Gaming It Printed Money! In 3D! The Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/N3DS/Mobile Discussion

I need to get Retro Game Challenge.

 

So who's planning on checking out GTA for the DS?

I have to admit i'm tempted by it.. Course i also played and enjoyed the GTA that came out for the GBA, so many moons ago.. (Actually the only GTA game that i ever fully completed )

 

Tip for Fire emblem, remember to train Marth, I neglected his training and couldn't beat the last level and am now resoting to starting again, which is heartbreaking as although my file says 20 hours I must have played MUCH more than that restarting the levels continually.

 

how does the "downloading the Pokémon" at the Toys R Us Event thing work? My dad said he'd be going out to the area where our local Toys R Us is soon (Before the 21st) and he could take me to TRU. Do I just bring my Nintendo DS w/ Diamond or Pearl cart. and then the employees direct me to a download station?


the one game that interests me is BUILD A LOT and its currently at "low" for rental availability on GameFly.com I want to rent it first. The only place to buy it is Amazon.com Or at a GameStop. (I wonder why Best Buy or Target doesn't carry it).

 

I learned that harsh lesson with the first Fire Emblem game released on the GBA... I was always afraid to get Eliwood involved in the fighting, and payed for it later.

So far in "Shadow Dragon" i think i've been doing a good job of keeping the key units involved and leveled.

It's just so darned easy to charge in on your cavalry units and wipe everything out, ya know?

I just got to chapter 4 where you have the arena that you can use to level up. Unfortunately i got a little cocky and wound up staying in one round too long and i got Marth killed...WITHOUT saving.. I have to redo that whole mess over again

I also got RNG screwed on the previous chapter. I had widdled the boss down a bit with Draug, and...with 3 shots at attacking him, i had him surrounded and he SHOULD have died, but no, he dodged all 3 of my attack attempts, and then in wiped out one of my cavalry in the enemy phase.. It was such BS

This game isn't hard, unless you're trying to be perfect, at which point you wind up restarting several times.

 

On chapter 9 now and marth is significantly stronger than my other units, and I haven't lost anyone. I guess I also missed out on training last time due to using the double warp strategy (warping one unit to kill the boss and then warping marth straight to the throne/castle).

 

The reviews so far have been excellent. I'm a GTA fan so I'm gonna get in the near future for sure.

 

HENRY HATSWORTH IS A GOLDEN GOD.

Picked up the copy for my roommate today. After playing through level 1-1, I know I will be borrowing this all the time.

 

Haha, Happy Birthday Gameboy!

Hard to believe it's been 20 years...I received my first gameboy for my birthday in 1989...My parents always refused to buy me an actual NES because of all the stories they'd heard about it ruining your tv screen if left on too long... When the Gameboy came out (with it's own screen) they no longer had any excuses

My first 2 games were Tetris (of course, it came with the thing) and Supermarioland. Good times!

My grandparents purchased the unit for my parents to give to me for my birthday on a trip over to the United States (cause everything was cheaper back then then it was in Canada)...When they bring anything like that back, they used to always try putting batteries into the device and test it out before passing it along to my grandparents..

They thought the system was so nifty, that they actually went out and purchased 1 for every one of their grandkids for christmas (so my sister, and my 5 cousins), and even went so far as to purchase 2 for themselves!

 

Picked up GTA China Town Wars today. Pretty neat so far, the car theft mechanics are wicked, so far my character has 5 bags of coke after selling some LSD.

Yeah... one of the earlier missions!

 

Yes, "Contra 4" was ridiculous on normal level.


I was able to beat the easy mode (of course you don't get the whole game out of that), but normal was just evil..

I did find that, the further you got into the game, the easier it got, but that was all dependent on you having some sort of weapon other then the standard gun.


The power-ups are SO critical to success in that game. There are certain boss battles that i figure are near impossible with the standard gun...

EDIT: I also picked up Chinatown Wars.. It's decent enough, but i think i've finally grown tired of the GTA formula. The drug-dealing thing is kinda neat, but once you figure it out, it makes getting money a bit too easy...

 

Chinatown Wars is chock full of win. Loving this game.

 

I recently started playing my DS again. I've been playing Pokémon (I know, I know... I'm lame.), Peggle Dual Shot, Castlevanie: Order of the Ecclesia, and My Japanese Coach. I've been given a lot of grief because of the Japanese Coach. They were saying that it's not true Japanese. I told them, "I'm just wanting to learn the language." Sure, it isn't the best way to learn the language, but it is a beginning.

The only thing I am having problems with is getting my DS online. Before, when I was living with my parents, I had no problems because we didn't have the internet secured. When I got the internet in my apartment, I secured my internet. I have the Wii connected, but I cannot get the DS online.

 

Do you know what kind of security you have? If it's a WEP code, which is the most likely scenario, then you just have to enter it in the Wi-Fi setup menu.

In other news, I also picked up Chinatown Wars recently. Good stuff so far, all the touch screen elements are great especially tattooing people.

 

I honestly don't remember. I had a friend help me set it up. It just tells me that "The access point's security settings are not supported by the Nintendo DS. For help, visit www.nintendo wifi.com."

 

It might have to do with the fact that your internet is secured.....But the fact that your Wii can get online makes me wonder......




Oh, and you're not lame for playing Pokemon. I got Platinum last month and it took me three weeks to get there, but I made it to the Hall of Fame after beating the Elite 4. I've recently been breeding random FR or LG pokemon on my Fire Red & Leaf Green games so I can migrate them to Platinum.

 

The DS only supports WEP encryption, while the Wii supports WEP and WPA. My guess is your router is set on WPA (which is the newer and more secure) security setting.

 

Anyone else playing Henry Hatsworth?

 

Found 2 hidden suit pieces so far, I think. Been going back to explore?
