Topic: What are you playing on DS(i)(Ware)? (2023 Edition)

The 3DS forum has this thread going on right now.

I was just curious what everyone is up to on their DS(i)(Ware)?

I've got a 2DS, but it does not fit in my pocket. So when I want more portability . . . I still use our DS.

Right now, I have been playing Lego Star Wars The Original Trilogy and Namco Museum.

What is everyone else up to?

Nothing at the moment, but I recently played Hotel Dusk and also returned to the original Mario vs Donkey Kong via GBA compatibility on DS Lite.

@Dogorilla

I had to look up Hotel Dusk. I wasn't familiar with that game. Any good?

RE: Mario vs Donkey Kong GBA . . . I had a chance to pick up that game back when we first got our DS, but didn't. I was concentrating on DS games at the time. I kinda regret not picking it up when I had the chance.

@NintendoDad Yeah, Hotel Dusk is worth a look if you like detective stories - it can be a bit obtuse (though not as bad as some point and click adventure games) and not all the plot points are wrapped up neatly (there is a sequel which presumably continues the main ones), but it's very stylish and the characters are fun.

You can probably still find Mario vs DK for a reasonable price. It gets a bit overlooked because it's so different to its sequels (it has much more in common with the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong) but it's a good game in its own right.

@Dogorilla

I'll have to keep my eyes out for Hotel Dusk.

RE: Mario vs DK GBA . . . I might keep my eyes out for that one too, because of the different controls.

I did enjoy Mario vs DK Mini-Land Mayhem! I completely finished the normal levels of the game, but only played a few of the Plus levels. And I downloaded Mario vs DK Minis March Again from the eShop for my 2DS before Nintendo shut down the eShop, which I haven't finished that either. LOL.

@NintendoDad Other than the first game and the free amiibo game I haven't actually played much of the Mario vs DK series yet, but I also bought Minis March Again as well as the 3DS one (Minis on the Move? The titles are all so similar I forget which is which) before the eShop closed. Didn't bother with Tipping Stars as it was twice the price of the others and the online level sharing is defunct now.

@Dogorilla

The one I've got on my 2DS is the Minis March Again. I am assuming because it was cheap. LOL.

I just started it up again, and I had most of level 1 finished . . . so I just finished that off last night.

I'm thinking that when I don't have a lot of time, I might squeeze in rounds of MMA and slowly inch my way to the finish line. LOL.

And when I have a bit more time, then play OOT, Lego Star Wars (DS) and Galaga on the Namco Museum.
