Hey, just ordered myself a Nintendo ds lite Black from play, and just wondering what games you'd all suggest?

Thanks :)

Jackass DS was surprisingly decent.

What are you into? The ds has many puzzle games as well as RPGs, there are also a lot of old ported games in it from older systems (Just beat Crono Trigger again last night, and I am pick up Disgaea soon).
I would recommend Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Crono Trigger, and Pokemon (if you're like pokemon, its my secret shame). My girlfriend really likes the Trauma Center games, Brain Age, and Professor Layton.

Well, the classics would be Red/Blue/Yellow...

Anyhoo, I've spent many hours with Animal Crossing: Wild World if you're into that sort of thing. And Super Mario 64 DS was quite good I thought.

Well, there's the obvious New Mario Bros and Mario 64, as well as Phantom Hourglass, all the Castlevanias, Metroid Prime: Hunters, and the Phoenix Wright series. I also enjoyed Hotel Dusk - Room 215, Contra 4, Ultimate Spiderman, all of the Lego games, Mario Kart DS, Elite Beat Agents, Ninja Gaiden - Dragon Sword, Puzzle Quest, the World Ends with You, and the remake of Chrono Trigger.

That's most of my favorites.

The World Ends With You
Animal Crossing
Phoenix Wright
Mario Kart DS
Mario Party DS
Professor Layton

And Mario 64 Ds if you haven't got a N64
Also the Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones series are good.

Aha Yeah. :]
When I said "classic" I was referring to the pokemon series as a whole.

I'm currently hooked on Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

Before that it was FFTA2, but since they super nerfed assassins.... I didn't play as long as the first one.
Oh yeah.... and because there wasn't pvp.... LIKE EVERYONE WANTED!!!

sad face....
