his CO Power faster than Koal, as well as being able to double Sidesliping.

Koal's firing bonus on roads is crap. Who's going to leave a unit on the road, when it doesn't give any defense bonuses? It's pretty much saying "HAY GUYS COME KILL ME NOW."

That, and most maps won't have roads in places that it'd actually be practical to fire from.

So...go with Adder. He looks cooler, anyway.

This is usually caused by you missing the cracks. Obviously, if they aren't dug up, new ones don't appear.

My friend was having the same problem until I dug up two fossils hidden behind trees and buildings. Then it worked as per normal. Who knows why I was able to spot them when he wasn't. 8O

Well, like I said, this is happening to pretty much everyone I know who plays. While there's a definetly slight chance, I doubt we're all so blind that we're missing the cracks.

Bah! Children! All of ya! I'm 28, and I play it whenever I have the time. Hell, I'll be 29 by the time it comes out here!

In case any of you are wondering how much transferring from your GBA game to your DS game you will be doing, the game is nice enough to include... get this... 425 of the 445 pokemon. You don't have to transfer for days on end to complete the dex! Most of the pokemon can be captured between Diamond and Pearl, and with online trading and the Global Trading System, you can do it as long as you have wireless access somewhere.

The remaining pokemon (http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/unobtainables.shtml) are the previous starters and older legendaires. Other than those ones, you can catch and trade for everything else.

And for those of you here that want some, I have every starter and all but three of the old legendaires. I'm willing to trade with those that are missing them.

On other matters, I went to three different stores to see if I could find Contact. Of the three, only one had any for sell, and that place only had three copies, all of which were gone. Is the game that popular, that rare, or did a lot of places justnot bother getting it?

Castlevania: PoR online details (http://gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=7096)

Another online facet is the shop mode. Players will be able to offer up items they find in the main game for others to buy. It's interesting to note that when someone buys one of your items, you receive money for it but don't lose the item. Thus, you could potentially just keep a valuable item up there and accumulate a lot of money. Gamespot also notes that the shop mode could prove very helpful in the event that you have trouble with a boss but don't feel like trekking back to a shopkeeper to buy potions.

Awwwwwww yeeeeaaaahhhh.

[Sag Ee Mana]

[...]425 of the 445 pokemon.[...]

O_O

AWESOME.

I was afraid I couldn't find Eevee (the EE from my name xD) in the game, I thought I needed to transfer it from another game for the new evolutions. Ok, I'll get the game.

Otherwise :

So yeah, I think I'm going to buy Contact tomorrow.

[Kenobio]

^I plan on getting it soon too, and I noticed that (thankfully) I haven't had any problem finding it in stores where I live. Also, just preordered Castlevania: PoR a few days ago and the Gamestop people told me there was a slight chance that I might not get the awesome preorder bonus due to limited availability. :(

Merry meet,


If Nintendo could spend the time and money in creating a MMORPG version of Pokemon...

The thought gives my free time a feeling of dread and my heart would pity on the countless lives they would destroy.

But the new Pokemon game does tickle me.

Blessed be

Touch Detective came out today. Going over to pick it up tomorrow morning. Impressions then.

Picked up Touch Detective. The game is pretty awesome. It's like Phoenix Wright with more detective work than court stuff, and its five times funnier. Not far enough to judge the puzzles, but so far so good.

Not I. I love adventure games, but illogical puzzles(LOL BUTTERFLY = SANDMAN!) can turn any adventure game into torture.

Why can't there be any good adventure games for the DS? Or any console for that matter? I want something like Quest for Glory, King's Quest, or Ultima, dammit!*

*Only, y'know, without the sudden deaths, horrible speed bugs, dead ends that require you to restart the game, and absurd triggers.

[UnforgivingEdges]

Frankly, their 3.0 for God Hand has completed their move into my view that their website is an utter joke. IGN review scores mean nothing to me anymore. God Hand is awesome. And Touch Detective is, too.

