Did anyone get the new DS - Page 2

For reasons I can't quite figure out myself, I have not been in the mood to play Spirit Tracks in like 5 days now. I don't know why, just don't feel like sitting down with my DS lately. Though I know the moment I do, I'll remember how much I love Spirit Tracks, which I totally do.

I have the Collector's Edition Guide, don't know if I mentioned that and when I do play, I follow that sucker page by page. I want to get everything and make the game last. Maybe that's why I haven't played, I want to make it last. Haha.

So school is out for a few weeks and I finally broke down and turned my Warcraft account back on. REALLY hoping I can control myself. But my bother has been begging me to play. I haven't missed it in the nearly 8 months I've been gone, but I hope I can keep that in mind and keep it casual!

I do have still like 20 unfinished DS games. I want to try and finish SOME during my break.

Was gonna sit down with Zelda tonight but just feeling tired. Started watching Lost again as well, so that's taking up my time. I just started watching that show from the beginning not 6 months ago with my wife, and now I just feel like plowing through them...again,

Glad you are here to talk about Zelda. Makes me want to play.

I'm trying to avoid using a walkthrough with this game.  I've consulted it for two minor things (one involved making sure a rabbit I was missing wasn't in a maze, as I wasn't doing that again needlessly), but I want to avoid that if I can.  I recently played a game called Ultima Underworld 2 and I set out determined not to use a walkthrough.  I ended up consulting it more frequently than I would have liked.  You get stuck in a spot and say, "Just this one time," but it quickly becomes a crutch.  

Actually, in the case of that game, it was sort of a necessity.  There was a crucial quest item called basilisk oil that you HAD to have to finish the game.  There were about five of them scattered througout the world, but they were unidentified!  When you picked one up, it said, "You find a colorless potion."  Colorless potions in the game generally give you health, so I drank every one I came across.  Including all the basilisk oil.    I used a walkthrough to go to every location to make sure I hadn't missed one, and I hadn't.  Fortunately, someone made a game editor, so I was able to insert a bottle into the game and finish.  Would have been about 20 hours down the drain otherwise.

Anyway, I've got four rabbits left to find.  Then, it's off to fight what I think is the final battle.  I'm lacking three heart containers, but I think I know how to get them.  So, I'll try to do that before heading in.

Well, I finished this tonight, and the answer is you cannot keep playing after the end.  You are prompted to save before the final battle, and once you win, you restart right before that save.  So, if you have unfinished business, you can go and do it, but then you would have to refight the last fight.  Or not, if you just want to mess around.  I seem to remember a Zelda game or two where you could wander around after the credits rolled and be lauded by all the people of the game world.  Heh.

Really? I don't remember a Zelda game doing that. I know some give new quests, like the original, but don't remember talking to people. Grats on finishing it. I haven't played in a week now!

I don't know if any allow that.  Maybe I'm thinking of San Andreas.    But, maybe the Minish Cap?  Maybe it allowed you to keep merging kinstones?  I didn't get into that aspect as much, so I'm not sure.  I could probably put the cartridge in and see.  My old save should still be good.
