OceansAndrew Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I dunno about you guys, but I'm excited for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 coming out for the DS with online play. Those were the best MK games, not this 3D crap. I never was a fan of Mortal Kombat games, but any DS game that has online play is cool in my book. I wish puzzle quest had online play; my wife and I have been playing the hell out of it, but on the same card, and no one nearby is nearly as far as we are (level 45 or so), so we can't challenge (aka pwn) anyone. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-pa Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 "That new Nintendo" LOL Yes, because we all know the Wii is the immediate successor to the original "Nintendo," the NES (for those old enough to remember when the name was synonymous with all video games) More like the New New New NEW Nintendo! Maybe the DS thing has to do with so many people still calling it a GameBoy. So when I mention a DS, they don't quite comprehend that the DS is not technically in the GameBoy line (for some reason).If I remember correctly, the DS was not originally intended as a successor to the Gameboy Advance; it was going to be it's own line. But due to the DS's success and the GBA's limitations (and maybe influence from the PSP ) I guess it's playing the role anyway.Edit: I dunno about you guys, but I'm excited for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 coming out for the DS with online play. Those were the best MK games, not this 3D crap.I wouldn't be so optimistic if I were you. They have a very bad track record with portable games and ports in general. MK Advance, anyone?And why couldn't they just port MK2, which the vast majority agree is the best in the series anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Even better, virt is doing the soundtrack of Contra 4, so I'm definitely picking the game up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 ^^ Agreed. When I saw that Virt was doing the music, I was pumped. Might actually go out and buy this one (as opposed to flash-carting it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the best MK games, not this 3D crap. Think that's the one that's available on xbox live arcade, i already bought that one but it's neat that it's coming for DS too. Contra 4 looks pretty cool i was never a contra fan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Contra 4 DS in action in different sections of this video. http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/12644 Now this is the Contra that I've known and loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Contra 4 DS in action in different sections of this video.http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/12644 Now this is the Contra that I've known and loved. The writeup over at 1up about Contra 4 was funny in that they conveniently ignored Contra Shattered Solider and just went on and on about how no true Contra sequel has appeared. I mean it doesn't have the spread gun, but it played like Contra to me. And it was harder than fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWarp Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I acquired Band Brothers at Anime Expo. Kinda regretting the purchase. Two thumbs is a little too limited for faster music. I see why Nintendo never really pushed the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drack Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 This hasn't been mentioned yet: Mega Man ZX Advent is slated for a July 12 (J) release. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21065.html I just noticed, after watching this video again, that there is no blood. So lame.. it's Mortal Kombat for crying out loud. Hopefully there will be a blood code like the Genesis had for MK1. I'm afraid if they ever did release a new Duke Nukem game that he'll be forced to say things like "I'll rip your head off and doo-doo down your neck".

Darth GourryGN Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Did I mention that Transformers is awesome on DS? It is buggy as hell and has no real online mode, but it kicks ass. It has a Pokemon feel to it not just with the two different versions but in finding new vehicles to turn into which kicks ass because it changes the look and weapons of your robot. School bus? Sure. Funky Bus? Hell yeah, firing purple plasma balls. Anyone who is dying to make music on their DS should try NitroTracker. It is a tracker. I didn't really know anything about trackers but I thought it would be fun to try and figure it out. You can record samples using the DS microphone, which is all sorts of ear raping fun.

eternal Zero Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm thinking of upgrading to a DS Lite soon. Even though I've still got a fully functioning red DS in awesome condition, I'm convinced that a Lite definitely helps your gameplay. Seriously, I find the screen/stylus combo better and I do like the brighter screens. The main point of this post is to ask if you guys think that a redesign of the DS will be released at the next E3. There's been some chatter about it, and it's definitely worth waiting for...if it's really coming. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I don't think there will be another redesign. The Lite is fine as is. The original DS needed it though. And if there is one, I'm keeping my lite anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah, I just got a Lite about a month ago, and once I got that skin/protector cover on it, it's pretty damn nice. A redesign now? Too soon. Way to soon. The Lite isn't exactly lacking in anything. The screens are pretty damn bright and clear, and the battery life is good. A redesign now would be pointless.

Bigfoot Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The redesign, if there is one, is geared towards older folks. You know, like those phones with massive buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining Mirage Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I purchased my DS lite maybe about a week or two ago and am very much satisfied with what I have. Now that I hear news of another DS variant, I'm wondering the true purpose in this? Any news on what these spectacular changes will be... (Other than the possibility of larger buttons, Like Bigfoot said...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm pretty happy with my DS Lite. It's funny though before i had my Lite i very rarely played DS. Maybe it just took that long for some interesting games to come out. I doubt there's a new redesign being revealed at e3 there probably will be some new colors though. I think i'm getting too old (22) to appreciate different colored handheld/consoles anymore. I owned 2 different GBA's and 2 different SP's. My lite and wii are both white and i could care less if they make new colors in the future, though i admit that a black wii could be very sexy.
