Buying a DS in a few hours.

~J~ · 24 Jul 2006 at 23:54

Right, gonna treat myself to a DS in a few hours. Nipping into the 24hr shop before I goto work and will be getting Animal Crossing WW and 2 others.

I know there's millions of threads on this, but was wondering what people would recommend.

I'd like another online game, I'm 50/50 on MarioKart as I like my racing games to be faaaaaassssssttttttt and slick but I imagine MK is a bit cartoonyfied for my liking. Hated Mario64DS but am tempted on the new Mario one for it's lastability.

What I'd really really like is something like the Zelda adventures but I don't think there's any decent one out yet and don't want to really get a shiny DS and buying a GBA cart to go with it.

Any thoughts on 2 other good ones, but NOT Metroids (sorry, gonna get some stick I know, but I think its carp!!)

Advance Wars is a brilliant strategy game and Brain Training is good for something to play on every day

Doh! Forgot about AW!! Cheers.

not got a DS personally, but on all the forums I see people raving about 'Phoenix Wright' or something, might be worth checking that one out!

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is a must but you'll have to get it imported.

Other recomended games:

New Super Mario Bros
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney
Super Mario 64 DS
Trauma Center: Under the Knife

I took the plunge and traded in my psp for a ds lite as i was just not using the psp at all.
I'm glad i did and it seems many are doing the same.

Not what you want to hear, but I'm seriously considering returning my lite.

Brain Training is good fun, I became addicted to sudoku inside of five minutes, but none of the other games really appeal to me that much. What I get for an impulse purchase, tbh, went into Game for a 360 headset, came out with ds

Phoenix Wright, Castlevania and import Ouendan.

I must say that even though i have New Super Mario and Metriod Prime Hunters... the game i've been playing most is good old Tetris.
