I basically stopped playing the entire school year, so I'm fairly curious what good new DS games have been released in the past year or so--I definitely need something to do over the summer!

I'm pretty curious what other TL.net denizens plan to do over the summer, too~ Historically my summers have been fairly boring, but I definitely hope I can change that this year.

I think he actually wants to have fun.

These might be a little old but Castlevania: OoE and GTA Chinatown Wars are both really good games if you haven't played them yet.

Megaman Zero Collection, honestly. IMHO those games were better than any action games on the DS. You get both quality and quantity for a value package release.

There's that Kingdom Hearts game...no further comment on KH games from me.

There are two Shin Megami Tensei games in the last year. SMT: Devil Survivor is a grid-based tactical RPG, which I thought was decent if a little unbalanced. Most SMT quirks are mitigated by the fact that there's strategy in terms of character positioning and saving neutral units. SMT: Strange Journey is a more traditional SMT offering. Although I haven't played it, I can't recommend most standard SMT (or Persona) games with the general brokenness and recurring "press turn" mechanic. You may have different mileage than me of course.

Do you have a flash cart? Get the port of Nethack. Easily the best handheld game ever and it's not even a handheld game.

Also I really enjoyed Infinite Space, Mega Man Zero Collection, Kirby Super Star Ultra, KORG DS-10 Synthesizer.

Lufia and Golden Sun are due out later this year.
it's my first day

I don't really play any of those games to be honest. I played maybe... a few of them once to test them out, but like 90% of it is pure shit...

Legit games are:
- the Game & Watch collections
- Tetris Party Deluxe
- America's Test Kitchen - really really well made
- Ivy The Kiwi - AMAZING GAME
- spade invaders 2 - this one was surprisingly cool
- Picross 3D - this game is also pretty legit

BONUS: I was playing my little ponies at school and i instantly became the coolest kid in school.

I've always meant to get a flashcart... which one should I get and where can I buy one online?

All the Final Fantasy games are winners, along with Chrono Trigger, the Pokemon games, and Dragon Quest. "Puzzle Quest" is seriously addictive if you haven't played it, but I hear it can be hard to find.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is good, I liked the first 2 better though.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is decent(I really like Fire Emblem though)
I'll post if I think of any others.

More importantly, remind us again whether you go to an elementary school, kindergarten, or pre-school.

Just kidding! ;] Um, I'd recommend 365/2 days if you're at all into Kingdom Hearts, and maybe Heart Gold/Soul Silver if you like pokemon (though imo it was really, really boring =~=").

A lot of people seem to like The World Ends with You, so I recommend that even though, personally, it's a bit meh.

Dude, i just fucking showed up with it. It's like jaedong losing to 14cc 3 times in a row, no one fucking expected it.

I was like, "yo want to see what im playing?"
and they were like, "yeah sure man"
and when they saw it man, it was just... glass shattering.
I mean, they never saw something like this before, you know what i mean? it was like.. just happening so fast. and damn, there was nothing for them to say, its like being rick roll'd for the first time, back in the day. You don't really know what the fuck is going on, but you know somethings not right

My favorite DS Game of all time:
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes

Read reviews here:

I was really sad after I finished the game, I really hope there is a sequel.
