Lost Viking Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 That video annoys me. I really want a DS lite now. But I guess it's the same thing that happens all over the place. Ipod did it with the mini and nano and now Nintendo are just improving on a good product. I think I'll just stick with my chunky DS. The one thing that hasn't changed is the best thing about a DS. The gameplay. Even the original DS is better than the PSP. The Lite just rubs that in Sony's face. :-P Hehe, that's funny! Quote
mutley777 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 when the psp first came out alot of reviews said it was a jack of all trades and a master of none. i still think this is true. i buy loads of dvd films, now why would i want to buy the same movie again at a higher price. *wacko* when you can buy a good portable dvd player with a bigger screen for half the price of the psp.

Jipay Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Well the nintendo DS has innovative games, they didn't concentrate on powerfull 3d graphics, even if the machine seems to be able to create miracles (Mariokart, Zelda). i used to have one but there were dead pixels on it and the shop was unable to replace it so I get my money back instead. Seems like I did the right choice considering the arrival of the lite version X-D Quote
Lost Viking Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 You've got to get a lite Jipay! Me and Kikuichimonji can't do 1 on 1's forever! :-P Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Heh, we haven't done that for a while, huh. Yes, everyone with a DS should get Mario Kart so we can all play against each other :-P By the way, is there an American/European release date for it already? Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Some rumours have it placed as before August, with any luck. Quote
Lost Viking Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I am not sure if there is a solid date yet, but I have heard that it is coming out around May... Quote
optimus-convoy Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Hmm... that video plus the fact my current DS has a funky R button mades me want the lite a little more. You've got to get a lite Jipay! Me and Kikuichimonji can't do 1 on 1's forever! If you guys are lonely, I'd be glad to join you. ;-) Quote
Jipay Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I'll join aswell, we could set up a eurobricks animal crossing village (and get a life X-D ) Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Sorry? Get a life? NAH! I don't get animal corssing. It looks very hard to get my head around. And why is it called animal crossing? I've decided I'll probably get a DS Lite and Metroid Prime: Hunters when they come out. Now THAT sounds like an awesome game. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I have the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo. The controls are great, but it just isn't my kind of game, really. It's more a shooter then a 'real' Metroid (do note that I love 'real' Metroid games). Animal Crossing is perfect for me though. I'm in a train for 1.5 hours a day to get from and to University, and AC is one of those games you play for half an hour then quit. Add a lengthy game (Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Pokemon) to you GBA slot, and you're good to go ;-) And even if it weren't for that, I'd still play it a lot. I played the cube version a lot too. But I guess it's just one of those games you have to like :-) Quote

optimus-convoy Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 A release date has been announced! At least for the U.S. anyway... June 11 at the price of $129.99. Mite have to get one sometime. ;-) Quote
gylman Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Wait, I'm confused. Does this version support GBA cartridges? or not? I thought it didn't but the press relesase mentions the GBA cartridge slot. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Australia apparently gets it June 1st. Lucky Phes :-P Quote
