Hallo all :)

My gf is always gaming on her mobile...playing scrollers (Mario & Sonic-style stuff). When Nintendo DS adverts come on the telly I watch her carefully and she does stop what shes doing to watch.

So I've decided to get her one for her b'day.

However I am CLUELESS about DS games. Keeping in mind the kind of games she likes - 2D platform scrollers, puzzle-type stuff, 2D shooters (Space Invaders-type games)...what games should I get with it?!

As you all may have guessed she aint too interested in 3D games but by all means if you know of a woman-friendly 3D game then please mention it. But the main deal here is the 2D stuff.

Please help me guys :D

Thanks!! :)
 
Trauma Centre (I love slicing people open)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Mario Kart
 
I just got a DS the other week and its great. Been playing Mario Kart i'm gonna look into Ace Attourney. The brain trainers are great and what about that new simpsons game think thats a platform game.
 
I got my girlfriend a DS last xmas and she loves playing Mario Kart and Trauma Centre. She also loves playing the sudoku on brain training, it's my game and she has done like 90% of the sudoku and I'm only on something like 25%.

Pokemon pearl/diamond are also great adventure games, even if your not really into pokemon, my girlfriend loves it.
 
Yea pokemon would probably be a winner - got it in canada in the summer and just played it non stop on flights and in the car etc. Called all my pokemon rude names too...

Try pirates of the caribbean or something too, and mario... Wario wares is good as well for a short play every now and again..
 
obvious ones to go for would be:

new super marios bros
sonic rush

really cant fail if shes into mario and sonic, basic 2d platformers that are really popular.

tetris is a good puzzle game, im sure you know tetris
meteos is another really good puzzler worth checking out :)

Nice lists here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17791593&highlight=lite+username_craig321

Brain Training
Pokemon
Nintendogs
Zelda
 
My girlfriend enjoys the same kind of things - puzzles and platformers. She also enjoys any game that uses the stylus in an innovative way.

Zoo Keeper is probably the best puzzle game and Super Mario Bros. is undoubtedly the best platformer. For innovative games, try Elite Beat Agents, Trauma Centre and Cooking Mama. Buying her Cooking Mama might send out the wrong impression though. :)
 
Zelda : Phantom Hourglass (<< Best game on DS imho)

Elite Beat Agents (If she likes DDR type stuff, fun game)

42-In-1 (loads of stuff to play)


As for 2D platformers:

NEW Super Mario Bros.
Sonic Rush
Super Princes Peach
Yoshi's Island 2


Then there are the puzzel games:

Tetris DS
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong - March of the Mini's
Kirby's Canvas Curse
Meteos


Other great games:

Trauma Centre
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney
