Oh, you don't know. See, if you have a premarrital relationship -your penis falls off. DS will save you of that doom. Until you get bored of if....then your on your own to keep your bits and pieces attatched to the rest of your body.

Just get a DS. You shouldn't be worried about being laid at age 14 seeing as you are underage and it is illegal for you do have sex.

Worry about sex later on in your life, you do not need it now or you'll be just like all of the other teen stereotypes that have sex at an early age, which gives other responsible teenagers a bad image.

You should just get one  :em-29: I LOVE mine and can't live without it now.  There are SOOOOOOOOOOOo many great games, some mentioned above.  Mario Kart is amazing and so funny when you're playing with friends.  My all time favorite is Animal Crossing. 
There are so many times when you can play on your DS when you can't play on your Wii or PS3, etc.
In bed.  It's the best little hand held consule ever  :em-29: :em-29: :em-29: :em-29: :em-29: :em-29: :em-29:

you should get a DS. It's great for anytime you feel like playing a game! Just pick it up and go! If you have friends with DS's, multiplayer is awesome, if not wi-fi is great. Picto-chat can be hillarious with friends, and sometimes, I just use it to doodle.

I recommend:

- Mario Kart DS
- Animal Crossing
- Metroid Prime Hunters
- New Super Mario Bros
- Wario Ware Touched

Wow meridianblade, seems like you downloaded the sets at a time since you have each region. I on the other hand only have half the size of a list.

Here's some games I suggest, not in any order:
Advanced Wars: Dual Strike
Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow
Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin
Children Of Mana
Diddy Kong Racing DS (WiFi)
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Final Fantasy III
Lost In Blue
Metroid Prime Hunters
New Super Mario Bros.
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All
Super Mario Kart DS (WiFi)
Tetris DS (WiFi)
Trauma Center Under The Knife
Kirby Squeak Squad
Club House Games (WiFi)
Hotel Dusk Room 215
Lunar Knights
Mario And Luigi Partners In Time
Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (WiFi)

* (WiFi) are obviously through the WFC, but are my favorite online games.

Technically, I have around 700 "backups" since I have (E),(U), and (J) region files, but I cleared out most of the (J) regions and some (U) since I have no need for Japanese games, leaving me with 400 some files ;-)

Oh and I have a full length rip of Dumb and Dumber on my DS :-D


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: iimawii™ on February 10, 2007, 02:37:37 PM
The main reason I only have around 200 is because that I get each game individually, only picking up the ones that I would want to play and not having a (U) & (E) version of the game. But as I see your screen shot you have Barbie!? and some other games that I would never insist on getting.
... but I cleared out most of the (J) regions ... since I have no need for Japanese games...
What? There are some really good JPN games. I probably only have around 40 Japanese games for the DS, but on the PSP I have 70% of them. Daisenryaku is a far better game than Advance Wars is a good example of how the Japanese rule us all.

Getting a Ds is a very good idea.  Best handheld ever.


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: meridianblade on February 10, 2007, 04:54:43 PM
Yea the original zip was over 4.5GBs and uncompressed around 12GBs! Oh I know there's some great DS games in Japan, but if I cant read it, I wont play it :-P

Goodness that's some awesome homebrew skills.

I must say, DS is just king of any hand-held right now. Some of the games are so good and fun, you might forget about your home-consoles for a while!

Recommendations:
The Phoenix Wright games
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Tetris DS
Both Castlevanias
Clubhouse Games

I agree with Balisong, except for one thing.  Metroid Prime Hunters.  If you are a Metroid nut, but not a Wi-Fi enthusiest, you should steer clear of this game.  This game is good for Wi-Fi, but horrible for a single player adventure.  It has none of the classic Metroid brilliance that has made the Metroid series my favorite collection of video games ever.

ya, i heard from a lot of ppl that MP ds single player sucks!


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: Balisong on February 16, 2007, 08:35:09 PM
I do agree about the single player... it feels very empty compared to other metroid games.

However, with the stylus instead of an analog stick, I feel the controls are much smoother and more accurate to your own tastes, so I must say I like Hunters over the other Prime games for this reason. It makes it very much a "Must-Own" game if you enjoy Wi-Fi play.

Post by: iimawii™ on February 16, 2007, 09:05:09 PM
I just started to try and play MP Hunters and I can't get use to the stylus. I'm going to try tonight to make a ghetto thumb stylus because I'm left handed and can't hold the stylus and push the d pad. Hopefully my right thumb will be alright at aiming and such, otherwise I will just absolutely suck at this game.

Meridian Where did you get your PassMe cartridge (if it is PassMe).


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: MysticGohan on February 17, 2007, 07:03:45 PM
whats a passme cartridge


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: Elecom on February 17, 2007, 07:40:49 PM
PassMe Is a game cartridge where you can download .nds roms onto. so you can play without paying (fun and cheap). And it's even WiFi Compatable. There are different Types of PassMe, Some for Lite and some for regular. I'm getting one called M3 where you can Download videos and Games. Meridian has one because you can tell by the mini SD in it.


Title: Re: i am thinking about getting a ds!
Post by: iimawii™ on February 17, 2007, 08:26:44 PM
Actually a PassMe device is a cartridge that resembles a DS game and can be used instead of flashing. Once it is inserted into the DS slot, it enables you to run unassigned code through the gba slot. The passme only worked with version 3 or below. Newer ones are called NoPass which has actual encrypted DS game code, and it doesn't matter on what firmware your DS has.

NoPass Devices:
SuperKey which I own
Max Media Launcher
EZPass3
and more

GBA Flashcart:
SuperCard Lite, SD, miniSD
M3
G6, G6 Lite
and more

GBA flashcarts is where the homebrew, games, music, video is stored on. You can either get one that has built in memory, very tricky to an average person because they show the memory like this 4Gb, which is not 4 gigabytes but rather 4 gigabits. Or others that have a slot into the cartridge that can support SD, miniSD, MicroSD, etc. They are even never ways for example using the DS-Xtreme which fits flush into the slot 1 (DS), has built 4Gb, and doens't require anything else. Or  just as the regular gba flashcarts if 4Gb isn't enough space, there are some where you can use a microSD card. The upside to having a slot 1 solution is that all, at least the ones I know, don't require patched roms. The downside is only using the slot 1 solution you don't have gba support.
