April was pretty terrible. My girlfriend left me after 3 and a half years...so I bought games to comfort myself!!!
I spent way too much money. I have like 4 dollars in the checking account now... -_-'
So, I bought NO MORE HEROES and I love this game. The style and language and behaviors in the characters is so awesome. Also one of the bosses uses a Virtual Boy for a targeting visor!
I also bougt MARIO KART WII. I am terrible at this game.... all my online friends slayed me when we played together... I just finished 50cc last night so it could get better. I do like the bikes.
Finally I bought a DS!!!! WOOO! I love the DS! I have no games cause I'm broke but I LOVE IT. I borrowed Professor Layton and beat it after three brain busting days and I only used hints on half of the puzzles, and faqs on all the math ones... since i'm TERRIBLE at math. The sequel needs to be localized RIGHT NOW.
But next month I'm gonna get a "device" and I'll be rolling in fun! So I need some suggestions for GREAT DS games. I already know Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, Cooking Mama, Ninja Gaiden, but what are some other gems of the system?
I found out the Wii is a great tool to make girls that are depressed happy again! My friend who is going thru a divorce came over and we played Wii Sports and Wii Play and she had a blast! She told me later that she forgot all of her problems. So guys, if you know girls that are single, get a Wii and invite them over for some cow racing. :D
not releated to the post but...did you used to frequent a forum back in the day? Where fighters was the main catch and people named Iori Yagami ran the world?
I know you already mentioned it, but I'll reinforce the point. I just finished the third Phoenix Wright game, and I'd have to say that the series is probably one of my all time favorites.
Well if you're like me and skipped several generations of mobile gaming (last one was the original GameBoy) then definitely check out the GBA libraries, I got over 20 excellent games off eBay for like 150$ with shipping:
GBA:
-Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo - The Revival
-Worms World Party
-Sonic Advance 2
-Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
-Mario Kart Super Circuit
-WarioWare Inc
DS:
Prof Layton
New SMB
Yoshi's Island DS
Mega Man ZX
Mario Kart DS
Contra 4
Great DS games:
Osu! Tatake! Ouendan 1/2 (import)
Rhythm Tengoku Gold (soon to be in the US)
Chrono Trigger DS
Retro game challenge
Zelda Phantom hour glass
Mario and Luigi partners in time
Taiko no tatsujin (import)
Final Fantasy 4
The world ends with you
Legacy of Ys: Books I & II
Space invaders extreme
Castlevania (all three)
Dragon Quest V
Kirby super star ultra
Truama center (try this out first if you like it, if you don't- I don't recommend the other two that recently came out. Under the knife should be good enough.)
Also don't get SNK vs Capcom card fighters, that's possibly the worst thing I've ever played. It doesn't play the the amazing neo geo pocket version, (which is like the best thing since sliced bread to me) it's a big disappointment.

Also congrats on the DS. Have a fun!
DS rules
lol no i frequented cherryroms and now dcforums. where are my suggestions!?
Get Zelda Phantom Hourglass. Its one of the best Ds games and definately the best use of the touch screen controls I've seen so far.
I know you already mentioned it, but I'll reinforce the point. I just finished the third Phoenix Wright game, and I'd have to say that the series is probably one of my all time favorites.
games?
Bleach DS if you're into fighters. The 2nd one hits next month I think.
Advance Wars. you must love it.
I hear Ninja Gaiden DS was good...
Trauma Center's awesome fun if you love Phonix Wright.
