Dragon Quest 9, sick rpg. Excellent production value, very worth playing, although it's pretty difficult because the lead producer expects you as a player to "use the internet, because it's there."

Dawn of Sorrow, awesome castlvania game. Beat it 20+ times, absolutely adored it, although i haven't played the other ones.

Advance Wars Dual Strike, just playing it now but I'm having a lot of fun thus far. Awesome turn based strategy game.

Chrono Trigger speaks for itself of course

Mario Kart DS, I've played this DS game more than any other in my collection, never gets old. Easily 500+ hours of enjoyment.

FFTA2 is fun if you're new to the genre, but to be honest it's shit compared to Tactics Ogre and FFT on the PSP(and psx). FFTA1 is a good pick up if you're not using a 3ds, i liked it a lot more than the 2 second version of it.

I've never played The World Ends With You, so I can't comment on it =/

Final Fantasy 4, Tactics A2, 3.
Chrono Trigger.
Castlevania: any of the three games... although Order of Ecclesia is better than Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin, imo.

On the ds there exists a game I have unfortunately never seen another living soul play, it is fiendishly difficult and easily the funnest 2d sidescroller i have ever played on the system. It has challenging/hilarious bosses, a story that is incredibly quirky (yet still manages to be really awesome) and game play that literally combines your typical puzzle game ala tetris/puzzle quest with a beat em up sidescrolling game in a non gimmicky way. Not to mention the game is the perfect mix of tea ,crumpets, robots and rock and roll.

Play this game"Henry Hatsworth in the puzzling adventure"

The World Ends With You cannot get enough recommandations.

I loved Elite beat Agents too (funny rhythm game).

If you like puzzle games, try "Prism : light the way". Simple and straightforward puzzle game based on light rays.

Shin Megami Tensei : Devil Survivor was great too.

Elite Beat Agents is really fun if you are into the music/rhythm genre. I thought it could be pretty challenging too..maybe I just suck

I also recommend Ghost Trick if you want to try an adventure game. Great puzzles/writing/graphics and decent plot.

Maybe it's just me from playing Advanced Wars since the first game, but I didn't like the new CO stuff in Days of Ruin. 5 range Battleships also kinda annoyed me. Campaign didn't take much brains to S rank either, and there was no hard campaign either.

Anyway. My personal list:

Advanced Wars - Entire series is fun and if you have friends, multiplayer is really great. Probably one of my favourite series on Nintendo games.
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon - made by same developer as Advanced Wars. Also very fun. I missed some elements from the older GBA games though.
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan - English Version is called Elite Beat Agents. Amazingly addictive rhythm game. There's also a PC Freeware Clone too.
Taiko no Tatsujin - Not sure what the English name is. Also another fun rhythm game. Played a lot in Asia at arcades too.
Chrono Trigger - The remake for the DS was pretty good at keeping what made the original fun.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced A2 Grimore of the Rift - I played it and had some fun, but I preferred the older versions. Still decent though.
Pokemon Silver/Gold Remake - Jhoto was my favourite universe so this goes on here no questions asked. Haven't played Black/White so idk.
Phoenix Wright Ace Attourney - Great series overall and is pretty engaging.
Professor Layton - Really good series as well. Definite recommend.

Advanced Wars, both the GBA and the DS versions. Play them all.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) and FFTA2 Grimoire of the Rift (DS)
Mario Kart DS
Fire Emblem (GBA), Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones (GBA) and to finish it off Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon (DS).
Castlevania is also great on the DS, I'm playing through Portrait of Ruin, and while really odd (maybe I'm just not used to the series) it's intensely fun.
Sonic Rush and Super Mario 64 DS should also rank highly on the buy list.
It's kinda weird that this topic came up, I literally cracked out my DS for the first time in a year 3 days ago, and wouldn't be able to give as many answers if the games weren't splayed out in front of me right now. GODDAM IT I love handheld gaming, only problem is that it's taking away from my SC2 play time. Ah, decisions decisions.

Only Pokemon Black/White for the Pokemon games.

Blasphemy, Black and White have a lot of short comings, you shouldn't overlook HG or SS they have a lot more play time compared to the newer ones. of course both games have infinite play time if you go online but doing so will give you a desire to punch a small child in the face.

As far as games go I would recommend the Chrono Trigger DS port which is actually the PS1 version of chrono trigger without the horrible load times. Great benefit to this is that you get to see all the great cutscene movies done by the Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragonball and Dragonball Z.
