Nintendo DS

I got Animal Crossing last week, and it's one of the best games I've ever played! Mario Kart is good, but the Single Player mode is too easy to complete. My brothers got a DS and almost the same games as me, but he hardly ever plays on it and my Wi-Fi is down, so I can't go to anybody elses towns on Animal Crossing, or face some new people in Metroid Prime Hunters!!! :evil:

No, it's not a tomagatchi. The animals in it are more like self-reliant animal-human hybids.

garooob a écrit:Cool! Do you ever play online?

The online system's really hard, because you have to use codes if you want to online with people. Prevents hacking and bad deals on auctions. Plus, wifi isn't built into the system, and there's not an adaptor for it yet. So I've acessed the online function, but never used it.

Nope, still valid!
And Mario Kart DS is pretty fun. I played it Fry's Electronics. Did you hear that they're redesigning to DS?

Whoops. I meant to post stuff in response to the DS and the PSP. Since I'm just in guest mode, I can't go back and edit. Ah well.

At any rate, Animal Crossing is a really fun game. My brother has it for the gamecube. I played a game on my best friend's brother's PSP, which was an RPG. (Legend of Heroes) I liked it, mainly because the graphics were AMAZING. ^_^ I like the touch-screen thing on the DS though. (Sampled it and the game "Mario Cart" in Walmart. lol.) I would honestly buy both systems, if I had the money. ^_^

Anyhoo, the DS looks really neat -- along with the touchscreen, it accepts sounds as inputs, right?

Yep.

Don't get me wrong - I've played Mario Kart DS and I like it! It's pretty fun, but that kind of game is something that's better played with friends. If I want to play by myself, I'll fire up some Final Fantasy.

Just today I was watching a review of a Mario racing game for the DS, and they ("X-Play", G4-TV) were nutzo about it. They gave it a rating of 5

out of 5, which is pretty rare.

And that's why I haven't gotten a DS yet. I don't know anyone else who has one! All I could do is play one player and chat with myself, or hang out at McDonalds to play with someone else. (I don't like McDonalds.)

The Nintendo DS:
-Has 2 screens, the bottom being touch-sensitive.
-Can play both DS and GBA games.
-Has built in wireless networking. You can play some games in multiplayer mode using the wireless and only one cart! Up to 16 DSs can connect at once. The DS can also connect to a regular wireless network and go on line to play certain games. So far, Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing Wild World, Tony Hawk's American Sk8land and Metroid Prime Hunters (coming soon) use this feature.
-Embedded software "PictoChat" uses the wireless and allows people to write and draw to each other using the touch screen.
-Has a rechargeable battery
-Will be able to play the Code Lyoko game, when it comes out on November 15, 2006

edit:
Some more things:
-Last time I checked, the Nintendo DS was still outselling the PSP.
-Possibly this is due to not having stupid advertising like the PSP does. ("It's like a nut you can play outside?" I will NEVER buy a PSP just because of that.)

I thought one of you gamers would jump on this, but noooooooo! Anyway, DS stands for "Dual Screen", or something like that. It is a handheld video-game-unit that has not one, but two, LCD's, which lets them have the usual action on one screen and messages, inputs, etc. on the other screen (for instance). It also permits touchscreen inputs on at least one of the screens, and audio inputs. Très formidable!

I understand that feeling, garooob. ^_~ I collect Hello Kitty things.
But if they made weird Code Lyoko underwear, I'd probably buy that, too. Extra points if you actually wear it. (That's ultra fandom!) Haahaa.

What's a DS?

Hayzie: I'm not a gamer, but I watch a lot of game reviews on G4 television, just because they are fun to watch. Anyhoo, the DS looks really neat -- along with the touchscreen, it accepts sounds as inputs, right?

Anyhoo, pls keep us posted on how you continue to like it, and especially tell us about the CL game when it becomes available, puhleeeze!

Yep, you can play two-player with one. I beat my brother every time!
DS is pretty good. It has good graphics, and I like the touch screen. I got the Nintendogs game...but I don't have the patience for it. I get annoyed too easily.

He got MarioKart with his, I got some wierd Metroid Prime Hunter Demo. I also got this computer, which is good because my old one was really bad.

Sweet! Can you play 2-player Mario Kart with only one game? Tell us how you like it.

I put a DS on my Christmas list, but none of the presents my family sent me are big enough to be one (no, I didn't open them). There's a deal this weekend at Fry's Electronics for a red DS, Mario Kart DS and Bust-A-Move DS for $160... Nintendogs does look cute, but I don't know if I have the attention span for it.

par **exo** » 10 Déc 2005, 02:04

I don't often trust games based on TV shows...Least I don't have to buy a DS, I'm a hardcore Nintendo fanboy.
