The Nintendo DS

What is it? /dsnewb

I don't even know. My guess is that it's some tilt thing.

Ah yeah, sorry about that. Momiji is right. It's a paddle controller that was released with the DS version of Arkanoid... in Japan. You used to be able to get it on its own, but now the only way to get it new is with an imported copy of Arkanoid. I got it back when I could spend silly money on things like that.

Got Edgeworth and Korg DS-10 Plus today.

- The PSP goes into a hibernate mode when the battery becomes critical, saving your game until you can get it plugged in (in addition to warning you on screen when the battery gets low).

That is a lie! Why just yesterday I was playing FFVIII for a couple of hours off the charger and then SUDDEN HIBERNATION. That had never happened to me before because I'm so compulsive about hitting "Home" to check it and I thought I had lost my progress!

Maybe mine is broken

Anyone complaining about the lack of space on a DS ought to try the DSI XL when it's out the buttons are a little bigger and the screens are huge for a hand held.

I'm in severe need of both a new psp and a new ds I brought my old silver ds (original series) second hand a couple of years back and now it doesn't even fold closed. I had to superglue the hinge back together because the plastic casing cracked. I plain need a new psp because my niece busted it (thanks darlin, real sweet of you to decide I needed it and then to drop it on a lol) and it's completely dead.

However aside from the whole DS hinge being destroyed and fixed with superglue the DS console itself works fine like perfectly, in fact the top screen looks sharper than ever lol.

Games I have on the DS that I play regulary are:

Pokemon Diamond version
Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Bomberman DS
Animal Crossing (though I think the game cart died which sucks)

I just got Advance Wars Dark Conflict and my girlfriend just got Prof Layton Curious village which I will no doubt play as well.

I really want to get the Front Mission DS game, I looked on Ebay seems I can get one for like $20 which for me is more like £10, thats not bad.

Don't get a new DS now... developers already have their hands on the next generation DS...

It's not like that's coming out tomorrow.

Get one now if you're thinking of getting one.

I was looking into it, but I would have to try it out first to get a final verdict. Unfortunately I am overly pessimistic and envision a larger console with the same size input controls.

Yeah seriously. Don't spend your life waiting for the next best console or else you'll never enjoy what time has to offer now!

Well I've played on two now, one japanese one english and the buttons do feel bigger to me so thats my input on it.

jktrix' list makes me think he's got an acekard or r4 :p

I moved to the US in September/October of 2008 for school, which means I have had no job since then.
These are the DS games I've purchased since I've been in the US that I still have here. There might be one or two that I've left in Bermuda from one of my trips back (like Zelda Spirit Tracks which I left from my Christmas break).


The DS has been out since 2004, and I had a well-paying job up until I left for school. It's not a stretch to deduce how much more stuff I could have purchased in the space of 2004-2008 with a well paying job compared to 2008-now with no job.

This post is less out of a need to prove anything, but more because I like to show my collections off :P

These are some of the older games that I've brought with me.


On the last row, the 3 games are Jump Ultimate Stars, DS Rakubiki Jiten (Japanese/English dictionary thing), and Daigasso Band Brothers DX.

The DS is my favourite game system!

yeah ok, perhaps i believe you!

are you aware there are links to porn sites on that la.gg site you're using?

[JKTrix]

Changed :P It was blocked on my computer.

[Nice]

I can't believe those pokemon people! Soul Silver and Heart Gold isn't even out yet and they're already creating more! Great, another $35! =p I can't wait.

Also JKtrix, there's no need to defend why you have 93 DS games dude. It's an old system at this point and as a bonus, its one of the best, second to only the ps2. Plus in the past three weeks, I've spent $208.19 on DS games. =o So I shudder to think how many games i'll have by December. Anyway it's all thanks to this guy right here. He's got like over 190 DS games...

[Mirage]

the PS2 is even older, and I've just got 20 games, I don't even have 100 *pirated* games on my PS2 :p
