Title: I finally got a DS! Post by: den68 on December 18, 2005, 02:27:23 PM Friday night I finally bouight a Nintendo DS. I picked up the Mario Kart Bundle so at the moment that is the only game I have for it.
I of course will be picking up Animal Crossing, that one is a no brainer. I'm also curious about Electro Plankton as I've heard it's only available to buy online with the exception of that Nintendo store. Could be a hard to get one. So what are the best titles for the DS thus far? Anything going dirt cheap yet? I've got $120 bucks left from my prize money left and I'm anxious to nab a few more DS games. Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: shaggy on December 18, 2005, 03:36:11 PM Wario Wares is a cool game and Mario 64 DS is another sweet game, too.  That's all I played but I also heard Nintendogs is good, Trace Memory, and Phoenix Wright are all good games.  Enjoy!

Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on December 18, 2005, 06:09:17 PM Definitely warioware. I almost bought myself a DS just because I played WW in the store for five minutes. And most likely castlevainia rocks

Lost in Blue Zoo Keeper Meteos Are all also supposed to be very good titles. I have played Zoo Keeper and that is pretty fun. The rest i have only seen and read reviews and such. Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: tholly on December 18, 2005, 06:39:45 PM Trauma Center: Under The Knife
and Feel The Magic: XX / XY are the 2 best DS games I have played.... Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Izret101 on December 18, 2005, 06:58:47 PM Pretty sure Feel The Magic is one of the 10$ games at TRU.
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: CatchFiveBats on December 18, 2005, 07:49:11 PM I can vouch for Izret, Zoo Keeper is a lot of fun. I got it for $20 at Blockbuster a while ago and I thought it was worth it.

Post by: Tynstar on December 18, 2005, 08:31:03 PM Hey Nep do you like Castlevania?
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: den68 on December 19, 2005, 04:40:00 AM cool. I've got a few to look out for now.
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: captain_nintendo on December 19, 2005, 05:33:05 AM Quote Castlevania Oh yea! Castlevania, Mario Cart , Animal Crossing are my current favorites. Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Lord Nepenthean on December 19, 2005, 07:25:20 AM Quote Hey Nep do you like Castlevania? Yeah, it's allright. By "allright," I of course mean that playing it transports me to neverending elysian fields of infinite beauty and wonder. Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on December 19, 2005, 09:54:46 AM Symphony of the Night for PSX definately did that for me. Then some kid broke it and I had to eat his soul. I still haven't gotten a replacement Symphony, i can never make myself go digging in the PS1 bins.
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Lord Nepenthean on December 19, 2005, 12:36:15 PM Quote Then some kid broke it and I had to eat his soul. What kind of powers did his soul give you? Aria of Sorrow tells me that each soul I collect gives me special moves or powers. I hope that kid's soul at least gave you a skill that was worth losing Symphony of the Night over. If you got something like double jump, I say it's worth it since you can just take some gold to the local shop and buy the game over again. Title: Re: I finally got a DS!

Wario Ware Trauma Center Castlevania Those are the -must- haves next to Animal Crossing and Mario Kart. There are also good (I have all the current releases, trust me) Mario & Luigi 2 (must have for RPG/Mario fans) Zoo Keeper Lost in Blue & Zoo Tycoon (for sim lovers) tie, both are good. Pac n Roll (for the retro/marble madness gamer) Trace Memory BTW all of those games are in the order I'd put priority on em if I didn't have em. They're the best of the current lineup. A note on Lost in Blue... If you like the fishing aspect of animal crossing you'll prolly like that game. It's a LOT more involved cause you have to build spears, rods, and such but you also have to go hunting and whatnot. Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: den68 on December 20, 2005, 07:59:48 AM I made it to the final in my fantasy football league at work. I'm guaranteed at least $140 in winnings. first place is $250. looks like a good chunk of that will be going for DS games.
are any of these games on the cheap yet? is that Retro Atari game any good? Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Lord Nepenthean on December 20, 2005, 03:26:15 PM About the cheapest I have seen any of the games Laurel mentioned was Feel the Magic @ $20. The rest are $30-40 each. I have seen the Retro Atari game at Meijer for $9.99, but have no idea if it is any good.

Post by: Pop Culture Portal on December 21, 2005, 04:52:03 PM I'd go with Castlevania, Advance Wars...and Nintendogs for shits and grins. Mario & Luigi is supposedly pretty good too. I may be picking up a DS this weekend. :)
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Antimind on December 25, 2005, 07:54:07 AM Retro Atari is great for folks like us that dig on the old school. Come to think of it, Pac-Pix is worth checking out if you already have the "must haves" that were previously mentioned. It's a nice twist on a good ol game. You draw Pac-Man and then have to draw walls (moving the stylus in certain directions) to get Pac-Man to move that way. It's easy on the first few levels but gets difficult as you progress.
Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Izret101 on December 25, 2005, 03:35:01 PM I just got a DS today so i am going to check out some/all of these titles assuming money permits
Thanks for inadvertantly helping me out too everyone. :) Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: Izret101 on December 26, 2005, 05:12:47 AM Hey why does everyone say these games are so great but none of them have votes cast, or have few votes cast?
RATE YOUR GAMES! Title: Re: I finally got a DS! Post by: den68 on December 26, 2005, 05:23:23 AM I played a bit of Feel the Magic yesterday. that is a pretty unique game. I did 2 levels where you had to blow on the touch screen and another where you had to yell in the mike. definately different.
My mother in law got me a DS game for xmas so between my wife and I we've got 6 game already. Mario Kart Polarium Feel the Magic Nintendogs Animal Crossing Tak: The Great Juju Challenge |
