DS "Must Buy" Games

[Po]

First of all, I have no idea what "Kingshit" means, but I assume it means good.
And really this is turning into a broken record... NSMB, either of the Castlevanias, Elite Beat Agents - which holy shit I played for the first time last night and it is unbelievably fun.
I still cannot quite get the timing down on tapping, when exactly am I supposed to tap it. But overall it is just awesome.

I should have never fucking ordered the cheapest mini SD card. This is pissing me off to no end. I have EVERYTHING for my DS EXCEPT the fucking SD card. Fuck BlueProton, fuck 'em! Gah. I sent them hate mail, asking them to either, provide me with an adequate excuse as to why I haven't received the product yet, or promptly return my funds and allow me to take my business elsewhere. Telling a buyer they will receive the product within 3-7 days after placing the order and never receiving information about it again even on the 11th day after placing the order is fucked up.

Magus,
Go to CompUSA right now and buy another one. When you get yours from blueboner just send it back and return it, done and done.
Problem solved.

When I got mine from newegg they sent it in such an obnoxiously large, nondiscript box I couldn't help but laugh for a few minutes when i finally got back to my room and found a little box the size of my credit card inside it. It was fun for me God, I'm easily amused...

@yayaok: Don't know what kind of games you're into particularly but good luck on finding a good one. The main problem I have with my DS is most of the games with a storyline/plot are rather short with little to no replay value. Most of the others, while fun, are borderline rental status once the novelty of a new game wears off. For example, I like trauma center and the pheonix wright games, they're fun for sure, but I can't really imagine myself playing them a second time. Which isn't such an overly large issue if you're okay with renting games from a bluckbuster or gamefly type of deal. But if you've only got enough money for one game for quite a while I'd suggest you steer clear of most of the games with plot lines.

I'd suggest a game like Advance Wars, where at the very least once you're done with the story there's enough units/commanders that you can amuse yourself for hours with the battle mode after it's finished. Or a game like Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Club House Games, etc. that are all gameplay and you can hopefully play with people online. At least until you can afford to play the other stuff that's worth playing but maybe not so much if you're going to be stuck with one game for a significant period of time.

Strangely, I find myself playing Brain Age the most of all the games I have for my DS ._. Speaking of which, if you like Sudoku the Brain Age version of it is done soooooooo much better than the Sudoku Mania game it's not even funny.

[evilbau]

Sudoku Gridmaster is my favorite sudoku on DS. I really didn't like Sudoku mania (played only a couple) and the Brain Age one I didn't like zooming in and writing the number. Its much harder to solve as fast as possible.

I recommend Gridmaster.

[Panella]

Gridmaster? Haven't heard of that, I'll have to try it.

You can have fun with New Super Mario Bros. for a long time. It is a fairly long game as far as Mario games go. And there is unlockable/collectible stuff to go for as well.

[Doombear]

lol its funny how the M3 v. SC thing is like another console war, lmao

Wait wait, dun forget about my and my DSX!! It finally showed up yesterday, and i am quite happy with it. Easy, clean, and 99% compatibility (from what i can tell, 100% compatibility personally so far.)

And that Guitar M-06 is a wrist breaker... but it is fun.

Lol Grae, no one cares about your N-Gage of a DS emulator lol

Anyone else play Elite Beat Agents?

i've only got Oendan ¬_¬

cheesy but still fun

edit: btw still no luck on importing PKMN Pearl to UK, all the UK shops release it in june, and all the non-UK sites won't deliver to UK /cry apart from this one site that says it could take up to 5 weeks to deliver, which in my view is not worth it ¬_¬

[Po]

Did you try toysnjoys.com?

[Maguspk]

Wow so they finally responded my emails.

They give me a tracking number and link me to the USPS site (United states Postal Service). The US postal service fucked up or something, they said it was delivered on the 24th but I never got my item. So what's the natural thing you do when you find out the Postal Service says something is delivered and it wasn't? I call them.

Hmmm the number on the website is a fax machine, oh sweet high pitch buzz in my ear, you've solved all my questions. Fuck the US postal service, fuck them. What are the odds my package would be "lost" and now I have nothing except -45 bucks? This is fucking bullshit... Also, how am I supposed to get a refund when I don't even have the item to prove I got it or something... this is really retarded. I am going to go down to the Post Office and seriously bitch until I get answers. There is no reason why I shouldn't have gotten that package, the whole point of me buying from seperate people was to save money, but if I have to buy a second SD card that means I could've just gotten the SDLite package Po posted earlier and gotten it 100% guaranteed with everything I needed, and with GBA compatibility to boot. Words cannot express how angry I am at the USPS right now... I've never had a problem with online shipping but seriously... this is bullshit.

[Po]

/comfort again Magus.
Before you flip out on the Postal Service (remember they are the fed. government) I would check the blueproton site. I am sure there is something, somewhere on their site that is in regards to mail being lost en route.
And they showed you the tracking number, so they obviously have the information as well. They would contact the post office and determine the package has been lost on the way. That obviously is not your fault so you would get a refund to your credit card I would assume. Check for that bro.

[Maguspk]

lol, it just took my university a day. I was looking in the wrong place though. The package was so small (lol@ Panella, so right, it's soooo small) that they didn't do the standard rule with packages, they sent it straight to my mailbox lol. So when I went to get dinner my roommate was like, dude you got mail lol, and gave me the package with a blue proton on it. Of course I had to keep my cool and maintain my aura of awesome, so I cooly took it from him and said, "are you kidding me, psh, about time." Damn I'm badass, but inside I was like SHAZAM. (oh god I quoted Dane Cook, kill me). TIME TO GET ON JUS OMFG.

[Helpoemer]

Did you try toysnjoys.com?

that's the one that said it would take up to 5 weeks to deliver lol (unless there's good reports from people that it was fast, i don't see it being worthwhile having my money gone for a month and nothing to show for it)

[evilbau]

I deal with USPS in my work and i can say that sometimes delivered on their tracking pages means to your local post office. Depending on which options your package was mailed with (class, delivery confirmations, etc.), that may be the last point at which your package is trackable. If it says it was delivered on a certain day, give it 1 or 2 more days and check if you have a delivery attempt card in your mail (if it requires signature)

edit: lol too late you got your package

[Miltani]

Eh my question would be why are you all ordering online when you guys can just head to a computer shop area to get your sd cards

[Maguspk]

I don't want to drive for that, waste of gas, precious enviroment well being etc. And too strenuous for a bike ride.

But more importantly, what does it mean on my SD package "Static free enviroment". I have to be grounded or something when I do this, or is that a stupid warning I should disregard, I don't want to fry my mini SD just after getting it...

[evilbau]

I hope you mean microSD and not mini... and you don't have to worry about it really, same as dealing with other flash cards. don't touch the leads and you don't have to worry

[Maguspk]

That's the shiny metallic part right?
