Do Nintendo still have shipping costs?

I remember MANY years ago, I got both Zelda games for Christmas but Zelda 1 was glitched - after I played it the first time, it wouldn't boot up again. I sent it in and a few weeks later, Nintendo sent me back a brand new copy free of charge. I don't think my family paid a dime for shipping.

Then again, Nintendo Canada *is* frightfully prompt.

Dude, custom colors. Get one and mod it out. Voiding the warranty but making your DS the most kickass DS out there.

I got one myself on Christmas Eve (grandparents) and it's pretty slick.

Not owning a GBA at all, I'm pretty much having to start up a collection of games from almost nothing. I did get Super Mario 64x4, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Super Mario 64x4 is even better than the original I'd say. New gameplay elements, new levels, etc. I found myself playing away with it's many mini-games also. (some are quite weird though ... she loves me, she loves me not ... hmm)

After switching the Metroid Prime Hunters demo to Dual Mode for controlling, I can't wait for the game. But I'd still like to see another side-scrolling Metroid game ... a new one for the DS.

Today I plan to get Zelda: Four Swords, Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls.

Is Mario Kart DS out? What when who where why?

Looks like it isn't planned until the September of next year. I really want it, too.

1. cool.

2. Yeah but the control isn't quite as good.

3. I disagree, I don't think it'll be good.

4. I just with The Minish Cap were out here in America =/

5. No, GameFAQs is wrong. I mean why would it be out before the system is

The most sensible statement of the day.

I'd rather get some sort of case for the DS if worse came to worse. Taking chances with warranties can bite you in the ass.

Is it just my DS, or are the screens nearly impossible to see (dark) without the backlight on.

It's difficult to see without the backlight, but I wouldn't say it's impossible. It's not too bad when there's a bright light out, I mean, nd why would you play without the backlight when it's dark?

I think it would be cool to mod my GCN, but I don't want to chance anything.

Question: About it opening and closing, is it like a cell phone? Just flip both ways instead of a latch?

Answer: Yeah, there's no latch, you just flip it open. It's like the GBASP.

I'd go with a GC mod over anything else because I've seen QUITE a few of them done. But it's still silly.

Think a deluxe Game & Watch in regards to the opening/closing.

If I ever get a GCN mod chip (which apparently was just recently made), I'm gonna mod the hell out of the thing. LEDs and such. (Speaking of modding... It seems to use the same hardware as a GBA, so I bet you could easily add a link port just like you could to Super Game Boy. But there probably isn't actually room for one. )

So yeah. Also some cell phones do have a latch.

Yeah, just like a GBA. I dunno how I ever played games without a backlight.

Anyone else notice the screens are slightly bigger than GBA's? There's always this border around them.

Where's the "Yes - When it comes out" option?

I need that as an option. It's not out here in the UK. I realy want one badly though. (Then again, my GBA keeps loosing it's back piece to cover the batteries (I don't have a GBA SP)) which is one reason my GBA collection is very small... but i like portable games.

Yeah, mine broke off. I'm so glad to see Nintendo has finally gone a more advanced route.

I agree. See, I have a habit of chewing on random stuff, and I often render the covers to battery packs completely unuseable because of it. Yeah, it's wierd, I know

I went to EbGames to get a DS, today. However, I didn't get one because there a very long waiting line to get in the store (I wasn't gonna wait an hour or so, while I didn't even know if they still had some in stock).

I guess I'll wait for the end of the week before I buy it. Less people and they'll probably have received some by then.
