Nice ones. Could you possibly do me a favor? I need a photo of the front and ideally also back (with readable text) of Rune Factory 3's box. Would help me a lot, thanks :)

Nanostray splitting opinion there! :lol:

I'm currently still enjoying Dementium Ward and also a re-play of Mario Kart DS (best Kart game ever?)

Would you want high quality? I can get that sorted (possibly a scan) in a week or so.

Is Dementium that FPS horror game? I was thinking of trying it out along with Moon.
I asked for orange. It gave me lemon lime!

Yup. I enjoyed both titles personally, with Moon being similar to Metroid Prime: Hunters.

Not a scan please, I specifically need photos. Readable text would be good though :)

I would go with Dementium over Moon (have played both). You can get Dementium for about £6 from CEX, which is quite good value. I

Well, it wasn't the most exciting way to spend a Saturday night but I successfully carried out a DS Lite d-pad transplant.

My DS LIte had really poor diagonals, which is common, and it really put me off playing some games. I remembered that my old broken DS Lite didn't really seem have that problem, so I wondered if switching the d-pads would make any difference, and it worked!. Against my better judgement I opened my DS Lite up and switched both the plastic part and the rubber pad. I'm actually surprised it worked because both d-pads looked pretty much the same. :?

The diagonals aren't 100% perfect but it's now miles better than it was. :D

Cheers. I've heard people say d-pads sometimes need "breaking in", maybe it's the rubber pad that softens over time or something.

Why did no one tell me Jason Rohrer was working on a DS game? :shock: When is this coming out and where?

Well, Edge & Nintendo Gamer recently reviewed it & there's mention on the official site about it getting an ESRB Rating but that's it. I can't find it listed on any US or UK online shop, so goodness knows how/when/where it'll appear.

I only really have 2 titles on my want list now - World Ends with You and Chrono Trigger - I think after that I will likely call it a day as I have pretty much all that I want on DS - unless anything new and interesting pops up obviously.
