The last portable I owned was a Game Gear. I always pictured myself as a home cosole type person. But lately as much as I love my Wii I wanted a second console to flesh out my gaming. I looked at the game list for 360, PS3, PSP, DS. The DS won out.

After searching through many stores I finally found one. I have been mega impressed. The screens are very bright and colorful, and the touchpad has worked great so far.

I bought Brain Training, Animal Crossing, and Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime.

All three of these games are fun I will enjoy them for a while.

But I ask the massive braintrust What games have I been missing all these years for GBA and DS.

I am a little burnt out on Mario and Zelda but I will probably get to those eventually. What else should I be looking for?

My wierd tastes include games like FF7, Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart, Dark Cloud, Monster Rancher, SSX, River City Ransom, Zack & Wiki, WiiSports

Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

Lunar Knights -- sort of a 2-D isometric CastleVania/Metal Gear hybrid (made Kojima Productions).

Contra fucking 4

Trace Memory/Hotel Dusk -- old-style adventure games with sweet uses of DS uniqueness.

The Bleach fighting game, made by Treasure, is really really good.

Both Advance Wars

Elite Beat Agents

New SMB, of course

You cant be burnt out on Mario and Zelda - NSMB & LOZ-PH are absolute must haves on the DS !!

All, very excellent suggestions. Thanks.

I think a beat-em or fighter will be my next purchase maybe River City Ransom, Contra 4, or Bleach (I love Treasure games)
