Discuss everything about the handheld, in here.
I'm currently saving up for Hotel Dusk, I sure hope they make a sequel/prequel of some kind if it is as good as people make it out to be!

Just got Final Fantasy III for it. It´s awesome, but harder than the other FF games.

I'm looking forward to
Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja - a roguelike due at the end of the month.
Currently playing Final Fantasy VI Advance though, but Sabin's blitz skills totally hurt your thumb on the DS Lite d-pad

I gotta pass on FF VI GBA -- does not do the SNES soundchip justice.
Hotel Dusk is great, trying to finish so I can get into Lunar Knights

I'm waiting for Gyakuten Saiban 4 to come out. Probably will get Sekaiju no Meikyuu (Etrian Odyssee) together with it.

I finished Hotel Dusk yesterday, it was really great. I'd love to see more game's like this. I enjoyed Phoenix Wright, but Justice for All wasn't really anything special, and i'd almost like to see Phoenix Wright become a bit more serious, like Hotel Dusk.
On a side note, i have to say kudos to whomever took on Hotel Dusk localization. It's fantastic.

Agreed, it's one of the best-written games I've ever played, period.
It looks like PW3 & PW4 will be a lot more interesting games than PW2 was. I'm really anxious to see which game CoA localizes first, with PW3 not being on DS yet even. If PW4's story isn't that related, seeing as how it's a new main char, I guess PW4 could come first and it wouldn't mess anything up. But I haven't read much about it, don't want spoilers.

Wow, can't believe I didn't catch that anywhere -- can you please link me a news post on that or something? Love to read it.

The "Plead your Case for AA3" Competition was announced at Capcom's official forums, here:
http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=12080
In an interview an employee of Capcom America announced that they would localise 3 before 4. GS4 comes out in Japan on the 12th of April, but it will
not have a dual language option like the previous DS Gyakuen Saiban games have. Even though it has a new main character, it seems like the story has strong connections to Phoenix's Arc.
GS4 Box Art:
Justice for All is commonly thought to be the "darkest" of the three games currently released. That said, although GS3 starts off as what is considered to be the "humourous" game , the story definitely takes a more serious twist later on.
I'm looking forward to the release of Hotel Dusk in April. I've read a lot of good things about it.

I'm putting this in spoilers, since I know some people are trying to avoid any storyline related spoilers, it's only information that Capcom have released to generate interest in the game though.
Also, there's a demo on the official GS4 site of part of the first case here:
http://www.capcom.co.jp/saiban4/saiban4 ... /index.swf It's in Japanese, but there's an English translation here:

O.k., I have FF3, Both Castlevanias, Resident Evil, Super Mario 64, and diddy Kong Racing. I'm going to get Hotel Dusk, and the Phoenix Wright games, and possibly trace memory (Ive heard mixed reviews) Are there any other good games out there? Thanks.

I've never actually managed to hit any of those requiring diagonals -- the NDSL-pad just isn't made for that.

Elite Beat Agents is definitely one of the best DS games -- there are a ton of great ones.
Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, Advance Wars DS, Trauma Center are top tier.
Magical Starsign looks cool; so does Rocket Slime. Feel the Magic was sweet. WarioWare.
And of COURSE New SMB, and Yoshi's Island.

Lunar Knights has yet to be mentioned in this DS topic on a Kojima board. What?
I picked it up a few weeks ago, and i'm really enjoying it. It's similar yet different to Boktai, with a much greater aspect on action than puzzles. And thankfully, i can play this one at night.

It already has its own topic.

Currently I'm just hacking around with the DS hardware. I figure it's more rewarding to learn how to program on a DS because there is NOTHING like watching your newly programmed apps running on gaming hardware
Hotel Dusk is QUITE awesome though.

:shock:
Yeah, supposibly 3 is supposed to be the best one in the series which should more than make up for justice for all's mediocre effort. While i enjoyed justice for all it just didn't seem as great as the original ace attorney 1, in terms of music and cases. Case 4 is what saved justice for all imo. The fourth in the series should be interesting since its being built from the ground up on the DS, so most likely it will be making good use of the ds touch screen etc, much like case 5 in ace attorney 1 (which was made exclusively for the ds version for those who don't know).

I'm going to buy DS soon.
But not just yet, i'll wait for Lunar Knights PAL release.
btw, is the screen much better than in micro game boy? I'm just asking this because i have played boktais with micro and i found out the screen is very sharp quality, but i don't like so much tiny display.

Very slight GS4 Spoilers.
