Worth getting a DS lite?

[FallenAngel411]

When all you care about are Final Fantasy III, IV, V, VI? I dunno what to do...

[I Took the Red Pill]

Well there's 4 great games you have right there, and even if you don't think you like any other Nintendo games, I say give them another chance. There are alot of good to great DS games out there. Mario Kart DS, Mario 64 DS, Nintendogs, Advance Wars Dual Strike, New Super Mario Bros, Metroid Hunters, Animal Crossing WW, Warioware Touched, I could go on (Not to mention the whole GBA library). I honestly don't think you would be disappointed.

I reccomend you try to get Castlevania DoS.

an extremely good RPG apparently.

If 'all you care about' is Final Fantasy, then the DS is an excellent system to broaden your horizons. There's a pretty high chance of you picking out a high quality game at random, though there are a few stinkers as well.

There are several recent topics with people asking what games to get for the DS. The ones that show up frequently are all good picks.

Castlevania is an action game with RPG elements (EXP, leveling up, getting stronger and such), but there are a few other RPGs I'm looking forward to as well. There's Magical Starsign, which you can play with 5 more people over the internet I believe. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, which will have online battles among other features. Children of Mana and Contact are also 2 RPGs I'm highly anticipating.

I'm not sure if Dragon Quest's Rocket Slime is an RPG, but I'm anticipating that one as well.

FF1-6 on DS. Also supposedly getting a CC sequal. And you can play FFTA on it. Not that you need a DS for half of this. But FF3 looks nice. And if the price deters you, you can always get the original DS used for cheap. That's what I did. Its not a bad system. I've been abusing it with GBA games lately myself. But now that I'm done with the Castlevanias for GBA I shall move on to DS Castlevanias

Then Children of Mana, Lunar Knights, Magical Starsign, three good RPGs coming out soon, the new Starfox game is out, Vandal Hearts is supposedly being made for the DS, as are Xenosaga 1 and 2 remade on one cartridge.

The DS has so much to offer, even just in terms of RPGs

Roleplaying Soma.



though its officially stated as an Action game, there wrong :]

[edczxcvbnm]

Nah. RPG fans just don't know what other genres are like so anything with the slightest of RPG elements is an RPG because they don't know any better

RPG elements don't make a game an RPG.
