youthacademy

Hey,
Just managed to get my hands on a DS this crimbo, the girlfriend was after one. Dont know much about them though. shes 21. any ideas on games? any one out there that age with one?

Rew

Brain Training and Nintendogs, after that not sure depends on the girl...

herobear

killyoutodeath

Ah yes, I have similar problems trying to find games for my own girlfriend. No matter how many times you try to get her to play Zelda;phantom hourglass and other pieces of sheer genius, games like Sprung;The Dating game win out in the end.

Okay I'm being a bit unfair...

She mainly plays anything that involves the touch screen..and pretty much beats my ass at two player in them.

Warioware,
Trauma Centre,
Cooking Mama 1 &2
Kirby Canvas Curse (Okay she wasn't too into that one, but she should be...it's great!)..All the mini games in New Super Mario Bros and Mario 64

Rhythm and beat based games like
Elite Beat Agents,
Ontamarama,
Taiko no Tatsujin

And then there are the Puzzle games such as;
Puzzle Bobble,
Tetris DS,
Super collapse 3D,
Prism Light the Way,
All those Brain training things..

There's a Sims game. Girls love the Sims. I think it's the illusion of being in control.......

tba

My one loves Zelda... and tetris

jayteecork

Diner Dash.
Awesome game - addictive as hell.

mikeruurds

My wife is also addicted to Zelda and Animal Crossing.

Now if only she would play some multiplayer Mario Kart... :mad:

brav

My girlfriend loves Braintraining and New Super Mario Brothers.
I think New Super Mario Brothers was the first game she finished

I got my Sis Zelda so id say I'll pick up Trauma Centre and New Super Maro for my nearest n dearest.....

Girls are people too.

Get her Zelda and Elite Beat Agents. Both are great games. Maybe Brain Training or Nintendogs too, they seem to be mandatory, and nearly everyone seems to like (or at least use) them.

Riesen_Meal

Her Mam is getting her the DS + Brain Training so I know she'll be boxed off in that department!

I kinda liked Trauma Centre so id be prob buying it for the two of us

Whats Elite Beat Agents? Is that a quirky jap dancing thing? Doubt she'd be into that, I better break her in easy as she never had a games machine before!!!

Super Mario is always a winner, her bro has a snes wit SMW so that may make things easier to play it...

Rew

Meteos is a great game, highly addictive

Fony Tenton

Mine loves zelda and the sims:castaway or whatever its called

I'd say Brain training, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Zelda...

Really can't go wrong with any of them.

I'll... lie you! Wait that doesn't make sense.

Fieldog, Elite Beat Agents is the American version of the Japanese rhythm game Ouendan. It has an easy setting so shouldn't be too hard, it's definitely fun and has Western music in it that she'd know (Madonna, Avril Lavigne, Jamiroquai etc) instead of Japanese songs. And if she's insane and doesn't like it, you probably will.

Oh Koneko, we hardly know each other!!!


Elite beat agents... That's a game that I've always meant to pick up but never got round to getting...

FutureGuy

if anyone offered a game to my gf because it was one that "girls could play" they'd get a punch lol.

I'd suggest New Super Mario Brothers. A nice learning curve if she hasn't played Mario before. I'd also suggest Zelda:Phantom Hourglass. If she has no gaming experince, then Brain Training or Elite Beat Agents are great choices.

You shall not regret it. I'm sure you can pick one up on Ebay for a good price.

smokingman

My wifey plays 42 All Time Classics every single night in bed....seriously....

Kinda strange thinking about the old cliche picture of wife and hubby in bed at night in the fifties reading books....it's the same now except she plays her DS, I play mine...

charba

I love Theme Park, (in game at the min its in the buy one get one free pile too)

Also I am totally addicted to Bomberman!

Smokingman, we're the same as you he plays his while I play mine. Friends take the mick out of us, but we're both quiet so they should be happy ;D

Get yourself a 3V card. It may cost an extra 5 stingers but if you get a maximum value 3V receipt you will save a hell of a lot more buying on line. Should be available in most shops like spar. Just apply online.

Star Lord

I have one but stopped using it, heard that ebay wasn't accepting the 3v card numbers anymore or something like that... ?

you can lodge money into a paypal account using 3v vouchers and then use the paypal to buy stuff off ebay

Beebox

They're selling Elite Beat for 30 euro in Smyths but you can also get it in their 2 for 50 euro deal.

sweet, any other games there to compliment elite beat agents in the 2 for 50?

Cathmandooo

Elite beat is fab I love it

Buy her Cake Mania! It's really really sad but I and a lot of girls who have played on my ds love it

My favs are: brain age, brain age 2 (love the piano), bomberman

My mam always plays brain age 2, she's always hogging it :mad: I would buy her one for xmas but she specifically said she doesnt want one

tba

My one also likes Diner Dash, for some reason.

WetDaddy

OP, I think the bottom line of the responses on this thread is that every person likes different types of games... "Even girls"

Maybe if you gave us some more info on her, i.e. does she play games often / is she new to games, do you reckon she'd be keen to sit down and play for long stints, or will it just be a quick pick up and play here and there, etc.

Beebox

They had 'Brain Training', 'More Brain Training', 'Sight Training' and a couple of others in the deal. I didn't really pay too much attention, it was only 'Elite Beat' and 'Brain Training' that interested me.

tman

Another vote for Elite Beat Agents.
I didn't like it anywhere near as much as the Jap original (Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!), but still got lots of enjoyment out of it and a good few genuine "lol" moments.

CathyMoran

I love the Spryro games as the dragon is really cute but it is quite hard.

jolo

Brain training does get very boring
Brain Age 2 is a bit better(I like the music bits hate some of the others.)
Yes Nintendogs
I'm insane - I hate Elite Beat ...

Another Code
Phoenix Wright 1, 2 & 3
Monopoly,Boggle etc
Animal Crossing
