Bored with new SC card and DS lite

Llama · August 18, 2006, 12:48:36 AM

so I have had a Ds litre since June 11th and have liked it, I have brain age, Mario kart and the new super mario brothers. I really liked the mario and its almost been the only game I have played.

I just recently got the SC Lite and a 1gb Microsd card. I have been quite impressed with it so far. Im a very remorsfull buyer, I do have some remorse about it. But its been good so far.

Even thogh I just got this SC lite and such I feel quite board with it. Im not sure why, Im just not finding the majority of the game and such appealing.

I had a PSP and got rid of it due to sucky games.

is there anything, I am missing or anything I should play.

There are tonnes of good games. I'm sure if you search it up you'll find a bunch of threads about it.

IMO these games are great to play:
Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney
Trauma Center - Under the Knife
Tetris DS (MUST PLAY, it is one of those games that I thought would be just a crappy remake, but it is great)
Age of Empires - Age of Kings (Pretty good if you have time to play hours and hours worth of battles)
Animal Crossing DS - Wild World (Everyone likes it, except me...)
Mario Basket 3 on 3 (Jap is hard to understand, but game is self explanatory)
Super Monkey Ball - Touch and Roll (Full mini games with friends)
True Swing Golf (Not that great but addictive for some reason...)
Bomberman DS (Classic)

and there are tonnes of GBA games too...

Sword of Mana (A MUST)
Harvest Moon - Friends of Mineral Town (If you're that type of guy)
Golden Sun (Also a must, but I got stuck a couple of times and it was annoying...)

And you should wait like a month before giving up, a bunch of great games are coming out, Starfox in ENGLISH, Mario Basket 3 on 3 in ENGLISH, Harvest Moon in ENGLISH and Legend of Zelda - The Phantom Hourglass is coming soon sometime too, not sure when though...

A problem I noticed with my 1 gig... is I had too many games. Whenever I got stuck or bored in one, I would play another, rather than play through the part I was stuck on to get back to the good stuff. When I got the Supercard Lite, I only sprung for a 512MB card, that really cut down the games on the card. And since I didn't like to keep switching games that were on it, I found myself actually playing through the entire game so once I was done, I DONE it never needed to go back on my card. I'm currently on my second pass through Super Mario Bros to get all the stars, finally finished that last trial in Pheonix Wright (completely F'd up, seriously, whoever wrote that is a genious), and a completed WarioWare save let's me play some mindless minigames when I get in a rut till I get sick of that and go back to my game. There's always good old GBA games too, I just picked up Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced and that's keeping my time as of now.

try checking out the GBC zelda games or NES hacks (the best ones you'll have to patch yourself, i recommend starting with the graphic upgrade patches) of metroid/zelda/final fantasy/mario

if thats too old school, check out Big Brain Academy for the NDS. please be a little more specific about what you're looking for.

MrBananaMan · August 18, 2006, 11:55:18 AM

the reason could be simple: you have as many games as you have ever wanted for a system. now that you dont buy a game every once and a while and cherish it, the fun factor of having the games goes down.

this is also a great way to filter out awesome games/gameplay from bad games.

games that are still fun:
castlevania dawn of sorrow
wario ware touched.
trauma center
pheonix wright ace attorney
electroplankton is fun also but not in the same ways.

we are also getting zelda, harvest moon and many others soon so dont worry.

If you're so remorseful you want to sell, PM me!

Osu! Takakae! Ouendan! = Evercrack of DS Lite!

If you liked the New Super Mario Brothers then you might like Super Princess Peach, though not as good. Don't let the name Princess Peach keep you from playing this great game.

More great games not already mentioned . . .

Lost Magic
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Pirates of the Caribbean
Metroid Prime Hunters
Magnetica

Don't forget to check out homebrew scene too. There should be plenty of stuff to keep you from getting bored.

I have this problem too. It's the fact I have too many games on the cart. So I play it for like a few minutes and then think I wanna play NSMB, then Nanostray. I remember when I was a kid, and my parents would buy me a game every few months. I actually played through the whole game and learned everything you can about the game. With so much choice at my fingertips I never fully enjoy games like I use to. Choice, the bane of our existence.

Dude, I can totally relate. I remember when I was a kid mowing like five lawns to get money to buy a new game for my Atari 2600, and I would get every drop of enjoyment I could get out of each game. There is just something special about paying for a game, the excitement of taking it home and opening the new box, the factory fresh smell, the artwork and manual, and the precious game catridge itself. The satisfaction is intensified when the game turns out to be great and you can proudly add it to your collection. Games seem to be more fun when you pay for them.

damn.. now I know how rich people feels..

Like the others said, too much choice on 1 card can lead to very little enjoyment. When "gaming greed" takes over, you tend to cram all the golden titles on a card and want to play through all of them.

I just chose a game on my card and stick to it, the others will come eventually!! (may 2 or three games at a time played seriously is normal...but don't get "greedy" wanting to play all of them...)

I just play one game seriously at a time... believe me... a "simple" game like Castlevania can be very addictive...!!
The thing I like about the supercard when you get really stuck, you could try another game to get your mind of it for a while...(or get your butt outside and get some exercise!!!)
And on vacations or long travels a DS with a supercard can be a real blessing.
