Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Nintendo DS Thread: The second best thing to do in bed!

It has the benefit over the original DS of not causing you to list to one side when you carry it around
i kind of regret this
Was it all matte blue or something like that?

As of now I have: Chrono Trigger, Mario Kart DS, New Super Mario Bros., The World Ends With You, GTA: Chinatown Wars, and Rhythm Heaven.
I was leaning towards getting Flower, Sun, and Rain because I liked Suda 51's other games, but I haven't heard much about it.
it is both very good and will definitely last long enough to cover the first flight
(I cannot guarantee you will not obsessively play through it all before the flight back)
I remember buying it when the gba port was just released in 07'. A lot of portable games are difficult to find in stores if you're looking for them beyond their initial release cycle unfortunately.
I would say if you want to travel and play GBA games get a DS lite.
If you say only want to bust them out occasionally when you are at home just keep your GBA (because that plays original GB games too!) and get a DSi.

Unless you have access to the internet (or a guide) if you get stupidly stuck it may not be a good plane flight.
There is nothing more annoying in that game is to know exactly what is the contracdiction but the game is not letting you go forward because are presenting the right evidence to the wrong statement or vice versa.

hey whats advantages of a dsi?
anything really or just new size?
how much different size?
It would be good on a plane (I think) if you get stuck because you really can't go any further.
DSi is smaller has a camera and you can download games.
It also doesn't have a GBA slot.
I think they improved the battery life with it as well.

Dragon Quest V is excellent, as is Henry Hatsworth. Also, Kirby: Canvas Curse is still one of the best DS games and doesn't get enough love these days.

With that, is there any games out there that are enough like Golden Sun that when played you go "Oh, hey, this is like Golden Sun".
How are the Dragon Quest games? I've always kinda thought to be pretty much Final Fantasy games, a series I honestly cannot stand to play personally, but haven't actually seen more then a few bits of it here and there.

The Dragon Quest games are just plain fun. Fairly easy - there is some grinding, but the controls are simple, and sometimes I'd be posting on here or going to the bathroom at the same time as levelling up in the game, so it's really quite bearable. The stories are captivating; nothing too complex, but you do get quite involved in your character. I especially liked Dragon Quest 5's story. The music is cheesy but doesn't grow irritating, and the monsters are just goshdarn adorable.
Honestly, I'm really not a JRPG fan at all, and yet DQ 4/5 were keeping me up until 2-3 am even on work nights.
Each game lasted me 22-25 hours, so they're not overly long. DQ4 is unusual in that you don't play your hero character until chapter 5 - before then you spend each chapter playing one of the hero's future companions. It's a really good way to get a feel for your party members.
DQ5 sees you taking your hero from the age of about 8 to the age of 28, with marriage and kids along the way. It has a very epic feeling.
That actually sounds pretty cool. I might go pick up one of them tomorrow. Would you recommend one of them over the other for a first time person into the series?

Both games, although part of a trilogy, are stand-alone, and playing 5 first in no way spoils you for 4. So I'd recommend you play 5 first.
My roomie has an old DS she is willing to lend me, as long as I don't take it out and take good care of it. Now, I want to play me quite a few GBA games, but this does complicate things. Should I go with DS lite or a DSi/old DS combo?
Man, not to sound like a bastard, but I think that if you can't handle Phoenix Wright without a guide, that sucks. I mean, even in the cases where there's an obvious flaw in the logic and it's more about trying to do what the game wants you to do, you just save and then keep playing around until you figure it out.
Maybe I'm just inured to it from playing stacks and stacks of 2d adventure games, but damn. Compared to some of those, Phoenix Wright is not even remotely difficult. There are only so many pieces of evidence and/or courses of action that you can take.
I played IV and eventually got bored with it, but that sounds pretty damn cool.
Suddenly I'm on this old school hard-as-nails RPG kick. Etrian Odyssey, Dark Spire, Shiren the Wanderer?
It's like I hate myself.
when you get back (or now even) you should help me in my h/a thread because i need more advice because we are going to hawaii in august and my parents want me to figure out all the shit we are going to do
also, to the rest of the thread... if i haven't bought a ds game in a looooooong time, what one game would you get
