Ok, so my girlfriend has the DS now and so far all we've been playing on it is New Super Mario Bros. Its fucking awesome, but we're going to need some new games soon. I'm thinking Super Mario World (GBA), Super Mario 64 DS, and maybe if I get a DS too, Mario Kart DS so we can play together.

It'd be cool if we could get some non-Mario games though. She wanted Cake Mania until we watched vids on GameTrailers and saw the 4/10 reviews out there. She was also looking at Kirby Squeak Squad, but vids make it look kinda dated compared to NSMB. But it DID get some 7&8/10 reviews.

Other possibilities were Trauma Center and Pheonix Wright, though I feel GAF has blown PW out of proportion and I suspect a low replay value.

I also used to own the original DS and know how great the Castlevania games are, but I don't think she'd get into those. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Lastly, do they make a Smash Bros. game for DS? If not, what the hell is keeping them on that one? Any good fighters that we could get into?

Thanks in advance.

Hey thanks for the great tips so far, guys. Four responses and only 1 with an actual game in the reply. You guys are why GAF has a reputation for being full of elitist pricks and nerds. Please email me next time you start a thread so I can come in and shit all over it.

I've replayed PWAA 16 times.

But yeah, not great replay value for anyone normal.

PWAA is pretty much just reading a book.

Anyway, Kirby: Canvas Curse is a very unique game, and I think Worms 2 seems pretty simple to play.

Bomberman Land Touch! is a good mini-game/battle game, too.

I also think your gf will like Kirby Canvas Curse. It's relatively easy and the controls are unique and fun. Cute graphics too

Does she like puzzle games? If so - METEOS! Then if you buy a DS for yourself, you can play against each other using one game cart. It's brilliant fun

I am playing Phoenix Wright and I know I will probably play through it like another 20 times like someone else said but its just because the game is so funny and so amazing and so awesome. Plus its 20 dollars almost everywhere if you can find it. So so worth it. I think I might go to law school because of Phoenix Wright.

-Pokémon Pearl or Diamond
-Star Fox DS
-Hotel Dusk
-Phoenix Wright, all of them
-Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure

-Mega Man ZX
-Puzzle Quest
-Planet Puzzle League


Coming soon:

And Nintendo has announced a Mario Party title is in development for the DS, if you like that stuff.

Phoenix Wright is indeed a good buy, and here are some of my recommendations:

A must buy, excellent adventure/interactive novel:

Great puzzle game similar to sudoku, very addictive:

Best platformer on DS:

Another great platformer, very fun and cute:

Must buy, tons of games plus online play:

Similar to Lemmings, great fun:

Highly addictive cooking game, somewhat short but fun:

Excellent "non-game" where you create music by interacting with plankton, very artistic and immersive:

I won't repeat the same games others have already mentioned, but after you check those out you might wanna try Trace Memories. It's an graphical adventure game with some really cool puzzles thrown in there and a not so hideous story. My sister got a kick out of it and I thought it was nice enough. Beware though it's short, like 6 hours short, though there's some replay value if you missed some of the optional puzzles. I wouldn't buy it full price, but if you can get it on the cheap I'd go for it, I think your gf might like it and so might you. Also Nintendogs of course, get the one with the Pug, my girlfriend loves that one.
