Cool add-on, but I dought the finnish game will be as good as the one built into Zelda.
They never are.
When did quality come into things? Anyway even if this is cancelled it's just a matter of time before another fishing game takes its place. Aren't these things ridiculously popular in Japan?
Sorry bout the double post but anyone got Zelda DS to work yet - seem to be having probs with my supercard doing it and I have download the latest dat and save file
Might get a new card anyway as dont like pissing around to them to work, pnp would be far better - seen this site review site -

Works fine on the R4
Same here. Can't go wrong with an R4 other than the worry about those incredibly fragile micro SD's
So, now that a few people have Phantom Hourglass what do you think of the stylus control method?
I've now tried a mate's copy for a few hours and am not a fan - call me a luddite but for me it doesn't work and really ruins the game.
My main beef is that the stylus (and the edge of my hand - no I don't have huge hands!) obscures the onscreen action. I'm always moving the damn thing out of the way to check what's going on elsewhere on the screen. It's also fiddly to use (tap here, drag it there, perform various arcane actions to instigate certain moves and functions, etc).
Nope, REALLY bad move Nintendo, forcing this control method on people - I know some people like it but I'm just hoping that the standard D-pad and buttons will be implemented as an option in the Western release later in the year (well, I can but hope!).

Wouldnt work.
A game designed around that controll method simply wouldnt adapt back to digital controlls.
Imagine trying to play "Another Code" with a D-pad, but it being even worse.
The simple solution for a "fix" would be for Nintendo to have a screen doubling option and put the action on the top screen as well.
I dont think you need both screens in most parts.
the stylus is far superior! you might just need a bigger stylus, the DS lite ones are much better than the DS phat ones and if you still have probelms you can buy ones that are almost as long as a pen, i've got a pac-man one thats brilliant, and you have no excuse for finding that uncomfortable unless you have trouble holding a pen...
Well, you have to play on a hard surface when using long pens.
Limits you "in your bed" gaming potential.
I'm a big fan of stylus controll myself, but screen visibility should always be taken into account.
Thats why I felt Metroid Hunters was such a great demo of the system.
Showed exactly why you needed two screens, as well as showing how fast/accurate fps controlls could be.
the pac man one is ideal, its just long enough to rest in that bit between your thumb and first finger and where you grip it is similar to a bic but slightly thinner, and its very light..
i havent plaed phantom hourglass yet though so i cant really comment but a am optomisit as i'm fine with animal crossing..
