Hey, do you know if the new redesigned SP has a headphone port on it? I know the original SP model didn't, and it always bugged me.

Sadly, no it doesn't. Same ports as the original SP. You need to get the geeky little headphone adapter, but they only cost at most $5, so its not a huge deal.

Why the hell would you buy a Micro or GBASP2 when the DS isn't that much more expensive and can play both? It has a good line-up going for it. I'll add:

Ouendan (best game)
Super Princess Peach (whenever that comes out here)


btw the DS Screen is better than the original GBASP.

You'd buy the GBASP2 rather than the DS because the SP2 has a much better screen (brighter but mainly with much richer, more saturated colors), and is far better for GBA games. Its obvious that the DS has better screens than the original SP (which completely blew), but not better than the SP2 by a longshot.

And to me there still aren't any exciting games out for the DS at all . . . when people start getting excited about point and tap legal simulations and operating room simulations, which have virtually no replayability, you know they're scraping the bottom for reasons to buy the system. Granted, the PSP releases have been few and far between, but I still see no reason to bother with a DS at all.

:oh_no:
Even if you don't like the DS for whatever screwed up reason you can pick, you can't deny that there are some super high quality games on it. I mean, Advance Wars, Castlevania, and Osu! Tatake! Ouendon are absolute no brainers and beat the crap out of ANY game released for any other portable.

If you can't get excited about those I really wonder what you DO get excited about there Master of Chimps.

I tried them in a local gamestore, and they were really boring. :oh_no: But to be honest with you, simulations and point-n-click games are not of any interest to me anyway, so its not as if I would have liked them to begin with.

Advance Wars: Strategy game, yawn. I love Action RPGs like Baldurs Gate and Champions of Norrath, but not pure strategy or RTS games. Pass.

Osu...blahblah. Described as:

Dance the night away on the Nintendo DS in this quirky Japanese release, from the creators of Gitaroo-Man.

Heavy japanese text, dancing game. I could care less about any dancing games, and since this is import only with heavy japanese text, you're pretty desperate to reach for it as one of the "must haves".

Castlevania: Probably the only one you listed that, of any game on the DS, looks interesting to me. But one game isn't enough, and personally I'd rather see a new GBA Castlevania than a DS one, since the game would look much better on the SP2.

So, if those are your three choices of games that "beat the crap" out of any other handheld game, more power to you; but I think not. :oh_no:

lol, really grasping for straws here. It is a rhythm game and If you read anything anybody has said about the game, it is that you don't need to know any japanese to have fun.

What happened to replaying a game because it was fun? Trauma Center is said to be like an Arcade title almost.

The only reasons I bought the DS were for the superior GBA display and Advance Wars Dual Strike.

Was well worth it in retrospect.

Too true.
The main reason I bought DS is to play GBA game without getting my eyes blind... :envy:
Of course Castlevania and few titles really impresse me enough :)

My backpack has my GBA2 and my DS in it. For GBA games I play them on the GBA2, the screen is better and the aspect ratio is correct. If I want to play Castlevania, I move my hand 3 inches to the right and pick up my DS...problem solved.

Dude if your comparing things side by side take a look at aria of sorrow and then dawn of sorrow.....im sorry the gba cart does not hold a candle to it (no matter what screen you have) the detail on DOS is amazeing

on another note i like the ds screen better for gba much better resolution because of the size of it.

The ds is becomeing a great system.why dont you take a look at final fantasy 3 screen shots

:drool_2:

to awnser thread topic: I would get castlevania dos and kirby canvas curse
