Slog - Comments on Re: A Confession. http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/re_a_confession_1 Erica's in love with a car. I'm in love with my new pink Nintendo DS Lite. Like Erica, my love is also wrong. Very, very wrong. Because of my pink Nintendo DS Lite, I was up until four o' clock in the morning playing "Yoshi's Island." I love the way the little baby Mario cries "Yoshi!" and I love how Princess Peach flies through the air with a pretty pink parasol. Baby Donkey Kong is my favorite; he can climb vines and do this cool power stomp thing to knock out enemies. VrooomSTOMP! I'm up to level three, but I...

I have been playing my DS (not a lite, since I bought it so long ago) and I can't stop playing Tetris. I get in some kind of magic Tetris zone and then no one can talk to me.

I'm thankful Nintendo made it so we could play Gameboy Advance games on the DS, there are some great GBA games.

I second the rec for gamefaqs.com, it'll tell you everything you need to know about any video game.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is one of the best DS games I've played, it surprised me how much I enjoyed it.

Still the best thing on the system.

and! The new pokemon came out the other day, and the secret is that all the gamers play it because they're AWESOME even if originally meant for 5 year olds.

I've also heard really great things about Hotel Dusk: Room 215, but it's apparently hard to find so I haven't played it yet. The whole thing is very very plot/narrative driven and seems to take itself very seriously, but I guess it's justified.

Just some ideas...

How has nobody mentioned Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Objection!

I've 100%'d it twice now. *flexes nerd muscles*

Although right now I'm completely addicted to Puzzle Quest, and I suggest everybody else do the same.

Phoenix Wright is made of awesome.

There are just tons of great games for the DS.

But I think Electroplankton is even great sober. Pink Godzilla has a few copies of the deluxe Japanese version with two extra levels. Or at least they did when I bought a copy last week.

And I agree, gamefaqs is pretty useful.

I have a pink DS on which I tend to play nothing but Kirby Squeak Squad constantly. I am addicted and I love it very much. My only problem with Nintendogs is that I do a lot of my playing at bus stops, and it's a little embarassing yelling into the Game Boy out in the open. Elite Beat Agents is brilliant, and I would like Super Princess Peach a whole lot more if I could get through the damned opening to the third boss where you're supposed to hit all the ghosts...frustrating.

I am looking forward greatly to the new Pokemon, though.
