Getting a DS...

Flarecobra · 06-03-2007, 02:05 AM

Like the title said, I'm getting a DS, and wanting to pick up a couple of games for it. Any suggestions?

Phoenix Wright, New Super Mario Bros., and Final Fantasy 3 are all fun.
Plus, they're all I was able to afford, and therefore all I can mention.

Mario Kart DS. It is one of those games that I have played so much that I wouldn't be surprised if the cartridge melted, but it is just as fun today as it was the day I got it.

Elite Beat Agents- rediculously funny.
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin- Castlevania the best its been since symphony of the night. Cause nothing beats Symphony of the Night.
Metroid Prime Hunters- Its Metroid Prime with better combat control.

Well, I'm fairly bad at rythem games like DDR and Guitar Hero (Don't ask.) so how much like that is EBA?

It's a rythm game, true and true.

Portrait of Ruin, Metroid Prime Hunters, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin, Mario Kart DS, FUCKING PUZZLE QUEST!, Pokemon Diamond, Yoshi's Island DS, Trauma Center: UTK, and...um...New Super Mario Bros.

I think that's about it. Plus Puzzle Quest just started it's second production run, so there'll be copies in stores pretty soon.

Dunno about Trauma Center.....spent enough time in hospitols to know that I hate going to them.

Hmm Castlevania(both of them), Phoenix Wright(all of them), Pokemon Diamond, Mario and Luigi PiT, Kirby's Canvas Curse (often forgotten but VERY awesome) and Yoshi's Island 2 are what I recommend. Contact is also pretty good though good luck finding it now, it's old and ATLUS made.

I'll also warn against Metroid Prime Hunters or at least try beofre you buy, it never hooked me, also all control schemes tore my hands to shreds. May be different with a DS lite and if you're not left and big handed like me though. But that's something to make sure of before wasting money on it.

Oh and remember it's region free so if you see a game while overseas, or see one that's not getting out of Japan that you like the look of go for it there shouldn't be any hassles(I think with the Jap games you have to turn the DS' internal language to Japanese but you can do that and back anytime you start up the machine).

Oooo...That's something I never knew about. Especally with my job, and how often I go overseas, that's a good thing to keep in mind.
