What DS Game should I ask for for my birthday?
« on: August 04, 2009, 02:37:45 PM »
My top choices are Knights in the Nightmare or GTA: Chinatown, the former being likely hard to find, and the latter being likely hard to get my parents to actually let me own. :\

Besides that, Big Bang Mini looks pretty fun, and Chrono Trigger DS has been in my mind for a bit, though considering Sean said he'd let me borrow it, and considering I know most of the bonus content now, there are definitely better choices.

Anyone have any opinions on these?

Ask for money and buy Scribblenauts when it comes out.

This sentimental movie marathon has taught us one thing.

I probably wouldn't buy Scribblenauts even if it was out now.

Considering you're the first person I'd come to for this exact advice, I don't think you'll be too enlightened by this thread. I didn't even know KitN existed until now. Looks cool.

I'll be buying Scribblenauts. Maybe I just won't let you borrow it. :|

Get an R4. Then you have shitloads of decent games you can get, without even really being a pirate either. Plenty of decent homebrew and JP-only (or in my case JP and US only) games out there.

Yeah, that's true. There's a pretty strong homebrew community for the DS. I'll probably get one, one day.

The other alternative is asking for money and buying KH: 3586478/2 Days when it comes out.

I wouldn't say shitty so much as incredibly linear.  They're still fun for the most part.

What is it with you and either buying garbage or being too retarded to get stuff to work?

GTO.

I keep telling you I suck at technology, and you dont' seem to believe me.   Except in this case, I've actually tried to learn how to use it.  I think I'll just get an R4 sometime.

And yes.

Get an R4.

This gave me a good laugh.

Also, Knights in the Nightmare would probably be your best choice.  I only played a little bit of it so far, but it seems promising.  And it has awesome music.  Also, the Atlus name makes everything awesome.

Okay, so I'm apparently too late anyway.  GTA is good too.

bought GTA, and the idea is to buy both knights in the nightmare and bangai-o at a later date. tell me what you think of knights in the nightmare when you're farther through it.

Thought it might. Farther is still a word, but I never really see it used.
