favorite so far: new super mario bros.

disappointed in: wario ware touched

i'm also disappointed in the fact that the phantom hourglass trailer was revealed nearly a year ago, and nintendo still has yet to announce a release date. there's no new gameplay footage, no new screenshots, no new anything. sigh.

Just sounds like nintendo to me. those expecting mario galaxy Q1 07 will also be sorely dissapointed. more like Q1 08 - id bet.

Favorite: Metroid Prime Pinball (I never knew pinball game could be so fun)



Most disappointing: Megaman ZX (it's not completely awful, but it's way worse than I expected)

I only have two games, so here goes :p .

Favourite: NSMB - I was disappointed with the single player as I completed it in about a day. But the mini-games have kept me going. Me and my girlfriends spent days trying to beat each others scores :p .

Disappointing: Trauma Centre: Under The Knife - It looks like a great game, but the spikes in difficulty can be horrendous. I've not played it for about a week now because I'm stuck on one particular level and it appears near on impossible to get past it. The most worrying thing is that I think I'm only about half way through the story. :( .

What game is that? :confused:

I think its called club house games in the USA. It's the one with all the card games etc, and you can play on wifi.

here we go :rolleyes:

Least-
Yoshis Island 2. Failed to be as good as the original, music was absolutely dire.
Kirby DS (the platformer one). Same old Kirby, nothing new here at all.
Contact. The intro and everything played wonderfully, pity the game itself wasn't good.

most-
Tetris. Just addiction on a cart.
Animal Crossing. Opened me up to a new world and style of gameplay.
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow. Possibly my favourite game ever, everything, the music, gameplay, story is bang on perfect.
Meteos. Heh, I didn't think I'd get this but I find myself playing it on the bus quite often.
Metroid Hunters. the first working handheld FPS. Beautiful and fluid.
FF3. I've tried most of the other Final Fantasy's. But this one had me. The story and gameplay are so oldschool, but feels much more alive than it's 2D siblings. Almost as good as Golden Sun *almost*.
42 All Time Classics. When I can get a WiFi signal this game is pure brilliance. I've even taught myself some card games with this one.

Most disappointing: Lost Magic (I have issues with the AI)

Best: Advance Wars Dual Strike
Worst: Yoshi Touch & Go

I really liked the new Super Mario game, but it was a little too easy, and with my mediocre platformer skills that is saying something.

I'd say Metroid Prime Hunters. It cramps my hands terribly, the few times I played online I got utterly pwned to the point where it wasn't even fun. The single player wasn't as engrossing as I had hoped. I keep meaning to go back to it, but there are so many other games to play.

Favorites/Most-Played: Animal Crossing:WW, Meteos, Mario Kart, CastleVania POR, Kirby Canvas Curse

Guilty Pleasure: Deep Labyrinth - I haven't quite finished the first quest yet, but it's been a fun little romp. Not a great game by any means, but not as bad as some reviews made out.

Favorite: Castlevania Dawn of Sorrorw, or Tetris DS :)
Disappointing: Metroid Prime Hunters :(

I'll add a new one.. Most Interesting/Unique: Trauma Center Under the Knife. I got it for xmas and found it pretty cool, except FleurDuMal is right about the spikes in difficulty!

Most dissapointing: Rayman

I was a bit bummed about Castle Vania Portait of Rune at first, but now I love the game.

Fav: Hotel Dusk

Least: Sonic Rush

How is Hotel Dusk? Loved Phoenix Wright, so I should love Hotel Dusk but the problem is it wasn't really replayable. Once you played it, you knew the whole plot.

oh, yea. Very dissapointed with Sonic Rush here. To say that it's as good as the Mega Drive classics is a crime. The movement engine is off, the music is appalling and can't even hold a candle to Sonic Adventures soundtrack, the story is... why bother with a story in a Sonic game? Especially a contrived one like this. If Sonic and the Sacred Rings (or whatever) flops then there really is little chance of Sonic Team ever making a good game again. It's been too long.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl I cannot wait for! Looks truly beautiful. It's the only RPG I can really play these days. theres no super complex story to remember, not too much crazy backtracking. It's the strategy element with these of getting the "perfect" team. ah. April is too far away :D

Favorite: Mario Kart DS-I just keep playing it. Hours upon hours. Perfect for the can. I just keep trying to get 3 stars on every track and in the missions.

Least Favorite:Probably Animal Crossing surprisingly. It's my favorite gamecube game, but I just couldn't get into it this time. I guess it was starting my life all over and my busy schedule that prevented me from playing everyday. I want to get back into it though.

I found the Mario 64 port frustrating and disappointing. I desperately wanted to enjoy it, but the controls crippled the game for me.

I couldn't use my thumb on the screen, it was incredibly clumsy, and the D-pad just didn't have the precision to make it playable.

Heartbreaking :(

Aye. Nothing beats the N64 controller for that game. I still enjoyed and steamed through the game though but it was such a far cry from the actobatics I could pull off with the N64. :o the extra content was great though. Minigames were mega addictive.
