    This... just no..

    Having said that, I'm really hoping for a PSPgo camera, if it hits about 5mp it could be really useful. #dsi

    I want it... but.... I don't want it... Like This....

    I'll buy it, after I get a DSi, and paint the pink with Gunmetal paint.... That's much more MANLY!

    The bag will be lost in a fire that takes place shortly after I get it. This fire will take place in the fireplace at my parent's house to make sure nothing else is in danger... #dsi

    In reply to Dragon Quest VI DS Dated For Japan
    I heard that IV, V, and VI make some sort of trilogy. Do I need to play the others first before I give this one a shot? #dragonquest

    @krushjudgement: You don't have to. It's more like a common theme, with recurring names, weapons and such. The stories however can completely be enjoyed on their own. If you want to try one, play the Dragon Quest V remake for the DS. It's considered one of the best and since it was released in February you might find it cheap. Or at least used. #dragonquest

    @amadeus3000: @krushjudgement: Agreed, just as I, II, and III form a trilogy but can also be enjoyed separately. I too would recommend V over IV, simply because of the "party conversation" button. I like my traditional RPGs to be narrative-driven (God knows turn-based battles aren't exactly exciting and innovative), and I found it to be a wonderful addition for both character development and entertainment.

    IV is quite good as well, as it tells its story in a unique chapter system, but lacks the character depth and plot twists that V has. #dragonquest

    @krushjudgement: While DQV is the superior game and is really transcended by Arte Piazza's skillful remake, I would still consider playing through DQIV. Very old school, but still surprisingly refreshing and original at times (like the Torneko chapter where you play a merchant).

    @krushjudgement: FYI, it might be kind of hard to find DQ V since it looks like Square Enix was sitting on a bunch of unsold copies of DQ IV and they only made a limited amount of DQ V. Ebay or maybe a used copy at Gamestop is probably your best choice. Places like Amazon have been sold out for several months, I did manage to snag one off Buy.com a couple months back however. #dragonquest

    .... Umm Johnson, you may want to improve the concept art a little, as I'm not entirely sure why, but that looks very ugly, and I'm not really surprised no one was interested in it...

    I know games like this should be about the gameplay, not the graphics, but art like that is a bit offputting. Possibly try making them look less flat? I can't put my finger on what I dislike so much about it, but it certainly doesn't leave much of a good impression.

    I mean, on the map screen the squiggles don't even stay on their own tiles... #toejamearl

    The original is classic game.

    Although a little slow, co-op mode is just great fun.

    On top of that, a great cast of enemies and presents to pick up.

    Seeing that hip-hop culture has changed in the last twenty years, how would we go about updating Toejam and Earl for a more contemporary audience?

    Everything in this story makes me sad, because it seems like the franchise might be dead for all intents and purposes. The last game in the series came out in 2002, and there was already a long hiatus between the second and third games before that. The longer they wait, the smaller the audience of gamers who remember and would care becomes.

    The worst part is that, without this story, I wouldn't have known there was a DS game to mourn the loss of.
