Are there any turn based strategy games other than tactics a2, super robot taisen w and advance wars for the ds? I really want to play something like fire emblem but can't do it because of the lack of those games. I'll try japanese games, but even after years of taking japanese i still cant get that much out of them.

Daisenryaku DS (not sure I spelled that right). Japanese only though. Hoshigami. There were a couple of half decent homebrew titles too.

The gba has a whole bunch of titles, in English too. The "tactics series" is a good start, I will throw in Yggdra Union, Shining force, Super robot taisen and there are quite a few others.

The was a thread a few months back that turned out some good titles:

You also have fairly decent 16bit era emulation these days and if you can not find something there........

well i can't say it's a DS game but jenesisDS lets us play it and i remember i really enjoyed and spent SO much time playing it ...

shining force.... I know it's old but still... like old games are still played such as chrono trigger,

Very good turn based for a genesis game

I couldn't find this one. Any chance you can get the title? I have a 3 hour bullet train ride before a 14 hour flight home for a couple of weeks (and then the same back).

how you can deploy your own army and everything... only problem was the sound... was a little dissappointing
graphics were very fast and smooth (but lots of text

)
but i enjoyed this a lot.

but the problem about this is that jenesisDS doesn't have the horizontal scaling...

Thanks for the replies.

Also, are you guys kidding me? do you take me for a n00b? I owned shining force for the genesis back in the day. I'm all up on it

but thanks for those refreshers in names. Also, I am aware of the gba titles that are Turn based strategy. I was just looking for exclusively ds games.

I'll be sure to try out the recommendations.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
