Nintendo Ds Thread - Only Talk About Ds Here

[Guest Nobody?]

I dont know how some people can't get inot ffiv =C

It's alright game play, storyline is interesting

Although I don't like being turned into a sissy cape wearing paladin >=[

But then again...

I don't know people get in Trauma Centre or Cooking Mama

I find those games so ... boring .....

[Guest jo3y]

Maybe I'm too used to the format of the the first Cooking Mama because the menu screen for the second one is too busy...things are over the place. I'm playing Neves now. It's pretty easy but some are hard.

I'm stuck on the 25th puzzle in Professor Layton...can someone give me a hint? I don't want to just look up the answer. Its the one about the germ and it doubles etc. Am I not reading the question right or does my math really suck?

Hi anyone have a site of nintendo DS games that show pictures of the game?

hi, most sites usually have screencaps of games. try playasia. i know for sure that they have in-game pictures.

I tried to connect with my wireless internet but then It wont let me. I'm using netgear WGRG14v7 and I heard that WEP or something doesnt work ..?

I spent 3 hours on trying to sovle this and the NDS site is not helping -__________-

i read on their site (i think it was nintendo's site) that WEP doesn't work, but WPA works. whatever that means.

i want the nintendo ds browser, but they were discontinued in North America. >.< just in case that was a rumor, i looked online & went to a gamestop. but i really really want it... ><

i finally figured out how to play a game like zelda! my friend bought myst today. anyone ever played it before? she said she likes it.

I dont know how some people can't get inot ffiv =C

lol it's because I hate waiting to attack. I don't know how to make the gauge go faster... I like automatic battles. hitting someone automatically with a press of a button or slash on the stylus. Why not use the DS to it's potential?? I don't have any loyalty to the classic RPG game interface. My friend likes it, gives him time to "think". Me, i'm impatient.

Now i'm hooked to Phoenix Wright. hehe it gets annoying when i can't figure out something... but that's what "walkthroughs" are for XD

Ahh Been playing Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (the Japanese version) for a week now.

So far, I am liking it a lot more than Harvest Moon DS and Cute, though I hate that you can only move using the touch screen. So annoying. lols

Can't wait for the English version to be released!

Chase H.Q.® (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older—Drug Reference, Mild Violence, 600 Wii Points): This is a different style of racing game in which you attempt to catch criminals by chasing them and ramming their cars off the road. Playing as two cops from the NYPD special “CHASE H.Q.” unit, the first half of each stage involves you maneuvering your unmarked car in a heated chase, followed by an action sequence in the latter half. Once you reach the target vehicle, you flip on your lights and siren, and then try to stop the culprits by repeatedly colliding with them. Use your different gears wisely as you make your way through streets and around corners, and be careful not to hit objects or other cars, or you’ll lose speed. Also at your disposal are turbo units for temporary extra speed and ramming power.

ART OF FIGHTING 2 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen—Alcohol and Tobacco Reference, Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1994 by SNK, ART OF FIGHTING 2 sees 12 characters compete for the title in the toughest fighting contest of them all: King of Fighters. Each character has a range of deadly techniques in his or her arsenal, and players must use these lethal techniques to fight their opponents. As in the original ART OF FIGHTING, however, using a deadly technique lowers a character’s mental-energy gauge. For this reason, players must use these techniques carefully. Meanwhile, players can taunt an opponent to exhaust his or her mental energy, and even suppress their opponent’s techniques if successful. This type of mental-energy offense and defense gives ART OF FIGHTING 2 a uniquely enjoyable spin on the fighting-game genre. Further adding to the strategy required to win, an attack will become stronger or weaker depending on exactly when the button is pressed. And even if a player is thrown, defensive action is possible with the timely press of a button. All of this adds up to an intense and nail-biting fighting-game experience not found anywhere else.

Nintendo's unusual new Wii project, Captain Rainbow, from the developer behind GiFTPiA and Chibi-robo, Skip Ltd., is set to hit Japan on August 28th and at last some new concrete details have emerged from a Japanese retailer and have now been translated.

Completely out of the blue Nintendo revealed that it had a game called Captain Rainbow heading to Wii and that it would be out much sooner than anyone could have guessed, despite a trademark for the game's name appearing earlier in the year. Now information is starting to pour out of Japan at a spectacular rate as Nintendo attempts to quickly build up sufficient hype to help the game sell. Below are two new trailers from the game, showing off characters like Little Mac and Birdo, as well as the translated details from the NeoWing retailer website.

Watch all 3 trailers @ http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14265257/vids_1.html

I bought Guitar Hero On Tour for my DS.

Has anyone played it yet? (:

Freaking fifty bucks.

im thinkin of buy it but its like $80AUD here.. i think i mite ebay it

[Guest onetwothuy]

To be honest, it's very lame.

If you don't have it already, you should get it on the Wii or XBox.

Your hands will get sore like a mofo from the DS. o-o

& The songs are pretty lame, too.

