Default An unlicensed stylus will Ruin your Portrait — Nintendo DS thread

But who cares! Nintendo gives you two with every DS! (Used to be three, though, back in the day … cutbacks, they said.)

Right, continuing from here, and the big news is that Castlevania Portrait of Ruin will, from select retailers, be available in a pretty sweet collectors' set which includes yet another stylus!

But don't get your knickers in too much of a twist over Castlevania because there are still a bunch of games between now and then, including Seiken Densetsu: Children of Mana and Final Fantasy III DS, both of which are being released in the States for the first time!

Yes, I know it's the first time at the rodeo for Children. [img]/images/graemlins/relief1.gif[/img]

I got three with my Mario Kart DS, all the standard small dark gray. Maybe I'm just living correctly?

Maybe they added more after launch and then took the extra one away again at some later point in time? Maybe you got lucky? [img]/images/graemlins/sweat200.gif[/img]

My DS was the launch one that came with a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters.

Ultimately the original DS stylus pales in comparison to the Lite's, yet neither I would think cost Nintendo much of anything to make.

I'm not living correctly? That just seems wrong, man. You don't sell your soul for an extra stylus; you should get three MVP-caliber seasons and a Super Bowl win as an NFL quarterback in that bargain.

Man, I don't want to pre-order and not get the goodies. I wish you got that stuff when you pre-ordered.

I'm picking up Touch Detective and Contact tomorrow. I'll prolly post some first impressions if anyone cares.

I really have high hopes for both these games. I hope they don't dissapoint me.

And on the topic of Portrait of Ruin, I just read the impressions on Gamespot. Sounds like the online boss rush mode and online shops are going to be pretty cool. But as they said in the preveiw, I too am going to miss the soul collecting from Dawn of Sorrows. Thats one of my favorite parts of it.

I only have 4 DS games, but I love each of them dearly.

I've been sick today, and It's given me a bucketload of fun.

Still on the fence about a DS lite. *Prays for a friggin awesome deal this holiday season*

If anyone cares, I have:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS

Does anyone know where I can buy Super Princess Peach, Rocket Slime, FFIII or Contact for good prices? I'm interested in those the most right now.

I just beat Ready Steady go in Ouendan on Normal, after being horribly stuck on it for a month. I've never felt such a sense of a achievement. Damn, I love this game.
