Polarium is a great puzzle game for the DS too.

Final Fantasy VII (PS3 remake, especially after the damn teaser bit)

Civ3 for PS2

A Big Brother game

Lego Stars Wars: Episode IV - VI and beyond...

Damn Anthony. Gets tongue and an ass grope on Orla. Fucker.

w00t. Saskia has gone.

Yeah. The ONLY gameboy I can play comfortably is the old school grey brick.

I wish I never threw it away. I had to sellotape the back on, but it worked. And I bought it when I was about 6 at a carboot sale for £5 with a bunch of games I still play today on my GBA. Which I'd play more often if the cartridge didn't stick RIGHT out like a complete spaz-stick.

Science wanted wear his shoes over his Romeo & Juliet ballet outfit.

The only comics I'm reading atm are Pokemon Adventures, wouldn't mind reading a decent Venom/Carnage comic.

Kemal wants to be the nurse in Romeo and Juliet. *sigh* Maybe the worst task ever, I love Science's arguments, by the way.

Stupid Craig, crying all the fucking time over nothing. I wish he would just do something gay with Anthony as he obviously wants to so he can be a decent housemate again.

Nowhere near as good as the UK lot, although, wish I could watch the US one too.

The Legend Of Zelda & The Minish Cap (GBA) - 9/10

I know it's not the box cover, it's a better picture though. A hard game to get into, but great when you first meet Ezlo, the "Minish Cap" and learn to shrink down to Minish size. Vaati, the final boss is a bitch too.

Yes, it can still play GBA games. However, GBA link cables and wireless adapters will not fit the DS so if you want to battle on something like Pokémon, you will need a GBA.

As in scratched up, if you have the platinum SP like me, all the colour has started to wear off, and my R button no longer works. That is an old GBASP.

Yes, in Mario 64 DS you don't need to use the stylus at all if you don't want to. But in some games such as Pac Pix you have to use the stylus.

(I'm typing this out of a magazine article so be patient, and aware of speeling errors )

Nintendo is going online and it's not going to cost you a penny. "It's no secret that we didn't invent the concept of online gaming" admitted the Excutive VP Reggie Fils-Aime, "but we do intend to re-invent it. More people means more fun, especially if you're connecting with them around the world".

Fils-Aime revealed that experienced online experts GameSpy would be powering Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection system and that two killer apps would be avaliable from Nintendo before the end of the year: Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing DS. Nintendo has also said that "many more titles" are in development.

Online gaming can be a complex affair and that can put off less experienced players. The percentage of X-Box and PS2 owners playing online games is less than 10%, but Nintendo is aiming far higher than that. "We expect the participation rate to reflect a clear majority to owners - as high as 90%" said Fils-Aime.

Part of the key to making this happen is to remove the barriers to entry. Not only will the sytem be free, Nintendo is also catering to people who don't have wireless broadband at home by setting up at least 1,000 DS gaming 'hotspots' around the globe. You can walk in range and then play online with your DS. Simple.

"The interface will be as simple as intuitive as every other aspect of DS play" explained Fils-Aime, removing another significant entry barrier. There will be no fiddling about with network settings and the like, as PC owners have had years of enduring just to play against their friends online.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection works on two levels. You can either play against people you already know around the world, or have the system match you up with players of a similar level to you. Traditional online gaming is a nightmare for the new player, with online veterans using them as cannon fodder at every opportunity.

Fils-Aime made a point of saying that every first party game would be free to play online, suggesting arrangements with third-parties have yet to be made. It's clearly an attractive system to develop for though with 25 game makers already signed up. Big names like Capcom, Konami and Sega are onboard with Activision promising an online Tony Hawk's game by Christmas.

With Nintendo so commited to getting online gaming right at the first attempt with the DS, the future looks bright for Revolution. The internet is a key part of the Revolution proposition and Nintendo is insuring it has the expertise upfront so it knows it can pull it off.

Confirmed online games in production are: Tony Hawk's, Mobile Suit Gundam, Digimon World, Tenchu DS, Bomberman, Momotaro Dentetsu World, Dynasty Warriors DS, World Soccer: Winning Eleven, Jikkyo Powerful Baseball, Castlevania, Bokujou-Monogatari, Rune Factory, Contact, "Real-Time Strategy", "New RPG", Animal Crossing DS, Mario Kart DS, Proffesional Wrestling, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

I assume it'll be £49-£69 as the current GBASP is at £69 I think.

Games will still be made for the GBA even if the GBA itself fades away as the DS has a GBA game slot. The GBA Micro looks awesome by the way, as long as I can fit my GBA wireless adapter onto it, I'll snag me one of them babies.

EDIT: Fuck, double post because of gay connection.

The Yoshi game is shite. The Kirby and Wario games are much better.

For really old Ninty games, wait for the Revolution, you'll be able to download NES,SNES and N64 games, including ones that weren't ever released in the UK such as Earthbound and Hey You! Pikachu!.

And yes as Dan says I am a Nintendo fanboy, but I have a PS2 as well.

Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Final Fantasy III and Bomberman are coming out too if RPG style games tickle your fancy.

I'm not excited, mostly because CKY are a load of over-hyped over-rated generic metal morons who only got anywhere because of their association with the scum of the Earth that is Bam fucking Margera.

I say Yay. Free online play will soon be coming to the Nintendo DS, it has really innovative games such as Pac Pix, Another Code and WarioWare! Touched as you mentioned. The real version is an awful lot more addictive by the way. Nintendogs will also be a worthwhile purchase when released. You can do single cart multiplayer with most multiplayer games such as Mario Kart (and online too!) and Super Mario 64 DS. If you're into Pokemon, the DS games get released in November in the US and the DS is completley region free. You also have PictoChat, which is like MSN Messenger's handwriting feature to message up to 16 people at a time, and now most games will tell you when someone within wireless range has entered PictoChat.

If that doesn't have you wanting a DS, don't get one.

Well that sucks, what am I meant to watch whilst getting ready for work now. A new presenter isn't going to make it better either, if you're listening TV god and I know you are.

RIP Richard Whiteley

I can only pray once Pokemon finally hits the bottom of the barrel (I'm guessing 20-30 years from now) they will finally release a game with everything in it, whether it be the game boy bird's eye view, 1st person or 3rd person.

I want all pokemon, all regions and all trainers. And fully customizable characters. I mean, that's not a lot to ask for in 30 years.

Why did we not have a topic about this ages ago...like in the E3 thread?
