In Handhelds

so far i have:

Mario Kart: DS
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Age of Empires: Age of Kings
NEW Super Mario Bros.

i've conquered them all but Age of Empires

basically i'm looking for some good games for the DS. as some of you know i'm not a really big fan of RPGs, and i'm not too fond of games that are nothing but mini-games (Feel the Magic, WarioWare, etc.)

Sonic Rush is a great game. Very fast paced. Also, if you like puzzel games, Bust a Move DS and Tetris DS.

Yeah, Tetris DS rocks for sure man. The two Metroid games on it are pretty damn good too (Hunters and Pinball).

Tetris is on my list, but i'm undecided. i've played the damn game 3294834 times on every console ever mad . i'll snag it if i find it cheap, or used.

that Metroid pinball game looks pretty interesting. i should be getting paid tomorrow, i'll see how much i get and decide from there.

thanks for the input so far guys.

I thought Mario and Luigi : Partners in Time was fun.
Pheonix Wright is fun if you like a lot of reading, Trauma Center if you have quick, steady hands, Bomberman if you like to play 2 player (my husband and I like to blow each other up).

I'm looking forward to this Touch Detective game that comes out at the end of the month.

Trace Memory is fun. It has several endings and the riddles are good.

Several Endings?! What does one have to do to get other endings in this game. I just got the "predictable" ending.

I will admit the did use the DS features quite well in this game (example: using mic to blow away dust).

I don't know well about the endings, but my wife said there are different endings you can achieve. She read that on some Japanese sites. I didn't check that yet, though...

I would say try these new games:
Star Fox Command
Mario 3-on-3 BasketBall (I know it's a sport game but it's a sport game made by SquareEnix)
And..Mario VS Donkey Kong 2.

i looked into Star Fox Command, and it doesn't sound like my kind of game. 90% of it is played using the stylus . the stylus/touchscreen is cool, but i don't really like when you HAVE to use it.

i'm considering:

Tetris DS
Metroid Pinball
Super Princess Peach
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (not too sure about this one, if baby Mario and Luigi scream and cry every 5 seconds i won't want anything to do with it )
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 (not sure on this one, after playing #2 for GBA, i' don't know how i feel about paying for this one)

I would say unless you find Super Peach for under $20CDN buy it. If not Avoid it.
Sorry to say this but avoid that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game. The New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Games suck..I can't belive I said it..

have you played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 or are you just saying that because you think 1 and 2 weren't all that great?

the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for GBA is pretty good, a little too short, and it's WAY too easy until you fight Shredder, then it's ridiculous.and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for GC was good too, just like the GBA version, it was pretty easy until the last level when you have to go through 3928 rooms and fight 3249349829843948 enemies. i never did get to Shredder in the GC version.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 for GC was horrible, the controls felt too stiff, you couldn't do anything, no combos, camera angles were sketchy. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 for GBA is ok, it gets repetitive, after i got halfway through world 3 and my file erased itself i gave up on that one.

i can probly find SPP for under $20 used, if not i'll snag Tetris DS.

thanks for your input Aaron (and everybody else ).

No prb dude. I said not to go with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games because of what I played the GCN ones, they weren't all that great but who knows maybe this one is good!

i never did play the GBA one. i always wanted to buy it, but never got around to it
