[DS] Nintendo DS/Lite discussion thread

Well aren't you a snappy little troll now.

Seriously Merv, chill. I would expect more maturity from someone like you. You keep sinking to the same levels as the fanboys you so openly want to detest. Discuss the product or get out of the god damn thread. And don't give that "oh but I guess I'm not allowed to say bad things about Nintendo!". Of course you are. But then why would you bother? The product apparently holds no value to you.

And if you bother (which is fine), why shouldn't people reply to you? But instead of replying with a proper argument of your own, you start calling them names. At least this is the pattern I've been seeing as of late. So, is Crash giving you a hard time at home cause you're younger or something?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

why are you here

Most amazing jew boots

So Merv is trolling, but Akai-chan is totally cool. It's nonsense.

Who the hell said anything about Akai-whatever being cool? I'm replying to Merv here =/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I would have thought it's "Discuss the topic, not the people".

I as referring a bit back as Merv was responding to surashu.
If you paid attention, you might notice I haven't posted in this thread even once. I only posted in reply to Merv's action, as I feel he should know better.

Now, you didn't answer my question.

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

Honestly, I am just trying to figure out what drives you to come here even though you seem to hate it so much.
You're still allowed to say bad things about Nintendo, no one's denying you of that =/

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, you say stuff like this so I felt as a mod I should assure you that's not the case. But since you're already aware of this, there should be no problem then.

I don't know where you got this personal attack thing, I was just asking. Everyone seems to intent on avoiding my questions these days =/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Why on earth would I try to piss you off? The last thing I want is you getting angry at someone in this thread again =/

Seriously, just chill. You don't want a Lite, good. I don't see how that makes other people who want one idiots, even ones who own the previous DS. Just the fact that the thing is smaller and apparently has better battery life seems enough to make people want one.

FELIPE NO

Since I don't own a DS yet but will need to get one for Children of Mana (among other titles that are already out), I want to try the Lite myself. It seems too small for my hands, but I can only make sure by holding it.

Otherwise what little new features there are seem tempting as the two will cost pretty much the same over here (meaning the old DS probably won't drop in price much). The apparently better battery life and backlight will be worth the extra cost for me, but only if the damn thing isn't too small.

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

Where did you get that awesome see-through bottom for it? =o

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Great. Now can we get some Summon Night over here in Europe as well, please?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Advance Wars Dual Strike is an absolute must. I'm sure you'd enjoy Meteos and Puzzle Quest too.

The rest I'd suggest are more regular game like and, while fun in short bursts, should be played over longer periods.

Though you could get GBA Wario Ware since it's cart condenced brilliance.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well if you can't stand the other games (what's wrong with you), you wouldn't enjoy Dual Strike. It is still glorified chess with cute graphics. That is not a "just", but whatever.

I guess I went with how the game is perfect for a portable, being easy to approach, turn-based and offering depth and play-modes worth of four games.

Tell me about it. I did terribly with AW1's campaign, barely finished it.

After years of break from Advance Wars, I picked up Dual Strike (and fell in love so badly) and I've gone through the campaign slowly, retrying each stage till I S-rank it and only then move on.

At first I only went for perfect S-ranks, till later I figured I'd have to settle for any score as long as it gives an S-rank or I would go crazy. Now I can't get past Pincer Attack

I managed to S-rank Money Survival and Move Survival, but I can't even finish Time Survival, no matter how fast I tried to be with moving.

How ya doing, buddy?
