DS game Recommendations

[AZ Legend]

So im looking for a good ds game. Some of them im thinking about are
Glory of hercules
Mario & Luigi Bowser story
Kingdom hearts
Might and Magic:clash of heroes
or maybe a good platformer. Any thoughts on those games or another would be great.

[backguard]

I just finished MM: Clash of Heroes. A pretty good game but you can do everything in the game in 15-20 hours. It is kind of like Puzzle Quest, but Puzzle Quest is better. Haven't played the others, but I've heard good things about M&L Bowser's Inside Story.

RO(Ragnarok online): Comes out early feb
SMT:SJ(late march).

Retrogame Challenge(awesome old school stile game, 8 different games in one package)

The Dark Spire: It's not a Wizardry game granted, but It's deffinitely on pay with all the other good Maze crawler/RPGs that were made back in the old school days(lol good luck trying to find that now, since It's a very good game published by ATLUS, which has been out of print for awhile).

PS. The Retrogame Challenge also has decent Platformers in it as well(it has platformes, shooters, amazing shooters, an RPG, and racers).

Dragon Warrior Monsters: Joker was atrocious at best, so I would advise against burning your money on that game(atleast they named the subtitle correctly, "Joker", because it most surely is a Joke, yea a bad one).

If you're a masochist like me, maybe you'd like (or already do, who knows), the Harvest Moon series. Rune Factory is a pretty interesting DS title, as is HM: Island of Happiness.

Someone already mentioned Chrono Trigger, which is great on the DS! The even added some new areas to the original game. Same goes for Mario 64 DS - though the control can be challenging with this one. Also, Star Fox: Command is great and different if you're a fan of the series.

Currently, I'm playing Contact and FFIII and I'm enjoying them both. :)

Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. It's really a good platformer mixed with a puzzle game, I wasn't expecting it to be that good but it is.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is a great game. If you trust reviews, check some of them out.

I highly recommend the game.

Lol reviewers haven't been trustable for about 10 years now, so I assume you are being sacastic there(It is easily without a doubt one of the worse games ever made in the history of the gaming industry).

I'll skip an argument in case you actually like the game (or have no opinion) and are just trying create something.

You could be a happier person without all of the hate inside of you.

You can't go wrong with:

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
Elite Beat Agents
Mario Kart DS
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

And the upcoming Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations looks great! I've played the demo and I can't wait for it to come out in the states.

Opinion. I found Joker too be enjoyable, but that's because I'm a Pokemon fan and that I understand it has the same set up as a traditional DQ game in terms of grinding until your eyes bleed. It's very much rewards based. You work for your levels, you got to continue the story.

Evidently I so shouldn't post in the new school frorum, and expect people to decern from a good game, and a POS all around game.

PS. I'm busy atm, but I'm gonna post a DQM: Joker thread, so I can itemize the million, and one things that were done terribly wrong in that game(and explain exactly why each thing listed is bad, as well as how it should've been done).

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan - by far my favourite DS game, much better than Elite Beat Agents and I also prefer it to its sequal.

Electroplankton - nice chillout music maker playtoy

Lost In Blue - survive whilst stranded on a desert island

Meteos - great touch screen puzzler

Ketsui Death Label - boss rush bullet hell shmup

Space Invaders Extreme - completely modern update.

Metroid Prime Pinball - I loved it and I've never played a Metroid game!

Retro Game Challenge - if you're on these forums you'll definitely love this.

and well, there's too many great games to list but I think Tetris DS and Zoo Keeper are essential puzzlers.

[BHvrd]

Well if you're looking for one that lasts, can't go wrong with Phantasy Star Zero. I've played 30 hours and still only (believe it or not) have 21% of the reward/achievement tasks completed and still on normal difficulty.

The other games you're thinking about getting sound good too though.

[drummy]

I really like the first Luminous Arc (turn-based strategy RPG). Haven't played enough of the second one to judge it. I also really like Daigasso! Band Brothers (music game). The second Daigasso! is fun as well.

[Trebuken]

Zoo Keeper
Age of Empires

You also can look forward to Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 if you buy and enjoy the first one:

Thanks for all the posts. I have a ton of the games listed already, but thanks for all the feedback. I ended up getting - Mario & Luigi Bowser inside story for now.

I would also second the Henry Hatsworth game, wow, game is amazing. you can find it now some placed for $10.

As far as the DQ joker goes, ive never played it but id be willing to give it a shot. I take reviews not to seriously because we all have our own likes and dislikes.

Alot of the games you guys mentioned that are still pre-orders are definatly on my buy list. I just got done a few DS games and wanted to get something RPGish that would keep my occupied for the next couple of weeks. Ill let you know my take on Inside story. I might still pick up Glory of Herculas and Kingdom Hearts game as well since best buy is running a promotion.

I wouldn't recommends Kingdom Hearts it's bad game. Nothing like the good old on GBA. I've played like 10 hours and it's boring like hell, not mentionet the control sucks. If you want RPGish game try Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates/Echoes of Time (about 20 hours of gameplay) for more action ala Diablo or for more strategy Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (about 30+ hours of gameplay).
Or something little bit different strategy/RPG try Lock Quest.

And I'll post why it's the best Dragon Warrior game and why it's my favorite game of all time. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is amazing. No RPG even comes close.

Btw. DQMJ isn't my favorite game. I think it's the worst DQM game, though it still is a good game.
