Short DS rant
 

I've been playing this a fair bit lately because my brother can't open his Wii for 2 more days. A few notes on my experience with his games that I hadn't played before:

1) Can anyone get BrainAge to recognize the word "Blue?" I swear I've tried everything and it just doesn't work. Not even the Japanese pronunciation "Brue"

2) Splinter Cell is veeerrry jerky and sucks.

3) For some reason I was very sure that the DS would play GBC games, and was very disappointed when his old Pokemon games didn't work.

4) I need more games because I'm getting bored [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

1. Yes (and no japanese pronunciation).

How are you saying it? I've tried "bloo" "bah-loo" "bloooooo" and it doesn't pick up anything. Every other color is fine, just blue.

Re: Short DS rant
 

Too funny on the blooooo thing. Once I mom came to visit and was playing brain age on my gf's DS. Alls I remember is her sitting at the table for the longest time going: "Blooooo... bluuuueeee... blewwwwwww" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Bloo, i think.

Have you looked into these monsters?

Mario Kart DS (obv choice, online multiplayer exponentially adds to the awesomeness)
Tetris DS (robust single player, first tetris AI to give me trouble, and ultra competitive online multi player)
New Super Mario Brothers Enough said.
Castlevania games.
Advanced Wars
Elite Beat Agents

Re: Short DS rant
 

OP, unless you have played the Castlevania games before, I wouldn't recommend it. I bought Portrait of Ruin last week based on the GameStop dude's suggestion, but having never played before, I don't really understand the game lineage and it seems to be rather tough to understand and solve. I've reached a point where I think I'm going to have to look up how to get past a certain part... its a rather complex game.

Then again, maybe I'm just a primitive gamer. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

you dont have to talk very loud when you do the stroop test on brain age. once i calmed down and didnt speak so loudly it recognized in just fine. i gave up on the voice calculation test though, it can never recognize "six" when i say it

im pretty good at everything except low to high, the most ive ever gotten on there is 57 points, and that was almost luck i think. head count on hard mode was insane at first but now i can usually get 5/5

Re: Short DS rant
 

oh man, i had my gf laughing her ass off the first time i played brain age. i musta said "blue" twenty times every different way i could think of. but it recognized her voice fine [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Final Fantasy 3 will keep you busy for a while.

Got 'em all. Beaten the Marios, and taking a break from Tetris.

Final Fantasy 3 sounds like a fun option though.

If you liked Advance Wars (definately a great game), you should get Age of Empires

Re: Short DS rant
 

All,

FFIII is a lot of fun (I've never played a FF game before) but annoying as hell because I didn't save and when I died the game reset.

kick,

not good enough to challenge anyone to online play.

Re: Short DS rant
 

Trauma Center is ridiculously fun.

wait, just to make sure: if you buy this thing you can download a rom of any DS/GBA game and play it on your DS?

Probably some newbish questions but I couldn't really find the answer on the webpage. How many roms could you store on that? Do you have to keep downloading them then deleting them to play others? I was probably getting a DS anyway but this pretty much seals the deal.

this man knows what hes talking about. But then again, if you have a wii, you might wanna try out that version instead.

Re: Short DS rant
 

I bought a ds a couple months ago and play it all the time. I kill at mario kart. I really enjoy metroid prime hunters. I've got mega man zx which is so so. I own final fantasy III but have yet to even play it. I was thinking about buying brain, I thought it might actually improve my poker play in some strange way, but after hearing all the complaints I think I'll pass. However a new zelda comes out on march first which I am stoked for. Anyone with mario kart should def. pm message me and we'll set up a 2+2 mario kart session.

Re: Short DS rant
 

ps: has anyone played the bomberman games for ds. I used to love it on the nes and I can see this being an awesome wifi game.
