I’ve just bought a DS…

[Danny Stephenson]

Any recommendations for any good games?, I’m mainly after puzzly type games really.

I play Professor Layton and the Curious Village on my sister’s DS when I’m at my parents. Also play the Touchmaster games.

I’d get a R4 cartridge for your DS if I were you… ;)

Not that I condone that sort of thing of course

If you grew up playing Nintendo games, buy New Super Mario Brothers. Quality retro style gaming updated to look smashing.

[Liam Fretwell]

The problem I had with New Super Mario Brothers was I found it far too short.

This is coming from someone who completes the original NES version in just over 6 minutes ;)

[Richey]

Then there is no pleasing you! :P

[Liam Fretwell]

There never is when it comes to Mario. With the exception of Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii of course. Actually, no, I lie. I like all the Mario games…. Except Dr. Mario. That sucked ass.

[Richey]

Hahahaha Dr Mario :P

[Liam Fretwell]

If anyone has a copy of Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube that they don’t want, send it my way! I think that’s one of the few I’m missing….

Get out.

The new Super Mario is fantastic if you ask me, so much replability, I have finished the game with everything twice and those mini games, well they are worth the price tag alone.

Writing this on my new dsi, jiggazz! Time for porn and Mario Kart.

Got 50 notes for my old-style DS on eBay and my DSi is waiting for me at the Post Office. Now, with the aid of a microphone that actually works, I can progress further in Phantom Hourglass.

I bought Chrono Trigger recently with a view to playing it on the flight back to Los Angeles next week.

I’d love a DS…

I don’t know what the going rate is, but that sounds like you did pretty good for yourself on that deal…considering it’s a few years old and kind of broken.

I just have Phantom Hourglass and New Super Mario Bros., and two games from the DSi Download shop. (You get 1000 free points just for logging in!)

So far I can’t keep my hands off it.

…Maybe later I’ll play with the DSi.

[JamesTC]

So how does the DSi work with a connection to the internet, wireless or can you connect it to your laptop.

[Phil]

There’s a USB adapter available (no idea what it costs, but it’s mentioned somewhere in the system settings menu) if you need it, but I think it “intends” to connect to a network wirelessly.

So yeah, there is some way to get a wired connection out of it, but I don’t know how much that configuration actually entails.

>Just have Phantom Hourglass and New Super Mario Bros., and two games from the DSi Download shop. (You get 1000 free points just for logging in!)

Which two games did you get, Phil? Are the points only for DSi games (ie. you can’t use them for Wii downloads instead)?

[Phil]

I bought Pyoro (a standalone version of some WarioWare game I never played), which was only 200 points and definitely worth the download, if only to have a genuinely fun, addictive time-waster ready at all times on your DSi.

And the underwater Art Style game. Because everything Art Style touches turns to sex. It was 500 points so if you’re not a big puzzler fan already, don’t bother. If you ARE, then you’ll appreciate the calm hypnosis of the game, and the truly excellent interactive soundtrack.

Also, as far as I am aware, the points are only good on the console you purchased them on. If you buy a points card, you can use it on either the Wii or the DSi, but you can’t swap them back and forth; the points are tethered to that particular console.
