So I got a DS... now what?
cup of cocoa | 11:34 AM on 12.23.2008 29 comments


I got myself a DS in a... well Christmas gift of sorts. At the moment I am playing Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney wile having Portrait of Ruin lying beside it.

What I ask now is what good games are there? I am planing to get Chrono Trigger because I haven't played that in ages. I am also eyeballing some decent platform shooter thingy - like Megaman...

Any suggestions please?

-Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is enjoyable if you expect more of the same like the GBA one, not the Playstation/PSP one.
-Kirby Super Star Ultra
-Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
-Contra 4
-Chrono Trigger
-Buy a NOT R4 or some other similar NOT device. Your life will be changed.

Electroplankton.

Amazon still has a few copies, and believe me, the 80 bucks is worth it.

Or you can get Korg 10 if you're feeling cheap.

Honestly just walk into a game store, close your eyes and pick a game at random. You have a 50% chance of picking a game that is pure crap and 50% chance of picking a game that will become the most awesome thing you have every played.

Oh and I recommend Clubhouse Games.

Celicacrazed: I doubt that - last time I tried it I got a "Bratz" game and fear the next time will be "High School Musical". I probably works well in the US but Sweden is a online store kind of place. :3 Thanks though.

I am seriously getting The World Ends With You, Professor Layton and will be looking at a R4 device of some sorts.

Thank you all for the tips, merry Christmas :P

1) set the DS on your coffee table in the living room.

2) stare at it hatefully for tricking you into buying it.

It's true, R4's are for Thieves and Hoodlums.

I saw a friend buy one, run outside his house, knife a granny and take her purse.

My favorite DS games have been:

Clubhouse Games
Planet Puzzle League
N+
Korg DS
Tetris DS
New Super Mario Brothers
Advance Wars
Final Fantasy Tactics
Elite Beat Agents
Mario Kart DS
Mario VS Donkey Kong 2: Rise of the Minis

I'm just sitting here thinking of ALL the good DS games and realizing how many of them I actually finish, which is odd considering that I'm older than most of you and I only ever play them when on the toilet.
