What about the Nintendo DS ???

Question

Should I get the nintendo DS??? Will I spend alot of time playing or will I get bored like all the other consoles? What are games that will challenge me and have fun with for long hours, a game that doesnt get boring. Will the pokemon games be the same as yellow and gold because most of them are the sam idea and maps which can get beaten after a few days. What mario games are fun that dont get beaten easily like Super Mario Bros?

Answer 1

Depends on the games you get, honestly.  It's great to pick up and play for a while, but I'm definitely not on mine everyday.

No advice on games - I really haven't seen a "killer app" yet for the DS.  Just some fun games that I play for a while and then trade in.  I'm currently working on "The World Ends With You" and "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" but neither is perfect.  When I get bored, I swap in something else or play PS3/Wii.

In the end, there's no perfect answer.  It depends on you and your preferences.  Also, there's a strong rumor that Nintendo will be releasing an upgraded DS early next year, so that might impact your decision to buy one now (or not).

Answer 2

You will get bored, the DS is old and boring.

Answer 3

If u already have a PSP which is better than a DS. Otherwise yes the nintendo ds is a great system. a hard game 2 beat is legend of zelda phantom hourglass. Thats really hard to beat. and super mario 64 ds. if u intend to get 150 stars. those are good games. plz select as best answer.

Answer 4

Get a PSP. It can hold video, music, photo, and play games, and the games are better than DS's. I have a PSP and I very rarely play my DS. But if you do get a DS, get Animal Crossing: Wild World, New Super Mario Bros, and MarioKart DS

Answer 5

If you're shopping for a portable I would recommend the DS.  It all really depends on what you're into and what you want to play.  Alot of the DS games I've played can be beaten fairly easily, but are difficult to actually master & get 100% complete. Take for instance Elite Beat Agents, It's a fun little rythm game that you use the touch screen to hit targets along to the music.  It has 2 hidden difficulties to unlock, along with hidden songs after gaining so many points.  There are also mario games, New Super Mario Brothers, same classic game play with some new elements & powerups. The Classic N64 game Mario 64 has been translated to the DS as well.  Or you could go with a more traditional game like Contra 4. ^_^  You can unlock characters, challenges, the original Contra from the NES.  

Answer 6

You should spend alot of time playing if you buy the right games.

Games that will challenge you could be:

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

The World Ends With You

Final Fantasy IV

Sonic Rush

Mario Games?

Mario Kart DS

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (great RPG)

Mario Party DS (especially fun in Multiplayer)

Answer 7

You should get a ds they are soooo fun. the wireless communication is awesome and so is the touch screen. it also has pictochat. some good games are pokemon diamond and pearl, mario kart, or pokemon trozei. and a ds is kinda cheap on price, too.
