who has it, and what games?
I just got one.. along with Brain Age, and Age of Empires, both of which I picked up cheap. Used DS games are quite pricy though, even older ones it seems. It seems you can't pick up anything good for less than 30-40 bucks (though I picked up AoE for 10).
AoE is AWESOME though... who would've thought 5-10 years ago we'd be playing PC strategy games on a handheld?

I've been on a tear with my DS lately (the broken leg had me confined to the couch, and it's a lifesaver for travel!). Lately I've played... Moon (blargh... no 1st person shooters on a tiny screen please) Retro Game Challenge (if you're 30 or older, you will love it, otherwise, you might not get it at all) Fire Emblem (as good as ever) Puzzle Quest Galactrix (do battle in space using match-3 gameplay... awesome!) Spider Man Web of Shadows (apparently superior to the consoles' versions!) In other news, my vision's fine, thanks for asking!  |

I only own three games for mine, all of them Castlevania- Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. The first two are quite good and I'm enjoying the third so far, although it's quite hard. That's good, though, more of a return to Castlevanias of old.
If I ever see Zelda: Phantom Hourglass somewhere used for a cheap price, I'll probably pick that up as well.

Ah, I finally gave up on Ecclesia... a little TOO tough for my tastes. I prefer to enjoy my time on the DS, not to want to throw it through walls.

I really love the stylus only controls for Zelda.. it works excellently. Do u guys still play GBA games? I picked up a bunch for a pretty sweet deal. Metroid Zero Mission Super Mario World Yoshi's Island Warioware Twisted Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga Sonic Advance Mario and Luigi is VERY funny and unique. I like them all.. except Warioware (the microgame thing got old in one sitting), and Sonic.. I've never liked 2D sonic games. They just bored me for some reason, though inexplicably they are popular. Still trying to find a copy of Zelda Minish Cap.. and I've heard Advance Wars is really good. |

Must be the parts that require you to shout at your DS in order to advance gameplay. I've heard Advance Wars is really good. ALL the Advance Wars games are perennial favourites of mine, and the DS AW Days of Ruin is particularly good. |

Okay, new find, and it's VERY fun.
Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure is all about the titular man from (Britons will love this) Tealand, who goes in search of the solid gold pieces of a gentleman's suit that grants magical powers to the wearer (the game's intro shows Genghis Khan and Napoleon wearing parts of the suit through history). In Henry's case, this includes making him twenty years younger (until he takes enough damage) and control over the Puzzle Dimension.
(deep breath) You see, in the top screen of the DS is the platform game where you guide Henry around, but in the bottom half is a match-3 game that never stops moving (even when you go back to the platformer). When you slay an enemy with Henry's trusty sword or musket, it doesn't disappear, it drops down into the match-3 game where it becomes another block. You can switch back and forth between the two games at will (if you have the energy for it), and only by matching enemies can you truly get rid of them (if you don't, they reappear in the top screen and are harder to get rid of). This is also your key to power up items and one-ups.
Wicked sense of humour, fun gameplay, frantic action, a GREAT soundtrack, and you can turn into an indestructible robot. Oh, did I mention the indestructible robot suit? That's there. It's awesome.
Seriously, if you like platformers and puzzle games, great combo. I'm really enjoying it so far.
