Guess im just going to have to just play some point and click games for awhile.

I think it's a good game - I liked the twist about controlling the babies seperately (although I'm still wondering how it's possible that the babies start at Level 3, and Mario and Luigi start at level 1...)
The game is quite linear, though - there's not a lot of doubt as to where to go and what to do.
The game can be completed in 20-30 hours. I think Superstar Saga was somewhat longer, but it's been a long time since I've played it, so I might not be remembering that correctly.

this reminds me that I still have to beat SSS. Also I noticed Tales of Phantasia and Tales of LEgendia came out a while ago. I'll have to pick those up soon if Grandia III doesn't drop in price any time soon. I loved Grandia I but the spells needed work and Grandia II had proper working spells and such with the same great battle sstem only to have every character except Ryudo completly bland! ack oh well I just hope GIII pulls it all together, tell me what you think if you've played any of those.

Money and trailers
Heh-heh-heh; good point. But it's all just so shinyyyyyy...Jafar wrote:People with no money shouldn't watch E3 videos.
Nice to see you around again, Jafar.
Angelus, I've been meaning to get a DS Lite, but one of the main reasons would be to use it for ScummVM aswell as the selection of class games and even try that Brain game. I'm guessing you might experiement and try ScummVM on there, so if you do could you report back to see if it's possible? I mean if you weren't intending to, I wouldn't bother for my benefit as I was just wondering to see if it was possible to run and if it worked okay. I believe you need a flash cart/card (one of the two) but I don't want to buy one and see it doesn't work. And you're a risk taker, let's just hope your DS Lite doesn't follow the same path as my poor Gamecube did.

Haha lol
Yea from what I've read I need a PassMe to flash the DS firmware so it loads hombrew from the GBA port.
I'll be getting the required equipment in a few weeks time so I'll try out ScummVM.
Can't wait to try partners in time, but I think I better finish Superstar Saga first lol!
We went for the white Lite :)

Partners in Time is done well. As Spikey said, the colours are bright and sharp. Overall, it doesn't look enormously better than Superstar Saga, but you can see the subtleties that the DS can support.
The way the story unfurls is well done. It goes between the top and bottom screens very well. It's good being able to control the Babies on the Top Screen and the Adults on the bottom.
I'm happy I got a DS. I'm enjoying this, and I look forward to Final Fantasy III and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass!

Geeeeeez...
Aw, don't mention that! I can't afford to think about that right now! The last game...the last release and we've finally caught up to Japan...Vertius wrote:...I look forward to Final Fantasy III...

No! I must resist!
Anyways...as I recall, Angelus, you were a huge PSP supporter not to long ago. Have you jumped ship completely or are you just straddling the fence now?
Darn you Europeans and your black DS lites! This is the first time that I've ever seriously considered importing any gaming hardware/software... Of course, none of this really makes any difference until I can afford that anyway, but someday..... Europe will be one black DS lite lighter... Mwahaha.
By the way, how easy is it to come by black (or any color) DS lites there anyway? Awhile back, the headlines on IGN DS were that a shipment of black DS lites were stolen... does that make them herder to find?
