Looking for good DS sites

[VR46]

As subject says, apart from here (obviously ) can anyone suggest any reliable and upto date DS sites, ones with videos of gameplay/previews especially helpful thanks.
(seen few like dscentral.net, dsgaming.co.uk, dstopgames.nl just get the feeling there must be better sites out there hidden away somewhere)

Going off at a tangent, do any DS games so far (any region) have online ranking leaderboards ?

Finally saw one of these running yesterday, not thinking of buying obviously but the GBA/DS SD card movie player cartridge is looking like a promising option after all.

It also has movies for No wo kitaeru otona no DS toreningu too for anyone who's interested.

When you mention the movies do you mean the Play Yan? I thought that just took SD cards and that the GBA movies were just special carts that plug straight into a GBA slot. Please correct me if i'm wrong!

[venom743]

No, I meant that the site has gameplay footage and trailers for the above game. Sorry, should've made myself clearer.

[SharkAttack]

Sorry should have made myself clearer! I was referring to the link davidh posted!

[VR46]

sorry I wasn't clear, the cartoon cartridges are proper GBA looking carts only, other thing I meant, as your probably also aware, you can buy something like this to play your own movies via CF card

I was thinking of this - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1e-70-ghq.html
Similar but uses SD Cards. Has a dancing man built in and quite user friendly menus.

I was thinking of getting this: http://www.movieadvance.com
available from Lik Sang Europe for ?20.
It plays movies and music, converts them into its own format from CD, DVD, Divx, mp3 etc. Also displays text files and pictures. Finally it has a built in NES emulator. It used Compact Flash cards which you can get 128Mb ones cheap and 512MB ones for about ?25

if those are the e3 vids, i highly recommend taking the time to grab metroid hunters... i had pretty much zero interest in it before viewing; now it's near the top of my 'wanted' list! 8)

Pity it seems to be solely multiplayer though.

By far the best Nintendo hand held site.

thanks chaps.

SharkAttack & Julio III; I finally put some clips on GBA last night, (using program call Meteo) 256Mbit (32mb) cart only seems good for about 10 mins of good quality viewing, but scaling down quality it only increases to about 12 mins - going to investigate further this evening.

So am of the view the CF/SD card version is the way to go (ebuyer sell upto a 8GB ! card) and the 1gb CF cards can be had for about ?45 all in - this would in theory give approx two and half hours at good quality

Will try and upload something to show quality tonight.

PS. Annoying that all flash carts sizes are quoted in MBits not MBytes (bit like old Master System game sizes) so beware before buying anything - a Mbit is 128k by the way for those not aware.
