The DS Life: Phosphorescence

Dec 4th 2008 9:48AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
The one that got me was the Atari Lynx II to the left of the pink blob. I had one of those. six months after I got it, i couldn't find games for it anymore.

DS Daily: Will you get it?

Oct 5th 2008 5:19PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
In all honesty, no. the bigger screens do not impress me, the camera seems kinda junky, and I don't need any sort of gadget with an SD slot.

Team 17 boss wary of DSi features

Oct 4th 2008 9:33AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
as much as I like the DS lite, I gotta say... I'm not impressed by the DSi, and don't plan on buying one. I can see the appeal of an SD slot if you play homebrew games, but there are already ways to do that with the existing hardware.

DS Daily: Remembering our old friend, the GBA

Sep 12th 2008 6:35AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
one of my sister's friends got the GBA when it came out - i took a look and decided against it because of the dim screen. It was the GBA SP NES Edition that I wound up buying when it came out.

my fondest memory with it was staying up all night playing Harvest Moon.

DS Daily: Please enter your name

Aug 30th 2008 2:21PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I have 3 different naming schemes I use, depending on whichever seems most entertaining at the time.

1) main character is Morose or one of my other assorted nicknames, other people keep the default names
2) whole cast gets names from a book I enjoy. The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a frequent choice, with Zaphod as the hero.
3) if the game supports long enough names, I use favored spiritous beverages. Johnny Walker, Drambuie, Bacardi, etc.

DS Daily: In the public eye

Aug 24th 2008 4:18PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I don't play in public much, as I rarely have much sit-around-and-wait time when I'm out and about. I sometimes play at the laundromat, but whenever I look up frommy game I'm always surrounded by a small army of children, just staring at me.

I'm used to getting stared at by little kids - I think my beard scares them or something. It's the fact that they congregate around me that creeps me out, and i don't think it's the DS attracting them, as they do the same thing when I read a book.

DS Daily: Pick three

Aug 17th 2008 1:05PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Chibi Robo: Park Patrol, and Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Iwata: iPhone not a threat

Jul 23rd 2008 10:59PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
i agree with all the comments above. while the ipod and iphone are nice for little bursts of gaming when you have a few spare minutes, they aren't made for gaming, and i have both devices in front of me and want to game, I'm reaching for the DS.

DS Daily: Redesign disappointment

Jul 19th 2008 4:18PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
i would not be suprised if Nintendo has a redesign in the works, but I am not suprised that, if there is one, we're not seeing it yet.

The main reason why I didn't expect a redesign is because it is, in some ways, too early: why go through all the hassle of trying to convince people to buy a redesign when the customers are still happy with buying multiple DS Lites to get the system in different colors? they've completely bypassed the need to sell games and gone straight into making collectible consoles with the various editions of the DS Lite.

E308: Kirby loves super stardom

Jul 15th 2008 10:53PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
i have always enjoyed the Kirby games ever since I first got into the franchise on the GBA. the adorable graphics, the whimsical music, the gameplay, and the idea that Kirby, as the defender of Dreamland, gets to eat other inhabitants of Dreamland to take their power and save the kingdom from... er.. whatever he's saving it from this time around! Cute, cartoony, and cannibalistic. definitely a winner in my book.
