Is the DS dead??

I see no reason whatsoever to not retire my DS. I haven't played it in 4-5 months, the best games are just remakes of old games and the only good games that aren't remakes are either puzzle games or games that have no replay value at all. If I'm going to pay 30 bucks for a game, I'll get a console game that'll last me two to three times longer than a DS game and will be more fun. I'm sorry, but the DS has gone the way of the Gamecube...

Can anyone change my opinion before I give up on Nintendo entirely?!?!

:| Did you notice my console remark? Why would I buy GH:OT if I can just play GH3 which is more fun? I guess I should point out that I'm not on the road enough for console to handheld games to be worth my money. I guess I should just wait for E3 though....

Way to be of no help at all.

.....

FAIL!! :evil:

Dont give up on it.

Wait for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

It's going to be awesome.

Thats where my hope is going for the DS.

If it isn't good... I'm not sure what Im going to do.

name 5 good remakes on the DS. THere are at least 60+ good games so no it hasn't gone the way of the gamecube. You're just not trying, FFTA2 just came out it has tons playtime. Plus it's Summer summer is always slow. Fall you can expect castlevania, kirby, and more (kingdom hearts is coming too).

Well out right now theres FFTA2, Ninja Gaiden, the World ends with you, Professor Layton, ( newest ones I can think of)

And then up and coming are Disgaea DS, Castlevania Order of Eclessia, FF4, Valkryie Profile: the accursed one, etc...

Have you ever imported anything? Jump Ultimate Stars and Ouendan are 2 great choices.

Oh man, the DS is so far from the Gamecube it's not funny. By the end of it's run the DS will arguably be rememberd as one of the best systems next to the PS2 and SNES.

have you tried:

- Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (immense replay value)

- Ninja Gaiden DS

- Proffessor Layton

There you go three unique games for the DS I happen to be playing right now. Have you really dug into the DS library or are you just looking for a reson to sell it?

There are NOT 60 good DS games. Your standards must be very, very low. Or you're 7.ItsEvolution

You probably don't own both of the Advance Wars games, Elite Beat Agents, professor layton, The World Ends With You, FFTA2, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon. Well, maybe you do but that's just off the top of my head.

When you own every game in the recommendation thread and have beaten them all you can retire your DS

This thread seems like a bunch of whining. I used to play my DS a lot when I rode the bus around. Now that I have a car, I just play it more at home. There are so many games to play, so I don't know what you are whining about. The DS has sold tens of millions of units and will continue to sell. How can you compare this to the Gamecube. The DS Lite is the number one handheld. If you don't like it, then sell it. The truth is that there are plenty of games out there, you just don't know about them or like them.

Your concerns are valid amongst all video game systems, but you have to ask yourself this; "Will I potentially want this system to play a game in the future?" I know it sounds ridiculous, but I know a lot of people who traded in a system, only to want it back a few months later. I've seen people waste so much money in "rebuying" a system they once owned. If there's something you need the money for such as paying rent, buying another system, taking your girfriend out for her birthday, or anything more important, then maybe you should sell it. Otherwise, it might be worth your while to hold onto it, just in case a killer game comes out that you simply must play. Peace.

-nintendo just announced a major release for ds so no its not dead, thats kirby superstar ds,

The DS has an enormous established library, you don't have to buy brand new games...

If you think the DS has it bad, look at the PSP's future lineup... it's practically non existant. Which is a great shame, because I think it is hands down the better handheld gaming system.

PS.. if you like SRPG's, get your hands on a PSP... it has a fair sized library of them, and most of them take 30 to 50 hours to beat.

Let's try suggesting games that don't suck.

Check out NSMB, Zelda, TWEWY, FFTA2, Days of Ruin, Phoenix Wright, Mario Kart, Professor Layton, Animal Crossing, Ninja Gaiden, Elite Beat Agents, Pokemon, etc...

If none of those games interest you, take your own advice and retire your DS.

I disagree, I think there are plenty of good games...

The world ends with you.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates( NOTE: only if you play multiplayer imo)

Jump ultimate stars (yeah its japanese, but its still great)

Contra (great multiplayer, short, but good replay for me)

Tetris ds....if you like Tetris that is.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (surpisingly good.)

Advance Wars (lots of em)

Yoshi's Island DS (Its better than it sounds, really.)

anywho...I'm going to stop now, however, i'm guessing that the ds is just not your taste.

Also, since I'm able to play hombrew games like colors on my ds, that also makes it a lot better.

DS- NOT DEAD!

Having more of a rest. Like E3 is coming. new sonic game GH DS new kirby game and bunch more.

Theres a Bomberman coming out??

Anyhow there are some alright games for ds comnig out. I don't enjoy rpgs but theres N+, KSSU, Wario Shake it!, stuff like that. But then again, we have different intrests, so thats up to you.

[QUOTE="ItsEvolution"]There are NOT 60 good DS games. Your standards must be very, very low. Or you're 7.Ruhdezee

Annoyingly honest, maybe.

I never said there weren't good games on the DS. I'm saying that 60 (or more) is a stretch. Maybe that's including the dozens of Pokemon games? I don't know. But I know that I personally own 6 DS games, and there's MAYBE about 3 more that I'd buy. I know to each their own, but I'm just not seeing 60 good games out there.

The more recent releases have not interested me at all. If you ask me, it's really slowing down for the DS. But then again, Dragon Warrior IX and Castlevania are on the way.

Play Crazy Pig or DIE,DIE,DIE!DarkChrisss1995

I don't even know what that is...

with you console remark, then yes. The DS is dead. You have to accept that handheld games generally are shorter than console games.

If you could accept that simple fact, then there is plenty to play.

Some of those games are really iffy and are generally not considered "good." You also listed a few GBA games. Fail.

Which ones are GBA?

I didn't list any GBA games, I have no clue what you're talking about. Fail for you my friend, apparently we both failed. But hey I listed all good games so I achieved what I set out to do. I listed more than 60 actually and I could list more.

Yeah you're right. No GBA games. Some garbage, but no GBA games. Corvidae = Fail
