Topic: What do you recommend for the DS?

[CastleToastM]

I need something to tie me down 'till OoE comes out.

What dose ya suggest?

[TRON]

Tetris DS of course. What better way to pass the time is there than playing Tetris? Other than that, New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart DS come to mind as well.

Played them all. I need something I haven't played yet.

New Super Mario Bros. pales in comparison to the likes of Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure. It's deliciously ironic, actually.

Other than those two, assuming you've played the other two DS Castlevanias, I would recommend:

Contra 4
WarioWare: Touched

...

Huh. I thought my list would end up being longer.

[The Last Belmont]

New Super Mario Bros.

I agree playin' that right now. 

[Slayer]

Definetally pick up Elite Beat Agents.  It's a DS game that not many people bought, but is amazingly addictive and challenging.
Also, the Fist of the Northstar reference reference always gets me loling in this game.

[Ed Oscuro]

Contra 4 is the only game I could see myself paying full price for.  There's lots of DS games I'd pay $5 for, of course.

I'd actually like to try out Ninja Reflex (or whatever it's called, lol).

Also: Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword.

Metroid Prime Pinball is an unsuspecting hours upon hours of fun. Definitely one of the most unappreciated games for the DS.

Meteos came out around launch time and is shitloads of fun as well.

Trauma Center Under the Knife can get addicting and draw you in pretty fast.

Contra 4 is awesome for the oldskooler in you.

And Guitar Hero: On Tour may require headphones to enjoy the sound more, but it's a pretty fun game too. Controls are pretty nice.

[Ed Oscuro]

Contra 4 is awesome for the oldskooler in you.

The old "we give it a pass because it plays like an old game" bias? 

[corneliab]

What? No. That kind of thing applies for NSMB, but mostly to those who refuse to see how derivative it is.

Contra 4 is a genuinely good game. Excellent graphics, animation, music, and gameplay. It just FEELS like a Contra 4, and that's fantastic.

It'll kick your ass initially, though it's actually quite balanced. It's the best kind of difficulty for a game.

You also get the NES Contra and Super C as unlockables.

Is this the first time you get a DS (to the Original Poster):

'cuz I love MegaManZX and ZX Advent, as well as the Phoenix Wright games.

Nanostray and Nanostray 2 (part 2 more so) are decent shmups for the system.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is pretty good so far (I've had it and have been playing it nonstop since a few weeks ago when it came out).

Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Advance Wars: Day of Ruin are good too.

Hotel Dusk: Room 213 and Trace Memory are good point-n-click adventure/story games.

There's so many other games for that system that are good, just can't think of 'em off the top of my head right now.

As I've said before, the DS is the new SNES.

WarioWare: Touched

Awesome game

[Gimph]

I think you should try Final Fantasy III. Excellent game, and it's long enough to keep you ammused until Order of Ecclesia comes out.

[The Last Belmont]

You also get the NES Contra and Super C as unlockables.

Yep which completely kicks ass, basically they
 took all the greatest contra games ever made and combined them into one cart. A def. must buy for anyone who like shooting the crap out of aliens with guns.

[Bloodreign]

Space Invaders Extreme is a good one to have around.
