Hi, I have a DS and am wondering what games people really enjoy and recommend. I already have New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart and I highly recommend them.
I haven't bought any in over a year, but I've got some great ones. Geometry Wars Galaxies Jump! Ultimate Stars The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Soul Bubbles Sonic Rush Adventure Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Castlevania Portrait of Ruin and the best game ever to hit a handheld device... BANGAI-O SPIRITS!
I only heard of Spirit Tracks a few days ago (out of the loop with DS games) but I'm sure it'll be just as good if not better... but if you're a Zelda fan it's probably worth getting both since PH is also an awesome game.
To add: The World Ends With You (modern setting action rpg, very original and unique) Disgaea DS (strategy rpg) Civilisation Revolution (strategy, turn based)
Scribblenauts Clubhouse Games Final Fantasy Tactics A2 if you feel like importing... Taiko no Tatsujin Spirit Tracks and SoulSilver/HeartGold is coming out later and I anxiously am waiting for them.
Chrono Trigger DS (at least if you never played it before) Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (I'm pretty sure that Spirit Tracks is a direct sequel) Picross DS Tetris DS Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars And that's really about it. The DS game library has been pretty disappointing to me. And as far as I know, the only games I'm really looking forward to are: Zelda: Spirit Tracks Golden Sun DS Infinite Space Do you have a regular DS or DS Lite, or a DSi? If you don't have a DSi, I could recommend some great GBA games, there's a lot more good ones than DS games in my opinion.
PHOENIX WRIGHT!!!! The World Ends With You Call of Duty Games (I've enjoyed 4 and WAW, havn't played Mobilized yet) Mario and Luigi Partners in Time (If you don't mind getting a GBA game, go for Superstar Saga. It's way better and most likely alot cheaper.) Resident Evil Deadly Silence (Direct port of the original and a version where the mansion is re-arranged a bit) Mario Kart DS Tony Hawk's American Skateland Skate It Advance Wars: Dual Strike Dimentium: The Ward (Sequel in the works!) I'd say Puzzle Quest, but the iPhone one is cheaper and better The Castlevania games are really cool Final Fantasy IV also got alot of great reviews, and its a Final Fantasy game. You can't go wrong with that. So yeah, those are some great games. You should find something you like in there somewhere.
Line Rider 2! Best game for a time killer! (I'm not sure for the DS, but the Wii allows you to publish your level on YouTube)