[Guest Raw Sugar]

^ I have Guitar Hero and its not horrible. I like it a lot actually but I don't play it very often. My hand hurts from playing a lot too, but you just have to take breaks in between and put you hand and arm in the right positions when you play (the game tells you how). And I didn't think that songs were THAT lame, but I prefer the ones on the other guitar hero games.

Yeah, I heard the DS one is really crap as well

Is the Wii one worth buying? If it's fun I might get it

[Pogichinoy]

Hi anyone have a site of nintendo DS games that show pictures of the game?

[Guest jo3y]

i played phoenix wright ace attorney for 5 hrs today. @_@ that case 4 was soooo friggin long. but jeezuz i was blown how the story unfolded.. and i'm starting to become a edgeworth's fan<3

You must be good! I'm still trying to get through the second case about the two sisters.

[Guest v3rmillion]

If you don't mind, could you tell me how to change the skins? For the life of me, I can not figure it out. =x

It somes with a couple default skins (or at leasts mine does), but the default skin is probably easier to read off of.

anyhoos, press B until you're in the main folder (top screen doesn't change anymore)

find "moonshl/" folder, press A to open

find "skin/" folder, open

the default red skin is the "skin.ini" file

there's a blue one in the "org/" folder, also labeled skin.ini

and a waterfall one that's really had to read from in the "Green Waterfall/" folder

just change the skins by opening the skin.ini files

not sure if the version matters, but I'm using v1.71 on DSTT

hope that helps! ^^

[la folie]

You must be good! I'm still trying to get through the second case about the two sisters.

:ph34r:

I was stuck on this chapter for so long that I stopped playing that game for at least two months lol xD Now I'm on the third one.

[Guest Joanne <3]

^ Oh hthe fruits just sit there and do nothing

I finshed all the recipes on Cooking mama 2 but can't remember if anything happened I started playing the wii one but got bored of it cos it was all the same xD

How silly! Reminds me of the instant noodle one where all you do is pour hot water to the line and TA-DA! Gold!

I finally finished Cooking Mama! I got all gold except for one...the sweet tofu. I don't like those where you have to circle the right amount...its hard! But I'm happy I finished, the first game that I beat.

I hate those ones too, so darn annoying! That's why I still can't beat the wonton one. In the practices I sometimes circle the right amount, get confident, do the real thing and then fail all over again.

lol, I spent about 4 hours doing that sweet tofu to get the gold. The circling thing was hard But I FINALLY got the gold after 4 hours.

in cooking mama 2 it's a lot easier

Lol, wow. 4 hours. That's perserverance right there. I usually give up after 20-30 goes... I'm impatient like that. XD

lol it's because I hate waiting to attack. I don't know how to make the gauge go faster... I like automatic battles. hitting someone automatically with a press of a button or slash on the stylus. Why not use the DS to it's potential?? I don't have any loyalty to the classic RPG game interface. My friend likes it, gives him time to "think". Me, i'm impatient.

Now i'm hooked to Phoenix Wright. hehe it gets annoying when i can't figure out something... but that's what "walkthroughs" are for XD

I get annoyed at waiting to attack too, but I think your friend does have a point, it allows you to think. Too bad I don't... haha. Speaking of Phoenix Wright though, I've given up on it for about 2 months... I haven't used any walkthroughs so far, and I'm stuck on the 4th case about Edgeworth. Is that the last?

:ph34r:

I was stuck on this chapter for so long that I stopped playing that game for at least two months lol xD Now I'm on the third one.

Lol, like I mentioned above, I'm stuck on the 4th one and stopped playing it for a long while too. I think I'll go use a walkthrough otherwise I'm never going to find out what to do with the old man and the talking parrot.

[Guest eximius]

Okay, I've got FFIV and I really can't take it seriously... I love Final Fantasy to bits but Square-Enix is just disappointing me with the DS releases.

I don't like the wait time for turns and the graphics really really really really really bug me. In FFIII, everyone was fat and chubby, which I got used to. And now they're all chibi, huge headed, tiny toed people... I couldn't even finish the first battle, I couldn't stand it x___x;

Is the storyline REALLY worth it? :\

And I REALLY hope they release RO in English~

[Guest Take Five]

um, was everyone spoiled by TWEWY or something? doesn't every FF game with the exception of 12 have turn based battles?

[Guest eximius]

I didn't like TWEWY, honestly.

And yeah, they're all turn-based but most of the ones I played wasn't like FFVII where they had a timer bar...thing. It really tests my patience.

[Guest jo3y]

@ Joanne <3

I still haven't gotten gold for the sweet tofu recipe! I try to do it on the practice and a couple of times, I got it all right but when I go to do the actual recipe, I mess up. It's so hard!!!!!

For Ace Attorney, I'm still stuck at chapter two. I think I tried almost everything and it doesn't work.

I stopped playing Professor Layton too after I got stuck on the puzzle about the germs. Eh..I wanna try to figure it out and not use walkthrough.

Anyone wanna give me a hint?
