Advace Wars DS2, online = 10/10, no online = 2/10

Never really played a Contra game (runs to the top of a hill), but with the hype you blogs are giving it, it's enough to convince me to (as Destructoid says) Trade, rent, or steal it. And I don't believe in trading in, or renting, so it's either a steal or I'm buying it.

The DS wins nothing from E3. Nothing at all. Zelda is already out in Japan and we knew plenty about Brain Age 2 and Contra 4 going in.

Wait, I lied. Contra 4 wins.

I'm pumped about Zelda, but we don't get it until October... which sucks...

Contra 4
It takes me back to me younger days it does.

It's only Zelda for me.

I didn't care for Contra that much during the NES days.

With absolutely no information, screenshots, or footage of any kind, Advance Wars DS 2 still beats the tar out of every other game shown or announced

The game I'm looking forward to the most is probably either Zelda or Advance Wars 2. If A.W.2 has online turn-based battles, then that will definitely be the winner. If it doesn't, then Zelda will probably win. I'm getting kind of excited about Contra 4, but since I never played the originals I'll have to see what it's like. But, I absolutely loved A.W. Dual Strike. It was one of the only things I played on my DS for about 6 months. So hopefully, if A.W. 2 has multiplayer, I'll play that game for a very very long time. As long as they keep the Stealth Fighters. I frickin' loved those!!!!!!!

While I'm a huge AW fan and that announcement was huge, Contra 4 has blown me away and cannot wait to play a storied franchise that I wish my parents would have bought me when I was young (and gaming NES).

I know this is a DS forum but G4 network gave Super Mario Galaxy the title of #1 game out of all the systems at E3!! At least it's a score for Nintendo.

P.S. Can't decide between Zelda and Contra 4

For the past 15 days I've played nothing but Advance Wars DS and listened to nothing but Depeche Mode. I don't know why they work together so well, but they do. I'm super pumped for AWDS2 and Contra 4.

raycosm, stay at the top of that hill for the rest of your life!

For me it's Professor Layton which I've been waiting forever for. Now, I haven't read anything about it since it was released in Japan, so did the reviews suck? Is that why no one is really excited for this game's localization as I am?

Layton and Mario Party DS of course....
yea, i'm a sucker for all mario party

I'm definitely excited for Fushigi no Dungeon: Furai no Shiren DS.

...oh wait, there's still no plans to localize that here, even though it's been out in Japan forever, it's fun as hell, and it beats the crap out of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. D:

The Super Famicom version was the ultimate pick-up-and-play dungeon crawl, very fun and competitive when two people are attacking the high score list.

Only one playable game on the show floor was an RPG with Wi-fi multiplayer and had stylus controls.

Luminous Arc crushes all. (Even Advance Wars 2.)

Contra 4 is up there, too, but You can't beat Luminous. It's just got too much going for it. Strat-RPG FTW!

You know what I was most excited about? Golden Sun DS, "The Solar Soothsayer." I had my hopes dashed for one a while ago when the Golden Sun "Path of Alex" kinda got phased out, and Cemelot did some other stuff...

I'm just happy to hear that my clear file on GS:TLA might not be sitting around in vain!
