    Default Got some GS gift cards for X-mas, going DS game shopping...

    So for Christmas my parents gave me $50 to gamestop and i thought it would be the perfect time to expand my DS collection. Anyone have any recommendations for a good price at GS? RPGs are always good. Here's a list of games i already have...

    Pokemon White
    Pokemon Diamond
    SMT Strange Journey
    SMT Devil Survivor
    Metal Slug 7
    Nintendogs
    Nanostray
    Animal Crossing
    Brain Age 1/2
    Knights in the Nightmare
    Izuna 2
    Mariokart
    KH 358/2 Days
    Fire Emblem SD
    New Super Mario Bros
    Super Mario 64
    Starfox Command

    Thanks!

    Infinite Space
    Etrian Odyssey I-III
    Legacy of Ys: Book I and II
    Luminous Arc 1 & 2 (finding the cardboard box and CD for 2 might be a challenge)
    Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
    Dokapon Journey
    Solatrobo: Red the Hunter
    Dragon Quest IX
    Spectral Force Genesis
    Sands of Destruction


    Some other decent non RPG-esque games you might consider
    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
    Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
    Cooking Mama
    Ninjatown
    Puyo Pop Fever

    (there's more but I'm talking of walking back and forth to my DS rack to look )

    It's not an RPG, but I very highly recommend Solatorobo.

    Not an RPG but I can't recommend Advance Wars: Dual Strike enough. If you like Fire Emblem you should love it.

    As for RPG's...
    Chrono Trigger
    The World Ends With You
    Golden Sun Dark Dawn
    Lufia
    Disgaea
    Dark Spire

    Thanks for all the recommendations! Everything looks right up my alley. Has anyone played Avalon Code or Steal Princess? I was doing a little research and thought that they looked promising...

    Retro Game Challenge is my favorite on the system. Includes a really good mini RPG as well as other games. The Haggleman series is the best.

    Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey. Still have yet to play this because I haven't got a new DS charger, but it's like the older SMT titles. Haven't heard a bad thing about it.

    Dragon Quest 4, 5, and 6
    Dragon Ball Z Attack of the Saiyans
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    I'll be the first, and maybe only, one to recommend Glory of Heracles. It's a cheap, fun DS RPG.

    Alright here's what i came home with today...

    Infinite Space
    Luminous Arc
    Avalon Code (to my INCREDIBLE dismay no case/manual, oh well it was free I'll get one eventually)

    Thanks for all the recommendations, Gamestop was horrifying today, i plan on going back for more DS games once the B2G1 free sale is gone and the shelves have restocked a little. Most of the good stuff was gone
