DS Games ( and where are they ) - VGF

**Platinum** · 03-21-2006, 09:16 PM

I was happy with my DS when I got it. But they need to start making more games for it. I only have like 3 games... but i haven't seen anything that has caught my eye. So, could someone HELP ME (or Nintendo) in finding some good games?

What three do you have already?

Obviously (if you know me and my tastes) I highly recommend Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS. Wario Ware Touched, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time...

There's also a lot of interest in Animal Crossing: Wild World, The Mega Man Battle Network game, Super Princess Peach, Trauma Center: Under the Knife, Metroid Prime: Hunters... etc.

Some of these haven't been released in aussieland yet so I'm going by reviews I read elsewhere.

Mario Kart DS is a good one.

Other than that, I can't really help you since I'm sort of in the same situation.

**NintendoNut** · 03-22-2006, 04:48 PM

I have 3 as well you know. I know plenty are to come though.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Definitely.

And since Capcom supposively fired the Phoenix Wright presses back up, look into that one too.

Trauma Center's the game that made me forgive the DS.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

I have Mario Kart DS, and Super Mario 64, and Tiger Wood PGA tour (don't get unless you are in love with Tiger Woods games) I've played Wario Ware but i didn't like it as much as the gamecube version but i might get it. Castlevania- I heard that it was good, but I don't know much about it. Animal Crossing: Wild World- I might get it, but how is the WI-FI action on it what do you do???

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 03-22-2006, 10:57 PM

Here's my list of DS games:

Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS
Wario Ware: Touched
Nintendogs Dachshund
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

I don't know your tastes, but each of these games has satisfied me in terms of gameplay and length. Animal Crossing and Nintendogs may get repetitive, but you'll still want to pick them up once in a while [and in the beginning, you'll probably be playing them for hours on end].
Other than that, I'm not sure. I heard the Princess Peach game is decent; i'd give that a try but everyone has different tastes in terms of quality.

Codiekitty · 03-22-2006, 11:06 PM

I heard Super Princess Peach was trash if you're the type of gamer who likes to die once in a while.

As for Castlevania, have you played Aria of Sorrow? It's mostly like that. If you haven't, have you played Symphony of the Night? If so, imagine that with enemy attack mimicry, ala Mega Man, except you can also gain abilities from common enemies (you can gain a power that lets you throw a cat that charges enemies). If not, you really need to play more games.

ok I think I might pick it up then. (Castlevania) How about sports games??? No one has metioned anything about sports. Well maybe we should just leave the sports games to the PSP.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 03-22-2006, 11:47 PM

Nintendo has never really been big for quality sports games.

Or consoles.

Nobody's mentioned Kirby: Canvas Curse yet?

Get that. It rocks beyond reckoning.

Castlevania DS is one of my most favorite games ever. It's very Super Metroid - esque, in manner of exploration and power ups. You can kill monsters and receive special powers or the ability to summon them. How badassed is that? It's not limited to a single weapon, you can use guns, knives, swords, axes.. like, anything. Prettiest art seen in 2D gaming in forever, as well.

If you like oldschool games like Centipede or Asteroids, Retro Atari Classics is pretty sweet, too. The games were re-designed visually by famous graphitti artists. They're a real blast for when you just wanna kill some time wherever.
