Radiant Historia - Official Thread

Everything you typed is wrong, James. DS is the only system worth playing since PS2 stopped getting games.

I originally bought the big blue brick DS but could never stand playing the fucking thing, even though I had a nice pile of great games for it. I recently picked up a black DS Lite on ebay and find playing it 1000x more enjoyable...now I play it all the time, and damn, do I have a lot of fantastic titles to catch up on. Got Radiant Historia on the mail from Amazon the other day, can't wait to try it.

The DSiXL is what makes me happy. It's a bit too big to be super-comfortable, but I use it mostly in bed rather than on the go so it works out fine. Those big screens just feel luxurious.

And yeah, enjoying the hell out of Radiant Historia so far. Admitted I'm barely started, but I like what I've seen. This is going to get some solid attention from me.

The DSi XL is comically large. It's just so sturdy and well-made that it totally won me over, even if the large pixel look isn't always the best. Chrono Trigger looks so good on this thing.

I still need to buy a XL. I play the ds so often, I really just need to get one before it gets hard to find.

Be good for my old man eyes.

Haha, you really should though, it's screen is marvelously bright and gives off the same wow factor I had when I first picked up a DS Lite on Japanese launch. It's nothing I would consider portable, but for relaxing at home on a sofa and playing some Chrono Trigger or SMT, it's fricking awesome.

2D games look marvelous on it because of all the colors and pixels I didn't notice the first time. Again, kind of how I felt between the DS Phat and Lite...

Like I said in the haul thread, Radioshack is clearing out their DSi and XLs. I've picked up 3 DSi's for $80 a piece and 6 XLs for $100 a pop.

None in my area unfortunately. :(

I <3 DSi XL.

The few Dsiware games I love are still firmly affixed to it and the chubby stylus is great for doodling on Flipnote and Art Academy.

I bought an XL yesterday. Trying to force myself into it, but... it's not really working. The pixels are ridiculous. Each the size of a small pebble. The +Control Pad hurts my frail thumb...

I've compared six games between my new XL and my trusty Lite. Every time, the game looked and felt SO MUCH BETTER on the Lite, it wasn't even close.
