Buying a DS with Zelda

[BeauJangles]

My to-buy list:
-Advance Wars (guess I'll be getting it off ebay)
-Final Fantasy
-Yoshi's Island
-Mario Kart

Thanks Piuc2020, I actually registered on that website the other day after stumbling across it!

DO URSELF THE ULTIMATE DS FAVOR,, Google, --R4DS-- , u can get it with a 2gig kingston microsd for total of 75 bux,

Realhotstuff or Extreme deals

Extreme ships from HK so takes a while, slightly cheaper though

Realhotstuff ships from jersey so theres tax in jersey.

I played the new zelda on my flight Monday for about 30 minutes.

It seems pretty damn cool so far. It doesn't take 5 hours to actually get into like the one on Wii did.

However I wish you could control w/the D-pad. My hand keeps getting in the way of the screen when I am moving the stylus around to move. I find myself moving my head to different angles while playing to look under my hand.

Try changing your stylus grip.

I've played about 2 hours of Zelda now. It's really fun. As I said in my previous post, the controls are amazing, the graphics are great, and the plot is typical Zelda fun.

JUst an FYI to you and others reading this thread BlinderBomber, register your Zelda PH game on the http://www.nintendo.com page and after a quick survey, they will send you a feather stylus pen for free!

I've always wondered, what's the benefit for the developers when someone registers their games? Most games are always a bit "pushy" to get you to register but I never really seen what it brings to the developer/publisher.

Just got back from a business trip, and I was using Moonshell to watch various Southpark episodes on the DS - screen is a little small, but works great during flights. You need an M3 or R4 to run homebrew, but they're only $40 or so.

Playing Zelda at the moment, along with Puzzle Quest. Picross is also good if you like puzzle games.

In general, I'm not sure what developers want w/ a simple registration Piuc2020, but w/ Nintendo, you have to take a quick survey which gives them some market research of their buyers.

I just bought a DS yesterday what Zelda are you all talking about? and is it anything like Wind Waker because I hate that game with a passion. I only bought a DS for FF3 and FF1,2,4,5,6 Advance (which I can't find anywhere). It seems all the DS games are Dora the explorer or multiple crap games. I love the machine (got crimson and black) but all I see in the stores is horridly crappy games and good games like Final Fantasy have a big premium (ff6 advance is 50 CDN on amazon).

phoenix wright games are great!

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow is one of the few games I've marathoned because it was so fun leveling up... portrait of sorrow isn't as fun but its alright in its own right

I'm having fun with Scrabble, too bad theres no online play

Zelda Phantom Hourglass is just like Windwaker. Actually its the sequel or next chapter if you prefer.
