Essential DS games

This comes up quite regularly. I'd suggest doing a search for more suggestions.

I'd add:

- Advance Wars: Dark Conflict
- New Super Mario Bros.
- Mario Kart DS (Best. Version. Ever)
- Trauma Centre
- Pheonix Wright series
- Elite Beat Agents
 
Yeah mario kart is amazing!
So is the new zelda and FF4 (the only one i like weirdly)
I also like the new(ish) pokemon, none of that run about in the oldworlds nonsence is pretty fun (for the 60 hours i put into it and broke the original ds)

This seems to get asked every week :P And I shall give my standard reply:

Puzzle Quest

Best DS game I have played.
 
Most of the obvious ones have been said, so here's some others...

Professor Layton is great if you can be bothered to import it, though replay value is minimal.
Surprise vote for Metroid Prime: Pinball - I'm hooked on that at the moment.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is an awesome old school 2D platformer, absolutely brilliant.
Meteos is a great falling block type game, with an inventive mechanic.
For traditional falling blocks, Tetris DS is a very good version of the classic.
42 All Time Classics is a good variety of card games, board games, etc.

Already mentioned, but Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario Bros, EBA are all fantastic. I've been playing Mario Kart for about 2 years now and I'm not bored yet.
 
Final fantasy 4 is great :)

Agree, one of the best FF games to be released in AGES. I'm 24hrs+ in and it is superb.


Other great games:

Zelda Phantom Hourglass
NEW Super Mario Bros
Yoshi's Island 2
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney
Trauma Centre
Kirbys Canvas Curse
Geometry Wars: Galaxies
Mario Kart
