Nintendo DS / DS Lite / DSi / DSi XL / 3DS thread

yes, another game geek thread, lol. just wondering what people on here own, what games do you still play? just ordered a blue DSi XL for my trip to Vegas and gonna go off on some DQIX. haven't really touched the system in 2 yrs since my Lite broke, so trying to catch up.

when is the 3d one available?

2011

lol at the people who bought the DSi weeks before the DSi XL came out

this "3DS" concept is fascinating. i was confused at first as to how it would work

I'm still rockin' the first DS I plan on buying the DS Lite soon .

I want Lite because it can play GBA games .

Same here man, I have my original w/ an old school NES skin on it. I rarely play it anymore though. It was nice when I traveled all the time, but now I only ride the bus for like 10 minutes.

Yeah, I haven't play mines in a min .

I never traveled with it because it's pretty thick . The size of the Lite is perfect for me

I've got a DS Lite in Zelda gold w/ a triforce on the front.....eh you said it was a game geek threat. i haven't even finished Zelda: Spirit Tracks yet but it's a good game. i've got New Super Mario Bros which i never play and Mario 64 DS.

Super Mario 64 DS is win . The controls take a little getting used to ( since there's no analog stick ) but other than that...it's great .

my SP is probably what i play most these days, for GB, GBC and GBA games. that shit never gets old

I just got a bunch of emulators for my droid; nes, snes, gbc, and gba, then downloaded a bunch of roms. I understand the legality of pirating current games, but I can't see buying a wii or ds so I can rebuy a mario game I already bought once 20 years ago. I buy some old games on xbox live arcade but it's a little different because of online multiplayer, achievements etc.

I want to get a DS Lite but I've read that the later models have a yellowing issue on one of the screens, also the d-pad is not the type I like being all mushy. DSi is still overpriced so I'll just wait until the 3DS comes out and get a DSi for cheap. I used to have a GameBoy Micro with a flash card, I played it all the time on the toilet, big fan of the WarioWare games, they're some of the most fun and creative games out there.

I got the original DS when it came out in blue. Now I have it and two lites (one black, one white). The white one has a crappy L button and the black one has a shitty touch screen (the connector inside is bad or something). I play with the white the most.

Way back when I got it, I played Metroid Prime: Hunters a ton. 5 star license and stuff, I have the Pokémon stuff too. >_>

...no comment lol

i've got a black ds lite, i hardly ever play it though. it just sits in the bottom of my bag just in case i'm bored or something, heh.

anyway. games i've bought and hardly played:

new super mario bros - i should just admit it, i'm no good at platform games!

super monkey ball touched - looked interesting but the control system is fucked. the original gamecube versions are beautiful though.

mario kart - only really good to play multiplayer

games i've downloaded and played the fuck out of:

mario vs donkey kong 2 - march of the minis - easily the best ds game i've played

animal crossing - i dunno why but it's addictive as fuck

warioware touched - another very addictive one

i was also rather disappointed by both drawn to life and scribblenauts. great concepts, just not carried out terribly well.

I've got all the DS's up until the latest XL one or whatever. I have quite a few games, but I haven't played it in a while.

Bangai-O Spirits - Fucking amazing game, developed by Treasure. Enough said.

Kirby Canvas Curse - I loved playing this when it first came out, it was the first killer app in my opinion.

Meteos - One of my favorite puzzle games, too bad they fucked up the franchise with a crappy disney skin.

Advanced Wars, both of them - Not too much different than the GBA ones I'd say, but still addictive and enjoyable.

Big Bang Mini - Unique concept, cheap game, great music.

Mario & Luigi Partners In Time - my first mario and luigi RPG, I loved it.

Retro Game Challenge - If you like 8-bit gaming, it is awesome and addictive. It's many games in one.

Space Invaders Extreme - Really stylized shmup, love it.

One of the best games released for the DS was The Dark Spire, imo. Stripped down western RPG. great game. wooo.

I love that game. It's so simple but great.

there is a fixed version. I stopped playing this and I don't know why. Phantom Hourglass, I really couldn't put the DS down for more than an hour before loading my game up again.

Interesting - missed that. Thanks for the tip.

spirit tracks is more or less a less bs version of phantom hourglass.

(speaking of less bullshit versions of games, HOLY SHIT HOW GOOD IS MARIO GALAXY 2)
