Got a new DSi, need games.

Circuitous · 12-27-2009, 09:13 AM

Help me out.

Current shopping list:

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Mario Kart DS
New Super Mario Bros.

Currently owned:

Brain Age 2

It's a DSi, so no GBA games. I was sad too.

For any of you that have played them, are any of the Castlevania DS games not worth getting? If so, why? And what would be the best order to pick up the worthwhile games if they can't be gotten all at once? Chronological?

The Castlevania DS games are amazing. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is good so far, Zelda Phantom Hourglass is good, Meteos is a good action-puzzle game. Final Fantasy III and IV are good if you like that kind of game. Kirby Super Star Ultra too.

The last DS game I really liked was Mario Kart DS. I want to recommend Animal Crossing, but it's not as fun as the Gamecube version since you can't collect and play old NES games.

New Super Mario Bros.
Yoshi's Island DS
GTA:Chinatown Wars - An AMAZING game that is well worth the buy. It's a shame it never took off.
Henry Hatworth - A very neat puzzle/platformer... despite some annoying points (very long attack animations make countering difficult)
Geometry Wars Galaxies - Orgasmic time-waster
Tetris DS - One of the hardest DS games to find... but tons of fun.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - If you like old-school point and clicks adventure games, pick it up

I refuse to have anything to do with Kingdom Hearts or Zelda anymore. Meteos I'll check out, I've already played FF3/4, and did you say Super Star Ultra? I am so getting that.

Mario Kart DS! Yes. Yes, of course!

New SMB, I've seen good things. Yes. And Yoshi's Island, we can try that. Chinatown Wars, we can try that. Okay, y'know what, everything Mooga said is on the at-least-check-it-out list.

I second the Henry Hatsworth. Girlfriend got it with her DS for Christmas, it's a lot of fun.
Also Mario 64 DS.
New SMB.

I played the original Castlevanias...the DS versions lost my interest fast. I love the Final Fantasy games...even Orcs and Elves wasn't half bad....but it wasn't hard.

Touchmaster
Mariokart
Brainage
Warhammer 40K
Etrian Oddyssey
Worms 1 and Worms 2

I have a bunch more but am not all that clear what it is you like.

Raynian · 12-29-2009, 11:33 PM

Meteos and Geometry Wars are great time wasters. Layton's is good, too. Most DS puzzle games are.

I wouldn't suggest the SM64 port, the controls are terrible. I got a headache playing it for ten minutes. And the Zelda games...only if you're really into Zelda. Phantom Hourglass was awful.

Mooga · 12-30-2009, 12:08 AM

Worms 2 was good because they actually worked with Team 17. I heard The first one was not nearly as great.

that's my view...plus networking in 1 did not work

Don't worry about what I like, I can go off recommendations and do a little research. I basically know fuck-all about DS games, though, and without this thread I'd've bought the Castlevanias and been done with it. I gots preconceived notions.
