getting a ds lite need games

6/4/2006 8:18:56 PM

ive got:

New Super Mario Bros
Meteos
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Kirby's Canvas Curse
Yoshi's Touch and Go
Wario Ware Touched
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

All are good, many are excellent. You can count on Castlevania rocking too, I just never got around to buying it.

The only 2 I could probably live without is Wario Ware and Yoshi cuz they get old after a while, but I'm sure thats true for anything

6/4/2006 8:26:35 PM

The games I've played the most, in order, are:
Advance Wars DS
Mario Kart DS
Castlevania DS

6/4/2006 9:12:09 PM

You DEFINITELY need Mario Kart DS

Metroid Prime Hunters is really good too.

6/4/2006 9:29:15 PM

Super Princess Peach
Mario Kart DS
Kirby's Canvas Curse
Yoshi's Touch and Go

6/4/2006 9:47:10 PM

Brain Age is really fun
Big Brain Academy will be even better

definitely Mario Bros and Metroid and Advance Wars

6/4/2006 11:01:09 PM

Definitely go for New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS. Sonic Rush is one of the best Sonic games ever. Castlevania: DoS is a sure thing too.

6/4/2006 11:03:01 PM

I'm almost done with New Super Mario Brothers, I'll sell it to you when I have finished playing it if you are interested.

6/5/2006 12:13:46 AM

New SMB
Mario Kart
Castlevania
Lost In Blue

6/5/2006 1:14:03 AM

sonic looks awesome

6/10/2006 2:49:45 PM

I think I am going to try and pick up a ds tomorrow. Wonder how hard it will be?

6/10/2006 3:42:18 PM

I got a DS lite and Mario Kart, New Super Mario Brothers, and Metroid Prime Hunters this weekend.

Damn thing is addicting and the multiplayer games that come with the new super mario brothers are a blast.

to anyone that has hunters, how do you play the single player. I think the 'easiest' way I like is using the stylus for the right handed look. It takes some getting used to.

7/10/2006 9:19:44 AM

^I use the thumb stylus on my right hand.

7/10/2006 10:08:03 AM

does the thing come with a thumb stylus??

7/10/2006 10:12:49 AM

1st gen DS did. DS Lite doesn't.

That being said, I use the stylus in my right hand as the "mouse" and keep my left hand on the d-pad to use as the "WASD" keys.

7/10/2006 10:15:27 AM

well damn, the thumb thing would probably make it easier.

oh well, its metroid so ill power through

after the three games i listed above, what are some other good ones that may have come out after this thread died?

7/10/2006 1:20:01 PM

Tetris DS is fucking addictive as hell. I had to stop carrying my DS in my backpack because I kept playing it at work. If you are looking for a good single player, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is excellent.

7/10/2006 1:30:19 PM

im enjoying big brain academy. doesnt take that long to "beat" everything, but it is enjoyable for a quick spurt or to show ur friends whats up.

7/10/2006 1:38:57 PM

You should definitely import Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan!. It is bar none the best game I've played for the system. The soundtrack is addictive and you really don't have to worry much about the Japanese text, as the stories are illustrated in self-explanatory ways. I've been playing on the normal setting, and it's pretty damned difficult. There are two higher difficulty levels, each with different features, so there's quite a bit of replay value in this game. I do not believe that Elite Beat Agents will be remotely as cool as Ouendan, so I personally wouldn't wait for it.

7/10/2006 4:58:39 PM

haha

after that entire paragraph

i still have no idea what kind of game it is you're recommending.

7/10/2006 6:04:00 PM

615 lines on Tetris DS

Level 62

Jeez my thumbs hurt

7/10/2006 11:12:04 PM

i saw spookyjon list it, anyone know how good advance wars is? in general? compared to old versions?

7/10/2006 11:33:47 PM

For anybody thats curious, Circuit City has Advance Wars DS on sale for $10, I've never played it but I'm tempted to pick it up for $10

7/10/2006 11:39:56 PM

Damn. That is a great deal on what I think it the best game available for the DS. Everyone should pick that game up for that price.

7/11/2006 12:03:19 AM

Nintendogs!

Ruff ruff!

7/11/2006 12:44:12 AM

i played advance wars 1 and the ds version. the ds version is definately a great step up in the series and will be worth 10 bux easily. ive plaed it over 20hrs and i dont know how (seems like i played it 10 max).

