Nintendo DS?
 

Does anyone here have one?


What games do you guys play? (That are good. Duh. Obviously?)
And what are you waiting for (if any?)


I just got one game, Zelda- Phantom hourglass, (loving it! )

:D

My kids have a DS Lite... they love it :) My son's hooked on Pokemon, and has nearly every game available. They enjoy Mario Kart, and I confess that I do as well :D

Multiplayer games are cool... we race Mario Kart either with or against each other. Good way to teach them teamwork... "Hey, I'm dropping a banana peel around this bend..."

We *found* Over The Hedge a couple of weeks ago. Walked out of a restaurant and my wife stepped on it... someone lost it in the snow a while ago, I think. They've enjoyed it, although the multi-player on it sucks. One simple cheesy game of fetch... fugeddaboudit!

I've been resisting getting my own... after all, there are RPGs out there for DS... and three-way Mario Kart would be kind of cool... :hehe:

this is gonna sound realllllll dumb of me. But. you have kids? o_o.. I honestly thought you were like 20? 25 tops. Well. yeah


good stuff for DS :D. I think. I've heard. But Mario cart is awesome, my brother has that. I've played it on his a few times before, but now that I have my own. Its gonna be fun mutliplayering-ing..


:hehe:

LOL! Yep, I've got kids... Ages 8 and 11 (almost). I left my 20s behind a while ago... 41 at last count, and still gaming strong (love that new MM7 mod!).

Glad to know I don't sound like an old geezer yet!

Mine collects dust :S

I've been wanting to get Professor Layton and the Curious Village, though.

Re: Nintendo DS?
 

Oooh I played the demo for that game! Looks very promising, but zelda takes cake :3

Re: Nintendo DS?
 

I have had a few games for it, and I love them all at first, but they're so shallow I lose interest...Trauma Center was good, but I couldn't finish it, because it required too much dexterity, and was repetitive...and Metroid: Hunters couldn't hold my interest...Star Fox, I tried, and couldn't play for much time.

The game I played the most was Super Mario 64, and my first gen DS makes my hand cramp playing that game :(

So, I might like a game like the Hotel Dusk game. Or Professor Layton.

The minigame DS titles, though, just get old real quick.

My son has Mario Kart, Phantom Hourglass, Mario Party DS, Kirby Squeak Squad, and a neat game called Drawn to Life. It is RPG but you get to draw your character, weapons, etc. It is a unique approach.

Sophisticated people may scoff at this, preferring to read classic literature, or partaking in fine wines, but nothing kills a long planeride like starting a new game of pokemon.

Behind that childs cartoon is a gaming world of strategy. :D

Re: Nintendo DS?
 

Ah? Hmm... Have you tried playing Phoenix Wright series? ITs basically a game about lawyers, and murder cases. Sounds lame, but its a really really intense game. Think trauma center but without the need for dexterity but instead you have a serious need of critical thinking. Like, you really have to think to play the game. its amazing.


uh ...yep.


And Kyrvias, the part about pokemon strategy is true. I think its hard for people to imagine that, because when people think "video games? Cartoons?! How can one learn anything from <b> thatt?! </b> " Cartoons and video games have advanced to the point that they require serious critical thinking to play.


Am I right or am I right? :hehe:
