DS Reccomendation / Advice Thread

[Mendez]

Alright, so it may make me look like a copy from the other forum sections, but I just posted in another thread asking advice on a few games but realised it wasn't really the right place, and thought this would be the best thing to do without making a thread completely based on me. (Which I don't really like doing)

I suppose the title says it all, just post your DS game reccomendations, or games you need advice on, here. :)

I need advice on these...

Wario: Master of Disguise
I'm dying for some more 2D Wario, but apparently this one's supposed to be no-where near as good as the others, and the touch screen features don't look too good.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Been considering it, but the reviews put me off. It looks like a fun game, I like the concept of it all, and I can get it for £15, so maybe I should just see for myself?

Mario vs Donkey Kong 2
Looks like a decent game, and I can get it for £20, but is it worth investing the money? I've seen some gameplay footage and it does look a bit confusing...

Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2 isn't confusing, in fact, it's extramley eazy, and its more like a platformer then a puzzle game (By the way, the final boss is the best level in the whole game)

Wario however is more complecated, it's also really annoying coz you can't defeat some baddies, you can only stun them, and you attack by touching the touch screen, LAME!!!

I want to know if Adventures of Lolo GB would be worth getting if i already have NES Lolo I WANT MORE LOLO!!! Sorry to bring up gameboy games Mendez I hope you don't mind:D

Wario: Master of Disguise (DS) is just like the new 2D-Castlevanias and 2D-Metroids.
Many things to collect. Touchscreen controls take a bit to get used to but works fine for me.
It's a platforming/adventure. I can't say for sure how good it is because I got it recently.

Adventures of Lolo (GB) is a really good game. Lolo-Fans know what to expect. I think it's a bit better than the NES version.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is a big RPG! Millions of items, Pokémon to catch and unlimited random levels. This is a quite good Pokémon game. It's definately worth the money because this game tons of collectables (just like every other Pokémon game). It's by Chunsoft and a Shiren The Wanderer (also available on JP VC) clone.

does it have much colour on the GBA?
Also does it have different levels then the ones on the NES lolo?

[Mendez]

Thanks people :)

I'm not getting Wario now, the touch screen stuff does sound a bit off and it sounds completely different to the other games.

Pokemon and Donkey Kong I'm still considering, I'll probably get Donkey Kong. How good's the Wi-Fi?

[Pocketim]

Wifi on Mario VS Donkey Kong 2 allows you to download new levels that other people have made with the level editor. I can't get wifi working on my DS (even though I have it working fine on my wii:() so I don't know much about it

[Pegasus]

Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 is a fun game that can be quite challenging, especially when you're trying to get gold stars when completing a sub-level. I certainly wouldn't consider it a platformer. Strangely enough, the "Yippee!" the mini Marios let out when entering the exit gate reminds me an awful lot of Lemmings.

As said, the Wi-Fi ability is only used for uploading and downloading user-created levels.

Pokeon mystery dungeon is one of my favourite games ever

I think the GBA emulates the Super Game Boy version without the exclusive frame that you have on a tv screen.

The SGB version didn't have much colors at all. Every stage had the same color sheme. Yeah, it was a bit bland but when it was new it was great because there weren't many Super Game Boy colored games out then. But the cutscenes (pics) and ending were nicely colored.

And yes, it has completely different levels.

No... Sorry:p is there any other stores with specials on Mario VS DK?

I dunno, didn't get it though. I'll be getting it on Friday now if I do get it.

I don't understand though, some video's show Mario being controlled, other's being completely touch screen. If the touch screen bits make up a large chunk of the game then I'm not as sure about it, I thought you control Mario right through it..

Maybe some videos are showing the first mario vs dk game?

If you can't find the game in the shop you can get both from amazon under £20 ( I just checked)
