Bigfoot Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I was so close to buying that Boktai series. Was it any good? Did I miss out on 2 good games? :[ Quote
UnforgivingEdges Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I was so close to buying that Boktai series. Was it any good? Did I miss out on 2 good games? :[ Yes and yes. Great action-adventure RPGs from the man who brought the world Metal Gear Solid. Quote
The-Red-Demon-Zero Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Also coming in 3 or so months is Mega man ZX (I get my info in NINTEDO Power Magazine.) Quote
atmuh Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Also coming in 3 or so months is Mega man ZX(I get my info in NINTEDO Power Magazine.) Why Nintendo Power? Their news is almost always old. Quote

Well, it sucks because by the time I get my magazine, I already know everything inside it lol. I look at it this way. I'm getting a free magazine subscription with my t-shirt. Quote
Vyse the Three Eyes Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Okay, for those of you who have the lite (including Bigfoot), I plan on getting one, but it's a matter of how it turned out that decides how soon I get it. 1: Is the stylus really better? 2: The buttons, in comparison, how are they? 3: Do the shoulder buttons feel as awkward? And lastly, what's the concensus on rate of dead pixels? I don't want to adopt too early and get a messeed up screen contrasting my sexy handheld. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 ^ As for dead pixels, ask the store clerk directly if they will exchange units if the item you've bought has dead pixels in them. Some stores ask for an insurance fee, while others don't. I had to do that twice for the old GBA and GBA:SP. Quote

And lastly, what's the concensus on rate of dead pixels? I don't want to adopt too early and get a messeed up screen contrasting my sexy handheld. 1: Yes, I have big hands so the stylus feels more comfortable. 2: The buttons feel more "loose" and "free" compared to the regular DS. I think I like the old buttons better, but they work for me. 3: I like the Lite's shoulder buttons more. One question I do have though: Are the speakers on the Lite not as loud as the regular DS? Screen is so hot. Level 3 brightness: Quote

Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 One question I do have though: Are the speakers on the Lite not as loud as the regular DS? bump Quote
KakTheInfected Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 They're quieter than the original DS, which is a pretty big downer if you ask me. Quote
CE Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Man, I'm loving the DS right now. The regular one, although, I might get a brand new lite if mine breaks (I doubt it). I mean, I'm playing it more then anything else right now. Not only does the actual DS have awesome games, both right now and coming soon, but it has the added bonus of playing GBA games, which I love. It's awesome being able to stop playing Dawn of Sorrow and switch to Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Am I the only one playing the DS more then all the other stuff right now? Quote
The Damned Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 Headphones will fix that right up. Any one care to speculate as to when North America will see more colors? That's one of the two reasons I'm holding out on getting a Lite (the other being that I only bought mine a year ago). Quote

I've haven't been playing my DS a whole lot lately since there haven't been a whole lot of new games coming out. I've been playing my GCN the most actually, (improving my skill on SSBM, and doing a playthrough of OoT: Master Quest), but I will start playing my DS more once I get a Lite and Star Fox on July 31'st.

I can hardly put down my DS anymore. Best purchase I've made in a looooooong time. Quote

No, I'm also playing it a lot. I have seven game right now. For comparison: N64: 5 games Gamecube: 5 games GBA: 13 games GBC: 14 games I think I like my portabels more than the consoles... Quote

Well, I'll still be playing more when I get a Lite. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I can agree that the DS is my favorite system right now. I think I may have to actually beat the Single Player in MPH now haha. *goes to play* Quote
The Damned Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 What the fuck? Why do I have two messages when I only posted one? If a mod could clear that first one, that would be great, thank you. Quote
CleverConveyence Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I've played Animal Crossing: Wild World at least once a day, everyday since its release. I was thinking about getting a DS Lite, but until I can secure a job this summer (shouldn't be too hard, I have 2 letters of recommendation, 1 from a job counselor, 1 from my boss at the job I worked at before I moved), I've saving my money for Wii. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Also, the DS Lite's touch screen seems more sensitive than the old DS which is pretty cool. I dunno if it's me or not but the whole bottom screen's material looks different in a better way. Quote

You've done better than me. I played yesterday for the first time in a long time... it was horrible. Quote

If you get that PHP error, your post still went through. I have seven games right now. Seven huh? Heh, I have seventeen. Quote
