so I upgraded to a DS Lite, and here are the recommendations I have:

Phoenix Wright: Everyone's gotta know this gem. Awesome stuff.

Trauma Center: Another amazing little game, hard as nails, but worth the effort put in.

Metroid Prime Hunters: Booyah, gotta love pwning them n00bs yo.

Mario and Luigi; Partners in Time: Fun RPG, very interactive. If you liked the old Snes Mario RPG, give it a shot.

Brain Age: Another fun time waster. Basic IQ evaluation.

Mario Kart DS: This one is a given. It's freaking Mario Kart.

Elektroplankton: Another pick up and play with sandbox style game. Make music with various small creatures.

New Super Mario Brothers: C'mon, I don't have to offer a description do I?

What's your opinion on Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, may I ask?

Man, I totally forgot about that one. Another beautiful piece of software.

I think the fact that I keep forgetting games (ie. Advance Wars, Dawn of Sorrow, etc) is a testimont to how freakin' awesome the system really is.

Already got pretty much all of these games on my "I-so-want-to-have-these-list".

So much awesome games, so little money :tai:

Anyway, I recently got Dr. Kawashimas Brain Training.
It may not be for everyones liking, but I enjoy it. It's probably the first time in my life that I enjoy maths.
Although that Kawashima head thing is pretty annonying.
And I discovered my love for Sodoku through that game.

And I also really want to get a DS Lite. Although I'm pretty fine with my old one, I have the disadvantage of still living in one house with all of my siblings. And only one DS in the house. It looks pretty wrecked and has some nasty scratches on the touchscreen.

BTW, does the Lite have any more advantages to the old one, beside being smaller and having a slightly bigger screen (and looking overall better)?

Edit:
Just noticed that Kawashima is already on the list. Didn't know it was also called Brain Age.

Hey, no Kirby Canvas Curse? Animal Crossing? Super Mario 64 DS? Advanced Wars? Not even XX/XY Feel the Magic!

:P

I really only want Hunters, Superstar Saga, Phantom Hourglass and I'm hoping Tales of the Tempest gets released outside of Japan.

I'm awiting Children of Mana, wich I don't think will be as good as the Seiken Densetsu (they are translated always as <something> of mana) of PSX but will have multiplayer.

Project Rub is also a fun game, uses only the touch screen for all the minigames.

And Lost in Blue is also interesting. Surviving in an island, but it may be a bit short. Is the sequel of Stranded Kids, for Gameboy.

yea.... reminiscent of the Gaiea series, or Terranigma.

Project Rub and Lost in Blue were very good, just not what I'd consider must haves.

Canvas Curse was a decent effort, but it got boring rather quickly.

Animal Crossing is a god online though. I love wrecking the towns of others.

SM64 DS is great, but, it's still SM64, despite all the additions. Amazing port though.

XX/XY is good, but Project Rub was better imho.

Hey, if you have Animal Crossing, you should come to my town, as long as you don't wreck it (it's already bad enough.)

If you don't want it wrecked, you don't want me there. I'll destroy you at hunters though.
