Ummmm, you may want to read the book that came with it or go to nintendo's website and see if you can find the manual page. If not, you need to find someone who already has a DS so they can teach you how to use it.

I agree with every single comment!! I have said to my hubby I would love a new, fresh,hardcore RPG that will steal hours from my life. The only thing I didn't quite agree with is I like figureing out where to stick his butt on the field,lol. Nintendo is continueing to try and promote DS for adults with mini-type games such as Brain Age and several puzzle games. Has no one went up to the president from Nintendo , smack him on the back of the head and said " If you want adult gamers make adult games that will make them want to sell thier homes to buy a DS and make them call off work cause they couldn't turn if off?"

Hey Nintendo prez, if your gonna sell DS's to adults you need good adult themedgames!! *smacks head*

Look around you at a game store, most hardcore console gamers are adults ( or close to it) and the hardcore RPG's out sell every other genere. One of the things that made Gameboy so popular that everyone owned one ( young and adult alike) were due to a new game they just had to have, then they went downhill from there. Another thing I don't get is adults are much more likely to run out and drop some $$ for games than a kid who has to save thier allowance.

If and (hopefully when) they finally get it together and bring out a good RPG, I can guarantee you I will be sitting at my local Walmart or EB games, credit card in hand, on the day that sucker hits the shelves, with my 14 year old drooling on my shoulder waiting for his turn at it and praying there is more than1 save slot.
