Nintendo DS: What's worth getting?

[Karinya]

I'm considering getting a Nintendo DS, primarily for FFTA2. Is this worth it, and if I do get a DS, what other games for it are worth getting?

Ace Attorney. You gotta try at least one Phoenix Wright game.

I'm awful, because I completely neglect my DS. I have something against portables or something.

I bought my DS when the news of CT being ported to it came out, and that's the only reason I got it.

I'm playing FFTA2 right now, and it's a very good game... I have 1 minor issue with it, but it's more me than the game itself. New Super Mario is good, as is Mario Kart, and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was done incredibly well.

Kirby Canvas Curse.

The World Ends With You is fantastic on multiple levels.

I enjoyed the Final Fantasy III release because that was one of the few FF games i never played and i enjoy job systems.

I'll echo praise for The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass.

All the portable Castlevania games are pretty high quality if you are into that style of game.

I'm a big fan of the Mega Man Z series, but those games can be ridiculously challenging.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time was fun.

Then there are any number of N64/snes ports that you could get that are well worth playing.

I personally didn't get a DS until I heard of Pokemon D&P. But whatever your game is, you will not regret getting a DS, believe you me.

Also, people mentioning various DS games but no word of Elite Beat Agents? For shame! D=

EZ Flash V+ and an 8gb micro SDHC....best investment you'll ever make. Of course, if I like a game after I "try" it then I buy it. If not, it gets deleted. If you do decide to get it, PM me.

Re: Nintendo DS: What's worth getting?

It really depends on what types of games you enjoy... these are some that i've liked a lot so far.

Phoenix Wright series

Mario Kart

New Super Mario Brothers

Final Fantasy III (FFIV is probably a no brainer as well)

Professor Layton and the Curious Village (worth it if you like puzzle games)

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance II

Contra IV (very high difficulty but pretty fun)

There are some others that I have less experience with but are supposedly great games (The World Ends With You, TLoZ: Phantom Hourglass & FFXII: Revenant Wings)

I wouldn't recommend Mega Man ZX to a non Mega Man fan. First off, it's hard, secondly, if you didn't like Mega Man X or Mega Man Zero then you're not going to start liking it now.

Maybe that's because it sucks? Rhythm games that follow the LYRICS instead of THE DAMNED RHYTHM are stupid; especially WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DANCING.

Also, just remembered; if you have a Wii, try the DS download service on the Nintendo channel.

Definitely get "The World Ends with You," it has a crazy good soundtrack, not to mention awesome story and unique play that'll last you many, many hours.
