Planet Puzzle League.
It has a clock... and a alarm. That's it. It's a gaming handheld, not a palm pilot.
i'm assuming your wife is your hand right? then logically a DS is the best gift to get her. whats her name? rosey?
pick up trauma center and mario cart.
if its not obvious why you should have a ds, then you really don't want one.
The DS web browser sucks. Use it for games. your wife can use it for that beauty game that manages her skin or whatever.
Mario Kart DS.
Picross DS
Ehh, the DS can't really sync up to your PC, however it can play a wide variety of games made to be experienced by all ages. The games are the focus, and said games are
numerous and have been received well (mostly). There is a DS Browser for surfing the Net on the go, but it doesn't have flash, so there is a great deal you cannot see.
I recommend that you get:
-Brain Age 2 DS Lite Bundle
-Planet Puzzle League
-Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
-Phoenix Wright
It keeps time and can wake you up. Other than that it does one importent thing...it lays games. Which is what it should do.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
There is a frickin eye sight trainer on the thing! You can make your eyes better. The real questions is what the DS can't do. The answer to that is nothing.
What Cowzilla said is absolute truth, plus Arugala pointed out that it "lays games." It's so pimp!
The Nintendo DS lays games? No wonder 3rd party games don't sell.
Animal Crossing for the DS
Phoenix wright is an awesome game. but its not for everyone.
also might want to pick up Castlevania:Portrait of Rune
Ok, though these are All great titles and what not I'm sure, this isn't helping my cause... see, she is a real flesh and bone women, with real ability to roll over at night take the blankets (though living in Arizona, not a problem till around january). Guess I should have said we already have a Wii, and the fact that there is increased integration between the devices is MY selling point, but she needs it to do something, otherwise, she'll just use the wii, ps3, or her pc and popcap. Nothing though eh? Medical journals? Email Clients? Nothing on a cart that could get me... oops, I mean her... a DS?
Guess I didn't make it clear enough just yet that if all it does is lay games, and has clock functions, I don't get a DS... She doesn't want yet another palm, she wants something that does half the amount of stuff and lays games... (dammit, now you have ME saying it..)
Games. Thats really about all it does is games.
Unless you get an R4, then the possibilities are endless
You can import Somelier DS which helps you select wines, or bartender ds which helps you make drinks.
I like to use my DS when I poop.
An R4 gets you Music and video playback. With Moonshell you can do some other things, but I've not played with it. If you like to tinker and she's patient, you can do a lot of stuff with an R4, but if not I would only promise Music (MP3 only CBR) and video playback. The R4 is what? 50$
I think I accidently started a trend. Lays games sounds better than plays anyway. But if you need the Ds to do something else to get it, you're shit outta luck. It lays games, there is a web browser you can get, it trains your brain thats about it.
@Arugala9
You have been the ONLY user without a custom avatar that I have remembered - so please - make a custom avatar.
M3 DS SIMPLY + NDS HOMEBREW ON WIKIPEDIA AND GOOGLE.
It sounds like your better off with a Sony PSP, it lays games and also does other stuff like play music, watch UMD's, watch video files, connect to your PC to transfer files & some other stuff. The problem is that the games it lays are not as good as the DS.
There is a new PSP model which lays games quicker than the older model.
Yes, I WOULD be better off with a PSP (I would, she wouldn't), but I ALSO want a DS around the house to play with..> I know what games the PSP lays, in fact, I SHOULD have my GOW demo any day now, but I needed an excuse not to buy her another ring or necklace, or blender, this christmas. I appreciate the ideas, but I need something to validate it OTHER than brain age, wario ware and Picros.
@VWGTI: Lolz
Get new wife ASAP.
A DS is the same price as 3 decent meals for 2 at TGI Fridays. It's $120. She shouldn't be giving you such a hassle for a low proce item, no?
Good DS games
Elite Beat Agents
Picross
New York Times Crossword
Touch Detective
Touch Detective 2 1/2
Trauma Center
Brain Training
Brain Training 2
Cooking Mama
Cooking Mama 2
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Hotel Dusk
Another Code
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright Trial and Tribulations
Planet Puzzle League
Puzzle Quest
Indeed, Somelier DS would be good for her too, to chase on japanese import. Get her to make you drinks and cook the food Mama makes.
Ok, I agree, we need an R4 review... their site is too sparse to really give me a good idea, so I'd love a good review... or a good link
