I finally got a DS!

[Antimind]

Feel the Magic
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.

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?

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.

I got my Retro Atari for $6.99 from EB.com

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
