Nintendo DS Recommendations

    Getting a Nintendo DS today, and want to know what games people think I should get with the console?

    To help, the kind of games I've played most recently, include Batman Arkham Asylum on the XBox360, Ghostbusters on the 360, Mario Kart on the Wii and Metal Gear Solid (the newest game) on the PSP

    Years ago, when I had a Game Boy Colour, I enjoyed playing Pokemon, and although I may pick up a Pokemon game I was hoping people could give me a run down of some of the best RPG, Platform and Racing Games available for the DS at the moment

    I'd get Mario Kart DS as a racer its basically unchallenget on the DS.Pokemon Heart Gold or Soul Silver as a RPG they're remakes of Gold/Silver for a Rpg maybe Dragon Quest or the excellent Mario & Luigi Bowsers inside story as a RPG.
    Can't go wrong with New Super Mario Bros or Mario 64 DS as a platformer or Sonic Rush if your into speed.
    Other games i'd recommend are Animal Crossing,Prof Layton,Zelda Phantom Hourglass,Advance Wars & Warioware Touched or D.I.Y.
    There is a lot to sink your teeth into.

    Gonna answer my own question hahaa

    Yup I got it the other day and have to say im enjoying it immensely. For anybody that likes CSI, Law and Order, John Grisham or just any aul puzzle and solve in any genre be it movies, books, films and games.

    Im enjoying the way the game challenges you to use Logic to combine evidence and to Present the right evidence at the right times to move along. and several other aspects like the dialogue tree that can change the course of a conversation.

    Mario Kart DS is probably my favourite Mario Kart. The Wii one was pretty good too though.

    If you like Phoenix Wright, the Higurashi VNs are translated, I'm not sure if the DS version is out yet or not but it's probably in the works. Keep in mind they're not games, but books, but if you like the visual novel aspects of Phoenix Wright it's a good read(though Umineko would be more ideal, if that ever gets a DS version : ). Another Code and Hotel Dusk were of course brilliant interactive VNs too.

    If you like Advance Wars, try Super Robot Wars: Original Generation.

    Zelda Phantom Hourglass, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Pokémon HeartGold, and if you want a bit of a twist on Pokémon, I highly recommend Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon: Explorers of Sky. They are brilliant RPG's and will have you going for ages with epic plot twists and stuff.

    GTA chinatown wars if you havent already played it on the psp its the best game on the ds imo
