If you've got nothing else to do today (once I started it I couldn't put it down...) play 999.

Wait, did 999 have multiple covers? My copy of it doesn't look like that.

I want to get my memories back for Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Sky, but i cant find a decent deal anywhere.
Ebay really scare me.

Really? That's interesting. Will have to google to find original cover art.
You can find complete in box used copies on amazon for 24.99 plus shipping on amazon.

999!
Picked up a few goodies for cheap this weekend, all CIB:
Kirby Superstar Ultra
Bowser's Inside Story
Henry Hatsworth
Bust-A-Move DS
Cooking Mama
and
Rhythm Heaven
I love the DS. Its limited 3D capacity forced developers to be creative, and a lot of games have that genuine charm that has been missing since the 16-bit era.

Definitely jump into 999. It's one of the best visual novels of all time and one of the most unique DS experiences IMO.

I copped DQ5 in a Best Buy sale for $10 after hearing it was the best DQ game.
IIRC it was definitely the most expensive, but thankfully got reprinted.

I've been very bad. Recently purchased DQIV,DQV,DQVI and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. I'm nearing to completing my DS wishlist. Still need to add Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and Revenant Wings. Also imported a copy of Puyo Puyo, the 20th anniversary version. I'm considering grabbing the Taiko no Tatsujin series since I've been addicted to the 3DS installments.
I already got all of those, thankfully. Rocket Slime is the only DQ game I'm missing. I think I have all the FF games for the platform, also.
A Taiko game isn't a bad idea, actually. I see there are three of them on DS, lol. Any one of them that stands out?

The third Taiko DS game is amazing! It has a full RPG story mode and fun songs.
You can even get costumes to dress up the drum dudes.

They're all pretty comparable aside from different throwaway single-player story modes (or a lack thereof, in the case of the first). I'd just recommend checking out song lists for each of them and seeing if any strike your fancy, or choose whichever is cheapest because they're all kinda pricey.

Loving this thread so far i never knew it existed, DS is probably my most loved & played console out of everything i own. Been avidly playing from the very launch in Japan right upto now, the library is just so diverse there is literally something in there for anyone, there are probably about 20 games left that i still would like to own but then that's pretty much it i have nearly everything i have ever wanted for it. The journey sure has been fun, might concentrate on the weird accessories that were released for it over the years.
This is quite an old pic but it covers about 80% of the collection, i have bought a lot more imports for it since then.
Detailed pics can be found here but there are about 10 or so games i haven't added yet.

I was hoping you'd show up.
Oh gosh if I had known that much stock would be put in my opinion I wouldn't have called the story modes "throwaway," ahaha. People seem to like them but they really don't do a whole lot for me.
The second game has a single player mode where you do a bunch of different challenges and boss battles, the latter of which are cool. The third game has an RPG mode, which can be kinda neat, but I found it to not a whole lot more than a novelty and the RPG part didn't amount to much. In the end I played through both of them once to unlock all the songs and never really looked back. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in then it's worth looking into.

Very nice, I'll start with the third one then. I love dressing up the little drums!
I only have the mainline DQ games so far, and I have Final Fantasy IV and III. Those I think we're the hardest to find at first in sealed copies. Then I'll start getting the spin-offs. I'm not really going for a complete DS collection, just the ones that I'll be interested in replaying down the road
Front row on the right in the big pic, got the collectors edition as it deserved a purchase
I see it! Excellent =]

You might find this page useful then as it lists the passwords to unlock some exclusive costumes that you can't get any other way. Also unlocks the McDonalds colaboration song.

Thanks! That link you gave me is great!
I just tried looking around all my usual shopping spots and it seems to be quite difficult finding any of the Taiko games. I'll have to keep searching around!

I never knew this thread existed!
I'm going to post here to bookmark it so that I can read through the thread when I have some time. The DS is my favourite gaming platform ever and I'd love to read and discuss the system with other fans and collectors.

Guys, is Sands of Destruction worth picking up? I think I read somewhere it was a decent game, can´t remember where though.
I bought a few DS games this month, but haven´t received them yet so no pics. Managed to grab:
- brand new Hotel Dusk (without that horrible orange label on the cover)
- brand new The World Ends with You
- CIB Time Hollow
Next month I wanna get Final Fantasy Four Heroes of Light and maybe Sands of Destruction. At some point I might get both FF 3 and 4, but I´d rather play them on the PSP so not sure if I´m really picking them up, might as well pick up Revenant Wings and Tactics A2 instead.

To have as part of a collection of DS RPGs or RPGs with interesting premises? Definitely.
If you're actually gonna play it, ehhhh...
It's not very good. Worth a look at best, probably.
Can you guys recommend a game that is both cooperative and competitive? I'm thinking of an RPG that let's you venture with other players but also has a death match mode. Any genre is welcome but prefer RPGs. Phantasy Star Online is like this but I couldn't find if Phantasy Star 0 had a death match mode. Thanks in advance!
I'm playing through Retro Game Challenge from the beginning since I didn't finish it all those years ago and have forgotten most of it.
It's stupid how charming and great this game is. The sequel is excellent as well; that's what prompted this revival for me.
Also, found Moon for the DS at my local store complete for $4. Score!

Can anyone vouch for Megaman Zero Collection on DS? I believe it's a cart with four of the GBA games on it. I've never played a Megaman game before, but keen to try one.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Zero Collection is great but I'm not sure it's the right place to start with Megaman. You should start with the classic hexalogy first (or if you wanna save time, go for 2, 3 and 5).
Anyway, your call.

One of my favourites! Hope you'll enjoy it.
The control scheme was kind of dizzying to me with the first person view panning with blurriness and controlling it via a bird's-eye view with the touch screen. Playing Yoshi's Island DS instead. Don't hate me. I'll try it another time when my eyes are less sensitive (migraines and all that).
Oh, no problem, haha. Sorry about your migraines. Hope you'll have an easier time with YIDS!
Thank you; so far so good! I played some of the game years ago but don't remember it too well. I played the first couple levels last night and really enjoyed them. I think it'll help my enjoyment a bunch that I've now played YI and YNI.
I added a bunch of games to my collection over the last few months and I said I would list them here once they arrived, so:
Solatorobo, Touch Detective, Bangai-O Spirits, Chibi-Robo Park Patrol, Shiren The Wanderer, Rune Factory, Diddy Kong Racing DS, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Lost in Blue, Metroid Prime Pinball & Prime Hunters, Umihara Kawase Jun Second Edition kanzenban, Trauma Center- Under The Knife, Ouendan, Mega Man ZX & ZX Advent, Mario Slam Basketball, M&L Partners In Time, Final Fantasy IV, Advance Wars Dual Strike, Puzzle League DS, The Legendary Starfy, Time Hollow, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, Prey The Stars, Glory Days 2
So yeah, the collection is far from complete *but* I can definitely see the horizon, haha.

Not actually that important
Is it ok to post pics of my collection?
I'd like people commenting on it, I feel it's pretty good but still missing tons of games... plus ones I've sold like an idiot ie both Advance Wars, Mario 64 DS, Retro Game Challenge, Ketsui DS, Elite Beat, Ouendan and many others
Holy shit so jelly

All right I'm on it
Yeah I know -_-
Edit: wait, Solatorobo is considered good? I can snap it up new for 15 but I thought it was pretty disappointing?
It's defo worth owning. A bit long, and a bit easy, but a unique, beautiful looking, worthy addition to any DS collection.

I know man, read my post again, I once had it
Liked it much better than EBA tooNever owned the sequel tho

Chop Chop was talking about Solatorobo, I think. I only got it because it is so cheap and because a GAFfer made a thread about it, haha.
