Rayman? I want one!

Are you serious? Warioware ROCKS! I was kinda unsure about it at first but then I played it at a friends house. Man it was fun!


And I really want Rayman. And I mean REALLY!

It's released in aussie in the 17th can't wait!

DS nor PSP for that matter really appeal to me at all, seems like everyones in such a drug induced 3D craze that they have to have energy hungry graphics in there poclet, ok man am I exagerating...but I still think GBA is better then a PSP or DS by leaps and bounds, its timeless, got a great library, the graphics arn't nescecerrily top technology but there not supposed to be...and I'm going way off topic aint I; ok in short:
I think DS is a cool idea, I think PSP is a cool idea but people are making over them like they're these little electronic gods or something, mainly PSP just because Sony is an evil comglomerate, not as evil as Microsoft, but just a lesser of the two evils...uh, yeah....

Actually, unless you own a ton of GB/GBC games, it is impossible for the GBA to be superior to the DS because the DS runs GBA games. And the DS isn't about better graphics. It is about a whole new way to play games.

Good points, I didn't know DS could play GBA games.
Don't get me wrong though, I think its a cool idea, just nothing really that cool in my opinion, using the stylis in Metroid Prime Hunters is kinda annoying...Warioware Touched is pretty fun though overall the game library is pretty bland though...but what I'm saying is that I'm not sure if this 3D hand held thing is gonna last, it will most likely, it jus doesn't interest me though and.

I think what you need (in fact, we all need) is a DS game that you can play hours at a time. The newer DS games haven't really given us that. Alas, I know the cure. Xenosaga is coming. If you haven't heard of it's following on PS2....whazzuamaddawid'chu?

Aren't they realesing Final Fantasy for the DS??

(That would take a while to end)

They are remaking the REAL FFIII (the one never released in america) and they are making another FF Crystal Chronicals.

Oh, and Nintendo is announcing its DS online plans today. I'm REALLY HAPPY!

I already know the plans. Shigeru Miyamoto will come on stage, say the DS will be online "in the near future" and then a way for the DS to go online will be revealed. But unfortunately Nintendo will not be properly equipped to get DS online on time and there will only be about 2 games that go online. And then the online adaptors will become extremly hard to find so only about 20 people will get online.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm basically a Nintendo fanboy. So much so I pre-ordered the DS out of 2 shops just to be safe. But what they're doing about online capabilities for their consoles is outrageous. I mean, nowhere I can see sells an online adaptor for the gamecube. So much for the "O" in PSO: E1&2 and PSO: E3.

Fortunately for you, your DS doesn't need no stinking adaptor. You just need to be in a hotspot. And see my other topic. Animal Crossing will be the first online game.

Really? Square Enix is finally going to release Final Fantasy 3? But, uh, how would that make use of any of the DS's capabilities?

For menus and switching weapons on the fly. Checking your map and seeing your stats without having to pull up the start menu. And also remember, not every game has to use the DS's capabilities. I am perfectly fine with game that use nothing but the buttons. DS can be innovative, it doesn't has to be.

Hmm... right. Second screen as a menu. I just assume that if you aren't going to do something useful with both screens, it's better off as a Game Boy Advance game.

One thing that kind of bothers me... games focusing entirely on using the bottom screen as an input device, while ignoring the fact that it has X and Y buttons. Seems kind of pointless when you have those two extra buttons and don't actually use them.
I hope some games will find a nice use for those buttons.

I'me going to wait until Animal Crossing DS come out, then I'll buy myself a Nintendo DS.
