I've been having fun playing online probably because the game is so new people still suck enough that I can beat them. I still don't have enough "rivals" so I haven't been able to test out the voice chat on the bog-standard DS microphone; I've been looking forward to that.

I kind of understand the elimination of save points. It forces you to learn the layout of the levels so you can find your way back to the ship and mitigates the "on rails" feel that Metroid Prime had in that you could essentially complete the game just blindly following the obvious path without actually paying much attention to the surroundings and all but eliminating the "lost on/in the alien planet" feeling that Metroid games are supposed to evoke.

Oh yeah and buy Phoenix Wright!! Dear lord, what a fantastic game. Makes for very good subway playing as there isn't any action in the gameplay yet it still requires loads of concentration so your commute will totally fly buy. I hear that Capcom is reprinting it and should be in stores again soon, if it isn't already.

er, that might not work. I've only heard stories of that extension. The only times I've had a problem with textareas being too small is when sites require me to paste my resume into a 3-line textarea, and then I'm usually too busy to go about installing firefox extensions.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, you may have to poke around for an updated copy.

Came across this program and thought you might be interested. You have to buy some special hardware to run homebrew code on the DS, though (a GBA cartridge that has some memory you can write to and some means of getting around the DS's copy protection).

Holy crap. I mean, HOLY CRAP! That is beyond awesome. I've been putting off trying all the homebrew crap but this might just motivate me.
