    Pokemon Black/White are tons of fun. They're way ahead of Pokemon D/P. I basically stopped playing those games once I finished story mode.

    But since both the game and my 3DS offer WPA wifi, I'm having tons of fun battling other people and raising pokemon.

    Now all I want is a 3D Pokemon Colloseum esque game on the 3DS. That would be awesome. I know the 5th generation was just released but I really can't wait to find out what Game Freak will do with the 3DS.

    Suggestions for a great DS RPG guys?

    Definitely grabbing The World Ends With You first this week. After that, which Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, and Zelda game should I get, considering there's a few titles of each series on the DS? Thanks!

    Well, Tales of the Abyss should be coming to the 3ds, next year in america though :/ . The tales games are some of the best games imo out there, definately one you should look for. Other than that, I'm not sure many other RPG's that are on the 3ds.

    Hmm...it's difficult to select one out of those three.

    Zelda games are always good.

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days was just epically awesome. It was really emotional and it's a proper kingdom hearts game. I highly recommend it.

    And then there is Dragon Quest IX which is simply amazing. I got lots and I mean lots of playtime from that game. The amount of options there is with building your party, choosing their skills and jobs is unsurpassed on the DS imo.

    Oh and there is also Dragon Quest Monsters Joker. I bought that game because I had Dragon Warrior Monsters for the GB Color and I loved it (hence my name). I loved this game too. Lots of things to do what with breeding new monsters and befriending new monsters plus trying to get good moves on them. The world is amazing too.

    So I say, get all of those games :p

    Hm, I see. That doesn't make it easier! Hahah, alright then, it's good knowing that they're all competent games. I'll get TWEWY first and then a KH game since that series is my favorite PS2 games of all time, plus favorite RPGs. I'll check out both 365/2 Days and Re:coded, and see which one I'd like more. Thanks. I might pass on DQ since I'm actually not a fan of turn-based JRPGs.

    There's a report going on that says Nintendo will use the 4.1 version of the Netfront browser which includes flash, html5 and other features.

    What do you guys think about this? I haven't really used a Netfront browser other than the PSP and that one sucks badly, although it was apparently using an outdated version, but I'm still not sure.

    The other reason I'm unsure is I don't think I want flash on the 3DS. It would do more harm than good imo.

    It must be better than the opera browser Nintendo currently uses which kind of sucks. Flash will be good if 3D youtube videos are watchable. The PSP browser did suck but that was because of the awkward controls, the touchscreen on the 3DS should fix that problem.

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    DEFINITELY get The World Ends With You... It's by far one of my favorite portable games EVER.

    After that, I hear that 258/2 Days is pretty awesome, and I freaking love the Mario and Luigi games, which I would HIGHLY recommend as well. Final Fantasy IV on the DS is a great RPG as well, although a bit higher in price than most DS games these days.

    And while we're on the topic of DS games, how are the Shin Megami Tensei games on the DS? I've seen gameplay of both, but I want some input from you guys if any of you have played them.

    So... what do you think Nintendo's going to do about the Playstation Vita? It costs as much as the 3ds, and is more advanced. Price drop maybe? If they did I might be more eager to buy one. If not... Well, I'll just wait till the Vita comes out.

    The bike game is boring IMO. How do you play it anyway?

    Never played Excitebike before? It's easy. A to accelerate and B to engage turbo. You use turbo in key places to go faster but you can't use it a lot or you will over heat.

    Just checked out the store. Looks pretty cool from what I can see so far. I see quite a few familiar iOS titles around, heheh. Might check some of these games out. Weee, 3D Pokedex xD.
