A few weeks ago, I was at an electronics store looking to replace my old digital camera and got sucked into buying a Nintendo DS lite (for me) and a Nintendo DSi (for one of my nephews). I swore I was done with gaming after beating the Doom and Fable series, but this stupid Cooking Mama 3 game (out of all games ) pulled me back in.

I bought Cooking Mama 3 and Professor Layton when I bought the systems, but now I'm looking for a good, LONG RPG to play. Does anyone have any suggestions? I like games that take weeks to beat. I've already beat the Cooking Mama and the Professor Layton game.

Ragnarok Online DS. Comes out this week. it is not long to beat. . . .25th mission gets you multiplayer & the eternal tower, but it takes a long time for the whole thing and is fun.

Infinite SPace in March.

A Luxury DS with larger screen is also coming out soon as well as 5 good RPGs with no multiplayer.

Thanks for the recs java! I'll have to check them out! Ragnarok looks like it should be fun. The characters remind me of the Fable characters a bit.

Although the new bigger DS is coming out, I had better stick to DSlite. Even the DSi was a bit much for me and I couldn't figure out all of the features. My nephew was playing with it and taking pictures within seconds...go figure.

A few months ago, I purchased Aquarium DS. It's more like a 'virtual pet' game. You get to take care of various aquatic life, by feeding, maintaining an aquarium and cleaning it. Sounds boring, I know. But it's interesting a bit if you are into that. I like fish, and my particular favorite species is dolphins.

You get to take care of sharks as well. Just be careful not to put non-aggressive sealife in with them. I lost a couple of penguins, a manta-ray and a turtle b/c I forgot to feed the sharks....

I got ragnarok DS. Going to play it now.

I'm jealous.

Let us know what you think of it.

I've been playing a rom before it came out for 2 months of 2009. It's good.

How much did it cost? Both Layton and Cooking Mama3 were around $30 and I don't think they were worth it. Maybe I'll try to catch a used copy of Ragnarok at Gamestop in the next few weeks.

Ha, that's what people thought about Phantasy Star Zero when it came out in November.

It's still $34.99.

Good games are rarely traded in and not marked down until 4-6 months later. Hopefully some finicky idiot traded it in after a week for you.

Some on gamefaqs claim they played it for 30 minutes and didn't like it, but the first 5 is story line. next 4 is instruction. I doubt they got past novice.

That's a shame. People are too impatient and finicky. I like when a game takes time to lay out the story and to train players.

I was playing Ragnarok online Ds 30 minutes ago while on LSa.

I finally made it to level 50 of mirage tower. I think I'll pull a hack to duplicate my Priest and add it to my guild so I can have it fighting beside me.

This is like the third time I've been reborn. I was a Knight , then Magician, then Priest.

Chrono Trigger, it's an old Super Nintendo game. Loved it then, still love it now. It was one of the first games I got when I bought my DSi. It does not feel dated and you'll love it.

I finally beat Ragnarok Online DS.

lvl 61, 34 Preist.

Some bugs that let you duplicate your main character into your guild have been found.

I hope my guild gets 16+ members so I can do it.

smh& some of the flashbacks being form in game cinema, but end game cinema has the novice everywhere. I hope it lets me change that darn noob hair in a place other than Mirage Tower.

I've been going since 11:ooPm, I think. And It's 3:00AM now.

Yeah, 30 minutes won't get you far in the first part.

Wireless really helps though.
