Calling All Nintendo DS Owners!

I'm getting a DS for my birthday in about a month and I don't know what games to get. I was wondering what your favorite games are and which ones you recomend. Thanks in advance

RedDragonX · Jun 02, 2009 12:18 PM

Well I'm sad to say I've never had a DS, only played one I burrowed from a friend once...so I can't give you much in terms of what games to buy.

Taco Godess · Jun 02, 2009 2:51 PM

Well, I don't know what kind of games you like, but I suggest Animal Crossing: Wild World.

MarioSpyro · Jun 02, 2009 4:31 PM

I have a DS I would help to know what kind of games your into. I recommend:

Bleach:Blade of Fate
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Mario Party DS
Mario Kart DS
Mario Hoops 3 on 3
and
New Super Mario Bros.

BlueSpirit94 · Jun 02, 2009 6:01 PM

Thnaks to those that have replied. I enjoy RPGs, adventure games, action games, mario games, shooter, fantasy, pretty much anything.

Nightfall · Jun 02, 2009 6:27 PM

Yes Animal Crossing: Wild World is VERY good, keeps you entertained for ages! May I also suggest the Pokemon titles for the DS? These are Diamond, Pearl and Platinum (the new one).

I have a game called Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise. OMG, it's soooo addictive. Basically you create a garden to attract many different types of pinata. Once you have them, you can mate them (or it's called 'romancing' in the game :wub: ) and have more. Sounds simple but trust me: it'll take over your life once you get into it! Highly recommended by me. :-P

Also, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a personal favourite of mine. It's got lots of puzzles and LOADS of exploration. You'll never be bored!

Phew... I hope that helped. smile

RedDragonX · Jun 02, 2009 10:34 PM

Well anything with Mario Kart involved is usually a winner smile

bmah · Jun 03, 2009 12:32 AM

If you seem to like Warioware, get Rhythm Heaven. It's incredibly good, but highly undiscussed in most places. Check out Youtube vids for this game (or any game you're interested in).

spyros#1fan · Jun 03, 2009 12:38 AM

Well, I only have one game that I can play for a while...But it's still not that great. But, I DO suggest Animal Crossing : Wild World, it's great.
But, anyways, I kinda suggest Drawn to Life, but NOT Drawn to Life, Spongebob Squarepants editition....XP It sucks

Blaze the Dragon · Jun 03, 2009 12:39 AM

Well, if you're into RPGs, I suggest Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. It's a bit challenging, but it's still a very good game. There's also Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time (or Explorers of Darkness).

Oh, yeah! I've heard of that game. It looks cool.
(Sorry for the double post. XP)

Hurricos_McBreixo · Jun 03, 2009 12:44 AM

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon = addicting.

bmah · Jun 03, 2009 12:48 AM

Thats brings up another thing. What genre of games are you generally interested in? It might help to narrow things down if you give a better idea of what you like to play. Mystery Dungeon is an RPG game, Mario Kart is a racing/party game, Rhythm Heaven is a musical game, etc.

ember_da_dragon · Jun 03, 2009 4:56 AM

pokemon mystery dungeon was very easy for me = fair
final fantasy = good
mario kart is better
mario party = okay
drawn to life = easy and hard in some bits = good

BlueSpirit94 · Jun 03, 2009 9:23 AM

Thank you all for the help so far. I have done research on some of the games you guys have recomensed and have a short list if the games that really impressed me that I will probably get

Mario Kart Ds
Mario Party DS
New Super Mario Bros
Pokemon Platinum
Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Animal Crossing Wild World

ember_da_dragon · Jun 03, 2009 12:16 PM

oh crap i forgot pokemon platinum mad
you should definitely buy the ones you said

MarioSpyro · Jun 03, 2009 4:51 PM

There's also a DS game called

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword smile

It's a action/adventure game.

ontels · Jun 03, 2009 5:21 PM

Sonic rush is a good game, especially if you enjoyed the original Sonic games.

MarioSpyro · Jun 03, 2009 5:47 PM

If you like Mario and Sonic and Olympic game I would suggets

Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games

I't fun it's like mario party it has a lot of good games to play. smile

ontels · Jun 03, 2009 6:42 PM

You probally want that one for the Wii thoue.

John Man 1234 · Jun 03, 2009 8:25 PM

Great choices you will love all of these games I guarantee it. Also yeah Mario and Sonic at The Olympic Games is fun on all systems but for Wii it's probaly the best. Please forgive me for changing the subject.

Hopefully I'm not too late to drop a few suggestions.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness (EPIC-LY ADDICTING!)
Mario Kart DS (The best Mario Kart that's portable, baby!)
Chrono Trigger (decent port of the ol' SNES game)
New Super Mario Bros. (It's Mario getting back to his roots, who doesn't love that?)
Metroid Prime Hunters (It's good)
Contra IV (I don't know if it's out yet, but it looks EPIC)
also, if you're willing to wait a few months, get Mario & Luigi RPG 3 (it's an easy-to-learn RPG, and insanely hilarious)

Yes, that's very addicting! big_smile I still can't stop playing it!

Games:
-Pokemon D/P or the new Pokemon Platinum.
-Any Mario games (They're all pretty entertaining!)
-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of time/darkness, Blue/Red.
-Animal crossing: Wild World (I've played it once.)
-The Legend of Spyro 1,2,3.
-Yoshi's Island (So wacky!)
-Wario Ware Touched! (It's really fun and addicting!:D )

That's all I've come up with.

Yes I agree too, it can keep you entertained for hours. A suprisingly good game with a simple, but hooking storyline. Quite cute sometimes too.

Yep, highly recommend this. smile
