Okay, so I will be leaving for 3 weeks this saturday, and due to limited access, like summer, I will most likely stop existing for this time.

Now, the problem. The only real source of entertainment minus my dads dog, various visits around places and decent american TV (G4 and movies) will be my DS. Dilemna: I have no new games to play with at this time (Just finished KH:358/2 days and mission mode won't keep me going for long). I have enough money however.
Any recommendations?

SWIFTLY OH MY BROTHER, tell us:
-Which games you own.
-Which kinds of games you tend to like
-Which you tend NOT to like.

These are critical.
Then I will tell you which game(s) you need to buy.
Also - we have /vidya/ ...

(just finished typing this as you were leaving IRC- heh)
Personally, I think it'd be fun to get another Pokémon game, just to start a new file. I like playing through the story. Platinum would be your option, here - it's different, and in a better way. But there's also a lot of different, great stuff for a permanent file. Like the post-elite four additions/changes.

-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, possibly Portrait of Ruin.
I think you need Castlevania above all else. It's a short game (20-ish hours) but you can new game+ (I'm pretty sure), and you can go for a 100% file.

-Chrono Trigger
Excellent candidate for playing for long times, and replay value, I think. The story motivates you to play more, and there are different endings/different things that can happen based on how you react to people and play.

-Kirby Super Star Ultra
Possibly, if you like Kirby games. If you've already played Super Star, though, you probly won't like this. It's a game where you play the levels a lot and learn all the different characters you can suck up, by using their powers. And then, having this mass storage of enemy abilities in your head, and apply that to OTHER enemies/bosses.
MAYBE Yoshi's Island DS. I personally find it fun, but I'm not sure on the length/replay value.

I could recommend smaller, more short-spurt-playing/mini-game-y games, but I don't think these suit your needs.

Other RPGs to possibly consider: Contact, Suikoden Tierkreis, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, Avalon Code

And lesser to those (in my mind):
Knights in the Nightmare (SRPG/shooting?!), Summon Night, Luminous Arc/2 (SRPG), Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja (mystery dungeon-y), Etrian Odyssey/2 (if you like first person "see where you're going as if you're actually walking there" SMT-y oldie RPGs)

Oh, and N+ - it seems like you've played it, elsewhere. The DS game has a FEW lacking things, compared to the other versions. But the levels are basically really hard puzzles that you have to maneuver through with deft finger skills. And lots of dying and learning/perfecting.

I expect a full report on how it went.
Without spoilers.

Didn't they add a monster breeding feature in the DS version?
I'd like to know how the new ending goes as well.
>> No. 198
Turns out my stepmother has a new laptop she barely uses. Fuck. Yes.

Chrono Trigger is great. The gameplay is very smooth, especially when transitioning into a battle and is challenging earlier on, but the level of difficulty decreases as you gain levels. Except bosses. Bosses are hard.
And yes, they did add a breeding feature, and it's alright. You get items etc. for fighting and winning with it, but it does take a bit of time. And I haven't finished it yet, so I can't comment on the ending.

Or just make the "ending" plural. You overcomplicate my grammatic/logical failures Red.

I don't think so. To say 'endings' would imply that you'd beaten it multiple times. Let's recap:
>And I haven't finished it yet, so I can't comment on the ending.

You said ending as in singular, and you were also implying singular by saying that you would be able to comment on that first ending.
>> No. 205
>>204
This is not turning into a Grammar war.
Anyways, I recommend this game to anyon into RPGs. And Red. Get your ass playing that game now.

They change stuff you might hate if you memorised the game.

If you aren't too bothered by minor changes, then yes. Also, DS version of display is beyond awesome.

the first pokemon ranger if you dont have it, lux pain, spore creatures, or metroid prime hunters all good games

(LOL)

never played pokemon ranger, hunters is good, and i found spore creatures to be absolutely terrible.

Ranger is deliciously difficult, but the second was a disappointment to me because they really dumbed it down.
