  • XenoSNK, on 05/30/2008, -40/+7I've played Flash Portal. 2D Portal isnt the same.
    • elnerdo, on 05/31/2008, -2/+34Really? I thought Flash Portal was incredible. It did a very good job of feeling like real portal.
    • GRVeee2, on 05/31/2008, -12/+3WAIT SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT A 2D VERSION OF PORTAL IS NOT THE SAME AS ITS ORIGINAL 3D!??!??!?!? i dont like you
      • valarking, on 05/31/2008, -2/+9Considering he was comparing this DS game to the Flash portal game, I don't think his comment had anything to do with the 3D one, and this makes your ranting seem all the more childish.
        • SoulGrub, on 05/31/2008, -6/+1No actually, XenoSNK is comparing Flash Portal with original 3D portal.
        • Majorasblaze, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2Try again, he's really comparing Flash and 2D.
        • petebot, on 06/02/2008, -0/+1Also, try to pick up on sarcasm next time.
  • Badam89, on 05/31/2008, -28/+6I'm going to try this game soon.
  • Minishlink, on 05/31/2008, -23/+9This game is awesome !
    Thank you T4ils for this port ! :D
  • ursername180, on 05/31/2008, -8/+63It's good. The controls are a bit awkward at first though. Definitely worth the download.
    • TobiasParker, on 05/31/2008, -19/+3This is total comment spam, but since this article is a digg graveyard and i wasted 15 minutes of my life doing this, i am reposting.


      This isn't a triumph
      I'm making a note here huge excess
      It's hard to understand this kind of action

      Those guys at nintendo
      They do what they must because they can
      For the good of all of us
      Except the ones who buy games

      But there's no sense crying over every re-hash
      They will just stop deving until we run out of cash
      And then the R&D's done and no one has fun
      Even though we bought their games.

      I've become angry
      I'm being so sincere right now
      Because you stole my cash and tricked me
      And tore me to pieces
      Because i really liked Portal
      And as i burned for Portal 2
      I was so angry with you

      And this point i'm making is treading the line
      Of rant or topic it is hard to define
      I'm sad cause i yearn for a sequel that could earn
      A grammy for Coulton's Still Alive

      But go ahead and leave me
      I think i would prefer to go and hide
      Shovelware for the Wii can't save you
      Maybe The Red-Ring
      Or Playsta-tion's Crazy Price

      Anyway their games are great
      So pretty and fun
      But look at me still talking when i have things to do
      Who am i kidding i am just like you
      I have articles that i must digg
      and comments that are too big
      I'm not really sure I'm Alive.

      Someone let me know I'm Alive
      I am bored and not sure I'm Alive
      I troll digg to much to be Alive
      Am I Alive...?
      AM I Alive?
      • pigducksheep, on 05/31/2008, -2/+4That was unbearably stupid. I'm not even sure what you're angry about.
      • Nekiruhs, on 05/31/2008, -1/+3"Those guys at nintendo"... You do realize Nintendo had nothing to do with Portal. Valve made it.
        • TobiasParker, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2I beleive i was referencing the Nintendo DS.
      • jpnadia, on 06/01/2008, -1/+4B+ for effort, D for execution. Poor observation of meter scheme, syllable-per-line counts do not sync, and a line is missing from one of your verses. Content fails to capture the layering of ambiguity present in the original and instead comes across as whiny.

        Please accept this block of aged cheddar as a consolation prize.
      • Mejogid, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2I know you tried, and I'm sure it sounded good in your head but... that didn't work.
    • djh816, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Agreed. (Also make sure to dldi patch as it does access the file system to read/write saves.)
  • MegaMonkie, on 05/31/2008, -41/+5It's nice... but Portal isn't meant to be played on a DS, IMO.
  • geeddra, on 05/31/2008, -29/+6Looks pretty bad
    • astronautje, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2so does you mother in the morning, Ds ROCKS!!!!
  • hydratedsquash, on 05/31/2008, -27/+6The portal person is a gal normally.
  • ELLIS1128, on 05/31/2008, -27/+5The cookie is a lie.
    • astronautje, on 06/01/2008, -0/+11. it's the cake is a lie
      2. the cake isn't a lie, you can find it!
  • ryan926, on 05/31/2008, -66/+2"This may not be a triumph.
    I'm making a note here, huge FAILURE.
    It's hard to overstate my concern.
    Aperture Science, we do what we must because we need the money."

    • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/31/2008, -1/+55It's homebrew. No one's making money off of it.
    • The0, on 05/31/2008, -11/+5Good lord, is that you, Weird Al? Because that is genius. Its so funny it doesn't even matter that it doesn't rhyme or have any rhythm whatsoever!
    • BlueTunicLink, on 05/31/2008, -12/+3That doesn't even rhyme or fit the meter.
  • Khyber00, on 05/31/2008, -72/+2OMG check this out

    http://digg.com/politics/Americans_are_exposed
    • H1tchh1k3r, on 05/31/2008, -3/+12OMG NO.
    • Dustmuffins, on 05/31/2008, -1/+7Wow, you're lame. Buried, reported, and buried your article just to twist the knife.
  • whitey9, on 05/31/2008, -26/+4It looks like a terrible version of the flash version. Which is fun. This is poop.

    http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/portal.php
  • CDoug03, on 05/31/2008, -25/+2A G G C G....

    Yes....

    God I hate that commercial. Hot girls don't play DS.
  • frozensnake, on 05/31/2008, -27/+0this was a triumph.

    haha, im the first to do it!

    (didnt verify )
  • mwaleed86, on 05/31/2008, -22/+1will there be cake??
    • Bender1001, on 05/31/2008, -1/+7You didn't read the article or you'd know you were picking up pieces of cake while playing it! For shame...
      • mwaleed86, on 05/31/2008, -5/+0ahh..whenever portal is mentioned..someone comes up with a sentence where 'cake' is mentioned!...this time no body did!..so i did!
        • nar3024, on 05/31/2008, -1/+5Fail. Please stick with mainstream memes in the future

  • KnifeEdged, on 05/31/2008, -20/+1friggin epic man!

    I love portal
  • twertyto, on 05/31/2008, -21/+2The DS is so bad ass. If you haven't played LoZ: Phantom Hourglass on the DS save up your money by not eating for a week and get one.
    • Innagadadavida, on 05/31/2008, -2/+11Or, you know, you could get a job. Then you can, like, buy it - without skipping meals.
    • Kronk42583, on 06/01/2008, -1/+1mariokart DS might just be the best Mariokart ever. and i still play New Super Mario Bros. after years. the 2 castlevanias are awesome as well. i guess there have been some great 3rd party RPGs, but not a ton else. still awesome.
    • bagboyrebel, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2In all honesty, phantom hourglass wasn't very good, it's the only Zelda game so far that I haven't been able to convince myself to finish.
  • Artemis11, on 05/31/2008, -24/+148These comments suck.
    • fakeplasticsnow, on 06/01/2008, -12/+4And you sure are helping by making another stupid comment stating the obvious.
      • blagoaw, on 06/01/2008, -3/+3And you sure are helping by making another stupid comment stating the obvious.
  • H1tchh1k3r, on 05/31/2008, -21/+2These comments suck.

    http://tinyurl.com/5g5g2o
    • Cloud7654, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2And I really hate the fact that you keep spamming that video in the comments of every story.
  • se1zure, on 05/31/2008, -15/+3no 3d?
  • RespectableGuy, on 05/31/2008, -14/+02d portal? No thanks.
  • MrsButtersworth, on 05/31/2008, -17/+3Absolutely awful music.

      • bagboyrebel, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1This is why we usually don't tell people to be original.
      • petebot, on 06/02/2008, -0/+1weird...the first one has negative diggs, but this has 18+...?
    • evildeadguy, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4its hard for them to be original when they are all from the chans.
    • jamesduh, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0i lawled at the lyrics, make it a real song imo.
  • Gioleb, on 05/31/2008, -15/+3... A triumph?
  • brbroman, on 05/31/2008, -23/+10bury me down
  • control98408, on 05/31/2008, -14/+30Damn, its actually kinda hard, but works flawlessly on my ds. Good job guys.
  • requiem3, on 05/31/2008, -10/+3Wow, looks well done, definitely gonna try this.
  • carlosauresrex, on 05/31/2008, -11/+2super sick game dude.
  • Halbero, on 05/31/2008, -11/+1holy wow all the comments are getting buried.
  • Acglaphotis, on 05/31/2008, -14/+13Is there a way to softmod the ds without having to buy any of those hardmods? It's a little hard to get one where i live.
    • TheHammar, on 05/31/2008, -0/+11the homebrew carts aren't really mods at all. They work just like a normal game cart... only you can put whatever you want on it. I'm just guessing here, but I'm pretty sure Dealextreme ships most places since the stuff comes from china.
    • endlessoul, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1I'm playing this on my M3 DS Real. Google that and you should be set.
    • RetroGamerBruno, on 05/31/2008, -1/+6R4DS for the win, best thing to ever spend money on. Wish there was more homebrew like this. Since there is no soft-mod like for the psp, the ds doesn't have a good developer base. :(
    • Radica1Faith, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1Yeah its just a cartridge no modding involved. And why are you worried about getting one near where you live. Ordering online is really the only thing that makes sense if you are going to get a flash cartridge for this kind of stuff.
      • Acglaphotis, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1I live in Venezuela. They don't just ship these things here, ya know? ; )
        • DarkDx, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2What a coincidence, I live in venezuela too! ;) Maybe you could try a courier... Oh, and it's also much better when you know someone that lives in USA and it's coming (or someone that's going but it's stayinh in a house and not in a hotel).
        • Acglaphotis, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1Yeah, i'm going to ask a friend to bring it. Hope it's worth it.
    • mKdiR, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1The R4DS and M3 Real chips are made in the same factory, and are only slightly different but do the same thing basically. Strange how it took me about 3 months to find an R4 but M3's were easy to find.
      • RamdomWolf, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1Depending on when you were looking I'd probably chalk that up to Nintendo's recent crack down on R4s. Most people look at that and say "But what about all the other chips? Silly Nintendo" I figure they're just going after them one at a time.
  • duckyinc, on 05/31/2008, -9/+2No this is an epic fail.. by aparature science
  • Hobbes24, on 05/31/2008, -7/+56you pick up pieces of cake during the game? buried for inaccuracy.

