So I finally got around to getting a flashcard for my DS (Not 3ds compatible)

What does TL recommend for some good plays? Golden suns, Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei, Ace Attorney series, Radiant Dawn, 999, and Okamiden are what I have right now.

edit: wish I had noted I own the actual world ends with you lol.

I got everything recommended in the thread that I haven't played already, thanks everyone

Puyo Puyo Fever.

Turn the voice to japanese and gl hf. Do not play with english voices, it will make you deaf.

Puzzle games are awesome :3

If you're willing to sit through japanese menus then Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary works too.

Final Fantasy 4 remake is really good on the DS.

Ace Attorney is an obvious one but you already mentioned that.

Mario Bros and Mario Kart are always good.

Phantom Hourglass is pretty fun.

Then Pokemon of course.

I've mostly been using my DS to help me learn Japanese lately so I've been a bit clueless to new games.

Only Pokemon Black/White for the Pokemon games.

Final Fantasy 3/4 are all good. If you're into turn based strategy, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon or Final Fantasy Tactics A2 are good picks.

There's Final Fantasy Revenant Wings if you want an RTS on the DS.

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks are a must.

All I can think of for a game to wait for is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2...

Never played 999, but the other 3 I can definitely vouch for, very fun and addictive. Ghost Trick was a total blast, not too much replay value afterwards though, but it's still a lot of fun. Definitely get those games.

Why does no one say:

The World Ends With You

I've played MANY DS games and I find thsee two the best. Phoenix Wright series is great too

All the Castlevania games. Maybe it's just me, I can't get enough of them though. When's the next one?

I heard Radiant Historia is good if you're the type to like old school RPGs like Chrono Trigger and such. I haven't got around to playing it yet though. It got a lot of high marks.

I didn't know DS had that. Sometimes I think I'm too out of touch with gaming in general.

I loved Kirby's Avalanche... I'm going to have to hunt this down before my next trip. I love puzzle games on the go.

Imagine Starcraft 2 for D.S.

press Y to Macro and X to Micro.

A to attack and B to defend.

DS has one legendary game that everyone needs to play regardless of your video game preference: The World Ends With You. It's an action RPG, and probably considered one of the greatest rpgs across any platform.

As for other games, it depends on your style.

Turn Based Strategy:
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising - I've played 300+ hours on this game over the course of 2 years. That's how good it is. It's a GBA game, and I found it to be the best in the Advance Wars/Super Famicom Wars series. If you enjoyed it, feel free to play the two DS ones.

Music:
Elite Beat Agents - Kinda like in the DDR/Guitar hero genre, but you touch the screen with the stylus.

Racing:
Mario Kart DS - Probably the best Mario Kart game in the whole series. Great multiplayer as well.

Puzzle:
Professor Layton - Basically a collection of random puzzles. It's a lot of fun if you want something with no action but a lot of thinking
Scribblenauts - Definitely one of the funnest games on DS. Basically, you are given a simple scenario that you have to complete such as moving object A to point B, killing a certain creature, etc. The fun part is that you can do anything you like to complete it. You type in the name of an object and you get to use it. For example, let's say the mission tells me to kill a zombie. I can simply type in Tank, and run the zombie over. Or I can be more creative by getting a space shuttle, attaching it to the zombie with a tow rope, lifting it up and then dropping in onto spikes. There are tens of thousands of objects you can use, including memes like ceiling cat, or the large hadron collider.

Adventure:
999 - Very suspenseful game with a great storyline

RPG:
Chrono Trigger - I only played the SNES version, but this is still one of my favorite rpgs. I enjoyed it almost as much as FF7 and The World Ends With You

Will add more as I think of them

Warhammer 40k game! :D

pretty good, if a little bit uneven in the difficulty ramp. Pretty nice to fool around with if you don't mind a mildly awkward stylus interface.

Also Tankbeat, fun, multitasking on both screens with stylus though :3
