I just Bought a DS Lite.  What are the best games?  I typically like adventures, rpgs, and mature themed games.

I'm not a major DS user due to my wii though you should get kirby super star ultra that 2-D mario game and also get Mario and luigi bowser's inside story when it comes out



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

GTA Chinatown wars is a good game.



Adventures: Ace Attorney series, Hotel Dusk, you may check Broken Sword port as well, Prof. Layton for more puzzle rahter than adventure oriented gameplay.
RPG: TWEWY obviously, Mario & Luigi 2 (or wait for Mario & Luigi 3 - it looks very promising), check SMT: Devil Survivor, Fire Emblem and FFTA2 for tactical experience, you may check Chrono Trigger port as well.

Speaking about your 'mature'. Mature themed or rated 'M'?



Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
GTA Chinatown Wars

     By Mature, I enjoy games that have complex themes like Kojima's or Suda 51's (but I haven't heard that many great things about his DS games).  I do however like the art in games like Castlevania or fighters that offer fan service featuring attractive female characters in short skirts or bikinis.

 



The World Ends With You, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, New Super Mario Bros, Chrono Trigger and check Pokemon Platinum(if ur into the series)

Well, I've always found Kojima's script in MGS games a bit too dramatic and unnatural (like soap operas or hyper patriotic movies), but he definitely got a talent and I like his sense of humor :D If you like it as well, you'll enjoy Ace Attorney's writing (Shu Takumi), especially earliest titles. BTW Hotel Dusk script is very good as far as my knowledge of English goes, though plot not very original to my liking, but still fun to read. Not familiar with Suda51 except for NMH and killer7, but the first game isn't that spectacular on that field, and speaking about killer7... well, the man got very twisted sight of reality that for sure, bit I didn't get this game at all :/

Overall hunt down for adventure and RPGs game, if there any 'themes' in games - those are the prime examples due to the fact, that they're usually text-heavy (didn't like TWEWY script, but there's some kind of message being sent in the name of the game and ending... you should check it for yourself). But, you know, at this point games not that type of media that usually have 'mature' themes compared to, well, more 'mature' media, like cinema or literature :) wrong media, in other words.

UPD: Among adventures games on DS there's a hidden gem. Time Hollow has an interesrting gameplay feature... a butterfly effect. That was fun to chage a present day by time travelling to your past (maybe a little tedious sometimes), but overall script is just... meh :(



Phantom Hourglass and GTA chinatown wars will start you off very well
