DS game

[saki]

Hello

Does anyone know any good/fun nintendo DS game?!?
I tend to get bored of games easily...

 

[ShinigamiMommy]

What types do you like to play? I'm a huge gamer and collector so I can give you good recommendations.

 

[saki]

Um I've always like the game "final fantasy"

Oh I have a question about one game called The Sim on DS... do you know anything about it?!?

 

[ShinigamiMommy]

Try Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate, Dragon Quest Heroes, Final Fantasy XII: Revnant Wings, Harvest Moon DS, The World Ends With You, and The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass.

The Sims DS is like the PC version of the Sims, just not as good. If you're looking for a "Sims" type game I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Animal Crossing: Wild World. Actually, I recommend it no matter what you like. It'll be your addiction.

I have Final fantasy III on DS
Thinking of getting the Final fantasy XII
I have Animal crossing and it just repetitive and it's boring now...
What is Wild world like?!?
I think I should get a game which would use my head more...(Difficult game)

 

[ShinigamiMommy]

Well Wild World is like the original Animal Crossing but they worked out a few issues and made some new things.

If you want a challenge, go for Etrian Odyssey, Brain Age 2, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy Tactics (Not sure if its out yet but it's coming out soon), Picross DS, and throw in Tetris DS because that's a classic. I see you're into the RPG and stratedgy games, correct?

 

[saki]

Yea I think I'm into RPG and Stratedgy games.
I love Tetris~!!

Why do you know so much about DS games?!?

Oh I have a question, does shops sells DS batteries?!? Mine isn't low because I haven't been using DS for a long time now, but just wondering...

 

[ShinigamiMommy]

I think I saw Meijers or Target with replacements batteries for a DS.

And I'm a huge gamer since I was born, my boyfriend works at Game Stop and has done developing for Nintendo. We're big into video games. =]

 

[saki]

That's cool~!!
You probably get cheap games then~!!

DS games are so expensive here... but I get bored of the games so easily so I end up wasting my money by buying games...

 

[Breetai]

Isn't Final Fantasy IV coming out soon in English?

Get some of the Dragon Quest games if there are any where you live.

 

[ShinigamiMommy]

Buy used games from GameStop. They're all tested and in very good condition. That's if you want to save a few bucks.

Are you from Australia? I pity you... you guys get ripped off on games.

Here is a good idea for you: buy your games online and order them (if you have a credit card!). I use www.play-asia.com. DS games are region-free, meaning that games from ANY country will work on them. I know that play-asia.com sells games from Japan, Hong Kong and the US. I assume that it has PAL games as well. The prices are normal prices, like around AU$30-45 per game. Give it a try!

I live in Australia, but I'm Japanese and I'm probably going to Japan in October so I think I will buy few games over there! I can't wait to go to Japan and go shopping~!!

The second hand games are still pretty expensive here!
I bought a game on the weekend and it was sooo boring so I return it and got my money back.
I don't really trust internet shopping so I never bought anything online before...

But the games has gotten a lot cheaper than it used to, but I just get bored of the games so easily so maybe I should start renting games. (I usually get bored of the game in like few days or in a week time and never play it again so it is basically wasting money for me...)

There are tons of used DS games here, but make sure the game you want doesn't use much text... unless you know Japanese.

What do you mean by "I'm Japanese"? Are you a Japanese national? Are you Australian, but your parents, grandparents, etc. came from Japan?

I don't really trust internet shopping so I never bought anything online before...

The site I recommended to you is fine. I've used it before. Internet shopping is really no different than buying something over the phone or by mail order.

Yep I know there is heaps of used games over there and it is very cheap!

I'm not Australian, I'm Japanese. My both Parents are Japanese, I was born in Japan. My brother, mum and I moved to Australia 15yrs ago!
We still go back to Japan now and then, but I haven't gone back to Japan for hmm, almost 5yrs because I was busy with studying/working etc...

Pokemon D/P are pretty good, and aren't so much of a giant sells gimmick like other Pokemon games. I second Phoenix Wright if you want more puzzle/story-line type games.

 

[saki]

I bought a new game yesterday~!! I bought "Final Fantasy - Ring of fates"

Thinking of buying Final fantasy XII on DS next week~!!

 

[The Theory]

I highly recommend Puzzle Quest. It is an RPG where the battles are based around a bejeweled set-up. Highly addicting (as bejeweled is the most addicting casual puzzle game ever, and RPGs, by their nature, tend to be fairly addicting). Really fun.

Available on most systems, but the DS is the perfect system for it due to the touch screen/stylus set up.

I think I've played jewel quest before, is puzzle quest similar?!? I have similar to jewel quest on my mobile and I enjoy playing with it when I'm bored.
