Lord Exor Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 The music in Yoshi's Island DS is very disappointing. Not nearly as iconic or catchy as the original. Quote
Fire in the Hole Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I love FFIII. First thing I notice from the beautiful opening and in-game appearance is that the graphic quality definitely reminds me of the PSX era of FF. Second thing, the music is definitely great. I wish for better output quality, but as is it sounds wonderful. Also, for some reason I just love using the touch screen. If I don't have the ability to focus on tapping where I mean to it's a bit annoying and I resort to the buttons, but otherwise the touch screen just seems to make the game even more fun. Also, jobs FTW. Quote
Warmech Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 So is Magical Starsign supposed to be good? Quote
chocobo150 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 So is Magical Starsign supposed to be good? Its ok, but I feel that the battle system is a bit slow. Maybe its because I have been used to Partners in Time. Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Parters in time was such a rip off.... It was good, but it was SOOOOOOOO short Quote
Drack Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Star fox command = Total let down. I'd rather have a SF64 port than this crap. Yoshi's Island DS = Decent gameplay, very close to the original in style with some cool new ideas and features. Very long levels. Terrible music Final Fantasy 3 - Nice and oldschool. Absolutely great music. Enjoyable, but don't forget to save whenever you're on the world map ... death comes swiftly. Children of Mana = I'm trying this next Diddy Kong Racing DS + Castlevania PoR = I have very high expectations for these games... Quote

UnforgivingEdges Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Children of Mana = I'm trying this next It's an enjoyable little dungeon-hack in the vein of say, PSO or Diablo. It's on the easy side, though, and the fun factor goes way down unless you have someone else to play it with. Still, not regretting I bought it. It's got killer music and the signature pastel Mana art direction. Quote

KakTheInfected Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Since I can't play Wii yet...I really have to recommend Bomberman Land Touch. So many great mini-games plus online classic Bomberman ftw. Quote

KWarp Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Since I can't play Wii yet...I really have to recommend Bomberman Land Touch. So many great mini-games plus online classic Bomberman ftw. CLASSIC ONLINE BOMBERMAN!? Picked up EBA and Yoshi's Island. Former is awesome all over, latter is killed by bad music. Quote

Former is awesome all over, latter is killed by bad music. I was rather disappointed in both of them. Quote
The Phalanx Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I'm considering purchasing Mechassault for the DS. I've heard its fun, but the graphics are pretty meh--like early N64-style. Personally I care little about how it looks, but how it plays, and I'd love for a portable mech-style game. Anyone tried it yet? Quote
KakTheInfected Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 The gameplay is okay. Pretty close to the other Mechassault games but with *very* precise aiming. I honestly wouldn't recommend it though...no online and every player in multiplayer needs a copy of the game. Quote

MS doesn't know what to do with the Battletech franchise I tell you, I would have loved it had they made a MechCommander-esque strategy game for the DS instead of that vanilla Mech-Assualt crap. That would be so fracking awesome. Quote
Bigfoot Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Nintendo celebrates 7mil DS sales in Europe, 27mil world wide. $129.99 x 27,000,000 = $3,509,730,000 wow.... lol Quote
KakTheInfected Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Does anyone still play Hunters? I recently got back into it again after getting a comfort stylus and it's as fun as ever...except for the disconnectors. Quote
KWarp Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Warming up to Yoshi's Island DS. Music is mediocre actually. I AM REALLY ANNOYED WITH REPRESSING THE JUMP BUTTON TO DO REPETITIVE FLOATING KICKS IT DOES NOT WORK >:[ Quote
Bahamut Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 So, anyone get that bonus from connecting to Animal Crossing WW to the Nintendo WFC? Quote
Bigfoot Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 So, anyone get that bonus from connecting to Animal Crossing WW to the Nintendo WFC? Yup, just connected and got it. Master Sword. Thanks for the reminder It came out the 17th, but you can still get it apparently. Quote

The Damned Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 Might be an acceptable substitute for a person that wants music and gaming, but can't quite afford that PSP. I think they offer 8 gig SD cards now, so you can fit quite a bit of music on it. Quote
Unstable Hamster Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 So I find that jump shohen Japanese port at best buy... How good is it? and will it work with my DS? I was thinking of either getting that, or Final Fantasy III, can you guys give me any advice on it? Quote