[KakTheInfected]

Phoenix Wright 2 is out in Japan and from what I've read, has a full English translation. Woohoo...

[vega12]

Snap... I might just pick me up a copy while here then! Do you think I should play the first one before the second one? As in, do you think there is any continuity between the two?

[KakTheInfected]

I'm not sure what cases are included in 2 yet (haven't been able to "import"), but if you can play the first one first, then I don't see why you wouldn't.

[vega12]

Well, I ask because I can't play the first one... at least not until I find an English copy when I return to Canada...

But I'll probably end up getting it and beating it before 1 anyway :P

[KWarp]

And the best new DS game is... wha? (http://ds.ign.com/articles/741/741784p1.html)

Fuck. Seriously, Tony Hawk games are fun but the amount of changes is hardly ever enough. This one, surely, is a great deal of fun...but how could it beat the Wii version?

[chocobo150]

I'm not sure what cases are included in 2 yet (haven't been able to "import"), but if you can play the first one first, then I don't see why you wouldn't.

From the size of the game, it doesn't look like that there will be any specific DS cases like the first one.

You're right, it doesn't. I'm still enjoying it, but that's disappointing. I liked the new case in PW1 even if it did seem a bit out of place.

Gee, that's why we shouldn't trust IGN. :)

Mind, as long as I'm here, did anyone find their review for Crash Boom Bang (http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=735637) to be a little harsh? I mean, I am fully aware that it's going to be a heavily awkward game to go through, but everyone else seems to be giving it mainly 4s according to GameRankings. Surely, the people at IGN are denying the thought that it can't be worse than Bomberman: Act Zero. :lol:

[UnforgivingEdges]

Again, IGN is a joke. I find Gamespot to be a far better barometer of game quality, as they usually are far tougher with their reviews, and games they give a 7 are usually very good.

[KakTheInfected]

Yes, it can't be possible that a Tony Hawk game got a good rating because Tony Hawk games are notorious for being un-fun.

Do I even need to tag this with /sarcasm?

[DJ Tempora]

And the best new DS game is... wha? (http://ds.ign.com/articles/741/741784p1.html)

Then you obviously never played much of the first one. The Tony Hawk DS games control great and have beautiful graphics (and run at 60fps). There's massive customization options for graffiti and skateboards, all of which can be uploaded online and downloaded from other users. What's more, entire 2:00 skate run videos can be downloaded from other players and watched on your DS. And once you get tired of the main game, you can go online and play a variety of multiplayer games, or download the new challenges that come out every week.

THDJ does one better, with full customization options for appearance and clothes and voice chat in-game. As in, not just in between sessions like Metroid Prime: Hunters, but actually during the session.





Anyone want to add friends in Contact? I like getting free stuff.
Sure, only I don't think I've unlocked it yet. How far do you have to get?

[UnforgivingEdges]

Yes, it can't be possible that a Tony Hawk game got a good rating because Tony Hawk games are notorious for being un-fun.

I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to Rexy's post about the new Crash game.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam: 2706-6519-8097

This game rocks. \m/

I especially enjoy downloading other people's runs and watching the replays. There's so much to do online, it's crazy. This game is oozing with gameplay options.

[Rexy]

Well, yeah, I should have figured there would be some people who would take interest. :oops: Anyway...
I mean, sure, I can see the argument for seeing how the Tony Hawk's engine was used on the DS and created into an extensive title, but the fact remains that it's something that we've seen before on prior consoles, and we also figure that the context of skateboarding can only seem to appeal to a limited set of gamer types. That's what seems to worry me most; not how much it pushes itself to have fun or whatever. To most gamer types, it could just look like something created solely for the MTV generation.

[Hale-Bopp]

What the heck are you blabbering on about?

[KakTheInfected]

First of all, it's vastly different from every previous Tony Hawk game. Second, it's good. Stop coming up with reasons to doubt it.

[Rexy]

I know it might be good, but that doesn't stop the fact that I can't play this type of game to save my life. In fact, I can't play sports sims at all unless it's with cars. :?

