- My own personal HELL!
So I just bought myself one of these little suckers yesterday, and I have to say I love this thing so far!
See, I purchased the original Game Boy Advance, the flat one with the non-backlit screen and hated it. I couldn't see anything on the screen! For the last few years (yes, I mean years), I've been stuck on the second to last level of Super Mario World, and could not for the life of me find the next area to go to in Castlevania: Curse of the Moon.
I only ended up buying a few games for the GBA since I hated the screen so much. It was a pretty big disappointment; then when the GBA SP came out I couldn't bring myself to spend another $100 for what the GBA should have been the first time.
Anyway, I finally broke down and bought the DS, partly so I could play the games I already had with a good screen, and partly because the touch screen intrigued me. So far, I haven't been disappointed.
It's funny, the first time I popped in Super Mario World, I immediately completed the level I'd been stuck on for so long, and then later on found a completely new area in Castlevania It's amazing what a good screen can do for a game.
I just bought Mario 64 DS today and am having a great time. I really want to unlock more games for the Rec Room, since those are great bathroom time killers.
So who has a DS, and what do you think of it? Also, what games do you guys recommend? I'd like a good racing game, not sure which one to pick up. I also would like to pick up some of the GBA games that I never bought, like FF Tactics, and FF I + II. I think I'll have to wait until next payday though. . .
