    Warioware in my opinion.

    Depends if you've already played Mario 64 I suppose.

    I have both, and i find Mario to be much better.
    Warioware is too gimmicky for me.
    That's not to say it's not fun.
    I also have Yoshi Touch and Go, which is pretty good too.
    Great if you have a mate that has a DS as you only need one copy of the game to play multiplayer.
    It's a pretty tough game though, or else i'm just crap.

    My favourite game at the moment, isn't even a DS game.
    Zelda: The Minish Cap, is a fantastic game that you can play in your GBA slot on the DS.

    I'll probably pick up a few more games soon.

    The Yoshi Touch and Go is very good and I see Pac Pix has been released, but of the launch line up it has to be Mario64, especially those mini games, super sweet :)

    I say Mario 64 too. Minigames are brilliant.
    Warioware Touched, and Yoshi Touch and Go are just behind it.

    I've justed ordered Warioware Twisted, which is supposed to be much better than Touched. Its out now in the states, or early June in Europe.

    i would say either get mario or start a collection of the best gba games until the better DS games come out. thats wot im doing anyway..


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭flogen


    Mario is the only decent game, IMO, most others are high score games like Wario (a great game for what it is), Yoshi etc. Saying that I havent played Asphalt (supposed to suck) Tiger Woods or Rayman., Project Rub is good craic too.

    Had a go at Pic Pax (or whatever its called) and it seems like a bit of fun, very addictive

    Hold on to your money for meteos or import it. Excellent game.

    Mario 64DS is good but the dodgy controls means its inferior to the N64 classic. Warioware is good but too easy and the worst of the warioware series.

    what type of game is meteos? And when is electroplankton out in the US? If it's soon I might wait and not get the japanese version, even though it's not hard to figure out despite the language.

    oh, and do imported games network with Euro games?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 8,679 Mod ✭✭✭✭Rew


    Meteos is a great tetris style block falling game, I posted a flash knock off of it a while back if you do a search. Very addective, most reviewers reckon its better the Lumnies on the PSP. Wait for the english version though as there are loads of extra bits that only make sense in english.

    Mario, Yoshi's Touch and Go or WarioWare. I've really enjoyed all of them. Didn't like Pac-Pix when I picked it up for a while in work last week. Project Rub is fun if you like minigames. Pretty much all the rest of the launch titles suck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    flogen electroplankton isnt out till nov in US. get meteos!!!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭flogen


    dang. Might just get the japanese version.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭i_am_dogboy


    I would consider electroplankton to be the best game on the DS so far, wario ware and mario 64 are pretty excellent too. Get polarium if you have someone else to play against, great addictive competitive fun. But yeah, get electroplankton, there's hardly any reading so there's no reason to wait for the euro release.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox


    Whats Electroplankton? Sounds good. I have Wario Ware which is good but becomes just a novelty very quickly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,340 ✭✭✭Nephew


    is there anything decent coming out this summer? its literally been months since i played my ds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,482 ✭✭✭RE*AC*TOR


    While electroplankton is great, it isn't a game and its not for everybody. If you really want it you might as well order the jap version because there's very little langauage used in it at all.

    Yoshi's touch and go is great - but is a high-score game. If you like that kinda thing then great - go for it.

    I think though that Mario is the best all round game - longevity, mini-games etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Got Mario64 (x2 - I got 2 DSs :D) & Jap Meteos - and that's more than enough until Bomberman & MKart come out...
