When we camped out to buy Wiis, we played multi-player single cart Meteos and Puyo Pop Fever. I MUCH MUCH MUCH preferred Puyo Pop Fever to Meteos. I just didn't like it nearly as much.

that's crazy-talk


you must've not done too well on meteos :/

It was the first time I had played either, against two of my brothers that are very experienced at it. Mainly it was a fight for 3rd place with the occasional 2nd w/ another guy bringing up the rear mainly.

yea, thats the thing about meteos


It has such a steep learning curve that, until you get passed that hump, you won't like it.

I will say, having played a sh!t-load of puzzle type games, Meteos still ranks extremely high. After you get the niche of the game down, there is nothing more rewarding than comboing your entire screen and blasting it into outter space, where it rains down on your opponent like so many shards of glass, causing their stack to crumble and fall

MWAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Thanks man!

That would be my suggestion, but not for the reason you give. TM is pretty short compared to HD (so you should be able to play through it pretty quick), and HD has more memorable characters and a better storyline (IMO). With that said, HD has no real direct connections to TM, so you don't need to worry about missing anything if you play through HD first. I just think that it's easier to play through TM before you see how much better HD is.

I would kill for a good version of Super Puzzle Fighter on the DS. That was was my favorite puzzle game that my wife and i played on the PC (and Dreamcast) constantly.

You guys aren't going to let this thread die until I hunt down a DS Lite and buy it, are you?

Trace Memory is fine and all, but I think Hotel Dusk is a more enjoyable game, and it has pretty much all of what made TM a good game.

I've had the GBA version sitting on my wishlist at half.com for ages. I just know as soon as I pull the trigger and order, a DS version will be announced. Normally I wouldn't care, but for some reason this one stays around the $20 mark.

just get capcom puzzle world for the psp

xmiyux play through Trace Memory just cause it's a damn cool game. It's made by the same people and there are references to TM in Hotel Dusk. I wasn't saying it was a sequel when we were talking about that but more like the developers building on a great concept.

I'm having a blast with Phoenix Wright 2 as well right now.

Will it work in my DS?

maybe if you push hard enough

Well i have my very own pink DS Lite - so what are some must play RPGs?

The only RPG I've been playing on DS is FFIII, which is spectacular, supposing that you are a fan of random battles and a slightly higher level of difficulty than the standard.
