My Dream Come True

After waiting and waiting I finally know the truth about Nintendo DS Lite.

Yes...


According to lik-sang with just had a hand on with Nintendo DS lite, COMFIRMED that the Lite has "SPRING LOADED BUTTONS!!!"

YES NINTENDO, CLICKING IS FOR A COMPUTER MOUSE!!

Long live the DS!!

Hey look a longer stylus, now I won't feel like I need to clean my teeth with it.
Let there be light, I give you the Nintendo DS Lite Difference.

So how do you light them apples PS(to the)P? Now you're even MORE of a paper wieght. The sad part is that papers it's holding down are probably more fun than the PSP. What are those papers? Homework.

Ten reasons why the DS sucks.

I know what your thinking, "didn't you say the DS owned?" I know, and it does there is just somethings that get to me a bit...

10) Color

I believe that one of the oddest moves Nintendo has done for the system is the colors. While Japan got cool colors like White and Black we got Blue and Red. Childish, not sleek.

9) Compatibility

I love Game Boy, GAME BOY, Not Game Boy Advance, GAME BOY. I don't get it, you have the bottom slot at the bottom of the unit, USE IT. But use it for GOOD games. Games that were on the Game Boy and the Game boy Color.

8) Friend Codes

What is this all about? I have to remember a code longer than some GameShark codes just to play online with my friends. Oh come on. Gamer tags PLEASE Nintendo.

7) Screens

Ever try playing the Nintendo DS outside on a bright summer day. Well, (since I was crazy) I have. The screens go black. So let me get this strait. This Machine has a backlight to improve the picture in the darkness but for some reason screws up in the light.

6) Shape

Ah yes, the shape. Nothing says N-E-S more than this. When I first bought my DS (The one I broke), it came with a demo called "Metroid Prime Hunters: Frist Hunt". I came descover that after 30 minutes of gameplay my hand felt like my frist experience with the Xbox control all over again.

5) Power Button

At first I thought this wouldn't be a big deal when I bought this thing. Well, that's untill I went t school ato least. You see, there are many friends of mine who like to tease me and screw me over when I'm WINNING in a multiplayer game of Mario Kart DS. It's not even like they have to look; it's on the front of the DS. The Power button on the front is like saying, "Press me to piss of this guy, do it, it's easy!"

4) Slickness

If I'm comparing the looks of the Nintendo DS with the one shown at E3, I believe it's obvious that I'd like this one. But the fact of the matter is that the normal people in the world (The people who don't even know E3 exist) are comparing it to the PS(to the)P. I am too. I don't get me wrong, I like the flip idea and all. I just don't like the stupid paint that scatches of on the second week.

3) Lufia!!

And just where the hell is my Lufia game? Neverland company, Natsume, Atlus, Taito, SquareEnix, Who ever owns the Lufia games, Listen to me. The Nintendo DS is more than able to play a 2d RPG. Make another Lufia, come on it's been like what? 5 years? Or at least remake the second. Do it for me, the one Lufia you have left... whoever you are.

2) Crappy Ports

Nothing pisses me off more than crappy ports, actually something does, that why this is number 2. EA, Ubisoft, THQ... Why must you even make ports? What's the purpose? Sometimes we don't even like the original deal, so why even make a port? I'm looking at you EA. As for Ubisoft, how do manage to screw up not one but four of the biggest game franchises. Prince of Persia, Spinter Cell, Rayman, Lunar: Destroied. How about THQ eh? How do you get the nerve to buy stupid cartoon lisences, make ports, of sequels to crappy games? It seems that companies like SquareEnix, Nintendo, Namco and Sega (that one's for Sega Slayer) are going to be the ones leeding this Nintendo Ds Market.

1) Clicky Buttons

If you know me, you'll know that one of the things I rant about most are the Clicky buttons on Nintendo DS ALSO found on GBA SP. If you are reading this right now, stop and start pressing the buttons on your clock radio and imagine yourself playing Mario Party with this. I swear the first time I heard clicking when I moved my character with the D-pad I felt like buying a gun and shooting something. Not because I like guns, because I like how the trigger would push one centemeter VS the 0.2 milimeter button press on Nintendo DS.

Note> I'm talking about the original Nintendo DS and I know the New Nintendo DS Lite will fix most of these problems.

Good Bye GamecubeHeaven.tk

I remember it like was yesterday, I like Nintendo and the internet was quite new to me. And I wanted to talk to some fellow Nintendo fans online so I joined the GameCubeHeaven Message Boards A.K.A, The GCH-XG Forum Network.

I've been a member of this site for a while now and I'm sad to hear that it's shuting down. The people of the boards I met there were great and the debates between a man named "Linteria" and I were very entertaining.

Yes, the Boards were great, (even though I felt like the odd one) we talked about everything from Nintendo to Fanboyism. These debates and conversations have strengthend my stance on this industry.

Interestingly enough, that site has been a way of comunication for Kate and I from the beginning to the end. Finally, as the GDC 2006 comes in a month, I finally ask for forgiveness for destroying your GDC 2005 hype tread...

And of course, I wish the best for Ryan Reynolds I hope he becomes very sucessful journalist. I look forward to another new read.

Finally, if anyone from the GameCubeheaven comes across this site please join the boards.
