A great little platformer. This is the USA version. I would give this game a 8/10. Kind of reminds me of Super Mario on the Snes - great fun!

So the DSi is out and it’s meant to be great. Well of course it is, the DS was great so any improvement is just a bonus. Ok so the new DIS has better media support, and yet it doesn’t support mp3 which is just crazy – saying that getting a homebrew compatible cart would sort this as is the case for the old DS. There’s the camera (well 2 to be exact) which is a neat idea, and a SD slot, again a homebrew compatible DS would have this anyway. The DSi Shop channel sounds good, but I guess most people reading this don’t actually need to buy games anyway. There’s a larger screen and better sound. In my opinion the only real advantages are these hardware upgrades and the camera. I really would have liked to see a processor upgrade, but then I guess the old DS would be come redundant. Still they could bring out a card add on that gives better graphical performance couldn’t they?
To conclude I think if you have a DS already, as I do, then its probably not worth the upgrade. If on the other hand you are new to the Nintendo DS system, then why not get the latest hardware.
What’s your favourite DS game of all time? When I think of the DS games that really stand out I think of ones from quite a while ago. Super Mario Cart and New Super Mario Brothers are up there for sure. Zelda was good. In more recent times nothing really stands out. Chrono Trigger is great, but that was made decades ago on the Super Nintendo. I think Nintendo should look at the DS’s strengths, it’s ability to run pixel based old school games well, and stop trying to be fancy with 3D graphics on a system that can’t really handle it. To be fair I think the DS is in need of a processor upgrade, maybe in the form of an add on cart. I’ll give you an example. I’ve been playing Zelda Age or Seasons and Age of Oracles (a truly great couple of games by the way!). They are old Game Boy Color games. The DS just can’t handle it when there’s lots of music and sprites all over the place. So instead I’m running them on my PSP. Imagine that. A Sony hand-held better at emulating an old 8-bit Neintendo hand-held from 10 years ago than the latest Nintendo handheld. There’s something wrong with that.
Chrono Trigger DS Rom
Wow, what can I say, a great game! All I had to do in the end was replace the existing cheat.dat file with the updated one and hey presto, my M3 Simply was able to patch the game for me
Well I downloaded a copy of Chrono Trigger as it looked great but it kept crashing each time I got to the part where you teleport back in time. I tried it again and again. I found a so called patched rom which worked great for ages, and I got really far but that just crashed later on. How frustrating. I am wondering if anyone has found a reliable rom for the English version of this game yet.
Dialaphone Review
It’s like that film, 28 days later…
I recently decided to get a Sony PSP. I still love my DS but I was lured by the power of the PSP and frankly I haven’t seen any good DS games for a while. Anyway I decided that instead of just gong out the shop or buying one online I would renew my mobile phone contract. Dialaphone had an offer that would get me a new phone which I could give to my partner as I already have a fairly decent Nokia N95, £70 cash back and a Sony PSP. Now I realise that you are essentially still buying the PSP but the contract was actually cheaper than I was currently paying so it made sense.
I had problems from the word go. When I added the phone I wanted to the shopping cart, the PSP and all other offers strangely disappeared and I became a tiny bit suspicious of the website. I decided I better make my order by phone. I thought there might be a catch of some sort so I carefully checked the terms and conditions that are on every page. See below
You will notice there is no mention of the free gift but there is mention that you will be getting free next day delivery. Great! Well actually not so great because only when you purchase your phone and sign up to your contract do you get to find out that you have to wait 28 days before they will part with any free gifts. You see, the thing is they get a commissions from orange, o2 or whoever you go with and use part of that free commission to entice you in. Its win-win for them. They don’t want anyone closing their contract with the phone provider otherwise they will be out of pocket. The problem is people tend to do a lot less impulse buying when they find out their “free” PSP, Wii, Playstation or whatever will take over a month to arrive. So they carefully omit to tell you this.
Is this deception? I’m not sure but all I do know is that I genuinely thought I would have my PSP within a couple of weeks and it turns out I will actually have to wait over 5 weeks. I wanted to clarify the situation so I phoned their support system. Unlike the nice people in sales, the support system is run a robot called Rachel. Rachel recognises voices commands and understands your post code and date of birth. I am not taking the mick – she really is a robot, a very limited AI program, possibly running of one of the old Nokia 8210’s they have lying around. Anyway, I was getting nowhere with Rachel, she was severely lacking in charisma so I decided to email a support request in:
Hi
I am just wondering, am I likely to have to wait the whole 28 days for my free gift? My contract is connected now and I don’t intend to cancel.
Many thanks
I received and email the next day stating:
