Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Thinking of getting a DS...need some games suggestions.

So I recently played a little bit of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and I was blown away how fun this game is.  Now I'm considering buying a DS to play Order of Eccelsia.  I need a good list of games to consider getting as well. Any suggestions?  I do like rpgs, stratergy games, platformers, puzzle games, and I do try other genres.  Thanks!

Puzzle

  • Professor Layton and the Curious Village - One of the best puzzle games I've ever played. Great story, and great puzzles.


Strategy

  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  • Advance Wars: Dual Strike - either game will work, I suggest getting both. Days of ruin is more "gritty" and has more realistic people in it. However, Dual Strike has some really cool gameplay mechanics.

RPG

  • Lunar Knights - An action RPG with some stealth elements and addicting gameplay. It has this interesting game mechanic where day and night change how your characters perform.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll probably get a DS in about two weeks. Exams are coming around the corner and I have to study!

I just bought the new Castlevania: Order of Esc**** something like that... I haven't even ordered the breaking of the seal yet, I hear its a good game also... I'm going on a date in the city tonight so I guess I could play it on the train ride back upstate.

Well... if you are planning to get the Castlevania games, don't forget Portrait of Ruin too.



Already have and beat that game... I'm not new to Castlevania. >.> Not assuming your saying I'm new just saying that if you name it I've probably played it... though I'm not a fan of Castlevania like others - I do still enjoy the 2d ones, the 3d one I played on the GC felt like a failed DMC.
