Just bought a DS Lite

[Sir SpankalotUK]

Got animal crossing wild world (which is quite good and laid back type lazy game) and the new super mario.

Must admit the build quality of the unit is quite impressive.

Has anyone got AC:WW and want to trade friends codes? Can anyone recommend any games?

[charmed699]

I got a DS lite too mate and animal crossing but not sure if my town is dead by now , havent played it since Summer .

You got to get Phoenix Wright for £13 from woolworth online , its one of my favorite ds games , no objections .

If you want wifi games nothing better than a mario kart race or maybe metroid prime hunters.

Sonic rush is really cool if you liked new super mario bros , and know what , I got a free copy of new super mario bros signed by the man who does the mario voiceovers . So now I got two games . ^_^

I will try to see if I got battery and check my friend code and then when I can Ill send it to you for sure.

I got quite a few ds games as well 24 but nowdays it got a bit boring because there's nothing I want out yet. Wow I sound really enthusiastic .

[Sir SpankalotUK]

picked up metroid hunters last night, kinda leapt into a multiplayer game before I was even sure what the controls were, got 1 kill before the timer was up. Also had a good crack at the single player, since I have played the Gamecube version I was knew what you expect, the game seems to scream that it wants a better graphics display especially for items in the distance (i.e. the graphics surpass what the screen can display). Was suprised the engine worked as well as it does. The controls need a mention here cos its a bit weird, D pad does the usual forward/back and strafe sideways, the other bits, look around and turn are done with the pen on the touch screen, sounds weird but it works.

I'll look into phoenix wright, heard good things about it already. And I'm a mug for sonic games.

[charmed699]

Yeah get sonic rush then its like the old 2D sonic games!
Im a fan too so Im getting the 360 sonic and the wii one too .

Try to find castlevania dawn of sorrow because its worth it or kirby powerpaintbrush because it only uses the stylus to play.

[Sir SpankalotUK]

ordered as many castlevanias as I could find on amazon. Will keep an eye out for sonic rush, if not I'll order it when I get back from the states

No, is there an infinity mode or something? Once I complete level 20 it's over.

We should exchange friend codes.

I assume you meant it as a joke, but I take my DS with me everytime I feel something big's about to leave my body

[Chris]

nah, i'm serious. I'm not saying that's the ONLY time it's good.

There's just something about shape puzzles and squeezing out a turtle that just feels perfect.

 spoiler:

tmi?

[Curry]

Considering the topic died after you said it: yup, that was definitely TMI

[Chris]

[charmed699]

Well thats the topic and my will to play Ds lite , I need new games because I finished everything I own ...

[Curry]

Doesn't something like Brain Training or Animal Crossing stay fun for the little moments in between?

[Rival24]

Brain Training gets boring, but Tetris is awesome online

[charmed699]

I fear going back to animal crosssing because i havent played it for ages though , think of the weeds .

i did play ds today at the hospital though with some courtroom action in phoenix wright

[Rossko_UK]

Hey, I just bought a DS Lite this week too! How do you get it online, because I can't find any net settings anywhere. I only have Worms and NEw Mario atm, but I'm gunna go out on spree for DS games! Any recommendations anyone?!

[charmed699]

well mate how wifi works is you need a wifi game like mario kart or lost magic , then when you connect online inside the game's wifi menu you get a friend code. each game gives you one and if you want to play with mates then you have to swap friend codes , but ramdom player matches dont need it .

there's a browser you buy as well and then you can go onthe web through it with a wireless router. Oh and also in each game you get a menu with wifi settings to connect up to 3 wifi networkd(hotspots, your home,etc)

hope that helps specially because its hard to type with one hand.

I would recommend sonic rush for its incredible speed, huge levels and music, phoenix wright for originality , mario kart because its online fun racing to start you off but there's tons of quality games.

phoenix wright is cheap online at woolworth too for 14 quid

[Rossko_UK]

Ah OK, so the games I have ain't WiFi then? Because they don't have seperate menus for any of the stuff you mentioned.

[charmed699]

no if its wifi the box has a blue circle on the top left , from my head wifi games avaiable are

mario kart
animal crossing
metroid prime
tony hawks
lost magic
42 board games classics only 16.99 online
bleach ds which i imported from japan cool beat em up online

then for importing whats avaiable is
starfox
and sorry but cant remember much right now.

[Rossko_UK]

OK cheers, that's a big help! I now know what I'm looking for!

[charmed699]

glad i helped have fun with the games you get , today i spend lunch break cleaning my ac town .
