white/black worth buying a GB for ?

[reathe]

Hey, I've been looking for a fairly good RPG for a while now, even going back and playing through ME1 again (but man do i hate the search mission in the tank...) and I was wondering if the investment would be worth it for black or white. I just finished scraping the vomit off my tongue from Eternal Sonata. The only current Gen System I own is a 360. And I'm not too interested in paying another monthly fee for Rift. Any other possible suggestions would be welcomed with open arms.

Yes its worth buying a Nintendo DS for but i recomend you to buy a Nintendo DS Lite instead of the new ones becos it can play Gameboy Advance games aswell the new once cannot and i would guess the older pokemon games is also something to put your teeth into.

Also if you like ME1 try Dragons Age Origins i quite like it ofc theres Fallout and Oblivion aswell.

Black/white is a fun game, it is worth getting a DS for, not best if you wait cause you might miss out on special events etc.

sorry for any grammar/spelling problems.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take it into consideration. And yes I do own Origins and Oblivion....not exactly my favourite games to be honest. Any other suggestions ?

Uhh, I wouldn't suggest it.
However if you plan on getting a DS (lite) pick up these games

Golden Sun (GBA game)
Golden Sun: the lost age (GBA game)
Golden Sun Dark Dawn (DS game)

The reason for a DS lite because it also plays GBA games. Other than that if you like RPG's the Final Fantasy games are not bad on DS.
A lot of people also like Dragon Quest, but I have never played it.

If you really like pokemon and want one for the DS I would suggest Heartgold.

It's not worth getting a DS if you plan on playing it from home, that's what emulators are for. However, if you plan on say.. playing something while on the train or something, then yes, buy a DS, otherwise, just stick to an emulator.

Wasn't aware there were emulators for DS. Doesn't it have a touch touch screen? How would that work?

[Xyanide]

The mouse acts as a stylus, and you can just touch the bottom half of the screen with the mouse.

For pokemon games the touch screen usually only works as a menu. There are quite a few games that don't use the touch screen at all and only the real gimmicky ones use it often.

Regardless, a DS lite is a worthy investment for anyone who has at least a few hours a week to game on the go.

The original DS can do that as well, if the DS you're talking about is the same DS as my sister has it has a camera and it's a lot brighter than the original.

Hmm interesting, can't find a white/black rom though. I guess it's too fresh on the market ?

I would really recommend fallout 3, with the add-ons of course and what about ME2? It was pretty good.

You have to go throw a bunch of pain in the@** patching. Better just to play heartgold or soul silver imo.

Fallout and oblivion aren't exactly my cups of tea. Aaaaand I already got 100% achieves with ME2 and all the addon missions

How much pain in the ass are we talking ? Willing to jump to white/black from the last iteration I played (silver) just to see the jump in features

[Dembai]

I'd buy both. Hell, my husband is so forlorn because I'm playing White without him, that we're probably going to get him a DSLite and Black for him so he can play too. X3

I wouldn't emulate, to be honest, I Emu'd platinum/crystal and was so unsatisfied with the experience...because it's hard on your eyes to play on your computer (the graphics are really designed for an itty-bitty screen) that I broke down and got a used DS just to play Soul Silver.

[Mr slimmyt]

but the game its good

[noteworthynerd]

Absolutely, on release day I bought the promotional bundle that included: an exclusive DSi, one of the games (Black for me), and a carrying case... Haven't yet regretted it.

[KonkeroaR]

Black and White pretty much put the final nails in the coffin for me with Pokemon. The Pokemon look god awful and I refused to use most of them because of that. The new villains are hardly villains at all.

Anyways, traded both games in already and I will not be picking up whatever the next catastrophe titled "Pokemon" is released.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D needs to hurry it's ass up and come out so I have a reason to buy a 3DS.

Do you mean Pokémon Black and White? I tried playing it and I caught this dog with a giant moustache, I also have a red crocodile, an animated suit of armor and a couple of other weird Pokémon, if you like Pokémon then yes it's worth buying the Nintendo DS.
