New to DS, any suggestions

Hi All,
Finally bought a DS lite last week and am loving it.
Have spent the week playing touch darts.
My question is are there any good 2 player wifi games and do both players need to have the game. I am fairly new to the DS so am not sure of its capabilities.
Also is there any good downloads when you have it setup on Wireless broadband.
A mate had a game where you have to blow into the mic to get bubble to float past bombs or something, anyone any idea of the name of it.
Cheers.

That sounds like the mini games in New Super Mario Bros.

Best game on the system imo. Most multiplayer games allow for single cart play,

But it can be severely gimped. For example, mario kart doesnt let you pick cart and there are less tracks etc. if you only have one game.

Get 42 All Time Classics - you simply cannot go wrong with that.

Then get Mario Kart, Starfox Command, Metroid Prime Hunters, Brother in Arms DS....and wait for Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Worms 2.

I would steer clear of Metroid and Starfox,

Two great franchises yes, but two poor games.

Only for really harcore fans of the series' in my opinion.

Couldnt enjoy either of these and love Metroid Prime on GC and all previous Starfox games

cheers again guys,
I will take a look on ebay and see if i can get them cheap.

I though Metroid was amazing. The touch controls, aiming and moving were in my opinion perfect, and showed how good FPS can be on DS

Lego Star Wars is buggy as hell (graphically) but fun. "Nintendo Seal of Quality" my arse.
Worms is similar (barrel bugs)
NFS Carbon is just pants, very little draw distance, and it's squished into a single horizontal line of pixels anyways...and it's all dark...because that's when the kool kidz go joyriding. At night. Never crusing along the coastal highways on a sunny afternoon.

I bought a DS-X, got me some emulators & homebrew tools and never looked back.

brain training is an absolute must-have... teh girlyfriend got herself a DS with theme park and i love it. the game's great fun... hopefully they get theme hospital out soon

i think the game with the bombs and the bubble was mind quiz but thats taken off shelves for saying sp*stic but i had it before it was recalled lol

cheers again all.
Checked the mario minigames last night and it wasnt the one with the bombs.
I got that japanese drum game, seems like fun If I knew what I was doing.
Is there any english tutorial around for it?
The brain training games are great and I just love the sega touch darts, once I start I can't stop.
