Oops yep I have that on my list. That must be the one lol. I count it since it plays on US systems but I completely understand why a lot of people don't count it. I've heard many people refer to it as "extra credit" lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard many people refer to it as "extra credit" lmao It's not really a game, not ESRB rated, but it's semi-region locked, in that a Japanese or Korean version won't play on US consoles, but any of the European centric languages will. Technically you could count each language as a separate release, they each have a different flag on the cover and different language on the cart. That would make 8, I think? I can't recall all the languages and I can't find a list online anywhere. Pretty sure there's English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean... and I must be forgetting some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To All) Have you ever experienced Learn With Pokemon Typing Adventure? This is the ONLY pokemon game never given a US release amazingly enough. It got both a Japanese and multi-region/box EU release too. The game is unique it's like Mavis Beacon/Mario Teaches Typing mixed with Pokemon having a whole story, pokedex, capture mechanic and research tasks all around typing so it's like Typing of the Dead. It comes with a full blown bluetooth keyboard, and if you get the ENGLISH EU release it's US standard QWERTY. Normally it goes like $80+ on ebay new, but Amazon has a US listing from a US seller for $30-35 shipped brand new. I got it and it's amazing and you can double down using the keyboard for any bluetooth device (phone, tablet, consoles, etc.) Hell of a deal really at that price. See for yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Pokémon-Typing-Adventure-DS-Nintendo/dp/B0096763KY This is amazing, how did I never hear of this? There's a bunch of really cool add-ons for the DS, some thanks to that perfectly located slot-2. I'm aware of, off the top of my head: The Rumble Pak you mentioned, bundled with Metroid Prime Pinball, that supports like 40 games (there are also knockoff versions that work with DS Lite) A Taito spin knob paddle controller which was exclusive to Japan, which works for Arkanoid but also games like Peggle Guitar Hero controller A TV tuner that was also exclusive to Japan A radio tuner, again pretty sure exclusive to Japan A memory expansion pak that was bundled with the Nintendo DS browser, and I think there were two versions, one for DS and the other for DS Lite Easy Piano came with a mini piano Wappy Dog, not something you plug in, but a dog you control with the DS Master of Illusion, again not something you plug in, but comes with a card deck that is kind of like an add-on Personal Trainer Walking came with two pedometers, one white and one black, again not something you plug in And the Pokewalker, of course There's probably more. I have some of these! Not all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two *in the USA.* There are more in Japan: Tingle's Balloon Fight and Zekkyo Senshi Sakebrain. They are cheap to find on eBay. For the Louvre guide, FYI all, the French version can be sold anywhere in France, not just at the Louvre. You can buy it on Amazon.fr. I think it will set you back maybe 20 Euro with shipping. Quote These could only be purchased with 800 Club Nintendo coins by doing reviews of DS and Wii games via the codes you found on the inserts. Or you could have done what I used to do and buy Club Nintendo codes to redeem for the points off eBay. I used to buy them from a guy who would buy many copies of Pokemon to load up with shinies and re-sell. He made a little extra money selling the codes for like $3 each. Crazy times.

Strange | 1,700 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) The DS is a fantastic console to both play and collect for and I can see it exploding someday. Many games for it just can’t be converted because of the touch interface and as mentioned, many cases and manuals were destroyed at retail. It also has such a huge library that I’m always finding titles I hadn’t seen before. It’s fun and easy to collect console variants. Is there a more drastic improvement in a console than the OG DS to the DS Lite? It’s also an important system historically because of its booming popularity. It sold like hot cakes. Everyone had one. I wouldn’t say it was as culturally relevant as the Wii at the time, but it was damn close. Nintendo experimented with a weird idea and it blew up. They originally intended for it to be alongside the GBA (or so Nintendo said) but once it caught fire they focused entirely on it. The DS was an integral part of my childhood and teenage years so I have a ton of memories and a very high opinion of it.

Lots and lots of $100+ CIB games, and you have a couple that are that price for just the cart too. Some of the really hard to find ones are $250+ CIB. People are finally catching onto DS collecting and realizing just how incredible the library is. It's not all garbage like what people once assumed. Sure, a lot of it is, but there are easily over 50 great games. I'm always amazed just how rare some of the DS titles are to find CIB given how popular the system was, but man, finding the case and manuals for some titles is darn near impossible. Quick, top 5 favorite DS games, and go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,931 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah he's right, the DS is loaded probably with a thousand choices of pure crap, no argument there. But there are at least easily 50 games you probably should consider a must play on the system, surely more or less given someones tastes in genres too. Even Nintendo got a bit daring on stuff they'd make or at least publish like True Swing Golf to stuff like Hotel Dusk, both, truly fantastic and cheaply owned. Yet my tip off to it was last year I stumbled across Ecclesia for the DS and thought it was expensive at $40 but being happy it was a sale that day so I got another like 1/3 off that to find out at home people were nutbag over it paying $100+ for a Castlevania game. DS has some odd quirks to it where people get heavy handed and pay, typically at least on a quality title, not so much like high pay on turds of obscurity like say the NES library. DS for me, well, it's not so much about growing up memories, that's the 8/16bit time for me, but it wasn't hard to realize the system had a lot of potential because it was a true 2D powerhouse but also N64 level capable of some solid 3D too. The variety of games is quite diverse, and due to the fact the media was relatively cheap, as were the budgets behind it to make true greatness vs the bloated HD stuff on TVs there was a ton of cool things happening you could just dig into. It still was a time before indie really took off, so you had all those risk takers doing some nice stuff with the hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I enjoy the simpleness and colors (yes I know that sounds bad) it keeps you entertained honestly. It’s kinda a “watery” spin of Kirby (which I also enjoy). It also reminds me of cool spot on the snes which again was another favorite of mine. Also, the mini games are fun. another one I like is Mario hoops 3 on 3. I don’t see many people mentioning it but it’s good for picking up for a quick play during a lunch or just for fun.

Tanooki | 4,931 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Legendary Starfy is awesome, it's like an equally if not more kirby cute platformer, but under the sea as a starfish, instead of a pink hoover like blob. I've got maybe 10 or so DS games, that's one I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see how the prices are fluctuating and can see how they will only start to over inflate due to the “kids” who had these that can now buy these on their own. Same thing happens with me with the n64, sega genesis, and play station. Tons of solid titles on both the ds/3ds that people on a budget can get into. It’s also good for people that only unfortunately have the option of GameStop at this time. They even under value the good titles which can be good. I know that they get a bad rap but I’m sure it’s helped a few hear and there when they blow out crap a few times a year. im still looking for rocket slime and drone tactics by the way haha.

May the odds be ever in your favor. I got super lucky and found drone tactics at a local GameStop years ago for $2. Haven't seen one within a 100 mile radius since. Rocket slimes used to be abundant at several gamestops but not anymore. You'll very likely find rocket slime before drone tactics. Drone tactics is far more rare than rocket slime. If I find either one, I'll message you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
