Nintendo DS Portable Favorites

[digitalpress]

OK, time to get this started for the classic discussions forum. Let's start building a list that others can use as a guide - even if your suggestions don't make the list, at least your suggestions get seen! These threads should be especially handy to people who got their systems recently and want to start out with the "A List" of games to pick from.

So let's start the "A List". What would you add to it?

NOTE: * = exclusive to this system (for now)

Advance Wars DS (series) *
Castlevania (series) *
Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass *
Mario Kart DS *
New Super Mario *
Phoenix Wright: Ace Detective (series) *
Professor Layton and the Curious Village *
Super Princess Peach *
Wario Touched *

For me it is definitely the following:

Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Tetris DS
Meteos
Elektroplankton
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

[nate1749]

Definitely one of those brain age games and I'd tack on another vote for Mario Kart.

Elite Beat Agents
Meteos
Rocket Slime
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - I liked it better than Dawn of Sorrows
Mario Kart DS

Honestly, I own it and was really excited when I first got it, but I don't actually consider New Super Mario Bros. to be A-list. It's kind of like the ... the ... the "New Coke" of Super Mario. Good, but missing a big part of what made the original awesome.

Well let's see, I really, really, really, REALLY love the Ace Attorney series and I've been following it ever since it has been released, so yeah I'm trying not to fanboy out on it, but it's a really great series that you should try out if you never had the chance.

Contra 4 is pretty awesome too, how could it not be awesome? following the Contra series this delivers all the hardcore gamers would need if you have been following Contra since the start. Only one major problem with it, and it's not bad but for someone like me, it's TOO DAMN HARD !

Guitar Hero on Tour is a great game to play when your wanting to listen to something on the road or somewhere where you aren't occupied. Since I'm a big fan of the Guitar Hero series, I bought it first day and my first impression was "Wow! This game is freakin' awesome!" and it still is to this day. The only major flaw for me is they could of made a wayyyyyyyy better soundtrack then the one they have in the game, plus songs that were already included in GH3 are in there as well.

Animal Crossing: Wild World is loads of fun to play too. When I first got it I was bored of it the second day, and when I came back to play it in a week or so everyone in my town hated me and moved away, so it's kind of telling you that you better play this game more often or else bad things will happen!
Overall, I love it. Who doesn't love paying off thier house debt to an animal? I started getting back into it the last month and I play it everyday and I would love to Wi-Fi with anyone that owns the game.

Other good games on DS that you should totally try out are Ware Ware: Touched! Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, Mario & Luigi Partners in Time, Diddy Kong Racing DS, Nintendogs, Yoshi's Touch & Go!, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Maio Hoops 3 on 3 (which should of had Wi-Fi !), Star Fox Command, Tramua Center series, and New Super Mario Bros. I'm sure there is a bunch of more games that I haven't listed that are good, but these are the ones I own. Hopefully when Sonic Chronicles releases tomorrow it'll be one of my favorite games on the DS as well, we can only wait and see !
