The DS lite is awesome...got mario kart and final fantasy 3..pretty hot. My wife and I are big fans of action/adventure rpg games...anything other than mana that is along those lines? since it was an out of the box ds we have no instructions or anything...what else can the ds do other than wifi, chat and advance/ds games?

 

Dunno about the rest off hand. Go go FFIII though, I'm 20 hours or so into it.

Playing Tetris by yourself is boring but... playing Tetris online is soooo much fun!!!

 

you must have a lot of free time to be playing all these new games for all these platforms

 

You da man!!! Thanx! Reps for you!!!! And yes, ff3 is just hotness. I played the original years ago and this is a totally new experience!!!

bz268, yeah, tetris by yourself is very boring very quickly, but soething about wifi or online competition really changes the pace...isn't there also a super puzzle fighter 2 turbo for the ds? And yes, I have lots of free time for now...just bought a house, got a promotion at one job, and doing great at the other...so everything's kinda in limbo until we go thru settlement...I have another month or so of mostly free evenings...if my car wasn't in the shop, i'd set up a meet!

 

If you buy a flashcart the possibilities are endless... If you are interested I know a great place where you can get a flashcart for really cheap...

 

sounds cool, bt what exactly is a flashcart? do you need it for multiplayer?

 

My kid plays Mario Kart like crazy, but he's not getting into Diddy Kong Racing.

 

yeah, mario kart is awesome, but even though diidy kong is like the same thing, it's not as fun..

 

A flashcartridge is something where you can basically download roms off the internet and play them on your ds. Search the internet for something for called R4DS.

 

Are you interested in the following:

Downloading games for free
Never having to switch cartridges between games
Listen to mp3's
Watch movies*
Read txt. base books
View pics
Surf the Internet*
and use tons of different homebrew games


Well, if all that sounds interesting than a flashcart is for use. It is pretty much a device, for your DS in particular, that allows you to do those following and more. I have an R4 and its great, I like to store all my games on one memory stick so I don't have a bunch of cartridges to carry around and it makes gaming really convenient. Anyways, like I said I know a great place where you can get an R4 for like $30 bucks and all you would need is a micro-sd card and your all set to go...

 

well...I amd own with all of the above. I didn't know the DS is capable of all that. I thought it was PSP territory...where would the micro sd card go on the psp?

 

Ummm I was referring to the DS R4...

 

sorry...lol...i actually DID mean the DS...psp on the brain...I want the new god of war!
