I am going away for a trip over the weekend, and need a new DS game to play.

List of games I have played:
Super Mario 64
Ouendan 1 and 2
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Trauma Center
Phoenix Wright 1, 2, 3, and Apollo Justice
Tetris DS
New Super Mario Bros
Big Brain Academy
Star Fox Command
Megaman ZX
Dragon Quest Heros
Club House Games
Children of Mana
Contact
Pokemon Ranger
Elite Beat Agents
Final Fantay III
Jump Ultimate Stars
Bubble Bobble Double Shot
Custom Robo Arena
Puzzle Quest
Planet Puzzle League
Picross
Megaman Star Force
Luminous Arc
Rune Factory
Heros of Mana
Worms Open Warfare 2
Drawn to Life
Tingle's Rupeeland
My Sims
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Front Mission
Megaman ZX Advent
Mario Party DS
Geometry Wars Galaxies
Advance Wars Days of Ruin
Professor Layton
The World Ends with you
Kirby Squeak Squad
Metriod Prime Hunters
Pokemon Diamond
Mario Kart DS
Meteos

Ok then... What do you suggest....
 
Interesting in crosswords at all? Nintendo CrossworDS is a decent timekiller. Or go New York Times Crosswords if you want more of a challenge and a slightly better interface (I like the touch keyboard better than writing letters).
 
- Touchmaster
- Trioncube
- Devilish
- Retro Atari Classics (gets bashed, but I like it)
- Star Wars Episode III (old-school 2D beat-em-up/hack 'n' slash - fun IMO)
- Konami Classics Series
- Pac N Roll
- Super Princess Peach
- Nervous Brickdown
- Glory Days II
- Hotel Dusk
- My Word Coach
- TMNT (GBA version though - one of the best 2D beat-em-ups in years)

EDIT: Forgot Dawn of Sorrow, but others posted that after.
 
One more for the dog$ list!

And to give you a serious answer, get Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It's an awesome game and probably one of the best ones you haven't played on the DS yet.
 
Play GBA games.

Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Golden Sun
Golden Sun 2
Mario Golf Advance
Mario Tennis Advance
Ultimate Card Games
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

etc.

Why the DS Rocks - Official Game Recommendation Thread

He did list a lot of games in the OP, so this thread might be fun to see if anyone is dumb enough to get banned for listing something initially mentioned - like that one PSP thread recently where the guy wrote "no game recommendations" in bold and some people still gave them.

i don't know which is worse, the people who post these threads or the people who complain about them posting them
 
That reminds me that with ethel having left, we need a new DS Recommendation thread that can be updated

Also get Prism

Well, his list is unalphabetized and a complete pain to wade through. I wouldn't blame anyone for accidentally listing something he already posted.

Granted, my list of recommendations to him is the same way - but if he doesn't care about doing the bare minimum to present a coherent, easy-to-read list, why should I? ;)

I just want it noted that Meteos wasn't on the list when I suggested it. So I will second the Kirby Canvas Curse suggestion.

Well.... you could think of a game then do a page search to see if it's on the first post.

How about....no.

If the OP can't be bothered to present his list clearly, I'm not gonna do extra work to compensate.

Moot point anyway, because I don't believe my list of recommendations has any repeats.
 
In descending order of preference out of the stuff you haven't played (and "stuff you haven't played" is not much):

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Super Princess Peach

Going by the message of your avatar, though, maybe SPP would be best.
 
Wait wait wait. You haven't played Kirby: Canvas Curse? That's like, blasphemy, or something. Was (and probably still is) my favorite game on the DS. Get it. Get it now.
 
Both Sonic games are ace. Bleach is a good pick if you're into 2D fighters.

I bought and downloaded a digital game to my Switch 2. But it won't let me play it because it says I need a virtual game card. Any help?
