from what i've seen of the videos it actually seems pretty cool. i just hope that it plays through like a regular shooter, you know, without saves in the middle.

I hope the hitbox isn't positioned off as it was in Iridion II.

Still, looking very forward to it.

Crappy angle, like in the last two Ray games.

Automatically makes it bad ;)

It's odd, but the DS is the first Nintendo system that has a 3rd party game that I consider THE killer ap. That being the new Castlevania. When that drops I'll have to get a DS, but there's nothing else on the horizon that I really HAVE to have. Nanostray is just a nice perk.

^ I like how you lead us into believing you will say Nanostray, and then, say Castlevania :lol:. Seriously, Castlevania DS is THE reason to get a freakin' DS. A price drop is another reason.

Seems you can pre-order now, their website gives links to Amazon and EBGames. Amazon says July 12th for the release.

I second that. But it's still not convincing enough for me. Another CV game in the vein of Bloodlines on the other hand...

A price drop is already here. At least where I live you can find a plentiful supply of relatively cheap used DSs. Apparently locals aren't too happy with the supply of games for the system. Too bad I bought mine when it first came out :( : I really won't have any use for it until Nanostray. Might get Retro Atari if I can find it used.

Castlevania DS? I have GBA Castlevania games to finish first, and I don't see that happening soon.
