Nintendo DS (cheap games).

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Just wanted to tell the DS people that Axelmusic.com has really great prices when it comes to games for the DS (and probably the PSP as well).
They add a small fee for shipping, but it's still really cheap (even cheaper than www.play.com!).
The only downside is that the game comes in a black box, instead of a white one.

I've bought four games from Axelmusic, and everything from payment to receiving the package has worked wonderfully.

The latest game I bought was Mario Kart DS.
It's the first game I've played online on the DS and boy is it sweet! :)

Nope. I have a wireless router, so my DS goes online on the interwebs rays :)

And I haven't received my Wii yet. I even cancelled the order.
Two weeks ago I thought "So, I've been waiting for like four months. I think I'll cancel the **** and just wait a little while longer and see where I can get it the cheapest".
So I went in to the store and said "Yo. I wanna cancel my Wii, and put the money I paid for the pre-order on Final Fantasy XII".
"Okey" the clerk says "What's your name?"
I gave him my name and he took out this big ass pile of papers and flipped through the front pages.
"What did you say your name was? Hm okay... *looks through them again*"
"I can't find your name here... when did you pre-order it?"
I tell him that I pre-ordered it in november, and he gives me a stare like :wtf:
And he flips through a big ******* chunk of the papers, looks through a page and says "Sorry, but we missed/overlooked (?) you".

So yeah... I canceled my pre-order anyway and bought Final Fantasy XII.
I am kinda glad I didn't get my Wii. There's no game for it (as of yet) that I find interesting :)
So I'll just keep my FFXII and my DS (and probably buy cheap games for my Gamecube and Ps2 as well) and see what the future holds for the Wii.

There's loads of games upcoming for it that I want to get, but for the moment I'm in your shoes, because of practical ( my granma too..) and economical reasons.

Have we made a Transfans best of DS top 15 list btw? :) Would come in handy, yes?

Well, I love the following games:

New Super Mario Bros.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Mario VS Donkey Kong 2: March of the minis
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Mario and Luigi: Partners in time
Mario Kart DS

Yoshis Island DS would've been on that list if it wasn't for the horrible sound the babys make when you lose them - and for some levels being really poorly designed.

I also like Animal Crossing Wild World - but I find it down putting that you are "forced" to play it everyday.

I've also played Sonic Rush, but it was so ******* fast that I found it boring :oops:

Magical Starsign was really meh...

There you have it :)

So, nobody'd put Metroid Prime Hunters/Pinball on the list? :) Generally they seem to have some pretty good reviews?

The pinball one in particular seems to be ace. :)
