Default Yesterday I...

bought a DS lite and such, I borrowed the new super mario bros from swan.
Next week when i get payed im planning on buying a couple of games. I already know im getting Mario Kart, and i was just wondering on what elese to buy.

So if you guys could suggest a couple of games that you enjoyed i would be greatful. Im not really a stickler for any genre in perticular, so if you liked it just throw it out there.


Oh and my family is getting a second computer, and a wireless connection and so forth so i will be getting wifi, hopefully soon.

Congrats on purchase. I'll just go through what games I own and how I feel about them:

Super Mario 64 DS - Came free with my DS. Just as fun as the original with more characters and more to do. The controls just aren't as good as on the N64.

Meteos - I love this game. I bought a screen protector before hand with this being my first touchscreen game. Glad I did. One hell of a great puzzler and my second favorite game for the system. There is also a ton to unlock which will keep you busy. I heard multiplayer is great but I never tried. Kept me occupied for an entire plane ride from LA to NYC. About 40 hours clocked in.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - My favorite DS game. There is so much to do, especially if you like to complete games at 100% and find all items like I do. About 40 hours clocked in.

Mario Kart DS - Nothing to say that anyone will tell you different and you're getting anyway so enjoy. Just watch out for snakers...and cramped hands.

New Super Mario Bros. - I beat it within a couple hours of getting it. The replay value comes from finding all the hidden levels and getting the three coins found in each level. It's a pretty solid game. Nothing amazing but I reccomend if like Mario games.

Animal Crossing Wild World - I actually ended up selling this game. Animal Crossing for GameCube was my favorite game of all time. I played the hell out of it. The DS one was almost exactly the same except it felt like they removed the best parts. How I miss holidays. And never could adjust to the rotating world with the closer view. *sigh* The online aspect didn't appeal to me. The few times I went into other towns the communication was awkard and we ended up chasing eachother around with the axes.

Kirby Canvas Curse - I bought this on a whim since I heard people were beginning to have trouble finding it and I had heard good things about it. If I wasn't such a huge Kirby fan already I'm not sure how I would feel about it. And if it wasn't for the counter saying how many hours I've played I would have felt that I wasn't getting enough play time for my money. Alas I have 20 hours clocked in.

Advance Wars is pretty good. Too bad it got repetetive after awhile... I wonder how the sequels sell? Worth getting a used copy!

Oh, and don't forget that it can play GameBoy Advance games. Unless the DS Lite can't... that'd be weird.

Also, I second the opinion on Dawn of Sorrow. Fun game! Nintendogs on the other hand... even my fiance got bored with it. She loves dogs!

I have all the good DS games, save Phoenix Wright and Sonic Rush. You can try them out next time we're both at Dylan's.

AH yes I picked up Phoenix Wright a couple weeks back, along with Trauma Center. I am having quite a bit of fun with both of them.



How is Wario Ware:Touched? I have been looking into getting that one as well.

It's good, but the replay value is just not enough. If you can find it for cheap, go for it. I think I like Cooking Mama leagues more.