7/11/2006 11:30:31 AM

I checked the Circuit City in Winston today and they said they were out and wouldn't be getting any more in

7/12/2006 6:26:43 PM

^^probably the other 10 hours was spent not actually playing, but WAITING FOR YOUR TURN.

man, it takes the CPU a long time sometimes....

still a badass game.


rumored: a starcraft port for the DS. Now THAT would be sweet.

and by sweet, I mean awesome.

7/13/2006 9:14:27 AM

holy fuck

wireless handheld starcraft

would be odd to controll it all with the stylus with no keyboard but shit that would be awesome.

not to mention Diablo II and Warcraft II would be cool.

heh not nearly as bad as the older one or many pc strategy games. i was just playing hte other little action games and whatnot and time flew by.

7/13/2006 11:39:27 AM

the castlevania game is hard to find apparently

7/13/2006 1:11:06 PM

I just found it and downloaded it in 12 seconds.

7/13/2006 4:33:00 PM

where at and how

(i just got my ds)

Circuit City (as well as other retailers) sell a replacement stylus pack that includes a thumb stylus.

7/14/2006 3:28:54 PM

anybody wanna sell me their castlevania?

7/14/2006 3:54:26 PM

ive seen it plenty of places, just go to another store.

7/14/2006 7:07:04 PM

bumping this for Cooking Mama. Odd, niche game, but still fun and well worth $20.

9/14/2006 11:05:14 AM

^ not to mention Star Fox Command and Mario Hoops 3 on 3. If Cooking Mama is only $20 I dont see how I wont pick that up. I think SFC is $35 and Hoops is $30...think.

And all I have right now is Mario Kart, which exceeded all expectations I've had about it the first 5 minutes. I love me some Battle.

9/14/2006 11:15:32 AM

Lego-Starwars II: The original trilogy.... I didnt expect much, but it just doesnt stop being fun


a little "buggy" though

mostly some textures not loading right on outdoor boards

almost everything about it makes me think "...cool.."

The DS version of Lego Star Wars II SUCKS compared to any of the other console versions out there. Maybe I skewed myself, but I played the PSP version for about a week before trying out the DS version, and I found the DS version to be almost unplayable in comparison.

11/1/2006 9:31:04 AM

I want my DS lite back

Anyone else going to pick up Elite Beat Agents when it comes out next week?

11/1/2006 9:42:54 AM

http://media.ds.ign.com/media/826/826978/vids_1.html
after watching these videos I've decided to get it, but damn if I'll ever have time to play it. I still haven't started contact yet, and Children of Mana comes out today.

[Edited on November 1, 2006 at 10:20 AM. Reason : and fuck, yoshi's island ds in 2 weeks]

11/1/2006 10:20:03 AM

Phoenix Motherficking Wright

11/1/2006 10:23:00 AM

Animal Crossing: Wild World

11/1/2006 10:25:34 AM

And as far as suggestions for games, I'd recommend in order:
Castlevania
Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney
Kirby Canvas Curse
Tetris DS
Mario Kart

you probably already know if you like teris or mario kart, so adjust accordingly.
castlevania and phoenix wright were both pretty rare, but have recently been reprinted and can be found in most stores again.

If you like RPGs, go buy Contact now before it becomes impossible to find.

New Super Mario Bros was fun/nostalgic, but personally I thought it was on the short/easy side.

Lego Star Wars 2 is an excellent game, but the ds version is buggy and incomplete - don't buy it unless you dont have any other console/computer that could play it.

11/1/2006 10:29:33 AM

phoenix wright and trauma center

11/1/2006 10:29:36 AM

contact isnt a traditional rpg but itll be hard to find

for rpg people, get magical starsign

and the new mana game came out today!

11/1/2006 10:47:31 AM

I'm just gonna wait for FFIII

11/1/2006 10:52:13 AM

Is Phoenix Wright really that good? It looks like alot of text scrolling kinda, what exactly do you do?

11/1/2006 11:03:53 AM

if you dont mind text it is fun. i enjoyed it a lot, but it got old after 3-4 missions.

[Edited on November 1, 2006 at 11:53 AM. Reason : it has 0 replay though, definately not more than a rent.]
