bloody hell and I have been paying full wack for these.

FarneyMan, yours is the cheapest option, credit crunch and all that, is that all you need to get them form your own computer onto the card and into the DS Lite?

I got an R4 for the DS with a 2gb micro for £21 from memorybits and 10% cashback through quidco. Good stuff.

Blow into the microphone. From memory you get 5 ballons but only 3 can be inflated at any time. Those Nintendo chaps they are a clever bunch

Forgot to say in previous post , format sd card in Fat 32 format before putting anything on it.

thebigfella · February 05, 2009, 12:14:46 PM

These are the games I would recommend and have on my rom card

Mario Kart DS - Probably one of the best versions yet since the SNES(still my favourite). Has some of the SNES tracks too. Better than the WII version.
Zelda - Excellent would put it up with one of my favourite games of last year (I know it was released the year before)
Final Fantasy IV - Love it
Yoshi's Island - Mario Bros style platformer.
Advanced Wars: Dual Strike - only get it if you like turn based strategy games
Mario Bros - need I say more
Brain/Sight Training - great just to pick up for 5 mins here and there, probably what makes the DS so good.

I'm getting games sorted onto my new DS shortly, I was thinking of getting an 8GB Micro DS Card or is that too big?

Has anyone played Donkey Kong on DS? I remember it used to be class on the nintendo!!

Corrie game planned for Nintendo DS

By Kris Green, Soaps Editor

Video game publisher Mindscape is to release a Coronation Street title on the Nintendo DS platform later this year.

The product has been described as 'an adventure and task-based concept set within the theme of the famous fictional street'.

Consumer product licensee RTL Games have also green-lit a Corrie board game called 'Destination: Coronation Street'.

ITV Global Entertainment's international merchandise and licensing director Aysha Kidwai said of the venture: "Coronation Street is a national institution and was watched by over 78% of the UK television population in 2008."

She added: "We receive thousands of fan letters enquiring about the series every month. We're responding to this huge demand by developing a range of exciting and innovative family targeted products inspired by the show."

The Corrie video game is due to be released in Q4. A date for the board game, meanwhile, has yet to be confirmed.

In October last year, ITV announced plans to launch a new range of Coronation Street-related products to tie in with the show's 50th anniversary.