[Crabsmasher]

I just read about a game called Gunpey (http://ds.gamespy.com/nintendo-ds/connect-the-sounds-gunpey-reverse/739191p1.html) today it sounds pretty cool. It's a remake of a Wonderswan game and it's being done by the guys at Q Entertainment so it's gotta be good. :D It's a pretty old preview, and there have been movies there for even longer. I'm not sure why I never saw it before.

[Bigfoot]

Clubhouse Game's missions are bullshit.

[Bobwillis]

Meh, Gamespot gave God Hand an 8.0 which is a higher rating than Trauma Center and Mega Man ZX received. Both of those two games are superior.

Perhaps Gamespot just is biased against the DS in general.

[Power Surge]

Clubhouse Game's missions are bullshit.
I've been able to complete about half of them so far. The rest is absolute bullshit, especially the Word Balloon mission. How the fuck can anyone guess what the word is when the game doesn't even provide a single clue other than how many letters it has? Hundreds of words fall under that "hint," and the game expects players to get 3 words right without messing up 10 times. That said, anything that relies too much on luck is made of fail and lose.

3 Strikes in a row?
3 Bullseyes in a row? haha yeah ok.

I got 2 Bullseyes in a row on the first TWO throws, and couldn't do it with the other 8 lol.


Did you do the Billiards ones? Those were easy after a few tries.

[KakTheInfected]

I pulled off the 3 Strikes and Bullseye missions. Both become very easy after you play darts and bowling for awhile.

Keep in mind, you're just dragging a stylus, not throwing a dart or a ball. Don't think so much about it.

[AzureZeal]

On to the second case in Touch Detectives. It's holding my interest very well.

[Czar Diego]

I got my girl interested in the DS, so I'm getting her the pink one for Christmas. I'm thinking of getting her Super Princess Peach and Nintendogs, as well as a kirby game. Should I get her Canvas Curse, or Squeak Squad? which one would be better for someone relatively new to gaming?

[KakTheInfected]

On to the second case in Touch Detectives. It's holding my interest very well.

I'm on the third case in Phoenix Wright 2 and haven't even thought about Touch Detective :P

I wonder if it's worth checking out after though. I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews on sites, mostly complaining about completely illogical puzzles.

Just get New Super Mario Bros. :P
EDIT: Did I just say that!? 8O
... uh Canvas Curse yeah!

[UnforgivingEdges]

On to the second case in Touch Detectives. It's holding my interest very well.

I just finished Part 1 of the first case. The game reminds me of the investigation parts of Phoenix Wright (in that you ask questions to the various characters while traveling around town, picking up clues, etc.) and the adventure/puzzle elements of Trace Memory. So far I haven't had much problem with the puzzle logic, and the writing is very very well done (I expected nothing less from Atlus). Some really humorous dialogue, and on top of that, the game is just so damn CUTE.

I can definitely see adventure game fans liking this.

[I-n-j-i-n]

This will be the best game on the DS. No doubt about it:

Also, back to the missions for Clubhouse Games, how do you pop the bottle in 5 seconds?

[KakTheInfected]

Shake it as fast as you can, and try to let go of it at about the 3 second mark.

Fuck. With the Wii coming out, I don't think I can afford FF3, Contact, or any of the other games coming out in November. Fucking Nintendo, making games I want to play for systems I own/want to own.

Meh, Gamespot gave God Hand an 8.0 which is a higher rating than Trauma Center and Mega Man ZX received. Both of those two games are superior.

Perhaps Gamespot just is biased against the DS in general.

Maybe it's because those two DS games are reputed to be incredibly short. And Trauma Center is almost too difficult for its own good later on.

God Hand is a Clover game.. so.

[KakTheInfected]

I didn't think ZX was short, and Trauma Center seemed extremely long to me because I kept messing up...

Finishing that game was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences ever.

