Metaforic unveils new anti-copying measures for DS games

May 14th 2009 9:40AM (Joystiq)
I do the opposite. I have hundreds of games on my DSTT, 95% of which I've never even played once. I like having a large collection of games available to try. If I play a game and I like it, I buy it new (unless it's out of print in which case I just say "eh, what are ya gonna do?").

Without a DSTT I'd be buying only used games, because who wants to pay $30+ for a game that might suck? I've been burned too many times on other platforms with highly reviewed games that were not enjoyable.

So yes having the DSTT has absolutely caused me to spend money on games I wouldn't have otherwise. Having said that, I bet I'm in the minority and most people just like stuff that's free.

I would just like to point out:
a. the first "game", by all accounts, sucked (see 300 negative reviews on Amazon).

I have them both, comparing the two is silly of course. However, let me just say that Crossbow Training is darned fun. Surprisingly fun. If you don't have it, get it.

Maybe your little plan works great if you live in New York City, but in most areas of the country, even high tech university towns, you have a "choice" of one ISP.

Haven't read Life in Hell in many years. He renamed it to "Life is Swell"?? Um.. lame.

Surprise! Nintendo dismisses WiiWare sales threshold as 'rumour and speculation'

I tip my hat to you you, Bowser Rogozhin. Worst simile I've read all week. That takes some doing.

Virtua Tennis 2009 serves up Wii MotionPlus support

@Manly Mcbeefigan (Mr. ESC)

I have Sega SuperStars Tennis and Mario Power Tennis Wii, and the Mario one is a lot more fun. So if you like the Sega one do yourself a favor and pick up the Mario.

(and don't believe the bad reviews that say flaky controls kill the game - they are a weensy bit flaky but it's still way fun).
