So anyways I travel on the train a lot and usually listen to my ipod and sometimes I'll play tetris, Pokemon and some Mario Games. Can you guys recommend something I should be playing on my DSi? I've been playing Sonic Rush for a bit. It can be really fun or really frustrating. I don't play sonic games too often :/

TWEWY is the best game on the DS. Also castlevania (any of them) are really good, i think the first one, dawn of sorror? is the best.

Play through the entire ace attorney series, probably my favourite games on the DS

Here are others I recommend:

-Fire emblem
-The world ends with you (combat system is meh, but I really liked the story)
-Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story
-Dragon Quest IX (when it comes out in english, I've been playing the japanese version)
-Trauma Center (quite fun and immersive)
-Chrono Trigger


Can't think of anymore right now but you should definitely check those out

Making it Rain in Perth!
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

Dragon quest 9 for da long adventures.
Dragon quest i agree with but havent played 9 yet

However the ds zelda games are the two worst games in the series and if u like rsi, a bad control scheme and tonnes of repetition. You will have a ball

Yoshi's Island 2 -- secretly one of the best platformers in existence. Starts off cute and easy, then gets challenging, and finally ridiculously hard
PANEL DE PON aka. Planet Puzzle Leage
Picross
Elite Beat Agents/Ossu Tatakai Ouendan!/OTO2
Phoenix Wright series
Hotel Dusk
New Super Mario Bros Wii

also Trauma Centre, but might be hard to play on a rocky train though XD

hotel dusk is amazing, unny knows where its at.

but yeah

hotel dusk
pheonix wright series (playing these should be your top priority, you wont regret)
trauma center is something new and different and really fun, I was hooked on it for a long time when it came out.

if you havnt played chrono trigger, play the ds remake (which for once is a remake that doesnt ruin the original game, although I'd call it more of a port then a remake) chrono trigger is amazing and probably the best jrpg ever.

the world ends with you is also really really good, get that

I've only played alittle bit of chocobo tales but I loved it and thought it was heaps good.

and the first castlevania game that came out on ds is the only one I've played and it was really good as well

tetris is the **** but you've already got that, and if you like anime/manga at all, deffiently get jump ultimate stars, that game is sooo **** (and mega broken)

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? The Language Games are the best!
At least it actually teaches you something, other than brainlessly going through levels.
Pah.
And Fast Food Panic isn't 'that' good, since it's like... an hour long, if that, but it's still fun, for one playthrough, lol. c:

Jump Ultimate/Super/All Stars is lame.
I tried it and I found it grossly overrated/hyped.
My opinion, though, but it was still boring.

You know a good GBA game?
Sonic Battle.
Or Yggdra Union /+ Riviera: The Promised Land.
Or Golden Sun 1 /+ 2.
You should play those. c:
And a bajillion others but I cbf listing THOSE as well.

Jump Super/ultimate stars is basically smash with anime. It's a brilliant game.

its good but you gotta play it with people rather then 1 player, and not on wifi with ******s who break the game or gem farm, unless your really good like me and can beat the gem farmers 3 v 1 lolololololol.

FF4 is like one of the best in the series. DS remake only makes it better.

I want Pikmin DS

It could work on the DS.
Perhaps u could hold Left Trigger to activate whistle, use the styles for where u want it and blow in the mic.

Seems like a bit too much though.

Gotta support Luke on that, the original ff4 was better, the characters look like tards with lanky *** legs in the ds one.

But it still rocked and I still played it from start to finish.

Currently playing harvest moon sunshine islands... Best hm since the 64 one.

Haha.

You still mad about ToS2? Awww. How cute.

No, basically I said that it's cool that that is your opinion, but I still think you're an idiot. In general.

Like, a giant ******** basically. In general. Opinions. Onions.

I've played both, it's nothing bad to me lol. I've enjoyed them both aswell. Just like I enjoyed Chrono Trigger on the PS1. Which apparently is worse than the DS version according to you. Lol.

Dragon Quest 9 comes out July 23 here.

The other versions on the DS are also decent.

Giana Sisters is kinda fun when you are bored and plays alot like mario. Diddy kong racing is also a **** game.



I still don't understand why people will always hate on Phantom hourglass and Spirit tracks. :( Such shame.

look all this talk about ff4, jump, or whatever means nothing.

unless you have played the ace attourney series your not worthy of a DS. enough said.

jump is only good multiplayer anyway, so if your on the train alone that is useless to you.

planet puzzle league is one of my favourite games to waste time when on trains or something when i dont feel playing through something that has a story. Puyo Puyo is aslo similar but is only really fun multiplayer as well. so iw ould recommend planet puzzle league

They're fun as, Alzi, I don't understand either.

I thought FF4 on DS was good, the characters did look ********-ish, but... I don't see why that would really matter, since the original had stupid, ****ty looking characters as well?
And it's not even about the characters, the entire game has new graphics.
Same thing, anyway.

Also, stop b!tching, you two.
Srsly.
Learn to let go and move on.

Edit:

PlanetPL is boring...
Would rather play Cooking Mama than that.
Alternatively you could just read a book on the train instead. c:

thats funny, since I've never played the chrono trigger ps1 remake, so I'm not sure where that came from, also I've never been mad about tos2, why would I be mad about that? thats like me being mad at a vegetarian for liking veggies more then meat.
I'm not mad about it, I laugh at you and use it to point out to everyone who's not an idiot and prefers the orginal (read: the rest of the world) how **** your taste in games is.


lolololol seig you've got nothing on me buddy.
