    I'm glad how everyone is so biased and prejudiced that they aren't even listening to anything I've said.

      I'm not being biased. I am explaining my opinion based on my personal experience.

        Re: IMHO: DS is the best console of all time.

        While I don't like games that are mainly touch screen related, I can't help but agree that the DS is amazing. And just to contradict myself, 2 of my absolute favorite games are mainly touch screen based (Professor Layton, and The World Ends With You), but that's because it fits. Games that try to implement it where it should not belong aren't the ones that I enjoy.

        Anyways, enough about my quirks, all of us DS owners should be very happy with the new game selection coming in the next year: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS), Professor Layton 2 (If you're puzzling needs have not been fulfilled), Golden Sun, Zelda: Spirit Tracks (I'm expecting much hate from this), just to name a few.
        I am either Cold Kitten or T-Force.
        You will never be able to tell which being I am.
        In fact, which one am I now?

          The ds can use more rpg's. I didn't know they were making a golden sun for DS. That will be aweosme. Unless I have to play using the touchscreen.

            Re: IMHO: DS is the best console of all time.

            I just noticed where you are from, Izzy. One of my very best internet friends in the whole world just graduated from K-State last year. Go figure.

            Anyway,

            The DS actually has quite a good selection of RPGs. First, it's got a bunch of very well made remakes of classic Squeenix RPGs (bunch of Dragon Warriors, Final Fantasies, and now Chrono Trigger). It's not like Squeenix hasn't dumped a lot of time into sequels and what not, either, with FFXII Revenant Wings and Tactics Advance 2.

            Then you've got the new Shin Megami Tensei that just got released.

            You've got 3 Castlevania titles. (I know they are platformers as well, but they are still RPG like.)

            Lunar Knights is an excellent RPG, as is The World Ends With You.

            Don't forget Pokemans (you know you still own one.)

            There are more, but those are definitely big ones I'd suggest to anyone. I'm enjoying Suikoden: Tierkris at the moment, so believe me, there are other ones. In fact, I'd have to say that the DS has more RPGs worth playing than any other platform at the current moment.

            Seriously, what are you playing on your PS3? Disgaea 3 is just about it in terms of RPGs. The Hexbox has quite a few more games worth playing, but half of them are better for PC (sorry, guys, but Last Remnant is terrible on the 360 but subsequent patches for the PC one made it worthwhile) or are just genuine garbage.

            The PSP actually has quite a few RPGs worth playing, now that I think about it. Oh well. My PSP is broken, sadly.

              "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
              "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

                  Rhythm Tengoku Gold (Rhythm Heaven in NA and Rhythm Paradise in EU) is still one of the funnest, most addicting games for me.

                  If you haven't played it I highly recommend all of you to do so.

                      Re: IMHO: DS is the best console of all time.

                      I have to agree with the guy, the DS is an amazing handheld device. I do not really buy many games for the DS, but all the games I have bought I am happy with and are quite fun to say the least. It would be nice if the DS had more 3-D games, but I honestly prefer the game to be simplistic and fun, than to be pretty and boring. I have not seen any games (from what I have) that overuse the touch screen, but for the ones I have, it suits the situation quite well. I have not played Henry Hatsworth yet, but I have a puzzle game game called March of the Minis, which is seriously an addicting game (it would have been nice if they had made more levels though). If I compare the DS to the PSP, I would choose the DS anyday. Sure the PSP has better graphics, but who cares if it does (a lot of you probably disagree with this statement), the touch screen is what makes the games more interactive and interesting (without overuse, which I have yet to see).

                          DS is nice, but for me, an RPG gamer, it's really not where it's at.

                          Sure it's got a lot of remakes, but they're mostly bad remakes of games I've already played, or games I don't want to deal with the gimmicks to play.

                          The psp may have a lot of remade RPGs but it's ones I've never heard of, like Legend of Heroes, and they still have more fun RPGs in my opinion.

                          Plus I don't have to worry about it having a gimmick like telling the characters to move or poking them with a stylus. Or totally ruining Disgaea.

                          You shouldn't talk down to people you don't know anything about, acting like you know more and then try to show them up in the forum. That's how you get absolutely no where.

                              A reason the DS can't be compared with the SNES, is because the SNES has a nostalgic factor. You also have the fact that developers were able to focus more on the gameplay, relative to today where games have this rat race to keep up with graphics and experimental genres. What games on the DS can be compared with Zelda, MegaMan, Super Metroid, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Super Mario World, or even Harvest Moon?

                              Comparing apples and oranges in my opinion.

                                I agree with you're eaten post. RPGs are some of the better things out for the DS.

                                That being said no one's said Kirby Canvas Curse which is inventive and awesome.
                                And all touch based for you Izzy.

                                EDIT: I think I'll mention here that when someone says IMHO I get the feeling their an arrogant ass. I mean just put IMO, IMHO is like you're trying to be fancy and British or something. This is nothing against you, cause you don't seem like an arrogant ass, just mentioning it.

                                EDIT2: Lol just read this

The only one you can't compare is Megaman (I think) because the new ones blow hard. Yes most of these are Game Boy Advance games but hey the first two DS models are compatible.