This is the reason I haven't bought any single games apart from the Dawn of War + Winter Assault (30€) combo. I've been saving A LOT to get a Wii with everything I want a few DS games, and all the stuff I've missed (like 2 or 3 games) at christmas.

Man, I'm good at planning ahead. Check Bahamut's sig and you'll see I haven't "splurged" :(

I'd recommend Canvas Curse for pure fun. For platformer overload, get her NSMB and Squeak Squad too.

Actually, I recommend figuring out if she's a dog person. If she is, Nintendogs is right there.

[Dragonmaster_Alex]

Kirby: Canvas Curse is overrated. I bought it. Played it. Enjoyed it. It isn't exactly a "must have".

[Rexy]

I'm more concerned about Canvas Curse being pretty easy; that was the only downpoint when deciding on my second game for the system from last Easter (which ended up being Animal Crossing: Wild World).

Also, may I need to stress that if anyone needs a good platformer fetish, Sonic Rush is a high recommendation; makes good balance of the DS features (except it doesn't use the microphone :() and has good challenge to boot, especially when it comes to getting A rankings on every level.

I know that it can actually get a little OTT for your "girl" in question, but you may never know what she could consider :)

[Bahamut]

Aren't Kirby games supposed to be easy in general?

[UnforgivingEdges]

I'm more concerned about Canvas Curse being pretty easy;

I found it to be the opposite (at least collecting all the hidden medals). The regular game is cake, but it wasn't that fun.

Saying they're superior means absolutely nothing. Superior at what? These are all games from totally different genres, you can't compare them like that.

That said, I saw Worms Open Warfare at EB for $20, I should go back and see if it's still there.

I've gotten this message before, but I've been able to access my catalog later on. After several days (without jumping forward in time, mind you), he keeps giving me the same message.

[KakTheInfected]

I'm assuming you've tried restarting but if not, that would probably fix it.

Otherwise...ouch, this sounds bad.

[Power Surge]

Still no luck. In a worst case scenario, I may have to delete everything and start over. If I wanna keep my stuff, I may have to get a 2nd copy of the game and transfer my stuff over to the new town. But then there's the chance that whatever bug is causing Nook to deny me access to my catalog might get transferred over as well. If that happens, I'm royally fucked.

EDIT: Maybe if someone visits, leaves and then I close my gate, that might fix the problem. I have my gates open right now; anyone wanna try?

Also, I finally got that letter from Nintendo that comes with a watermelon chair. You have to go to your phone and allow it to download letters and bulletins.

The rumor is that the translator is a Goon. And some Square-Enix nut jobs argued that their game is too hallow ground for a harmless reference. The flamewars that ensued was just ridiculous.

That's an actual expression. The website wasn't the first place those words were put together.

[KakTheInfected]

I think the reference is the fact that "goons" and "something awful" are used in the same sentence.

Unless of course, you mean "goons wrecked them up something awful", which would be a really strange coincidence.

[I-n-j-i-n]

That's an actual expression. The website wasn't the first place those words were put together.

I don't buy that explanation. The words "hit the weak point for massive damage!" is an actual term too. But give me a break. You know that is a reference. Mainly because those sentences are just grammatically odd and emphasize those words a bit. And you know what's funny? The way people are SO OFFENDED because it's Something Awful. Big deal. I swear I caught the words "it's sacrilegious" in those flame wars. Because references are serious business.

[Smoke]

If they're offended by SA references, there's several other games they shouldn't play.

Here's a few:

Banhammer and Mace of Slurring in Morrowind.
Player ranking "SA Goon" in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City(Confirmed as a reference by one of the people who worked on the game)
Jeff K picture in Heavy Metal FAKK 2.
Pusher Bots referenced in Aliens versus Predator 2.
Jeff K reference in No One Lives Forever.
Jeff K cyclops in Icewind Dale.
Lowtax tombstone in Icewind Dale 2.
Lowtax, Jeff K and other user names the commentary will audibly call out in Links 2004.
In Quake 3, Crash in bot mode will say "JeffK is my drill master!" from time to time.
Doom 3 has SA's front page visible on a monitor.
Pacific Fighters has "Rich Kyanka and the SA goons" in its Thank You section of the manual, and there's nose art referencing SA available for at least one of the planes.
Sin Episodes: Emergence has a poster which shows a stick figure at the top of a flight of stairs, with the text "Do you have stairs in your house?".

