Nice work there. ;)<br /><br />I share a similar experience with the GBA. I only owned about 8 games for it so you could argue that it was neglected as well, though then again maybe not as the games I do own for it were played significantly. In fact, as great as <i>Mario Kart DS</i> is, I think I prefer <i>Mario Kart: Super Circuit</i> more. How's that for weird? <br /><br />I'll lend you <i>Tetris DS</i> by the way, if you want it. If you do then you can lend me <i>Rhythm Heaven</i> in return.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626684107210848128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083509480143917931.post-14258759772937108302009-07-30T15:06:19.630+10:002009-07-30T15:06:19.630+10:00You remind me of my GameBoy Advance. I loved that ...You remind me of my GameBoy Advance. I loved that system, but I never really purchased too many games for it. At the time, I was just a kid surviving on $10 a week plus a little extra whenever it would come my way. So, with GBA games costing $70 full price, I would usually favour buying something from the PS2 or GCN library. In the end, I think I only ended up buying six or seven games for it, and I owned it since launch.<br /><br />For a brief period I was the same with my Nintendo DS. I had a few games for it, but there wasn't too much I was interested after its initial launch. It was in 2007 when I really started purchasing games for it. All these fantastic titles were being released one after the other, and having a more stable income at the time, I just couldn't help but have a taste of everything the handheld had to offer. That continued well into 2008.<br /><br />I think a lot of it had to do with the fact there wasn't many games being released on the Wii or PS2 that caught my eye, and at the time I didn't have any other console. Of course, and I know I keep referring to it, when I bought my 360 I've sort of shifted my focus towards that system now. The Xbox 360 has given me these massive open-ended worlds to explore, and it has been a step up to what I’m used to on other systems. That said, I am certainly looking forward to several DS games in the future. At the top of my head I can think of Mario and Luigi 3, Zelda: Spirit Tracks and the Pokémon Gold/Silver remakes. Also, recently I found new love for the handheld through Rhythm Heaven. Man I love that game. “Peck you beck, PECK PECK PECK!” :P<br /><br />I’ve also been meaning to check out Professor Layton for a while, as well as Cooking Guide and Tetris DS. I think its time to go on another shopping spree soon!Joseph Rositanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901711944316652763noreply@blogger.com
