I had to put away Peach for the night. It's a fun game but it was getting on my nerves. I will try again tomorrow.

Super Princess Peach? :D I knew Nintendo were doing a new Mario Bros game (plays the same way as classic 2D Marios but with 3D graphics), is this the same thing or different? :)

This is different. The real Super Mario Bros game is coming out in May. :)

I finally got around playing meteos yesterday. ITS AWESOME! so freaking addictive. :)

I just finished the fourth case in Phoenix Wright and I really, really enjoyed that game. If you can find it, I highly recommend it.

Sounds like there was some mad craziness in Japan yesterday.

Yeah, I got an mail from Lik-Sang about my pre-order. Not only did they sell out and probably won't be able to fullfill my order for a number of weeks, but they jacked the price up to $200! Bastards!

And I already have 8 DS games sitting on my desk, taunting me. :(

The 5th case is what I am on now, and it is pretty tough, but the best case of all. It uses cool stylus features.

No kidding, I can't believe that I have played over 30 hours of this game since the end of January....

If Play-Asia bumps my pre-order up to $200 I'll probably cancel and wait for it. I ordered the Enamel Navy one which isn't due out for another 10 days.

Geez, I guess I'm a complete idiot because I can't get a word in edgewise on the first witness. I can clearly see some points worth talking about, but that idiot judge keeps overruling me.

My God, it's even more beautiful than the PSP's screen... :drool:

Damn.

Don't like how far those carts stick out though. If I upgrade I would never put a GBA game in it. Love the screen, but really have to question the need for this. I guess I have until at least May to decide.

And since it will probably be sold out for weeks / months, you may have longer to decide! ;)

I agree and up until I saw that pic I was going to sell my GBA SP2. Not anymore.

As far as the DS Lite goes -- the screen alone has me sold!

Mann Made 03-02-06 07:15 PM

Do GBA cartridges really stick out like that or is that a PlayYan media player? That kinda sucks. Even if you don't want to use the DS to play GBA games some games will need that slot for the rumble pack.

sdcrym 03-02-06 07:17 PM

I don't know if I'd base the GBA cart assumptions on that picture. I figured that was some type of GBA based media viewer to view the same pic as on the PSP. It would stick out some on the GBA if that's the case.

Don't know for sure though.

The shape really doesn't look like the top of a GBA cart. It looks more like the Drill Dover cart which has a rumble pack, so I assume it might be a media viewer as well.

That is a Play Yan micro so I know its sticking out a bit farther than a normal cart, but even regular carts stick out too far for my OCD to be able to stand it. Granted I have a GBA micro so I have a GBA device already and they are making a new rumble pack for the smaller DS so its not like I will be forced to use GBA carts with it, but I like having the option of carrying one device with both. Again, I like the Lite, but it will take me a long time to decide if its worth upgrading to. As posted above I will probably have plenty of time to decide.

tanman 03-03-06 01:53 AM

Is it really that hard to look one page back at a nice clear picture of how far the GBA carts stick out?




Just wondering.

Get over yourself. Really.

Not only has that picture you are referring to expired, but I specifically asked if that was a PlayYan in the picture above.

Thanks for the confirmation. Before the DS Lite was announced, I suspected that as the DS evolved it would become less GBA-friendly. I wasn't aware they were making a new rumble pack. Good to know. Thanks :)!

Thanks :)
Does Japan/the US have a different voltage to Europe? I'm just wondering what the implications areif I decide to import a US DS Lite. (I'm sure the console/games are Region Free).
