Weird question, and I'd answer it myself, but my DS is at home and I'm at work, can anyone tell me the dimensions of DS and GBA instructions?

Background: I have that Nintendo DS case in which you can store 9 games, and the DS slides in the side pocket. It's a great case, but while traveling recently I noticed that the instructions are making the case a little too bulky. Yeah one solution would be to just not take the instructions, but if you haven't played a game for awhile, refreshers are needed. At home obviously it isn't a problem, this is mainly a solution needed for traveling.

So I thought if I could get another little box/bag that I could just stash away the instructions in that'd be cool. I'd rather have a few smaller bags than one big fat one.

The thing I have noticed about DS instructions especially is that they are ALWAYS bigger than I think. I've tried them in a few things I had around the house (3.5" disk boxes, a travel case for ZIP discs, etc) and the instructions are always about 1/8 to 1/4" too big. I thought maybe one of those padded GBA SP cases might be good, but I don't know the dimensions of the instructions...hence the question. Failing any kind of solution, I'll just throw them in a ziploc bag! hehe

Picked up Final Fantasy VI and Lunar Knights at a great price.

okay. Care to share?

Man, I got CHILLS when the opening music and title crawl to Final Fantasy VI came on. It's been a long time now that I think about it.. and now it's time for super-geeky observation: I'm disappointed that they put the "Prelude" theme on the title screen, I liked that it was a surprise in the ending.. or am I just forgetting that it was used on the file select screen of the OG version?

Not a huge saving but it was $10 cheaper than what I saw online. My local Wal-mart was selling Final Fantasy VI for $32.99 Canadian and I got Lunar Knights for $29.99. That was the only place that had both games in stock as there were no sign of them at my local Future Shop and Best Buy

Tried to buy Lunar Knights, but couldn't even find it at Target or Best Buy. Figured this would be a major release.

I saw Lunar Knights at Fry's and Gamestop while birthday gift shopping over the weekend.

Is there multi-player? If so, I'll pick up two copies, one for the gift and one for myself.

Didn't Boktai flop? Why would a sequel to a flop be considered a major release?
Just curious.

Through some random searching online last week I found out about Boktai and was thinking about purchasing it. I had no clue about LK, much less it being a sequel to a game I'd never heard of.

Is Boktai worth it? The premise sounds intriguing.

I couldn't stand Boktai, but that's just me. A lot of people love it.

So I've been playing Lunar Knights for a bit, and I like it. It's essentially a dungeon crawler but with some interesting gameplay elements, namely the weather and time of day. You control one of two characters, one light and one dark, and can switch between them on the fly, depending on whose abilities you need at the time.

On another note, I also picked up FFVI and am currently playing the hell out of it. It's been some time since I last played it(I downloaded a ROM of it to my PSP but it ran like crap so I didn't even bother) and it's just as good as I recall. With next to nothing coming out for a bit I can safely play this at my leisure.

Konami is treating this as a new series in the US and downplaying any link to Boktai. I figured this would be a game everyone would stock not knowing it was really a Boktai sequel.

You shoulda' had him playing Nintendogs.

I have been playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I think that this one is harder that the previous one. I am on the second case right now.

The third and fourth case will drive you a bit crazy as they are harder, but the stories for them are excellent.

Had fun finishing this game and Hotel Dusk back to back.

Should pick up Lunar Knights this week and start it. I'm actually having a blast playing Polarium Advance right now. I'm finally 265 puzzles in and have started the level 5 difficulty puzzles. Yeah, I know. I'm probably the only person on Earth that bought this game.

Just got Hotel Dusk today, awesome so far. I did like Trace Memory, but so much is improved in this game. Ignore the story etc, just the controls, the character expressions, the way things are highlighted when you touch them.. A very nice evolution from TM.

I had the first Polarium, so you weren't the only one. Hotel Dusk is on my wantlist as well.

Hotel Dusk is great. I'm in the middle of Chapter 2(I think).

I broke my suitcase key and I can't get the wire hanger off the wall to jimmy it open. I hope I'm not already stuck

I don't think so. I have the same problem, but once you get going there is more stuff to do than worry about the suitcase.

The game seems pretty straight forward. Meaning if you can't do something right away, there is some invisible trigger that will allow it down the road. And this just got me thinking, I found something that may allow me to get the hanger off the hook.

You will get something soon to deal with the hanger. It is kind of weird when you have to have a conversation with someone before a door will open, but that is pretty common on point and click adventures.

Damn! I knew the DS was popular but I didn't know it was THAT popular! Rock on furry friend, rock on!

I already had it. I had just finished that room and saved/quit. I hadn't thought about the solution until I posted.

Finally picked up Rocket Slime when I saw it at Best Buy for $24.99. Looking forward to playing it, had been on my want list for a long time but balked at $30-35 for a 9-10 hour game.