There is also acknowledgment to Lowtax and SA in the Return to Castle Wolfenstein instruction manual and the credits of EA's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Also, Garry's mod was made by a goon, and 9.0 uses the :V: smiley as an icon on the Steam game list.

I found a few pages on Nintendonium, but not a Wiki page. I demand that someone make one.

I would, but for some reason, they axed my account. i don't know why, I hardly eer used it, and when I did it was to fix minor things like little typos.

Star Fox is good for multiplayer and online. The single player sucks, yes, but if you can play multiplayer it's certainly worth a purchase.

And Contact is both incredibly good and incredibly boring. It's one of the games where, when you die, you don't feel like playing again for about an hour but you never truly feel like just quitting.

Edit: Found another goofy reference in Contact. "I wish a base like this belonged to us."

That's your preference then, but the overwhelming majority of people (even people who post here) seem to love the online play.

And ok, I guess what people said were right. I just saw the MGS reference tonight about "snake". I guess the All Your Base Are Belong To Us isn't far from that.

[KakTheInfected]

Oh wow, I didn't even get the Snake reference until you just mentioned it.

[Dhsu]

Anyone who's bashing Starfox Command can stuff it. No, it's not like Starfox or Starfox 64, nor is it trying to be. It's just a good game on its own, with intuitive and responsive controls (the turning is just as fast as SF64's, and I just drew circles for barrel rolls and never had any problems), and has a creative hybrid of shooter and turn-based strategy elements. The missions are addicting, and the campaigns are short enough on average to finish each in one sitting.

I had to send the game back because it was a rental, but I seriously considered buying it for the WiFi. If you're not hardcore intent on getting a traditional Starfox experience, I highly recommend the game.

I honestly didn't really care about traditional Star Fox gameplay, I just really hated the game for what it was. I'm only one person, though.

[Dhsu]

Another thing I forgot to mention was that I was impressed by the dialog and relatively mature plots and endings. The remixed music was a fun side-benefit as well.

[KakTheInfected]

Eh, can't say I cared much for the music...I miss the SNES Star Fox stuff :(

Although I'd be lying if I said the Star Wolf theme didn't rule.

So, is anyone getting Custom Robo Arena in December? I cannot stress enough just how good this game is, which sucks even worse because I'm terrible with descriptions. It's easily the best online game on the DS right now, even better than Hunters.

In the RPG portion, you go around and fight other people from rival schools and whatnot (blah blah blah typical Japanese stuff) and collect parts for your robo as you advance the storyline. Once you buy the parts in the RPG portion, you can use them online.

The weapons are nicely balanced and each serve a purpose. Guns can be fired while sliding so you can attack while still avoiding fire, missiles can be lobbed over walls, pod weapons will chase your enemy (think snarks from Half-Life) and you can boost yourself at the enemy if they get too close and cause a lot of damage.

I know I'm babbling and a lot of people probably already know all of this from the GameCube game but...wow, online is so damn fun.

And the game is beautiful, too. One stage has you fighting on top of a stealth fighter with boxes on top of it. The boxes slide everywhere as the fighter tilts and the shadow work is pretty damn amazing for a DS game.

[KWarp]

Oh yeah, a few days ago I got to play Wii and Elite Beat Agents happened to be tucked away there too. The DS games's everything I hoped it would be. Absolutely hilarious. :lol:

I've played Custom Robo for GCN a few times. I didn't like it; the controls were slow to respond, mainly because I couldn't fire and run at the same time, and the arenas were too small. The ability to run while firing your gun in the DS one should fix the first problem to some extent, but how big are the arenas? Overall, if the game will be as big an improvement as Mario Kart DS was over Double Dash, then I'll keep an eye on it. And if the game isn't out yet, I'm assuming you played it at the Fusion Tour or something?

