Hey all.

Want to expand my DS collection... What are considered to be the best games for the DS? Any and all recommendations would be awesome.

What have you got already?

My favourites (that I can think of now) and in no particular order are:

Dragon Quest IX
Picross DS
Legend of Zelda (while both are great, Spirit Tracks is better)

It's been ages since I checked, but off the top of my head... Trauma Centre, Phoenix Wright 1, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Super Mario 64 DS... that's all I can remember at present!

Start here and work your way down from the top.

The phoenix wright series is very good. Many of them are ported to other platforms but they never changed the resolution so its still best to play them on ds. Ghost trick from the same director is also very good.

If you liked DQIX the other dragon quest games on ds are also excellent.

My favourites:

• The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Phantom Hourglass is good too, but not as good)
• Super Scribblenauts
• Advance Wars (Dual Strike is a lot of fun but Dark Conflict probably has a better campaign and better balance)
• Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Can't believe nobody has posted Castlevania. There's 3 amazing Castlevania games available on DS.

Castlevania was mentioned in an earlier post. I'm embarrassed to say I have all three and have barely played them. It's all part of the backlog.

This season I will mostly be playing, Soul Bubbles!

Kingdom Heart's DS is worth a luck, not the best KH title, but a solid RPG for the DS and the graphics are excellent - plus Square Enix know how to make an enjoyable and involved game

I should have added Ghost Trick. It's great, six hours in and hooked. Plus it's currently reduced in most shops as it didn't sell in great numbers.

Professor Layton! Zomg. All of them are incredible.
Elite Beat Agents (I just wish it was longer )
Chocobo Tales

I never like Animal Crossing and couldn't figure why people thought so highly of it

I suppose as well it depends what sort of games you normally go for.
