Good for you. The boss battles, though quite easy are the most imaginative I have ever seen in a Zelda game. Truly glorious.

Mario Kart DS and Kirby Canvas Curse, these two are a must.

My little brother got a DS for his birthday. I wondering the same question.

Ive tried EBA and it's definetely not my thing.

I love Stratgety and RPG. Considering FF 3.

I'd recommend Mario Kart DS which is my favorite mario kart ever and has incredible replayability, seriously hundreds of hours.

New super mario is pretty good too and even includes a few minigames which are fun with another player.

Advance Wars is repetitive but surprisingly entertaining and very addictive.

As for the Brain games, not everyone likes them, I think they are pretty fun actually and a change from the usual games.

I would not recommend getting FFIII : I was pretty excited about it but it turned out to be quite a disapointment. Story is extremely lame and basic, the fighting is just terrible (yes there are different "jobs" but once you've selected them for your characters, you always do the exact same attack with each one of them a thousand times.

Sonic Rush was quite disapointing also, but I was never a huge sonic fan.

 

I've never played Kirby Canvas Curse, is it really that good and do the controls work well?

Animal Crossing: Wild World, if you like Animal Crossing.
Elite Beat Agents, if you like rythm games.

Picross is a great value, if you enjoy the puzzles. 345+ and then some (you can download 20 new ones every two weeks-140 already available.)

There are too many games to recommend. Really depends on taste.

For example, about half of my library(30+) is puzzle-style games.

@Falcon-x:

Howdy. As for your question, Kirby: Canvas Curse is very good, and the controls are excellent. The design of the game is tailored perfectly to the DS. Play it!



Hates Nomura.

Try Lunar Knights (good action RPG), but avoid FF 3. That game is so boring that I doubt anyone in these forums finished it.

What are some of the reviews on Lunar Knights? Christmas is coming up and I might get a few things.

I recommend Elite Beat Agents, good story and great rhythm game. If you've got a good wireless connection, definitely get Phantom Hourglass. the single player game is really short, but hte multiplayer competition is fun. Mario 64 is good if you liked the original one for the 64, but what I enjoyed the most about this was the numerous minigame shorts for the thing.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Check my profile. Every game I've got on there is great fun. Also, if you like Mega Man, give ZX a try. One of my favorite Mega Man series.
