Crabsmasher 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.If I remember right Nintendo changed the material to be more scratch resistant. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I totally liked the old DS's D-pad though. It seems to work better than the Lite's. Quote
Klowd Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I totally liked the old DS's D-pad though. It seems to work better than the Lite's. Shit, it's probably gonna make it way harder to snake in Mario Kart... Quote
Crabsmasher Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Bigfoot! Did you trade in your phat DS to get your Lite? Quote
KakTheInfected Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I find it easier to snake in Mario Kart now. Less distance between the left and right button. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Bigfoot! Did you trade in your phat DS to get your Lite? Hells naw, I just bought it seperately. I let my brother use my other DS now. Quote

JoeFu Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 DS lite is super Sexy. It's amazing how a brighter light can make a game look. OMFG LIGHT NUMBER 4!!!! The thing is also more comfortable to hold than the regular DS. The only thing I don't like is the placement of the Start and Select button, but oh well, looks like i have to adjust to that. But all in all, the DS lite is awesome. I can't wait for Starfox, Children of Mana, and FFIII to come out... it's going to be awesome. Quote
ubernym Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 When the DS first came out, I had a strong feeling that there would be a revision, so I waited. Fortunately my suspicions were correct and yesterday I purchased a DS Lite. I love it. I've got New Super Mario Bros., Electroplankton, Brain Age, and Super Mario DS. I'm having a blast. I haven't had this much fun playing handheld since Lumines. Electroplankton is such a work of art, by the way. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I knew it'd happen too, but I'm too impulsive with handheld purchases. I'm not even going to sell the old one since it's too fucking pricey and I'd rather have an insurance system.. Capitalism.. Quote
bouncerboy15 Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Whenever I get (more) money, I'll get a DS Lite. But for now, my original DS will suit me for now. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I checked out my other consoles, and man they are so dusty on top hehe The DS Lite is tiny compared to the regular. It's like a fancy case of Altoids. Quote
The Unsung Plumber Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Bigfoot! Did you trade in your phat DS to get your Lite? Hells naw, I just bought it seperately. I let my brother use my other DS now. Yeah, My brother and I are going to try to do that.(But with all the systems{PS3, Wii}it's going to be hard to do.) And LAOS, we are still waiting for that OCR DS skin . Quote

Soma Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I sold my old DS to a friend of a friend for 40 bucks after i got my lite, i was just gonna trade it in at EB or gamestop anyway, i didn't bother checking a price. But my friend (who's very DS obsessed) is selling his old one for 90 dollars to some poor kid who thinks it's an awesome deal. The worst part of it is he's like "my ds is in mint condition and i'm doing that kid a favor!" cuz apparently used DS's are 105 bucks or so he said. It doesn't burn me as much that he's getting twice what i got, i just don't see how he can do that and claim he's a good friend or whatever when the Lite is like 30 bucks more. Anyways, on topic i can't wait for Point Blank to come out, i called Gamestop today, because that's what their site says, but the dude said it'd be in thursday. Quote
Bigfoot Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Time for a new DS or GBA game, but I have no idea what do get. http://Bigfoot.1up.com That's what I have currently. Give me some ideas Quote
The Mutericator Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Time for a new DS or GBA game, but I have no idea what do get.http://Bigfoot.1up.com That's what I have currently. Give me some ideas Love Metroid? Go for Castlevania DS first. I've been a Metroid fan for years, and as soon as I heard Castlevania was Metroid-style exploration, I was hooked. Add in RPG elements, especially since you also seem to enjoy Elder Scrolls, and you're in for a hit. Just be sure to not to get the crappy ending, or you'll have a reaction like the one in my signature. xD Also, I'll probably be getting a Lite for my birthday in about half a month or so. Quote

CC Ricers Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Has anyone taken a look at Project Exile? It definitely looks to warm the hearts of SNES-era RPG fans. In fact, it's like Chrono Trigger, FF6 and Seiken Detsensu had a three-way and produced these graphics. And it's not even from a well-known studio. If the gameplay lives up to the hype it might be the next big thing for the DS. The announcement of the system is ambiguous, though. From the screenshots and trailer it appears to be a GBA game, but the website only mentions a DS version. Quote
beneath the sea Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Did everybody forget that Maple Story has almost no depth and isn't fun for very long? Quote

KWarp Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Got my DS Lite today. As I was buying it I thought to myself.. why am I spending $130 on another DS? Then I opened the box. GORGEOUS. When I brought it home to compare to my old DS.. wow. Then I experienced Wifi multiplayer with New Mario Bros for the first time.. Quote
