Hey folks,

I have to go on a long trip tomorrow and I wonder if you can recommend me some good DS games. I don't prefer anything special; it just has to be a funny experience for like 10 hours in total. :p
I'm not that much into the Zelda saga but I quite like the mario and metroid games.

Maybe you guys can help me out. I'm pretty much lost without entertainment on such trips... :[

thx in advance,
much love

you gotta try lost magic it's basically starcraft except instead of pressing a button to cast a spell you draw a picture.

My GF has a couple of Professor Layton games on her DS and they're pretty good. Would recommend them if you're into puzzles and such.

Regardless of if you're into the genre, the mario RPG games are all really fun. Also the final fantasy ports are pretty good as well. Mario vs donkey kong can effectively waste some time too!

Phoenix Wright series is amazing, but rare. Definitely my favorite titles on the DS though.

Advance wars DS for strategy fans. (Days of Ruin is alright, but not as good as Dual Strike)

Professor Layton series is pretty neat for logic/puzzle, although the story component can get tedious fast.

Pokemon of course!

Elite beat agents is so much fun.

Good mario tites like New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS

There are many others. The DS has a great selection for everybody's preferences. You should also try games that are out of your usual interest zone, you will usually be pleasantly surprised and find hours worth of joy!

The World Ends with you
Probably the best square RPG in the last 5 years, combat revolves around pins that you collect lots of customizability although the controls can sometimes be a teensy bit wonky

Elite Beat Agents
Check out the Osu! thread on TL its basically the exact same game.

Pokemon
If you havent played a pokemon game in god knows how long grab Heartgold or Soulsilver finish those then play Black/White (unless you never played Gold or Silver in which case just skip to B/W)

Mario Games
New Super Mario Bros. - Awesome platformer all around
Mario 64 DS - A slightly enhanced port of Mario 64
Mario kart DS
Mario + Luigi Patners in Time and Bowsers inside story are great fun if your into RPGS

Professor Layton
Never played myself but always gets praised
