Unbeliever Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Inquiring minds would like to know! With the release of the 3DS, I was wondering what games for the DS you are stll playing or intend to play, either on the 3DS or the DS Lite/DSi. Any new DS games coming that you intend to buy? Any older games that you just never got to you intend to pick up and play? A more specific question is: Has anyone tried Pokemon Conquest? I've seen some videos of it, but was wondering what the gameplay was like, what it's compared to, is it fun, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RARusk Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" plus a bit of "Uno" now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I am rolling through New Super Mario Bros. right now. About halfway through World 2. It's a fun game, but since I played the Wii one first when it came out, this version isn't coming off as anything special to me. My biggest gripe with it is that you can only save after finishing a castle, not exactly ideal for tiny/short stints of play on-the-go. Still, a good game, naturally. I also have Nanostray 2 here. I had it in the past but barely played it. The visuals are nice, and it's a side-scrolling shmup. Hope to give this a try again soon, after Mario.

Emehr Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The Castlevania thread made me want to play some Dawn of Sorrow so that's what I'm doing. I still need to finish Zelda: Spirit Tracks though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 ADVANCE WARS. ANY FLAVOR. Because I'm still using dinosaur DS Lite (I'm thinking of stockpiling them), I can play all 4 games on one machine. I don't play much handheld anymore, but I go through "spells" now and then, and there's almost always an Advance Wars in there. Also love "Planet Puzzle League." Incredibly addictive, long-forgotten game. If they want me to buy a new system, they're going to have to cough up some Advance Wars and gimmick it up (because that's what they'll be doing) to only play on a 3DS (and up) system. I might actually think about getting suckered, if they did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well, I'm working on Pokemon Black right now...and I think that's going to take me a good long time to finish....but that's okay. Just picked up Keldeon (special mystery gift Pokemon) and haven't even gotten my third badge yet. No rush...I'm just taking my time with it. I figured people still have their DS Lites or DSi's (either regular or XL) and maybe not everyone has taken the 3DS plunge yet. It's all about the games...

Pengwin Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Working my way through Assassins Creed again, one of the best games released for the DS, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonoidTentacle Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Im still chipping my way through Etrian Odyssey. It's a slow grind, but I'm getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Im still chipping my way through Etrian Odyssey. It's a slow grind, but I'm getting there. How is that game? I looked at it but didn't know too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonoidTentacle Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you're used to playing the early RPG's where you do pretty much nothing but grind, you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Been playing a lot of the arcade compilation from Konami in recent weeks. Contra and Road Fighters have seen a lot of play in particular on it. Lots of games on my to buy list but not much unplayed in my collection. I doubt I'll ever get into Metroid Prime Hunters and Kirby Superstar Ultra after two failed attempts that didn't do anything for me for both of them. And I'm stuck in the annoying temple you repeat every once in a while in Phantom Hourglass (and Spirit Tracks sits here unplayed waiting for me to finish Phantom Hourglass eventually). I did have well over a dozen games in my DS backlog a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 If you're used to playing the early RPG's where you do pretty much nothing but grind, you'll love it. Yeah..because in Pokemon, as most Pokemon players know, you need to grind to usually beat the boss of a particular town, unless you were doing that on the way to the boss. So grinding is nothing new. Been doing that since the Final Fantasy 1 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeekZoop Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The World Ends With You is my favorite game on the console and one of my favorite games of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
