I need some good game recommendations for games to play on my DS Light. (or w/e its called lol)


Things to consider:
I play the DS alone, not with friends as we generally enjoy different ways to play video games.
I won't get a DS3 or any consoles like XBOX
I do have a Wii but the games suck for 1P so... :/
I love strategy games like my Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and my SC:BW
I wish there was a SC:DS lol...
I really like TCG's as well. If there is anything like Magic The Gathering for DS/Game Boy that would be awesome lol.
I play a lot on the go instead of at home so thats why I don't have Consoles.
I will accept Game Boy games too. I have too many to list lol.
No Advance Wars or Fire Emblem reccomendations please!
Games I currently have:
+ Show Spoiler +

Yugioh: Nightmare Troubadour (it was $5, and has proved to be a good time waster)

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (A bit long for my taste, I have yet to finish it )

Lego Battles(The first Lego RTS, and on a DS, I felt like giving it a shot, was worth 4 hours of game time outside the achievements)

Civ: Revolution (Nice time waster, I can beat all difficulties as long as I don't get a shitty spot)

Chessmaster (to practice my chess skills in between tournaments)

Narnia: Prince Caspian (OMG I don't even know how I got this....)

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Worst Zelda I ever played )

Lego Swar Wars II(no comment)

BattleShip Risk and Clue in the same game.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn(GS Nostalgia yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah)

Diddy Kong Racing(One of the first games I bought for my DS... I regret it)

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors (A $5 game that seems to be some weird Zelda and YuGiOh combined into a fucked up game that just annoys me lol...)

SPORE: Creatures(I lost it like a year ago, but it was designed for little kids moreso than adults, totally different from the real SPORE =/)

Star Trek: Tactical Assualt (I remember liking this but I lost it like 2 years ago :/)

I also have all the Zelda games for Game Boy(Four Sword ftw)


Update:
Game Chosen Is... + Show Spoiler +
+ Show Spoiler +
rum roll please*+ Show Spoiler +
The World Ends With You

DUM DUM DUM


Reason: Every top 20/10/15/etc. game list I found for DS had this in the top 10 if not the top 5. Many explained that there was nothing really wrong with the game. Great music, sound effects, storyline, etc. So, I'll be buying this shortly and I'll let you know when I get it.

I will also be doing another blog shortly on a totally different topic. For those of you that remember my mysterious episode when I was 14(I am now 15) where I kept hearing someone trying to open the door, well, this is also at that level of spookiness. But it comes from another place entirely. Not from outside the home, but from inside the home. Your guess as to what it is. Anyone that guesses correctly should be payed $10, unfortunately that money won't come from me

Do you like JRPGs? Infinite Space and Front Mission are two off the top of my head that I really enjoyed.
No I'm never serious.

I wrote a list for my friend way back when.

Off the top of my head: Rune Factory series
Professor Layton Series
Mario Kart
Kirby Series (Kirby Superstars Ultra is my favourite, but all of them are good except squeak squad in my opinion).
Super Scribblenauts was good
Okamiden
Bangai-O Spirits
Super Mario 64 DS
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Warioware
Yoshi's Island DS


There are seriously a lot of good games, I'm going to get my list from my friend, I found about 100 games that were worth playing

Final Fantasy III

a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh games.

I think there's others too, you can probably just search around.

Also, pheonix, right?

Starfox command is pretty fun, and because of this thread I looked through my DS games collection, and i can't find my Castlevaniaortrait of Ruin cartridge... T_T I'm very sad about that, that game is amazing, I would recommend it.

HOTEL DUSK ROOM 215. Nao.

Also, I liked the first movie Transformers games, even though nobody else did... the free-roam and vehicle scanning stuff was a lot of fun.

That game bored the living crap out of me. I really tried to like it. I spent so many hours waiting for the game to get fun.

I really don't mind story-heavy games, but it never seemed to get to the game part of it. It was just reading a linear detective story with very little playing involved (except for a bit of walking to different rooms between dialog).

I'm not saying it was bad, it just didn't do it for me. :>
