cool, now that I have my emulator I can play it

Sol Fury · Apr 14, 2007

I think I may have to get both - one for me and one for my brother, though we'll probably complete our respective versions then swap and complete the other version.

You'll even be able to customize your paint job.

Transformers will fully support the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for the ambitious "AllSpark War." Players will link up to the internet and combat to try to see who the more powerful side is. Team Death Match and AllSpark Sports will also be available for up to four players over local Wi-Fi.

Why are the DS versions getting this stuff, but not the full on console versions? That's wack.

Is this a role playing game? I saw 'level' and I think I saw 'exp'. Cool.

Gears · Apr 14, 2007

Looks interesting...

Sonscreen · Apr 14, 2007

Hmm, looks promising.

Hmm...which way to misspell a word in my post...decisions, derisions...

On topic, I currently only own a PS2, and with so many toys coming out this year (plus Botcon), I doubt I'll be getting a DS before Christmas. For the DS owners...is it worth it?

-Tony!

I have a DS Lite, it's a nice little system. And in June the Opera Web browser is coming out for it so now it will have internet capabilities. I currently have a PSP and DS Lite and I prefer the DS Lite.

I'll be getting a DS come payday, this little baby will be on the shopping list too.

EDIT: soundblastc, for the love of Primus... caps lock off!

Oh, found this little tid bit of info for the DS Games:
Autobots:
As Optimus Prime scanned the radar, he noticed something unusual. A group of large flying objects were making their way toward the Autobots' headquarters at breakneck speed. Could this be the evil Decepticons? Rumors had been surfacing all week about a possible attack, and what better way than to take the Autobots by surprise? With the push of a button, the Autobots were called to arms and moved into their battle positions. The war for Earth was about to start.

Decepticons:
As you glide effortlessly through the air, you can't help but congratulate yourself on the flawless plan you've devised. In less than five minutes, you will have taken the Autobots completely by surprise and left their headquarters destroyed forever. Today marks the beginning of the Decepticons' era of world domination. Do you have it in you to take down the Autobots once and for all?
