Truth to say, i say DS are for kids, i enjoyed the Castlevania games that came out, but its kiddish, and the features are limited. I sold it after finding out no good games that i want is coming out for it. Im 18 years old, im tired of playing Mario ...

Actually, I'd say its the other way around.

I know a LOT of adults (30yr-50yr) olds with DSs, and they use it for lots of things (including the Brain Training games, translation, language/cooking teaching, and more).

I don't know any "adults" with PSPs, either teenagers or "hardcore" gamers who need to complete their collection. Oh, and people that use it as a media player.

...

Games I would recommend on the DS:

 - Advance Wars: Duel Strike

 - New Super Mario Bros

 - Metroid Hunters

 - Mario Kart (if you like MK)

 - Zelda:PH (definitely)

 - Castlevania (the FIRST one, not POR - it was crap)

 - FF3

...and a host of RPG titles. As I said - it comes down to what games you actually like. I also "generally" recommend Brain Training, Nintendogs, Clubhouse games & Pokemon - as travel games that will keep you (and friends) busy.

If you are more into shooters or racers - you might want to consider a PSP instead.

I had the advance wars before duel strike(hours just to finish a battle)

I dislike old school mario 2d side scrolling games, sunshine and galaxy ftw though

Metroid Hunters was fun, a shooter on the go lol

I destroyed Mario Kart ds, mirror mode and all, even messed up the right trigger on my ds lite a bit from the mass snaking i did on it.

Zelda hates me and i hate zelda, we just can't get along

lol even though POR was totally random shit for a story, i still enjoyed it, and i also got aria of sorrow(or the ds title, im not sure what the name is) and i loved them, especially when i unlocked alucard to play the alternate story line (say what!!!) Even by my name you can tell im a big castlevania(and hellsing) fan lol.

I didnt play FF3, but i played FF6 like crazy (60 hours) in the gba version slot, i loved that game to death, until i finally got stuck in the cave where you control two parties. I'll pick it up again though, i think it came out for the psp also.

btw, you just made me realize how much fun i had with the ds, until i just didn't play it anymore, left it on the shelf, for it to collect dust for the next 6 months before i sold it for 50$. I just moved on. I'll buy it again for a new castlevania thats supposedly gonna come out, i waste money like that lol
