Add Super Mario Strikers and Mario Power Tennis if you like multiplayer.

DONKEY KONG JUNGLE BEAT! Everyone needs that in their collection. There is NO other game like it.

Oh, I should add, you should probably only get Animal Crossing if you aren't planning on getting the DS version. For the other games on the list though, go with the originals all the way (SMB>SMB2, Pikmin>Pikmin 2).

Gladius. Its a little scarry at first, uber amounts of text, but once you get past that... it is sweet. Personally, I get the same feeling playing this as Advance Wars, they are completely different games, but share some striking similarities. Blowout is a also a good time killer. Neat idea + Low Budget = Cheap Game. Shaweet.

I prefer Pikmin 2, just because of the lack of time limits.

I also love P.N.03 if you want semi-mindless but stylish action, but I might be in the minority on that. You can generally pick it up cheap online.

Also, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Pikmin is a puzzle game. Pikmin 2 is an adventure game, with puzzles of course. So go with your preferred genre. Pikmin 2 is better in general, actually, so get that if you must only have one.

And Super Monkey Ball 2 sucks. It sucks. Sucks!

Best DS game that also makes good use of the touch screen, and preferrably with some type of multi?

Advance Wars?

If you're going with touch screen experience, I would go with Meteos. Much multiplayer fun to had there.

Advance Wars is an excellent multiplayer game, but I find the standard controls much more perferable.

Just my opinion, but it's whatever floates your boat.

I agree with Hippie. Advance Wars DS is an amazing game, but it is completely playable without using the touch screens. If you're looking for a great strategy game, you can't go wrong with AWDS. However, if you're looking for a great game that shows off the unique features of your DS, Advance Wars probably won't cut it.

I'd also recommend Meteos, assuming you like puzzle games. It's a great game with excellent replay value and multiplayer mode.

Kirby Canvas Curse is also a great game that couldn't be done on another system. However, it is single player only, which might not fill your needs.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #786 on:** January 01, 2006, 01:20:01 AM »

I haven't played any past AW before, or any *RTS's for the matter; does it let you ease in and do some experimenting or will it be too complicated for a newb?

*besides Pikmin, if you really count that

Larson · « **Reply #787 on:** January 01, 2006, 02:53:21 PM »

Looking to pick up a new game for the DS...

Right now I have:

Mario Kart DS
Animal Crossing:WW
Meteos.

What would you suggest??

MrAustin · « **Reply #788 on:** January 01, 2006, 06:14:05 PM »

Mario & Luigi ... I had my doubts on it, but it is one of the most engaging and fun games out right now.

IceCold · « **Reply #789 on:** January 01, 2006, 07:37:47 PM »

SONIC RUSH, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Castlevania DS, Advance Wars DS, Nintendogs and if you can Yoshi: Touch n Go.

They start you off slow. It's real easy to get into.

Got paycheck today goign to video game store need help deciding what games to get so plese reply with usefull info.

Ok heres the delima, I am looking to start filling in my GC library since I know there are more good games out there that I dont know about and I need to start feding my hunger. and since I got a raise at work and they started giving me 2 days off instead of the 1 day off and then calling me in anywyas, now I have time to play games. So I need to know some things.

What are the Lord of the Rings game for GC like? are they any good, are they anything like Balders gate or are they more like FF?

Are there any more AD&D games besides Dark Allience for GC, or is DA 2 for GC? I need to know this because my sister is huge AD&D nut and she wants to play DA 2 and we sold our PS2.

Are there any other Plastforming adventure games, youknwo lie MArio and such, besides that awefull Wario World. L liked Pac man world but it wasnt satisfying enough. Are the Frogger games good, L loved the original arcade ones and trust the developers who make it to be good.

LAst q, is Evolution Worlds for GC anythign liek Evolution for DC? ok gotta get going times wasting talk latter.

I haven't played it, but I've heard that Evolution Worlds isn't very good at all. It's supposed to be very simple (almost a My first RPG kind of game). I believe it was rushed to market in an effort to be able to proclaim it was the first RPG on GameCube (much like Quest 64 for the N64).

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with any of the other games you mentioned, but I'd recommend checking out the site I linked to. You'll be able to find a wide variety of reviews there.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Buy it. Now. Seriously. Now.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #794 on:** January 19, 2006, 09:26:56 AM »

Alright im thinking about getting a wrestling game for GCN, the last one i got was wmxix and if it wasn't for the lousy story mode i might have kept it. I've found Day of Reckoning for $11 on amazon.com USED, and i've found Day of Reckoning 2 for $29.99 at Gamestop.com NEW.

If i buy the first one i'll buy the 2nd one in a few months so should i just skip it and go for Day of Reckoning 2 instead?

IceCold · « **Reply #795 on:** January 19, 2006, 10:51:22 AM »

Skip it. DoR2 offers you nearly everything the first one has, with quite a bit more. The graphics are also improved.

I've been meaning to pick up 2 for a while now (have the first one but my friend owns the second and I've played it quite a bit); I'm waiting for it to go down to $35 - $40 CDN..

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #796 on:** January 19, 2006, 11:54:33 AM »

couldn't u order from usa's gamestop.com and get it for $29.99, or does that translate into like $50 in canadian?

IceCold · « **Reply #797 on:** January 19, 2006, 02:24:07 PM »

That's less than $40 CDN at the moment, yeah, but then there's shipping and GST, and it will come to around $50. I've seen it for $45 here, but I haven't bought it; I'm holding out until I trade in the first one and waiting to see if the price goes down a bit. I've noticed that these days here Cube games go down in price pretty quickly. I saw RE4 in Superstore for $35 (after an automatic $10 rebate) just a few months after its release. I had already got it, but I'm hoping it's the same case for DoR2.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #798 on:** January 20, 2006, 04:32:07 AM »

Ok well things went pretty good I would say, I managed to get Super Castlevania IV for SNES, Double Dragon for NES, Sunset Riders for Genesis, Need for Speed Underground 2 for GC and Fable for X-box,

I couldnt find the first Prince of Persia like I wanted, Lord of the RIngs Two Towers was there and it was only 6.99 so I might get it next time.

I mostly wanted to get evolution worlds for my younger sister, she plays the original one on DC and likes to play GC more so I wanted to know if it was anythign like the DC version the guy at game store said its the thrid in the series and plays very similar. My Sis is only 17 so she hasnt played many RPGS, Evolution and Fable are her first ones next to Mario RPG which she plays the most.

Icecold I think I mave mentiond several times I hate Donkey Kong games but at least you were suportive and mentiond a platformer. I actauly have been considering getting Frogger and the Pac-Man world games but I don't know yet.

NFSU2 kicks @$$! Thats the kind of Need For Speed I like, plus cool music. I love how they got The Doors AND Snoop to do a song together, love both of them and getting a song together was cool.

I still havent found Toe Jam and Earl 3 for X-box is it a hard game to find? thats the top of my list right now bt I cant find it no where. Oh and before someone says ebay I dont buy from them, nor any other online site.

Oh and I played Pokemon Stadium while there just so see what it was like, never played Pokemon game before, and yeah I still dont get whats the big deal.

Rhoq · « **Reply #799 on:** January 20, 2006, 06:16:38 AM »

animecyberrat - I know I'm a few days late but here are some more suggestions...

If your looking for a decent platformer, you might want to check-out Pitfall: The Lost Expedition. Fun and nostalgic.

I would also recommend the sorely underappreciated Beyond Good & Evil. It's one of my absolute favorites from this generation.
