Konnichiwa minna.
I am a new owner of a DS (black), and I am just wondering what games you guys recommend. I have been browsing at local stores, but the only ones that I find interesting are Mario and Final Fantasy. Any input would be great.
Sayonara! Arigato gozaimasu!
Just a weeaboo tip: "Sayounara" is more of a "farewell" than a casual "bye", so you shouldn't use it if you plan to be back here soon. As for gaming tips, I suggest the Ace Attorney games, though not owning a DS myself I've never personally played them.
Second weeaboo tip: Randomly inserting japanese into your text gets real annoying real fast.
I also suggest the Ace Attorney games, especially if you were raised on the old Sierra/Lucasarts adventures. Another must-have is Elite Beat Agents. Even if the tracklist doesn't suit your tastes on the surface, the cover bands used in the game improve on a lot of them, and the story bits push it squarely into the realm of AWESOME. You can also import Ouendan 1 or 2 if you're so inclined.
Just because I insert Japanese into my message doesn't mean anything. You guys hang around here too, so what does that say about you?
But thank you for the recommendations, I will definitely check them out.
Arigato
Better yet, why say bye anyways? People never ask for something and say "See ya" after their question.
Anyways, Phoenix Wright is amazing. Go for Castlevania games also (I liked DoS more than PoR). Trauma Center is also great, along with MOST first party titles.
Another vote for Ace Attorney. I also highly enjoy Kirby Canvas Curse but that's because I am a master of speed in that game. Squeak Squad just wasn't as good.
Also Dokidoki Majo Shinpan is now out if you want something fucked up to import.
yes yes
Dokidoki Majo Saiban look like the best snkplaymore game in years
GO BUY IT
...
or order online
at ... play-asia ... good store desu lol i b weeaboo2

Jump Super Stars and Jump ultimate stars
r funny
Get EBA and/or Ouendan. Anybody who says EBA's soundtrack sucks is a dumbass weeaboo. I've never played Ouendan.
arigato LOL THAT MEANS THANK YOU IN JAPANESE LOL
>>8
I've played both Ouendan (friends) and EBA (mine), beat both, etc.
EBA's soundtrack is ***LEAPS AND BOUNDS*** above Ouendans.
You're supposed to say "Ja mata" but only when speaking to somebody who only knows Japanese.
I found Ouendan 1's songs more generally enjoyable than EBA's. But Ouendan 2's sucked. IMO.
Band Brothers is good too, but it's all MIDI so a lot of people will say that the music in that game sucks. I still enjoy it for the gameplay, and the fact that you can make your own songs in there.
Ouendan's music>shitty emo music
I advise buying an R4DS. Look it up.
R4DS is decent.
But slot 2 flash cards have their use too (e.g. emulating a GBA ROM full of Band Brothers tracks, or even playing GBA stuff.)
I plan to buy a slot 2, so that I can keep the current game I'm playing in the real slot, and so that I can copy savegames to/from my cart and hack friends' savegames.
I'm liking Puzzle League at the moment- daily play, puzzle mode, time attack etc.
Anyone have Picross? How's the downloadable content?
>>15
Japanese version: ok
European version: practically non-existent
<3 Nintendo Europe
>>6-7
From what I've heard, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan will only disappoint you. Even if you're the kind of raging paedophile this thing is aimed at, the actual witch-touching segments are apparently extremly brief, and the rest is dialogue.
>>14
seconded
Oh and regarding EBA/Ouendan, get whichever one of the three is cheapest, then if you think it's awesome (you will) get the rest. I'm not a fan of Japanese music, unlike most of the people who hang out these boards, and I still think Ouendan 1 and 2 are awesome.
>>13
There are slot1 flash cards, too... look out for "DS Linker"...
>>18
The R4DS is a slot 1 flash card. I was saying that slot 2 cards also have their uses.
Harvest Moon DS(assuming you're able to get your hands on the European version and DS isn't region restricted), Animal Crossing Wild Wolrd, FF3, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Super Mario 64 DS (assuming you don't have it for VC or 64).
>>20
In actual factual I also want to use the thing to hack savegames. So whatever I get will need to support accessing slot 1 while booting from slot 2. I was originally planning to get a Supercard because there is some software for that thing specifically for doing this sort of thing.
It would appear that Ms. >>1 doesn't understand the nature of an anonymous messageboard. Especially with regard to, you know, "my messages".
How delicious is the irony then, that she would sprinkle weeanese all over her messages on a board whose format has been aped from the far east.
anyone know if ff12 revenant wings is actually coming out on ds?!
>>24
it's out in japan.
if you're asking about the US release...
it has "final fantasy" in the title.
what do you think?
>>1
Get Hotel Dusk. It's an amazing detective game with a storyline that's got some of the best dialogue I've had the pleasure of reading. If you've got online, definitely go for Mario Kart DS. When it comes out, I also suggest Bleach: Blade of Fate for the DS. It's made by a cult developer called Treasure Co. Ltd. and it's a fighting game with Wi-Fi and game-sharing, so you can play with anyone you know who has a DS. Mario Kart DS also has Wi-Fi and game-sharing.
>>24
FFXII: Revenant Wings is confirmed for the DS.
Hmmm.. You should proally get Megaman Star Force! It's a really really good game. Although, you should also Get Jump: Ultimate stars, it's a pretty good game, but takes a looooong time ta get used to. But oh! Maybe you might wanna wait for Maple Story then? I have no clue how it's gonna be like, but it sounds interestin'.
And if you're willing to wait for a LOOOONG while, get Final Fantasy Tactics A2! Hehe. Like tactics advance.. But two! ^_^
Hope it helps.
I also recently got a DS, I choose Pokemon Diamond as my first game. It's really nice. And for my second game I choose Megaman ZX. That's a must-get.
>>22
Any Slot-2 card that supports DLDI is now capable of doing that sort of thing, thanks to this homebrew software:
http://www009.upp.so-net.ne.jp/rudolph/nds/NDS_Backup/
I believe the wifi version is also compatible with Slot-1 cards though, it transfers the files via ftp to a computer on the wireless network
Since I don't spend 100% of my life locked in my room (and thus on the wireless network) I will probably go with the Slot-2 card option.
Phoenix Wright.
/thread
Advance Wars DS rocked. That is to say, it was really nice.
Playing through the first translated Phoenix Wright game, well... I was kind of disappointed how the writers dip into "magic" every now and then. It's like admitting that you can't really carry the story any further without resorting to the trapdoor option.
>>32
yeah, I'm into the last case of the third game, and although I love the series I really hope the fourth abandons all this spirit channeling bollocks.
>>6
Is that the mahjong game? Or is it the witch mark one?
Now now. All cases occur in their own world, and you have to immerse yourself in that world in order to have a fair trial.
