At long last, I am soon to be picking up a DS Lite for myself (and just in time for the Night shifts I'll be doing over the holidays), and was wondering if any of you communitarians have advice on what to pick up. Here's what I'm already planning on getting.
- Animal Crossing: Wild World - Final Fantasy A2: Grimoire of the Rift - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations - Phoenix Wright: And Justice for All - Ace Attorney Apollo Justice - Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Professor Layton and The Curious Village - Brain Training - More Brain Training - Trauma Centre: Under the Knife - The World Ends with You Anything Else I should definately be picking up. Also feel free to throw in any GB Advance games that I really should play too, I sold my Advance years ago along with all of the games and only recently picked a second hand one up for €20.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a sublimely happy game. Adorable adventure game with some deep strategy mixed in.
Also Space Invaders Extreme is surprisingly good. It's put out by Square-Enix and I promise you, it's not just another rehash of Space Invaders. I thought to myself, I've played Space Invaders a thousand times. I don't need an update with "edgy" graphics. But I was so wrong. This game is like Space Invaders mixed with Rez and with Aphex Twin doing the soundtrack. There's a cool symmetry that goes on with the music and the way you fire the missiles. It feels like you're creating songs as you play. I tried it begrudgingly and ended up loving it.
If you like import games, make sure to pick up Ouendan 2,ts the Japanese version of Elite Beat Agents, and it is soooo much better. The game starts out really easy, but as you progress through the songs, they get harder, and harder, until you have to try a song tens of times to beat it, but it never gets frustrating. The game also has amazing music, if you want to know more about Japanese music, play this game. But you have to pay like $65 bucks for it.
Rhythm Tengoku Gold is suposed to be coming to NA sometime as "Rhythm Heaven". It's a rhythm based minigame collecion developed by the guys who made Wario-Ware. I haven't played it yet, but it is supposed to be really good.
Kirby: Canvas Curse is really good. Kirby takes to form of a ball, and you have to draw little rainbow lines that Kirby follows. It came out like right after the DS was released, but it is one of the early cases of touch screen gameplay done right.
Pretty much any of the Castlevania games on DS are really great. I like Dawn of Sorrow (the first one) the best. I haven't played Order of Ecclisia yet, but it is supposed to be really good too.
Tetris DS, in my opinion, is the best version of Tetris out there. It has tonnes of different game modes, great online multiplayer, and lots of great throwbacks toward Nintendo games of old. There really is nothing better than listening to remixes of Nintendo songs while playing Tetris.
Also, Zelda Minish Cap is a great Zelda game. (Ya, I know, I know, it's not a DS game, but you can play it on your DS :P) It is actually my favourite handheld Zelda game of all time, even though it's a Capcom game.
tetris ds.
planet puzzle league.
mario kart ds.
and gameboy advance...
zelda link to the past.
zelda minish cap.
super puzzle fighter 2.
kirbys nightmare in dreamland.
lunar legend.
youll have fun.
Elite Beat Agents is dirt cheap now, under 10 bucks if you look around. I loved it and I hate rhythm games.
Also, if you're into puzzle games opt for Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League (aka Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League) over the Brain Training games for more replayability.
Can't forget Mario Kart DS. The online is probably is lacking now but I'd still consider it the best MK game.
Other than that, if you're into RPGs the two Golden Sun GBA games are very good. Have fun finding those though.
Geometry Wars Galaxies is quite good for Geometry Wars on the DS. Not sure if you enjoy Geometry Wars but it works surprisingly well using the d-pad and stylus. There are a ton of levels plus retro evolved which is sharable.
N+ is N+ on the DS. If you enjoyed it on XBLA, chances are you will like it in portable form. Its $20 and works well as a pick up and play game.
As far as GBA games go I would recommend Minish Cap, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Rhythmn Tengoku which is import only. Its from the people that made Warioware and its crazier than that. Also Warioware on the DS is really fun if you can find it.
