Best DS game to buy first?

smokingman · 11-03-2005 8:26pm #1

Hi all,

Going into town to submit to my urge tomorrow even though I should be saving for a new car but what is the best one out there so far?

I'm thinking it's between wario ware, project rub and maybe the puzzle one I can't remember the name of that looks a bit like tetris but plays surprisingly well...

any ideas lads?.....

It's currently the only real adventureous game out so far. Most games are on DS don't seem all that good.

mario is great been playing it since wednesday.

try out warioware aswell not addictive as tetris was on the GB but close

i_am_dogboy · 11-03-2005 8:34pm

I would have to recommend Wario Ware, I never imagined so much fun could come from such pointless little mini games. I suppose Mario 64 is also worth getting but I haven't played much of the ds version-though if it hold true to the original version then it's really something special.

Is the puzzle game your thinking of polarium? Looks good but I haven't tried it yet...

got my ds today and woah am i impressed mario 64 ds is amazing best release game

Kevok · 11-03-2005 8:44pm

I got Wario Ware and Mario, would recommend them both.

Played Polarium today in college though, Syth from here has it, it's a great game to play multiplayer with and you only need one cartridge between two to play it. It's a puzzle game, a bit more thinking involved than anything in Wario Ware.

smokingman · 11-03-2005 8:44pm

That's it - Polarium, yeah....anyone adventurous enough/ had too much money to get it?

Gileadi · 11-03-2005 9:29pm

is mario really worth a look if you finished it on the n64 already,is there any new content added?

Rew · 11-03-2005 9:32pm

50 new stars, redesigned levels and mini games. Never played the orignal though...

evad_lhorg · 11-03-2005 9:43pm

dont really see whats so great about polarium,

Kevok · 11-03-2005 10:06pm

Have you played it though? I thought it looked mediocre at best but it's incredibly addictive. I'm thinking of going in and picking it up tomorrow.

Smellyirishman · 11-03-2005 10:58pm

I bought polarium

Tis a nice brain tickler. Nice fun game for trying to top a score. You can make your own puzzles and send them to other people.

The real winner, is the single cartridge MP, myself and my GF were having great fun with it.

I wanted either this or mr.driller, cause I like casual puzzlers on handhelds, i'll prolly pick up driller too, but I am definitly happy with Polarium.

rainbow kirby · 11-03-2005 11:09pm

I'm really liking Polarium too. Again, looks basic but addictive as hell. I've a bus trip to Wexford tomorrow evening, my DS is gonna keep me company. I got WarioWare too today, it's great fun but it seems to be much easier than the GBA version.
And due to a sweet combination of staff discount and reward card points I got the 2 games for a total of 45 euro.

I have Wario Ware, Polarium and Mario 64. Played a bit of the wario ware demo, but haven't played the full version much as I've been playing Polarium. It's a fun puzzle game. As Kevok said, the multiplayer is fun.

Yeah, you can probably finish it all within an hour and a half... I'll try get high scores in some of the Album games though. The cut scenes were longer and crazier than the GBA one, and the music is great but the retro section wasn't as good at all IMO. Apparently the forthcoming GBA Wario Ware where you have to twist the GBA/DS is better though.

I got 999 (max) on one particular minigame yesterday :cool:

Got Super Mario 64 DS, and Warioware: Touched - thankfully the touch-screen seams more then just a gimmick, but it really depends on how it is used in the future.

Project Rub looks twisted.

Rew · 13-03-2005 10:49pm

Rub/XX:XY is actully alot of fun. Like Wario ware but with some kind of a story and the games last longer then 5 sec.

RE*AC*TOR · 14-03-2005 9:00am

Having gotten WarioWare - I have to say its really really fun. Great sense of humor, great inventiveness. Maybe not for everyone but I love it.

monkeyfudge · 14-03-2005 1:59pm

I got Wario Ware Touched yesterday.

And yes. It's pretty easy. You can finish it very quickly and with a huge amount of the games unlocked. There are only about 5 or 6 games overall that I have yet to play on it.

Some of the toys you get are pretty fun. Like the Grandmother and the Parrot. Oh.. and the thing for measuring your lung capacity.

Yes. But the tea is too hot for Granny. Did you blow on the tea for her to cool it?

bleh... I can't get that Ashley song out of my head....

I can guess... Its one of the Mic games where you have to be quiet while the monsters walk across a tightrope. You can turn that game on, leave it for half an hour and come back - you'll have a highscore no problem

Retr0gamer · 14-03-2005 3:23pm

That ashley song is in my head as well but not as much as the rock the mic song.

Smellyirishman · 14-03-2005 3:25pm

Wasn't he talking about SM64?

I would imagine the wanted one in that is easy enough to get 999 if you don't go insane first. Some other ones are possible too with enough effort

{EDIT} Blow on the tea,genious!I'll give that a go later. I was touching her, then I realised I WAS TOUCHING HER, so stopped playing that game, it scared me.

It was pretty simple, the one where you have to wave good bye to a person (or two aliens) by rubbing the touchscreen horizontally. I didn't lose any lives until I got to 999 but then the numbers stopped increasing so I let it end.

Rnger · 14-03-2005 10:57pm

how much we looking at for bundle deals and stuff?

But that's not a selectable minigame in the Album, it's inserted randomly to Mike's or mixed games as a trick

Best DS game to buy first?
