DS Hot list?

well, the games I see at stores always look crappy. stuff like nintendogs and sudoku games and stuff. and kiddy games. I loved Castlevania and New SMB. Tetris would probably be fun too. But I keep going to the store planning to spend $30 on a game and not being able to find a single game that interests me.

I also don't like Mario Kart games.

you list six games. I have Castlevania and New SMB, which are great. I have never even heard of Osu. Partners in Time I would buy but I have never seen in a store. Kirby games are not my favorite, although I might give it a try. Phoenix Wright seems interesting but not enough to buy it.

What's the problem with 'Kiddy' games?

Two awesome games with 'Kiddy' design: Advance Wars Dual Strike, and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. You may not know about Rocket Slime, but you can't pass over Advance Wars (or most Nintendo games for that matter) just because they look kiddy.

Edit: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is an import game from Japan. There's a modified/westernized version of it coming out this year called 'Elite Beat Agents'. Another thing for the DS is the games you can import from Japan. If you like Smash Brothers, there's Jump! Superstars like I mentioned before, and if you like music games there's 'Daigasso Band Brothers'--which is probably one of my favourite games of all time.

advance wars has horrible gameplay and controls, though.

Err... wot?

Electroplankton's a fun little time-killer, Resident Evil DS is a surprisingly well done remake, and unless you have no soul whatsoever, Rocket Slime is quite enjoyable.

also Advance Wars is love. <3

Yes, I can't believe what I'm hearing either. DS is awesome.

Animal Crossing is good too.

to be fair, i am pretty picky about the games I like these days. but i'm pretty excited about the upcoming FF, zelda, and mana games coming.

Here's the info for Gunpey that I mentioned earlier, coming for PSP and DS, both with different features aside from the same basic gameplay.

Conversely, you can buy a Wonderswan and get the original game.

hmm, tell me more about thhandheld Super smash bro

The game is called Jump! Superstars. I made a pretty big post gushing about it a couple of months ago, but nobody cared.

Fore more info/images/etc:
Official Site (Japanese)
Wikipedia entry (English)

Gamefaqs has...FAQs... and IGN even did a guide for the game.

Buy the game (Now) OR wait for the sequel that comes out in Japan at the end of next month, which will have more characters *and* WiFi.

Ah, I got my DS about a month ago, and i feel pretty embaressed for missin the game.....I really want it now!!!!

You didn't 'miss' it, it's never coming out in english. If you don't have a rel life store than will import it for you, I provided a link in that post to where you can buy (ot preorder) either game.

*GASP* How can you say that? Adavance Wars is awesome! All it takes is a little strategy and some sense of humour. I've played every installment of Advance Wars, and the DS game is far and away much better then all the others.

Phoenix Wright is one of the best games to come out on any console, let alone the GBA/DS.

I quite enjoyed Lost in Blue, too. Even if the girl was dumb sometimes.
