^ Personally, I think the DS is a HUGE improvement over the older DS "phat". It's just much easier on the eyes and hands...especially after long non-stop use.

I also own a Wii, and I can tell you there are some great games that remind me a lot of the NES, but with more clean graphics. For example, people have commented on the new Wario game to be very NES-like. And, I know there are many more games that are puzzle/logic available on the Wii. I know you said no to the internet, but the Wii also has this service called Wii-Ware that allows people to download games for really cheap and are often described as feeling more old school....like NES/SNES games.
Stars makes a great point here. The Wii has a large variety of games that appeal to all sorts of gamers. The virtual console on the Wii is free to use and shop (all you need to do is to have wifi in your house or buy a ethernet adapeter that Nintendo makes), and the games a relatively cheap.

As for the DS lite, it was such an improvement over the original clunky DS that it almost seemed like a new system. Very sleek frame, compact and light weight, back-lit LCD screen. Its a thing of beauty. To be honest, I had not bought a handheld system since the days of the original Gameboy and Game Gear. I couldn't justify it. This was based on the fact that if I am not home I'm driving somewhere or at work. If I am at home, why would I play a handheld when I have a Wii, NES, and a 360 hooked up in my living room. However, after spending a weekend visiting my brother in Calfornia last year and fiendishly playing on his DS lite, the choice became apparently clear. I needed one of these. I play mine all the time, at home, work, vacation, while I'm waiting for my girlfriend when she is shopping. I also bought a "R4DS" which allows the user to download rom files via the internet and I have the complete NES library in crystal clear graphics on there as well. I'm not trying to come off like a salesman or anything, just sharing all the joy that the DS lite has bestowed unto me . Hope this helps.

I have yet to play Halo 3. I played 1 and 2 a lot and liked them both. I will give it a shot some day for sure. Oh Jero, i picked up a copy of Kameo today for 8 bucks. Thanks for the recommendation




You're welcome

Not only was it delayed indefinitely but there's really nothing else that appeals to me. I'm not exactly a current-gen gamer. I never really fell in love with the whole 3D heads-up thing. I did it to death on the PC with games like Doom II and Quake on the campus lan back in the 90's, and got my fill of the exploration-style games by playing Mario 64 over and over and over.

I'd probably be much happier with a Wii from the sounds of things. Also, I won't be hooking up to the internet with my game console. I don't want to pay more for a game I already bought. That's another problem I have with current-gen stuff: it always seems to come disabled, and you either need to buy a membership to get at everything, or spend hours unlocking stuff.

Sorry, end rant. Perhaps someone can talk me into having her keep the layaway on the system, but all this Halo 3 / Assassin's Creed / Ninja Gaiden "guy games" stuff just won't do it for me. I'm the guy that will play Balloon Fight or Clu Clu Land for hours and be perfectly happy Games: I'm hard to shop for.

I know Jason's gonna scream "DS" right about now. I hope it got better, I tried it in the early days and was tremendously unhappy with the interface. ]]> Anyone have any Xbox 360 game recommendations? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=12776 2008-10-25T00:28:21 -05.00 8bit-sniper 21

I played it for roughly 10 hrs, but never got too into it. That is one I should definitely give another go.

As for Kameo, I did a little reading on it, and the game seems interesting and fun. I will most certainly pick up a copy.
