I can't find OoE anywhere in the UK (new). It was apparently £4.98 on the Game website a while ago, but it's out of stock now. Any tips?

You can get it from Play.com, but it's £20.MarshMellow96 said:
Kinda random question to bump a thread with, but I felt this was the best place to ask.
Is there a site where I can order a bunch of thin US black DS cases? (or even blank 3DS cases would be aces) The cases we have here for DS games in Europe suck balls, and I'd like to replace mine (okay, too much time on my hands
). I've tried eBay but no joy.

Holy crap. HELP!!! @_@
Practically missed the whole DS generation, got a 3DS recently and I don't know where to begin.
I think it's best to ask for reccomendations for a Professor Layton Game, a Pheonix Wright game, and RPG's in general atm.
Games I've already ordered.
Pokemon Silver
Pokemon Black
Elite Beat Agents
New Super Mario Brothers

The first Phoenix Wright is good, I haven't played the others or any of the Professor Layton games though. I'd also check out 999 along with those. As for RPGs I recommend The World Ends With You, Dragon Quest IX, and Radiant Historia, I would also recommend Devil Survivor but there's an enhanced 3DS port coming out.Steroyd said:

Actually, I'd suggest to get Dragon Quest V (and/or DQIV) first since it just got a new shipment (plus it is better than DQIXSteroyd said:
), it goes for as low as $24 on Amazon which is amazing considering how expensive it has been for a long, long while. DQIX won't ever get high in price, so it can wait imo.Worthintendo

Get Okamiden now, Pokemon Black later. I imagine Pokemon will be rather easy to track down later on, Okamiden, not so much.zoner said:

I would recommend Pokémon Black. I hadn't enjoyed a mainline Pokémon game since Gold way back on the GBC, but Black/White knocked it out of the park for me. Excellent titles.

Wow great thread! I've just added over 30 games to my wishlist

hmm awesome thread! i kinda really want DQ heroes: Rocket Slime now. Didn't i see they were making part 2 or was that DQ joker or some other.

That was Joker 2. I wasn't a fan of the first one, so not really looking forward to the sequel.NeededSleep said:
On a semi-unrelated note, I found a copy of Tetris DS today. I'm pretty psyched. I know in some areas people see it pre-owned in stores all the time, but I never see it in my area. It was 30 bucks, but it literally looks like it just came out of the shrink wrap.
I'm inching ever closer to acquiring all the games I've been trying to find. Still trying to find a copy of Meteos, if you can believe it. Yeah, I could buy the cartridge used, but all my games MUST have the box and instructions.
At any rate, my collection has gotten huge. I think I'm up to 80 now.

I was in Gamestop earlier and saw a used copy of Front Mission for the DS. $7.99. Worth it for that price? Any good?

Well i ended up just getting Soul Silver. Fun so far!

I'm here to re-recommend Picross 3D because it's dirt cheap nowadays and, with 350+ awesome puzzles, slick interface, addictive as fuck, it's practically the best game on the system you can find at that price. It was already worth it at full price so drop your weekly Blu-ray purchase and buy that instead!

Where have you found it dirt cheap now? Everywhere I see it, it's still $20.
Also, I just picked up a complete used copy of Lunar Knights in very nice condition for only $7. I also am thinking of picking up Legacy of Ys I&II...is it any good? The graphics look kind of terrible. Not a fan of the 3D look, wish they kept the sprites.

I need your help!
linear action-adventure-platforming, I really feel like playing a game similar to classic Castlevanias, Mega Man style would suffice too. I really want it to be linear and has action/adventure elements. (I got Dragon Sword, but it was really poor, really easy, everything average, horrible story, etc). NO shooter, so no contra, etc.
linear rpg game, like Silmeria. I want a FF 13 style linear rpg.
(I recently started playing DMC3, it really got into my head, and I have this URGE)
soccer game: is there a decent soccer game on DS?
decent racing: I got grid, but the cars were like little solid boxes, mario kart handles much more elegantly.
no DSi ware please.

Suikoden Tierkreis, Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy remakes, Golden Sun Dark Dawn.
i want to second (or third or fourth) the recommendation for spiderman web of shadows. i picked up a used copy since new copies are a little pricey at the moment. great title. i totally ignored the spiderman ds releases and i shouldn't have in this case. nice little metroidvania basically. lots of fun. i think it's hilarious the way spidey runs. check youtube for gameplay videos to see what i mean. some people hate the animation but it think it's kind of hilarious. anyway, i have heard that the ds version of shattered dimensions (or whatever it is called) is also a spidey metroidvania. think i'll pick it up soon.

I want them to be really linear, dunno why, but my mind needs it, metroidvanias are not linear
is web of shadows linear?
are they linear? a bit of open worldishness is OK, but chrono trigger is not ok.
thanks for the info and recommendations

i don't know. i have heard it is a metroidvania like web of shadows but i don't know as i haven't picked it up yet. if it's as good as web of shadows, then yes it is. i can only speak on web of shadows though.
i do know that it is a 2d title and nothing like the ps3, 360, and wii versions from what i've seen.

Nice.. looking for some games that are cheap to fill a hole in my 3DS play time.. Bangai-o on the 3DS d-pad is nice...sold my mario 64 but not sure I want to get it again as Mario 3DS coming out..sorry kinda Derailing DS thread
as no DSIware walking fiend try cave story I got it on WiiWare and really like it.. kinda metroidvania-ish but a great game and nice...still need to complete it i got a massive back log..
also you want linear platform with action, NSMB DS?
walking fiend
Member
I have cave story on my PC, and really like it, but since I gave up playing on PC some years ago, I find it really hard to seat on a bench and play.
NSMB DS is not enjoyanble for me, I don't like either MK or NSMB on DS, unlike those on the Wii. They just feel cramped. However, I like Zeldas on DS MUCH more than TP
Your best bet it seems is the Megaman Zero Collection. It's a pretty tough set of games though, but they're linear, have a good story and have some character growth element to them. Plus the collection offers an (very) easy mode if you think the games are too hard.walking fiend said:
As for RPG, I really enjoyed FF: 4 Warriors of Light, but be sure to look into the game first 'cause some didn't enjoy it very much.
And for Soccer, the winning eleven games are ok I guess..

Ok, maybe DQs are too "open" but Suikoden may fit your necessities.
The 4 Heroes of Light is also very linear, there's a worldmap but not too open, like "go to town A to dungeon B to town C to dungeon D".
Nostalgia may also be a recommendations, you can find it for few bucks. It's very classic, though not excellent.

thanks Boney, I was thinking of getting mega man myself too, but wasn't sure whether they are good or not. I like them hard way, if the other option is super easy
I'll give FF: 4 WoL a try as well, I've learned that i have a taste for charming games rough on the edges.
will check pes, but I remember it not being good, will check for fifa as well (as if there are other options, hehe)
has anyone played inzuma eleven?
Note, I'm not recommending the ZX series for Megaman. They're.. ok... but there's so much stupid, plus they're non linear.walking fiend said:thanks Boney, I was thinking of getting mega man myself too, but wasn't sure whether they are good or not.

IE is a good game in my opinion, it has a fresh gameplay (i.e. more RTSish than jRPGish), and an interesting scenario even if it's a bit easy.

I honestly really enjoyed ZX. Just look at the map on gamefaqs to figure out how to get from area to area. ZXA on the other hand was very awful.

no brainer, I liked it more than TP. Combat is really easy however, boss fights, not boss fights, just too easy. And don't worry about returning to the temple too much, temple is actually one of the more challenging parts of the game, so it is good.Futureman said:
I may look into it, but I think I'll try zero collection first, seems more to my likings
