[RYUUSEi]

i checked out FFIV.
This is my first time playing FF.. honestly, it's boring. It's like Pokemon with a better storyline. I wished they had a better interface.. like attacking with just one click"A" button or utilizing the stylus instead of waiting your turn to attack...
*goes back to TWEWY

I have realized that - FF for DS is crap, it always ends up with me trying it out ('cuz I'm Squeenix's btch)
but after a while it gets so boring and crappy that my head explodes in annoyance.

TWEWY is so boring. D8 But maybe it's just me that's whizzed in the brain.

[<3 Kim]

Does anyone know if Death Note is going to be released in English anytime? T______________T I really want to play it T__T

[jo3y]

I'm new to the DSLite world and just started to play Cooking Mama. Is there anyway to "beat" the game? I got gold in nearly all the recipes and I haven't seen any new ones come up anymore. Is there a certain amount or something that I have got yet?

[<3 Kim]

^ once you finish all the receipes (not sure if you need to get all gold or not, but I did), you just get random fruits to fill up all the spaces :/ Nothing much though.
not sure about cooking mama 2, I haven't gotten all gold yet

[Joanne <3]

^ I was wondering the same thing as jo3y too! That's the reason why I abandoned Cooking Mama for a while because no new recipes were coming up. Actually, I haven't gotten gold in ALL of them yet... still a silver in that wonton one I think? Argh, so annoying. What do you do with the random fruits? Core them? Lol.

[<3 Kim]

^ Oh hthe fruits just sit there and do nothing
I finshed all the recipes on Cooking mama 2 but can't remember if anything happened I started playing the wii one but got bored of it cos it was all the same xD

i'm into the ff games but the ds ones aren't my style either.

i'm deeply addicted to ffta2 though... not into all the 3d mess on the ds unless it's really really good. ><

[jo3y]

I finally finished Cooking Mama! I got all gold except for one...the sweet tofu. I don't like those where you have to circle the right amount...its hard! But I'm happy I finished, the first game that I beat.

[onetwothuy]

I bought Guitar Hero On Tour for my DS.
Has anyone played it yet? (:
Freaking fifty bucks.

[WinSenSun12]

Hi anyone have a site of nintendo DS games that show pictures of the game?

[<3 Kim]

I finally finished Cooking Mama! I got all gold except for one...the sweet tofu. I don't like those where you have to circle the right amount...its hard! But I'm happy I finished, the first game that I beat.

lol, I spent about 4 hours doing that sweet tofu to get the gold. The circling thing was hard But I FINALLY got the gold after 4 hours.
in cooking mama 2 it's a lot easier

[Nobody?]

I dont know how some people can't get inot ffiv =C
It's alright game play, storyline is interesting
Although I don't like being turned into a sissy cape wearing paladin >=[

But then again...
I don't know people get in Trauma Centre or Cooking Mama
I find those games so ... boring .....

[jo3y]

Maybe I'm too used to the format of the the first Cooking Mama because the menu screen for the second one is too busy...things are over the place. I'm playing Neves now. It's pretty easy but some are hard.

I'm stuck on the 25th puzzle in Professor Layton...can someone give me a hint? I don't want to just look up the answer. Its the one about the germ and it doubles etc. Am I not reading the question right or does my math really suck?

Edit: Posted Twice

Hi anyone have a site of nintendo DS games that show pictures of the game?

hi, most sites usually have screencaps of games. try playasia. i know for sure that they have in-game pictures.

I tried to connect with my wireless internet but then It wont let me. I'm using netgear WGRG14v7 and I heard that WEP or something doesnt work ..?
I spent 3 hours on trying to sovle this and the NDS site is not helping -__________-

i read on their site (i think it was nintendo's site) that WEP doesn't work, but WPA works. whatever that means.





i want the nintendo ds browser, but they were discontinued in North America. >.< just in case that was a rumor, i looked online & went to a gamestop. but i really really want it... ><

i finally figured out how to play a game like zelda! my friend bought myst today. anyone ever played it before? she said she likes it.

[BishieAddict]

I dont know how some people can't get inot ffiv =C

lol it's because I hate waiting to attack. I don't know how to make the gauge go faster... I like automatic battles. hitting someone automatically with a press of a button or slash on the stylus. Why not use the DS to it's potential?? I don't have any loyalty to the classic RPG game interface. My friend likes it, gives him time to "think". Me, i'm impatient.

Now i'm hooked to Phoenix Wright. hehe it gets annoying when i can't figure out something... but that's what "walkthroughs" are for XD

[bashful_harmony]

Ahh Been playing Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (the Japanese version) for a week now.
So far, I am liking it a lot more than Harvest Moon DS and Cute, though I hate that you can only move using the touch screen. So annoying. lols
Can't wait for the English version to be released!

Virtual Console


Chase H.Q.� (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older�Drug Reference, Mild Violence, 600 Wii Points): This is a different style of racing game in which you attempt to catch criminals by chasing them and ramming their cars off the road. Playing as two cops from the NYPD special �CHASE H.Q.� unit, the first half of each stage involves you maneuvering your unmarked car in a heated chase, followed by an action sequence in the latter half. Once you reach the target vehicle, you flip on your lights and siren, and then try to stop the culprits by repeatedly colliding with them. Use your different gears wisely as you make your way through streets and around corners, and be careful not to hit objects or other cars, or you�ll lose speed. Also at your disposal are turbo units for temporary extra speed and ramming power.
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_H.Q.


ART OF FIGHTING 2 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen�Alcohol and Tobacco Reference, Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1994 by SNK, ART OF FIGHTING 2 sees 12 characters compete for the title in the toughest fighting contest of them all: King of Fighters. Each character has a range of deadly techniques in his or her arsenal, and players must use these lethal techniques to fight their opponents. As in the original ART OF FIGHTING, however, using a deadly technique lowers a character�s mental-energy gauge. For this reason, players must use these techniques carefully. Meanwhile, players can taunt an opponent to exhaust his or her mental energy, and even suppress their opponent�s techniques if successful. This type of mental-energy offense and defense gives ART OF FIGHTING 2 a uniquely enjoyable spin on the fighting-game genre. Further adding to the strategy required to win, an attack will become stronger or weaker depending on exactly when the button is pressed. And even if a player is thrown, defensive action is possible with the timely press of a button. All of this adds up to an intense and nail-biting fighting-game experience not found anywhere else.

Nintendo's unusual new Wii project, Captain Rainbow, from the developer behind GiFTPiA and Chibi-robo, Skip Ltd., is set to hit Japan on August 28th and at last some new concrete details have emerged from a Japanese retailer and have now been translated.

Completely out of the blue Nintendo revealed that it had a game called Captain Rainbow heading to Wii and that it would be out much sooner than anyone could have guessed, despite a trademark for the game's name appearing earlier in the year. Now information is starting to pour out of Japan at a spectacular rate as Nintendo attempts to quickly build up sufficient hype to help the game sell. Below are two new trailers from the game, showing off characters like Little Mac and Birdo, as well as the translated details from the NeoWing retailer website.

Watch all 3 trailers @ http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14265257/vids_1.html

To be honest, it's very lame.
If you don't have it already, you should get it on the Wii or XBox.
Your hands will get sore like a mofo from the DS. o-o
& The songs are pretty lame, too.
