Gaming DS Games of the Month: April 2010

[MushGuy]

Wait, Windy X Windam? The game with Izuna and Shino as guest characters? FINALLY!

 

[I am r4ymond]

Not a lot of replies to this thread lately. Looks like the games that are going to be released in April are boring.

 

[Inunah]

Eh, lackluster until Diablo DS, or hacks that turn a DSi into a 3DS.

 

[Kerian]

Dementium II
Dawn of Heroes

interresting titles

 

[sn0wfish]

hmmm... nothing interest me for this month's...

 

[chrisman01]

Dementium II, definitely. Maybe Dragon Quest, but we'll see.

Also, did anyone else LOL at Dementiium II's cover? More cheesy than anything else xD

 

[CatScam]

Thanks for the monthly updates, but why not post screenshots instead of them worthless box covers.

 

[kernelPANIC]

Gamestop has a release date of April 6 for "Again". A game developed by recently bankrupted CING (Hotel Dusk, Another Code, etc.).

If that date is accurate, this game has definitely flown under the radar and will flop in terms of sales, which mean a less likely localization for Hotel Dusk 2 (Last Window).

Damn
This month looks boring for DS games. Meh. I need something to play now that I'm done with Soul Silver and never got into Strange Journey.

Dawn of Heroes delayed until 25 of may.

Dawn of Heroes delayed until 25 of may.

Thanks for the news though.

The DS is already past its glory days. What's to blame? Piracy? Shovelware? Both? One thing I know for sure: No guarantees the 3DS is going to inherit the DS's legacy. It's a downward spiral. Let's not forget the DS isn't as great as the GBA either.

Um, cool story bro. This isn't the place to tell it though. A campfire seems a little better. WELL KIDS I REMEMBER THE RISE AND FALL OF THE DS!

The DS is past its glory days. Why do you think we know what the 3DS is now?

Oh, and the GBA wasn't as good as the GB/GBC.

The fuck!? No really, you cannot be serious.
This is such a ridiculous statement my first reaction is, of course that you must be trolling.
But, what can I say? I'm a sucker for stupid people spouting off stupid shit.

I can't be bothered giving you the normal dressing down so I think this diagram makes my point fairly well.

"downward spiral"
whut?
"the DS isn't as great as the GBA either"
whut?
"The DS is already past its glory days. What's to blame? Piracy? Shovelware? Both?"
Again whut?
The current generation of systems has seen far more Shovelware than any previous gen. The same goes for piracy which is far more rampant than ever before.
Yet, sales statistics suggest that the DS continues to sell better than any other handheld to date.

Well, sales don't mean anything. It just means it was popular. People still buy Jonas Brothers CD's and they suck. The DS was popular because it had casual appeal to it, something the GBA, GBC, PSP, etc don't/didn't have. Same goes with the Wii. Both systems have pretty good libraries, but older systems beat those libraries.

 

[Isabelyes]

I think that the DS has got an awesome game library, though.
I'm a bit DS fanboyish, but I've got ten times as much good DS games as GBC/GBA.

 

[westarrr]

i want dawn of heroes!
i luv SRPGs!

although Beat City seems kinda fun too!

 

[ShigeruTR]

So who can say me this month's Wii and DS games for Europe? (PM please =)
