Might As Well Face It, I’m Addicted to DS
Posted by rutang5 on February 9, 2007
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.

Animal Crossing has got to be one of the lamest games ever. Do you have a real actual life where you do stuff? Well thats better than Animal Crossing. I picked up the cube version since blaire was in love with the ds version. So you like do errands for people so you can pay off your debt to Nook, and get new furniture for your house. Seriously, thats like the whole game. I played for like a week and was way bored.
