Re: Official Nintendo DS Thread VIII: 65 Million Strong.. and Growing
I'm loving it. I'm like 55 puzzles in so far. The puzzles are very good like the first game with a pretty good mix of puzzle types. The story is very cute and the production values are a bit higher on this one. More voice work and more cut scenes. It is a must buy game as far as I'm concerned.

That's not even a nice shade of pink. Reminds me too much of that horrid shade of '80s neon pink, like Pepto Bismol.

I agree as long as the packaging is quite different. The GB color karts were also different shaped and clear, so that helped. I don't think it would be that big of a deal. Though, there are a crap ton of DS(non-i) out there. I don't know if a DSi only title would be able to fair as well as a DS title for quite some time.

I think it is like puzzle #7.

I've solved 32/32 and my wife's at 62/63.
She got to "The Train Ticket" puzzle... and that was the best one yet (she asked for my help on it). Really innovative puzzle with a bizarre twist in how to solve it.
This game is great! I just wish I didn't get it and the Battlestar Galactica BD set on the same day.

Some of the puzzles have really had me thinking. It is amazing how quickly you can send yourself off in the wrong direction when thinking about some of them. So far a couple of the math ones have really had me working to figure them out mostly because I'm doing them the hardest way possible when there is a much easier solution available.
BTW, I just finished the camera minigame which unlocks something else game wise and I'm enjoying trying to help the hamster lose weight and finding the tea recipes. Really a very deep and enjoyable title.

Re: Official Nintendo DS Thread VIII: 65 Million Strong.. and Growing
Finished Professor Layton and really liked it. Feel like I used more hint tokens this time around, but overall it was a blast and I enjoyed the 12 hours or so it took me to get through. I also have to admit to using gamefaqs for a couple of the sliding puzzles. I just hate those, but overall I found it great to play through again and cheating on 2 out of 153 puzzles isn't too bad. The ending is just plain silly. I won't say more than that, but silly for this series is kind of saying something. Didn't ruin the game though and the third chapter can't get here quickly enough. BTW, there are already two downloadable puzzles available.
Next up for me is Scribblenauts. Can't wait.

I'm playing DQ IV right now and love it....hoping to be able to get DQ V if it drops to $29....
Picked up FF III and IV today at BB, looking forward to diving into them after I'm done with DQ IV.

Fingers crossed on that. I'm about 25 hours into Dragon Quest V and can't believe how great the story is. I see why V is a favorite for many fans of the series.

I'm excited for the third installment which must be coming since there is an unlockable bonus that requires a password from the third game.

Oh, I just ordered a pink DSi for the wife and she's giving me the blue DSi I got her a couple of months ago.
Picked it up from Amazon for $170 w/ Rhythm Heaven for free (which I will trade in for another game locally).

I was in Game Crazy the other day and they were pushing Scribble naughts really hard! Would this be a good game for a 5th grade girl? Thanks for the input....

I'm finding that DQ V is getting harder to find, Amazon doesn't have any new copies in stock on their website neither does Gamestop.....

Square-Enix over-shipped DQIV so the print run for DQV was scaled WAY down. Anybody interested it it would probably be well advised to grab it now before it starts to get overpriced in the second-hand market.
