Topic: DS Recommendations Thread

Alright, yeah I saw Gamestop's prices and, bleh... xD
Alright, decided to nab V on Amazon, they had some "super saver shipping" thing going on, so I'm getting it tomorrow. xD

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies or Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light?

...you say that like they don't always have Super Saver Shipping.:/

@Gamesake

Of course you had to ask the hardest question. I guess I'd suggest Dragon Quest IX, simply because it has more content.

lol well I don't buy from them often, so yeah...xD

DQIX. It has way more content than FF.

I think i'm going to get Lufia II: Curse of the Sinistrals. Anyone have any thoughts on that game?

pokemon heartgold/soulsilver or black/white

@ZeroX I don't own either but I would have to say Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver.
Mainly for the Pokewalker, having a Pokemon follow behind you and it's a remake of the Johto and Kanto regions.

Have you played the SNES version?

Can anyone recommended some good quality shmups for the DS aside from the Nano Stray games? Difficulty is no problem with me as long as it's not incredibly unfair.

@ZeroX It depends. If you haven't played the original Gold/Silver, I'd say go with the remakes, since they're still my favorite games in the series and it has the largest quest. But if you have played them, I'd say go with Black/White; they're the freshest entries the series has had since, well, Gold/Silver.

@Retro_on_theGo Retro Game Challenge has a few old-school style schmups that I found pretty fun. Plus the rest of the game is pretty enjoyable too (I love me some Haggle Man).

No, I hadn't heard of the series until I saw an article in Nintendo Power about this DS remake.

I also haven't played Lufia on the SNES, and yet it was one of the first games on my DS. A good, although a bit on the short side t, action RPG, which will entertain you until you finish the story, and nothing more. (:

Yeah, it's good so long as you don't have any nostalgia to mess up for you.

It's also your only option.

Yeah, there really aren't a whole lot of choices on the schmup front, although I've heard good things about the Space Invaders Extreme games. And Kirby Mass Attack has a pretty fun unlockable schmup sub-game that lasts for a cup of coffee.

Ah.
Well thanks guys.

Your name requires you to get Retro Game Challenge.

Space Invaders Extreme is apparently awesome too.

Any reason to get Tetris Party Deluxe if I already have Tetris DS, Tetris Axis and Tetris Party Live does Tetris Party Deluxe have any mode the other 3 Tetris games don't that will make it worth getting?

...You must really like Tetris. O_o

I've been playing Glory of Heracles for the past couple days now and I see how it didn't get that much praise but it is still a fun rpg. It is pretty generic and the story isn't the greatest but the Greek setting is a nice change from the normal. Overall i'd give it a 7/10 right now, but I still recommend it to any classic rpg fan.
