    Recommend me some DS Adventures

    Well the 2 week holiday is looming in September & that means dusting off the ol' DS for the flights & evenings sat on the balcony with the beers so I'm in the need for a few adventures to keep me occupied.

    I don't need reams of lists guys as I'll only be picking up 2 or 3 between now & the end of August.
    But what are the best of the recent batches??

    I've always been quite partial to the Dragon Quest series but haven't played any of the DS titles are they worth getting?

    What about Kingdom Hearts are they any good??

    I've played through the current crop of Layton & Zelda games so those can be crossed off the potential lists lol

    Thanks in advance guys

    It wasn't popular with everybody but I really enjoyed Another Code.

      Do you like the Pokemon series? If you do then Black & White would be a decent buy as I have seen them for around ?20 online.
      From what I saw of DQ9 there is a fair bit of level grinding but it's pretty good still. Not sure of the newer one though, isn't that a remake of an old one?

        Kingdom Hearts has a rather expansive canon. Unless you've at least played KH1 and 2, you won't fully appriciate the plot in KH:358/2 days and if you haven't played KH:BBS and KH1, RE:coded will be meaningless.

        They're decent games though.

        I'd recommend Solatorobo which just came out (check out the first play).

        The World Ends With You is possibly the best game on the system in my book

        Dragon Quest IX is good, slightly less hardcore than the remakes (which you can move onto if you enjoy DQIX).

            The World Ends With You will split your mind in half!
            I need to finish that still so thanks for the reminder lol.

              Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. Yeah, plot is lousy, but the gameplay is awesome.

                Have you played Zelda Minish Cap? If your DS can take GBA and have no played this I recommend it.

                  Dragon Quest IV is rather good so far, although effectively restarting every time a new character is introduced in a new chapter is slightly annoying. Some people suggest that DQV is one of the best of the series, so maybe that'd be a better starting point.

                    Yes!

                    Another who feels the same.

                    TWEWY is indeed awesome and makes fantastic use of the system's capabilities. There are not many DS games which used the dual screens and touch screen as well as TWEWY did. A triumphant showcase for the DS. Ace soundtrack too.

                      Thanks for the info about KH
                      I never played the PS versions so will give them a skip

                      I must have been living under a rock as I've never even seen TWEWY so will hunt that one out if it's as good as your all saying

                      Yeah been through that back in my GBA days...that said my DS can play GBA stuff so there's always the adventures on there I missed out on previously...hmm this list may get a bit extensive I think

                      Will definitely invetsigate the DQ games a bit more I think...there seems to be a lot to work through.

                      Pokemon is a good call though...never ever tried them but my brother is an obbsessive & has them all including B & W so could pinch them at the very worst.

                      Oooh what about the Yu-Gi-Oh games are they any good?
                      Just seen there's some new 5D's based ones out so could be worth a shot?

                      Thanks for all the help so far guys it's appreciated.

                          TWEWY does pop up every now and then for super cheap so don't worry I'm sure you will find another copy

                          Forgot to mention Mario & Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story. Excellent game. Or try and find M&L:Partners in Time (that is a bit rarer to find cheap).
