Well.....The DS is pretty self-sufficient. I mean, you might want to buy a custom stylus, but I think the default one works fine. As far as games go, a lot of stuff is still in the making. I'd personally get the Minish Cap if I had not already purchased that, and then play that on the DS. But, seeing as how that doesn't do your new handheld any justice, I'd suggest picking up Super Mario 64 DS if you want a lengthy adventure game, despite the fact that I'm sure you've played it before. Warioware is a lot of fun, but it's also very easy to beat and it's very similar to all the other games in the series. Yoshi Touch And Go looks fun, but I haven't personally played it. It got a decent review.

I'm so pissed Nintendo didn't just bite the bullet and wait a few months for some third party developement on the damn thing. It's a great little portable, with a really small library. And don't give me that "it has GBA games" crap because playing DS games is a hell of a lot cooler then playing GBA games. Especially when you get the thing.
