Re: I got a DS Lite today...
Yeah, I just checked out the prices online. Cheapest I could find was $49.98. Must've been a good game. However, I'm not willing to pay that high a price for a DS game. I think I'll wait on that one and hope Nintendo is smart enough to re-release it in some way so I can buy it for at least $20 less.
However, I'll keep an eye out, just in case I see it somewhere for cheap, and most likely used. But as long as it works I'm good with it, used or not.

Games still "sell out".

Surprised though, that there arent more copies being shipped out. Especially with a game that's really popular.

Sometimes they just don't make more. It was the same with Castelvania: Dawn of Sorrow. They just re-released it in November because they had PoR coming out. Before that it was $50+

Re: I got a DS Lite today...
I really wish they'd re-release the older Castlevania games, either on GBA or NDS (and ideally a collection of the older games, even if they do update the graphics a little). Hell, even a Gamecube or Wii collection with a fair amount would be sweet! I'm not sure if there are rights issues in terms of the Playstation Castlevania games, but even so, it should be possible to release the games Nintendo (or whatever company) has the rights to.
I've always been a Metroid fan, so that was my game series of choice, but I've enjoyed every Castlevania game I've ever played (which is honestly probably half a dozen). I did play the N64 version, and that wasn't as terrible as some make it out to be, but it was hardly worth playing a second time at all (though to be fair, if I played a Metroid game like that, I'd probably be one of those extremely disappointed, hardcore fans *****ing about it to their friends or on a message board).

Re: I got a DS Lite today...
Well, I know Symphony of the Night is getting a X-Box live release, but I'd love a DS or GBA release of say 1-4 on one cart. I've never gotten to play 3 and I've wanted to since I read a review of it when i was a wee tyke...

Re: I got a DS Lite today...
I remember playing it as a kid...all I really remember was you could play as Alucard. I used to have Castlevania 1 & 2. I only played Castlevania 3 a few times, since it was my buddy's and we were usually too busy playing one of several Mario or baseball games, Off-Road, or Marble Madness. I don't think I ever got past the first or second level. I also had one of the GB Castlevania games, whichever one it was that had Sonia Belmont.
I played Symphony of Night at a friends, as well as the N64 version. So that's maybe a third, a fourth of all the Castlevania games?

Re: I got a DS Lite today...
I got the DS browser today. I have to say I felt like a bit of a retard paying $25 for a web browser, but I felt slightly redeemed after finding that it also comes with some hardware in the form of a memory expansion thingee (which apparently can be used with some games but I'm not sure I get how).
The browser is based on Opera and seems to work well. I haven't tried going to any rich media sites so I don't know how it handles Flash and other things, but so far everything I've looked at has displayed correctly.
It seems a little slow, but I don't believe it's the browser and if I had to guess I'd say it was due to memory limitations in the DS. The PSP browser has similar problems.
But it's a cool little function and makes the DS much more useful to me.

If you're already logged into a hotspot, you just go there and use the browser.

The DS has built-in wifi. If you have an Internet connection but no wifi you can get a Nintendo wifi adapter thingee that plugs into the USB port on your computer.

From E3, Nintendo has shown a crossword game coming out for the DS. Definetly gonna grab that. And Mario Party DS likely as well. Will also likely be getting the Zelda Phantom Hourglass game, too.
I am so jazzed for Phantom Hourglass. Can't wait.
Wonder what's so special about the crossword puzzle. Is it supposed to be better than the New York Times Puzzle game? I have that...it's pretty good, but pretty hard.
Did anyone else get the web browser?