    the cake is a lie.
    • notwizt, on 06/01/2008, -2/+0(spoiler)

      You do see the cake in the end of portal, if i remember correctly, when the light gets blown out. I remember getting the feeling that "Wow, there was a cake after all!"
  • derekivey, on 05/31/2008, -4/+55These comments sound like they are from some pay per post site...
  • LittleTaina, on 05/31/2008, -6/+1will have to check it out
  • wukillabee, on 05/31/2008, -4/+21complete this analogy

    Nintendo 64 --> Project 64 Emulator

    Gameboy Advance --> Visualboy Advance Emulator

    Nintendo DS --> __________________
    • moocow1452, on 05/31/2008, -0/+13iDeaS?
      • iofthestorm, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2iDeaS is pretty good, it should be able to run this if you DLDI patch the .nds file with the R4DS patch and then set the options to use the R4DS DLDI driver.
    • Intrepion, on 05/31/2008, -0/+17Nintendo DS --> ??? --> Profit!!!
    • xOKxWhy, on 05/31/2008, -1/+23NO$GBA?
    • TheHammar, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4Haven't tried it out but there's one called no$gba that I've heard of... probably others.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NO$GBA
      • Rezatron, on 05/31/2008, -2/+1Nintendo DS --> nothing all that great ATM
    • JonLatane, on 05/31/2008, -2/+4Nintendo DS --> Nintendo DS with a flashcart like R4DS or CycloDS

      I can only assume your analogy is "console" --> "product needed to play ROMs of console's games." Seriously, though, one of the brilliant things about the NDS's design is that you can't really emulate it on a PC, because even with a mouse, you don't have that quick access to the touchscreen you do on a real DS. I couldn't imagine Viewtiful Joe DS (among many, many others) on an emulator.
      • o0joshua0o, on 06/02/2008, -1/+1On a tablet PC, on the other hand...it might work perfectly.

  • exomni, on 05/31/2008, -7/+1This game sucks.
  • Puppetfunk, on 05/31/2008, -9/+2Honestly: I hate that song with the burning passion of a thousand suns, when will it die!?
    • juniorb, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1When the earth is consumed in the tidal forces of our swollen red giant sun. In other words, in about 6 billion years.
  • iofthestorm, on 05/31/2008, -3/+7Incidentally, if you don't have a DS or a homebrew cart, some homebrew works well in DS emulators such as iDeaS or DualiS and no$gba and others I can't remember right now. So if you just want to try it out right now, you can do that. But there might be some additional effort needed for some homebrew, you might have to DLDI patch it before running in an emulator. This one complains about that, for instance.
  • Vodd9, on 05/31/2008, -7/+1A 2d version has been out for quite a while already.

  • MarshyTheKid, on 05/31/2008, -6/+1Its pretty fun. I'm stuck on the level with a bunch of no portal walls though. Sad.
  • madwh, on 05/31/2008, -7/+1I'm sorry guys but 2D Portal DOES suck.
  • popltree2, on 05/31/2008, -8/+1This was a triumph
  • NeoNcP, on 05/31/2008, -8/+1Anyone else like the song? Anybody know who/what it was?
  • christof53, on 05/31/2008, -7/+62Portal(ble)
    Get it?
    Thanks, I'm really funny.
  • Slackluster, on 05/31/2008, -5/+4Cool little game, my hat goes off to the developer but they really need to tweak the controls for picking up the crates. It's probably not a good idea to require the player to do something very unintuitive and difficult just to start the game.
  • KingGorilla, on 05/31/2008, -7/+2If it's on the DS doesn't it imply it's portable
