DS Daily: Are you a jukebox hero?

We know there are some DS games that include jukebox features, wherein you can listen to music (that you often have to unlock first) at will. So, what do you think about jukeboxes? Do you ever actually leave your game on and listen to the music? Or is a jukebox just an unnecessary extra?

*Note: The video embedded above is just for fun and has nothing to do with the DS, although it does show us a true jukebox hero.

Rocking out to Flower, Sun, and Rain

If you find yourself importing Flower, Sun, and Rain because you have no faith in localization, there will be at least one feature you won't have trouble understanding.

Some extra content in the game includes a jukebox feature, and luckily, music is an international language. At least you'll have something to listen to while you try to figure out how to read Japanese. We wonder if the soundtrack is even half as good as the one for Suda 51's Wii game, No More Heroes.

Final Fantasy IV comes with nice soundtrack treat

Having a jukebox feature is not unique to video games, but it's not often (or never) that we have this pleasure with a Final Fantasy title. Fortunately, though, the Final Fantasy IV remake for the DS will have a jukebox component, hosted by none other then everyone's favorite spoony bard.

Once you make Edward play your tune of choice, you can close up your DS, listen, and relax. If all of our DS games let us do this, we probably wouldn't have any need for our iPods anymore (okay, that's a lie).

It's important to note, however, that the soundtrack for the DS version is slightly different from that of the original game because of sound issues on the handheld. Regardless, we find this to be a nice little feature for the game.
