I’ve become entirely addicted to my Nintendo DS-Lite lately, squandering at least an hour or so on most nights trying to slay zombie cleaning ladies in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, or otherwise trying to pry the little bugger out of Carole’s Mario-Manipulating fingers. So far, I’ve accumulated quite a little stack of treasures. Here are the games I’ve picked up so far:
- Castlevania - Portrait of Run: great, excellent, fantastic game. Love the character swapping and the old-school platformer style. Much fun.
- New Super Mario Brothers: Looks very fun, but I haven’t been able to play much due to my DS-hijacking wife. On the plus side, that gives me some time to play Twilight Princess on the Wii.
- Brain Age: Apparently, my mental age is something like 67 years old. Not good.
- Super Mario 64: Looks great, haven’t played it yet. Look forward to catching up with 3d Mario with some travel I have coming up soon.
- Elite Beat Agents: Played this one for a few minutes. Pretty innovative and fun. Want to try this one out some more as well.
- Final Fantasy III: Only played this for a little while so far, but I have high hopes for it.
- Super Mario Kart Racing: I loves me some go-karts.
- Yoshi’s Island II: Another one I bought for Carole. She claims this one has too much “button pushing.” I’ve yet to pass judgement on the Egg-Master.
Games I’ve ordered, but have yet to play:
- Super Princess Peach: Uh, this one’s for Carole too. Yeah, that’s it.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: sounds interesting.
- Trauma Center - Under the Knife: Because anyone who can operate with a d-pad the size of a midget chicken nugget deserves to be called doctor.
- Animal Kingdom – Wild World: Uh, this one’s for Brighton. Yeah, that’s it.
All hail Nintendo, King of the Destruction of Productivity.
