Ds games for Ds virgins

[SuperDanX]

Well, myself like many others will be getting our first taste of Ds action this weekend,having been tempted by the lovely looking ds lite. So with that in mind ie were ds virgins who'll want to expirence 'the ds difference' what games would you ds owners recommend?*yawn*Having knocked the ds in the past i had been avoiding any news related to ds games so whats hot and whats not(in pal-and) cheers

[Ajay1986]

The games id recommend are

New Super Mario Bros
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Jump Superstars (Guess it depends if you an anime fan or not.)
Pheonix Wright
Of course there is tons of other fantastic games but i just thought id mention my personal favorites.

[Kongster]

Nintendogs ftw!

[Jebus]

Trauma centre REALLY shows off the quality of the DS and how much fun it can be.

Oh and you'll lose months to Animal Crossing : Wild World...

[Kubrick]

Although it doesn't really use the DS's features, I can't see past New Super Mario Bros.

[MartyG]

Wario Ware Touched!
Feel the Magic
Rub Rabbits

All use the unique DS features. I've been playing Brain Training everyday, though it's limited in what it does it's a lot of fun, and something that takes ten mins to train everyday. It also does seem to work at activating your brain if my graphs are anything to go by.

You know where to go!

Metoes if you like your puzzlers - easy to play, difficult to put down.
Wario Ware Twisted - because it's genius.
Kirby Canvas Curse for some platforming action, very clever little game.

[Moblin]

New Mario bros and and Animal Crossing Wild World
oops forgot phoenix Wright and Ouendan.
If you wanna borrow anything Dan give me a shout

[Fuddle]

ouendan
animal crossing
nintendogs

thats the pick i reckon
top stuff that probably wouldnt work as nicely on other consoles

[MartyG]

Animal Crossing worked pretty well on Gamecube

Ouendan is still only available as JP release atm, coming to our shores under the sucky name of Elite Beat Agents :/

I read in Edge that Elite Beat will have all new music (and possibly story too), so unless it gets a JPN release it'll be worth picking up both as EBA's effectively Ouendan 2...

[Fuddle]

Animal Crossing worked pretty well on Gamecube

true, but i'd say wi-fi elevates it so much. i'd hate to have played it without any other human interaction.

i decided to ignore the 'pal' suggestion for ouendan because its the bestest thing ever, it should be mandatory

[Dezm0nd]

Wario Ware touch should be everyones first DS experience. Pure class

[NekoFever]

Any of the following are worth getting:

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!
Mario Kart DS
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Meteos
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Brain Age/Brain Training
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Sonic Rush
Kirby Canvas Curse
Animal Crossing: Wild World
New Super Mario Bros
Wario Ware: Touched!

All excellent games that use the DS's features to varying degrees, but you can't really go wrong with any of them.

Kirby's Canvas Curse (AKA Power Paintbrush in PAL)
Advance Wars DS - I don't really like strategy games but I <3 love <3 this, it's incredibly easy to get into, plays really fast and is compulsively addictive!
WarioWare Touched! - Genius!
Phoenix Wright - Hardly uses the DS features but a great game nonetheless
Mario Kart DS - Great multiplayer
