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

No worries. You have to hold it up for almost a full second for it to power on. Flicking it won't do the trick. It's also heavily (and small) spring loaded and hugs the side closely. I carry it in my pocket all the time and I don't think I've ever had it power on or off on accident, except for the time I was carrying human thumbs in my pocket.

But that doesn't happen too often.

 

Different problems caused by different designs then. That's why they made both!

 

Okay, but I'm telling you, that's never going to happen. It's just the way the button is made; random junk in your pocket isn't going to turn it on. And even if it could, at least it fits comfortably in your pocket, something that the phat is incapable of doing.

 

I find the improved touch screen to be worth the upgrade as well. The old DS felt soft and squidgy, like you had to press on it hard to make it work, the new one is a lot harder but more responsive.

 

So with the recent announcement of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, I'm planning on purchasing a DS in the near future. I browsed some gaming sites and found some games that I'd like to buy:

Mario Kart DS
Yoshi's Island DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Super Mario 64 DS
Sonic Rush
Sonic Rush Adventure
Super Princess Peach

Any other recommendations?

 

Phantom Hourglass is coming out soon, which should be good. Also, Elite Beat Agents if you're willing to give your touch screen a good beating.

 

I just take a look at gamerankings, and get the stuff that's rated high and looks good. For the most part, the averaged ratings are pretty faithful to how good the games are, although there are a few I'd question.

 

FFIII and FFIV when it comes out.
Pokemon Pearl or Diamond.

Oh, and there's also the GBA releases of the FF games, Golden Sun, and Boktai.

 

Touching is good...

And I know this is technically the wrong thread for it but it amused me anyway:

 

That's great.


Has anyone heard of or played Dementium: The Ward? It was released recently and looks tempting.

 

Yes, all Nintendo Handhelds are region free. Feel free to import. I have Jump SuperStars from Japan.

Granted I can't read Japanese, so I need to use a translator online, but meh.

 

has anyone tried out the "Are you Smarter than a 5th grader" DS game? Or "Flash Focus: Visual Training in minutes a day"? I've got an account with GameFly.com video game rental service and those two games are on my rent next list.

 

I just had to mention how BRUTAL "Contra 4" is, for the DS. Honestly, I consider myself a "Contra" vet, and figured I would have a good chance of lasting at least until past the first stage. Five minutes, and five departed soldiers later, my first continue screen. Still, for people that love the series, BUY THIS GAME!

 

I can't find a Nintendo DS Lite. I have a regular old style, but I have problems with the microphone and would like the DS Lite due to the on/off switch instead of a power button.

Is it possible they'll get DSes in the stores once they get Wiis back in stock more often?

 

Has anyone played Ultimate Mortal Kombat?

 

No, but I really need to get it. But I really REALLY need to get Guitar Hero: On Tour when it comes out.

 

My DS Lite won't respond to my touch anymore.

 

Try taking the screen protectors off.

 

My wife won't respond to my touch anymore.

 

Ouch, Hammurabi...maybe you should look into that?

I will try taking the screen protector off...hopefully that will work...but how will I protect my touch screen then?
