[DS] Nintendo DS/Lite discussion thread

Baby Luigi, Baby Toad, Baby Daisy, and Baby WaLuigi didn't make the cut it would seem.

Also, this game is either going to be the best game ever or the biggest let-down ever. Come on Artoon! You will not be forgiven if you mess this up.

Besides taping it together, is there any way to fix a broken screen hinge like this, or should I just plan on buying a DS Lite ASAP...maybe when the pretty new colors come out? My system still works, but the top screen wobbles around a lot, and it looks like it's probably going to fall off completely if it gets bumped again.

No offense to anyone, but I am a bit disappointed in the durability of the DS systems. The shoulder buttons on my first DS quit working after about a week, and, while I'm not angry about this one breaking (I did drop it, after all), I am a bit disappointed...it seems like anything that's portable should be able to stand falling three feet onto carpet.

The DS' clamshell design takes quite a bit more beating than PSP's design. That's for sure. No offence but maybe you should not drop your systems ya clumsy bastard. Seriously though, go call up Nintendo's customer service and they should be able to fix your DS good as new. You might still be under warranty and get it fixed or exchanged for free. I've heard of plenty of people that were out of their warranty and still got theirs fixed for free. But hell, you might as well just go get a DSlite though. Black and Pink are coming out pretty soon.

Just messing with ya, dude.

Seriously, go give Nintendo a call. See what they can do for you first. Their customer service is the best out of all videogame companies. Trust me. You may get a new DS for free. Others out of warranty have in the past.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmmm... well I guess you should go with KnowsNothing's suggestion then. I've heard they're pretty good over the phone. Oh well.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Personally, I'd just wait a bit and buy a black or pink DSlite if that's what you want. I got a white DSlite at launch and there's no going back. The screen really is that much better.

I still have my old DS though. Just in case it's needed for multiplayer. You never know.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was thinking of buying it based on that terrific boxart alone. Collector's piece for sure! =)

FELIPE NO

That's awesome news, dude, but I'd prefer if you talked about it in the following thread:

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

OP, they most likely will not release 4 out here before they make a remake of 3 and release it out here. I'm not even sure if Phoenix is even in the fourth game so I wonder if they'll just rename it.

How ya doing, buddy?

One thing to consider, Yuna, is that the white can show dirt more easily than black. However, I've had my white DS lite since launch and it seems fine. It has a few dirt smudges here and there but in the end as long as it can play games and isn't broken I don't mind. I honestly say go with whatever color you like and if it gets dirty then so be it. Just take a clothe and apply a little elbow grease if it matters to you. =)

That or you could get some sort of clear protective cover/case like Vemp here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well on irc.xelium.net you can join #nwifi and some people might be on it. I haven't been there in a while but that's where most gff folks who wanted to play online ds games hung out. A good deal are also #xblive crew so you could visit there as well. And of course someone on #gff might want to play so you can give that a try. We all tend to keep our DS friend codes in the thread in the multiplayer subforum so go take a look at that.

Woah, just a suggestion since I haven't bee in #nwifi in months and I don't know if it's dead or not. I do know that #xblive is always kicking and has folks who do play DS games online so the possibility is there. Just sayin'.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, I was a bit surprised there aren't as many N64 ports for this thing as well. I guess the closest thing would be maybe the port of Resident Evil since it was an N64/PSX era game.

There are already like 5 Harvest Moon games on the DS. Enough.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yes, and they're fine where they are. Not like Natsume cares enough. They'll just pump out whatever boy/girl edition THIS TIME YOU CAN BREED DOGS. MILK A GOAT. KAWAII HAPPENINGS AT THE BAR. JESUS CHRIST YOUR HEAD IS HUGE. I WISH THIS ENTIRE GAME TOOK PLACE IN THE HOT SPRING. HARVEST MOON: FRIENDS OF SITTING IN THE HOT SPRING ALL DAY TOWN. SIXTY DOLLARS PLEASE. I'LL BE BACK AGAIN NEXT MONTH FOR THE SEQUEL. SQUIRREL FISHING. THE GODDESS HAS LOST ALL HER GOLDEN ACORNS. GET THOSE SQUIRRELS. THE TINY DWARFS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. HERE ARE TOOLS. PLOW UNTIL YOU GET A REALLY BORING CUTSCENE. WHY DO I HAVE THREE CHILDREN. I ONLY GOT A COW YESTERDAY. GET IN THE TIME MACHINE, JACK. YOU'VE GOT A FUTURE TO RESCUE. PUSH YOUR DATE OFF THE CLIFF. IT'S THE ONLY WAY.

FELIPE NO

Excellent! The DS could always use more quality.
