should i get a DS or not??

ok, first of all, i know its kinda stupid to ask this on the DS forum, but help me out

long story short, Im simply dying to play the two Castlevania games for DS.... Im a series fan. however, it seems that those two are pretty much the only games that interest me among all DS games (or at least by looks of it).

I'm not a fan of Pokemon, not a fan of Zelda, not a fan of Mario (ok... i admit a liked Mario 64, and if i do end up getting a ds, thats probably another game i'd get), and i personally dont feel like spending thirty some bucks on brain training or puzzle games...

I seriously want to play the two, but i don't know if its worth spending over hundred bucks for just that reason... none of my friends are DS users, so i cant really borrow it from anyone either.

my question is, given all the things that i just said, is DS really not for a guy like me? are the games that i mentioned above pretty much it for decent games on DS? because if they are... it might be stupid for me to spend all the money just to be able to play two games;

NOOOOOO DONT DO IT!!!!

iT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!

Get it man and in time you will find other games that appeal to you...

Well atleast that was my situation

yes u should because u should look at that other games i traded my psp for ds and i think ds is amazing wifi is so much fun

games are

advanced wars or w.e its called

Sonic Rush

sports games are also good too

if your not an rpg fan try some of those too but if u arent just try it cuz ds changes your likings of games

wifi is the best online service right now for games on ds because the connection is so strong and u hardly get disconnects get the ds lite u wont regret it

You don't have to be a fan of the game, to like the game.

Get a DS, there is so many games you coud buy, other than Castlevania, that you'd love. You just have to search and take a chance, ponder around some reviews to find high rated ones.

YES OR NO?

I choose OR!:P

i bought my DS against my will (my girlfriend choked slam me to get one.. :roll: )

now i play it more than my girlfriend and i intend to get her one.. or maybe a psp i suppose..

get one.. definitely a lot of games out there that you might like and enjoy..)

If you're a series fan, to the degree you're actually considering a DS, i would recommend you just go do it. The DS castlevania's are incredible games; and you'll even be able to play the GBA castlevania's.

But, most importantly, if you have a DS you'll probably end up finding alot more interesting games. You say you're not interested in much else, but you can't really know that for sure until you try them. We've all disliked things, or not cared for things, until we've actually tried them.. then we've fallen in love with them. You say you aren't a zelda fan, but you might just find that phantom hourglass is a brilliant and fresh game.
Then, there are the lesser known titles outside the DS community. Luminous Arc is a great SRPG. Contra 4 is a brilliant return to the series roots. Prof Layton, Phoenix Wright and Hotel Dusk are incredible adventure games.

The DS is the system to have this gen, imo. Everyone should have one, if they can afford it. There are so many unique and excellent games on this little machine(and, relative to all of the other platforms, it's quite inexpensive). At the very least, it's a perfect complement to any of the other systems.. though i'm sure there are many of us that play it more then all of the other platforms.

It's all I play; I dont have a tv right now so it's cool for me. Try some games out before deciding against them, there are so many games out there.

By the way, I've logged 60 hours so far on portrait of ruin andI'mnot close to done. So muchstuff to unlock. And using the sisters is amazing, just fly about and cut stuff up with the stylus.

I'd buy a DS just to play Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin..!!

Is it wrong for a man to fall in love with a video game..?
