DS collection: suggestions!

ghostchant

Hi all, been collecting DS games for the past while, in terms of the sheer volume of quality games it's my favourite console of all time (just shading the snes & dreamcast!). Anyway I figured I'd come here and look for suggestions as to undiscovered gems I may be missing! Here's what I have to date:

Mario & Luigi : Bowser's Inside Story
Castlevania (all three of them)
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Lunar Knights
GTA: Chinatown Wars
Chrono Trigger
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict
Big Bang Mini
Yoshi's Island DS
Tetris DS
Wario Ware: Touched
Broken Sword
Henry Hatsworth
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan
Elite Beat Agents
Rocket Slime
Kirby Superstar Ultra
Pokemon Platinum
Jump Ultimate Stars
Disgaea DS
Knights In The Nightmare
New Super Mario Bros
Yoshi Touch & Go
Super Mario 64 DS
Professor Layton (both of them)
Geometry Wars Galaxies
Brain Age
Bangai-O Spirits
Scribblenauts
[EDIT] The World Ends With You

Also had some games stolen in a break-in a few months ago, some of which I've managed to replace but these ones I've yet to replace:

Space Invaders Extreme
The Legendary Starfy
Puzzle Quest Galactrix
Mario Kart DS
Peggle
Ace Attorney: Justice For All
Pokemon Diamond
n+


If anyone's still reading suggestions are more than welcome! I've a few on my radar but no doubt I'm completely oblivious to some games that are great.

Wobbuffet

Hotel Dusk Room 215
Mario and Luigi Partners in Time
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise
Super Princess Peach
42 All Time Classics

Sorry to hear about your stolen games. Thats awful

Get a pokemon game. They are so damn addictive. Suikoden Tierkries if you can find a copy.

Wow!

Just looking at that list reminds me what a great little machine the ds is.

I don't see soul bubbles on your list. Etrian Odyssey is suppose to be very good as well. Is Knights In The Nightmare any good?

Retr0gamer

Have to recommend Etrian Odyssey 1 and 2 as well.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
The World Ends with You
Any of the Lego games are great
Fossil Fighters
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Contra 4

Thanks for the replies, sorry left out The World Ends With You from the original list!

Contra 4 is definitely on my list of things to pick up, along with Soul Bubbles (Have had Soul Bubbles in my hands in shops many times, never made it all the way to the register though!)

Hadn't considered Princess Peach or the Etrian Odyssey games, cheers for that.
I've seen mixed reviews for Suikoden Tierkreis so wasn't sure, suppose it might have been unfairly compared to its predecessors. Will look out for it!

And I've played Knights in the Nightmare for all of 20 minutes, it's near the top of my backlog list though! From what little of it I've played it seems pretty complicated, but the kind of game you could completely lose yourself in.

I'm currently halfway through Suikoden Tierkreis and it's brilliant. I'm really enjoying it. I'd go as far as to say it's better then some of the main entries in the series

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier

It looks to be like you're missing Picross and meteos (the original one!) on that list;).

Gummy Panda

Wow...just wow. Not many games can lay claim to prestigious "The Superman 64 Award For Worst Game" from NGamer (thanks Wikipedia)

Thanks for the suggestions all (almost bought Super Robot Taisen OG Saga in the states earlier on in the year..might be worth another look)

Jesus what a console!

Add Anno 1701 to the list, great game.

Zoo keeper - pick it up 2nd-hand for cheap.

very simple bejewelled style game but the game that I play most regularly on ds for a short burst. time attack mode is really addictive - always trying to beat my high score.

another one that's not often mentioned -

"Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ"

great little shooter. also wins best ds game name!

- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
- Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

I get the impression from Kingdom Hearts that I'd need to have played the original KH games, which I haven't. Also (and this is really just personal preference) I'm not too keen on 3D-style DS games for the most part, the console seems much better suited to 2D games.

yep time attack mode is the bomb! my best score just under 4m - 3.98m or something. that's the only mode I play. you need to unlock super hard mode to get better scores. you do this by getting the top score on the high score tables for all modes. the weird test mode can be a bitch to do that on 'cos it's a bit random.

The_B_Man

holy crap!! I already had all the high scores but never bothered going back to check!!

you dont know what you've started!! me missus already has over like 5 million! shes mad like that tho, always gets top global scores in bejewelled on facebook! mad yoke.

but ye, both of us are furiously going at it day and night now....unfrotunately im talking about zookeeper!!

better than me then! I have just over 4 mill now.
