Online will be schweet

please tell me that is not coming stateside

Advance Wars comes out next month. Aug 22 fyi

Sadly, no online games come out until November. The Tony Hawk game is neat, and online. You can record your own bail sounds with the mic and draw your own baord designs. Screens.

I always found the Tony Hawk games fun, but not worth the full entry fee. Tony Hawk DS is supposed to be completely different form the console and PSP versions, which has made me interested. Whether or not it is $30 would affect my purchasing plans. I would be quite angry if they made it $40 and took out online.

Don't tell me I'm turning into an elitist. If you observe otherwise, I'm just being more open to DS games because of all of that "innovative-map-on-the-touch-screen" business. Except that stupid Prince of Persia tactical card game. Now come on, thats just silly.

so i hear this age of empires game is going to have online capabilities, that would be cool

come on nintendo, get your ass in gear and give me some quality online gaming experience on my handheld. That also goes for your consoles too dammit