Also, about Nook not letting me view my catalog even when no one's visiting. That happens whenever I move backwards in time and save the game. To fix it, all I have to do is visit someone else's town and come back to mine.

[supremespleen]

So Contact is boring and Starfox is loved/hated?

Get Contact, or rent both?

So, let's go back to OLD games for a second. I saw a copy of Trace Memory and read the back of it, and it seems like the story is pretty interesting. Is it worth a pick up? Also are there any other oldies out there that would warrant a search for?

From what I've heard it is, I've just been waiting for it to hit the $20 price range to pick it up - that and my DS is getting repaired so I can't play any games right now even if I wanted to. :cry:

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a classic-feeling point and click adventure game from the 3rd person. Only knock on it is that it's on the short side (less than 10 hours), but the plot is good. If you end up liking it, check out Touch Detective, too. They're very similar.

The controls seem fine to me. The only weapon I've noticed you have to stop to fire are missiles (and that's pretty much because they have to be aimed). Some guns make you stop too, but instead of firing a burst, they fire one shot at a time and can fire faster depending on how fast you mash the button. There is almost zero lag too.

I'm playing the Japanese version, by the way.

[The Damned]

Of course, it will be much more effeicient than the US version.

Didn't the sale end yesterday? My TRU's here told me the sale ran through to Oct. 28, which is why I took advantage of it when I could. I picked up Downhill Jam, Nanostray and Magical Starsign. I might just sell the last one on ebay or even return it.

Yeah, sale is over. :[

Anyway, you shake the bottle very rapidly for 2 - 3 seconds and then let go. It should pop about a second later.

[KakTheInfected]

I just did it 3 times. Shake it as rapidly as you can and let go at the 3 second mark. It should pop between 4-4.5 seconds if you shook quickly enough.

Oh ok, didn't shake it that furiously. That was easy.

So I have an Animal Crossing question: is it possible to cheat the game by changing the date & time on your DS?

Yup. Neighbors would move out and you'd miss events just as if time actually passed, but you can get money quicker and easier that way.

I've never done it though. I'm not a filthy, horrible cheater.

Possible 4chan /b/ reference in Phoenix Wright 2. And they thought Something Awful references were hideous. But I like it.

[KakTheInfected]

I assumed it was just a Fresh Prince reference. He goes on to recite more of the song as he gets whipped while trying to tell more jokes.

[I-n-j-i-n]

Yeah, it could be. Or it could be because of the reference that has caught like wildfire in /b/ recently. Sorta like the Walker Texas Ranger fad that was actually from the Conan O'Brien show until it became popularized in the internet and YTMND.

It would've been nice if the game didn't give out prizes for saving shitloads of money that would literally take years to get without cheating, even if you played every single day. You know there's people out there (like me lol) crazy enough to do what it takes to get those items. If that were the case, I would've stopped cheating once I got 10 million bells in my account, but I'm over 250 million so far; I gotta have that Town Hall model.

As a reminder to other time travelers, remember that Nook stops giving you access to your catalog if you move back in time and save. The only way that I know of to fix it is to visit another player's town and then go back without getting disconnected.

Reading the manual is one of the first things I do when I get a new game. Not because I need to know how to play the game, but because it's part of the experience of a new game. Flip through it, look at the screenshots, the artwork... and the smell of the ink on the shiny paper. Mmmmmm... nasal stimulation...

[Kitsuta]

Why can't you just do the stalk market? :?

If you have a few friends and a few hundred thousand bells, you can buy all the turnips you can hold and sell them when they are above what you bought. That would be a lot of profit, wouldn't it?

Aw, lose.

The stalk market is better. I keep forgetting to buy the stupid turnips though. :(
