is the DS a good purchase? What are the best games for it?

12/24/2006 8:25:57 PM

Yes it is.

12/24/2006 8:44:36 PM

It's a great purchase. Any of the Castlevania games, Advance Wars, Final Fantasies, Metroid, Zelda, Kirby...there's a shitload of stuff worth playing.

12/24/2006 9:16:30 PM

yeah i saw the zelda: phantom hourglass coming out for it.

that is tempting...seeing as i'm a zelda fanatic...

i also like the aspect of the free wifi multiplayer

12/24/2006 9:20:18 PM

Finally got a wifi dongle today, first thing I did was watch dick in a box on the wii, ha ha.

I guess I was too late for the christmas gift, or was it the virtual console games?

12/25/2006 9:01:21 AM

Has anyone played that Trauma (Second Opinion) game? I've heard it was pretty good on the DS, and even better on the Wii, but haven't heard anyone talk about it.

12/25/2006 9:31:28 AM

I havent gotten any christmas wii thing yet, so maybe you are still in luck.

12/25/2006 11:54:49 AM

^^I have TC, but haven't played too much of it. It's essentially the same storyline/missions as the DS, remade for the Wii with an additional tool (defibrillator) and an alternate storyline that branches off from the main missions. I'd recommend it - it's definitely more fun on the Wii, and some of the missions that were horrendous in the DS version (Triti strain, I believe) have supposedly been made more manageable.

12/25/2006 12:01:18 PM

I'm just worried TC would lose it's novelty after the first play or two and wouldnt have much replay value. ... any idea?

12/25/2006 1:02:04 PM

so i need to find one

12/25/2006 1:17:43 PM

same heh

12/25/2006 1:31:56 PM

Excite Truck...so far...is awesome!

12/25/2006 2:07:33 PM

my borther got me madden for christmas. so i need a wii now. i was gonna get one anyway, but now it's urgent! srsly tho, whenever anyone finds a/b more shipments, post here plz.

12/25/2006 3:24:20 PM

It very well could, but there are different difficulty levels, as well as grades you receive after each procedure (A, B, C, with A being the best and extremely hard to get), so there should be at least a bit of replay value.

12/25/2006 8:12:54 PM

actually s rank is above a rank

12/25/2006 8:19:41 PM

didn't get one for xmas, looks like ill have to save for one myself

12/25/2006 8:51:26 PM

I got Raving Rabbids and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for the ole Wii for Xmas. Raving Rabbids is pretty fun so far, I haven't played much of Marvel though, (my roommate already has it on 360, doh!)

12/25/2006 9:01:18 PM

I got a $25 gift card to best buy

i'm going to buy call of duty 3

anyone played it on wii? Thoughts?

12/25/2006 9:46:58 PM

i thought it was the best of the first person shooters out right now, but no multiplayer was a big letdown.

12/25/2006 10:04:31 PM

add me!!

7366 6564 1519 0591

12/25/2006 10:10:58 PM

I got two Wiimotes for Christmas

12/25/2006 10:13:03 PM

for anyone who got a wii, please go ahead and post your code in the "Wii Codes" thread to add to the growing list

12/25/2006 11:04:31 PM

12/26/2006 1:02:00 AM

ya if anyone has any insider info on the next shipments. that'd be awesome gonna buy one as soon as I can find one

12/26/2006 1:55:46 AM

me too, let us know

12/26/2006 3:16:08 AM

i got one last friday by going and standing around gamecrazy even though the employees there that day said they weren't getting any. i stood around for an hour & a half, and the fedex man showed up with 4 wiis.

12/26/2006 9:21:48 AM

monkey ball is pissing me off

it takes like 20 minutes to move in between mini games, especially the simple ones you want to play several times, there needs to be a god damn retry button.

(and the controls are hard, at least they seem to be, maybe i just need to get used to the wii.)

12/26/2006 11:48:59 AM

If you need your fix of run-and-gun action after Gunstar Heroes, I definitely recommend Metal Slug Anthology. The 2D graphics hold up really well.

12/26/2006 12:58:04 PM

so if anyone finds me a wii i will give them $20
and if they find one and go ahead and buy it i will give them $30 over the receipt price

12/26/2006 3:36:11 PM

^ I'm down for that as well. after jon gets his or what not. same deal

12/26/2006 4:58:25 PM

they are still going for like $500 on ebay


I think the prices are on the rise

12/26/2006 5:07:51 PM

So day after Christmas, no Zelda to be found, no wiimotes. Go figure.

12/26/2006 8:44:34 PM

this morning at best buy in garner...they had plenty of every game, including zelda...

12/26/2006 9:18:29 PM

Why does it take so long? You know you are supposed to twist the controller left and right and not just move it, right?

12/26/2006 11:00:35 PM

12/26/2006 11:09:00 PM

i chose rayman over elebits

12/27/2006 1:12:13 AM

So far I've got Zelda, Rayman and Dragonball Z. I think I'm set at least until WarioWare comes out. And just for kicks I put in SSBM and played for a while, so now I'm excited all over again about the new one
