[Guest Epic_Rice]

I'm still wondering if I should get Final Fantasy IV, I wonder if it has WiFi capability.

[Guest ix3katz]

hello. i'm planning to buy this cute pink pouch for ~20 bucks.

[]

[]

[]

[]

what do you guys think? is it worth it? >_>

yahhh i don't really think it's worth it either...$20!!

i bought a pouch for mine too ...on gmarket

i don't have a pic cuz gmarket doesn't let me link pics..but mine is a toki doki one ...its soooo cute...good quality, n it was only $9!

[weirdnshort]

I borrowed my sister's DS and it's been about a week now... I'm so hooked to "the world ends with you"... I finished the 7 days in 2 days!

Also checking out: lunar knights (not bad, but i'm too lazy to level up right now and i die too easily), nintendog

I tried summon knights (?) and children of mana.. they're too happy for me...

I heard FFIV is awesome... i can't wait

Ah... now I want a DS of my own... i don't want to return it

I wish i knew japanese.. they have some cool games only available in japanese.

[Guest marasshi]

^I think there are guides online for those Japanese games. I used to play Taiko no Tatsujin DS (both of them), Ouendan (again, both of them) without knowing any Japanese besides my name in Katakana. T_T And I played some Harvest Moon games in Japanese as well. : D

[weirdnshort]

really?!! ah.. i want to play deathnote and HYD.. hm.. tempting

thx for the info

[Guest Crispy]

-FF4!!!!! <--I can't wait for this one

I'M PLAYING IT RIGHT NOWS.

Mmm.. re-imagined nostalgia. <33

SPOONY BARD.

[weirdnshort]

i checked out FFIV.

This is my first time playing FF.. honestly, it's boring. It's like Pokemon with a better storyline. I wished they had a better interface.. like attacking with just one click"A" button or utilizing the stylus instead of waiting your turn to attack...

*goes back to TWEWY

[Guest amydien]

I started playing Taiko no Tatsujin DS today. Wooohoooo! *forgets about unfinished Ninja Gaiden*

It's much more fun to play! I think Im more into these kinds of games instead of the action ones..

[Guest SEaCrET_WisH]

Hey How do I connect with everyone? Do I have to buy a connection thing ?

[Guest <3 Kim]

Not sure about mario kart

but for Pokemon DIamond use your Palpad (in key items) which you get when you go downstairs at a Pokemon centre I think

[Guest sugar.stars]
