Pretty much just Tetris DS. I mean it's tetris but they made it better. All the modes are my favorite.

Mario DS
I got this as the first game for the DS. Overall, I am fairly impressed with how much stuff is packed in it.

Meteos
I heard this game was pretty good right here in Planet GameCube Forums, and upon research, found out it was indeed pretty good. Now after playing it, I say it's freaking awesome. My only complaint is that you can win just by randomly doodling around on the touch screen real fast.

Animal Crossing DS (Recently Sold)
I was horribly dissapointed with Animal Crossing: Wild World, mostly because I was expecting a sequel. Wild World is basically a port, with the only redeeming value that you can play on-line with a friend. Although this is great, it just wasn't new enough to me to keep my interest.

Mario Kart DS
I am absolutely astounded with how well this game was built. All the itty bitty details throughout the entire game just shows how much polish Nintendo put into this rendition of Mario Kart. I'd have to say that this Mario Kart's physics rival even those of Mario Kart 64's in terms of most fun. My only complaint is that when you smash into a wall, you're just stopped, there's no real attempt to create realistic wall kinetics.

I love the single player, I love the multiplayer, this game is a great buy.

Metriod Prime: Hunters
Unfortunately I havent gotten too far into the game yet, and mostly only played multiplayer(WFC/ against AI) when I could. I am thoroughly impressed with the graphics and gameplay, and the single-player doesnt do too bad of a job of being a good game in itself. I'd probably find MP:H a lot more fun if I could actually play with more than one person, and even better yet, speak with them, but oh well. Deffinitly a great game.

If you haven't played Sprung yet, get it. You can still find it at some game stores new OR used, or at online stores.
Seriously, this game is HY-Larious.

Advance Wars DS
For the love of god get this game! I find it sad that it doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves, it's a much better succesor to the throne than the second one for the GBA. It's currently, and most likely will remain, my favorite game for the system.

I'm currently playing Ghost House on Master System. It's a very emotional game, punching dracula and all. Good thing DS is crap and there are no good games on it, ever, so I can play this!

Edfishy · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2006, 04:49:46 AM »

I had totally forgotten about Advance Wars DS, Arbok. I'll put it on my list.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:22:27 AM »

It currently has Bleach DS in it. Leave it to Treasure to outdo Sega's console games on a handheld (and leave it to Sega to completely remove the blood in a game based on a series with more blood than Mortal Kombat. Sega does what Nintendon't?). I think this isn't the first time Treasure showed Sega how it's done, especially in a licensed game (Astro Boy!).

Sometimes there's Kirby Power Paintbrush in my DS but that game often frustrates me.

don't get me wrong but what is Sprung?

Apparently, Sprung is a game that is beloved by only a lucky few, including myself, my brother, and our little 8 year old cousin.

PlanetGamecube thought it was a decent title

But most other gaming review sites didn't know what to make of it and their very low scores represented that confusion.

Incidentally, Sprung is a "Dating" game. This is a Japanese genre, developed by Ubisoft, a french company, and with a script written by an American who works for reality TV.

Japanese genre, French Publisher, American Reality TV. I love it, you may not.

EGM TOTALLY hated the game. They gave it ones and zeros. It's only second to "Ping pals" as one of the worst reviewed games at EGM (that was way back when the DS was released, though).

Kairon · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2006, 04:30:58 PM »

I just can't understand a bad score for a game that had me playing for hours and hours under my blankets when the lights went out. I can't imagine how this game could be a dissatisfying purchase when my brother would keep me up at night because I could hear his raucous laughter from down the hall when he stole the game from me. I don't see how this game can be written off when it is the one game a certain 8-year old girl keeps wanting to play whenever I bring my DS over.

I've been on Metroid Prime Hunters, Tetris DS, Tony Hawk's American Sk8land, off and on I go with Super Princess Peach and Pac N Roll

jasonditz · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2006, 07:51:45 PM »

I'm also on Sk8land at the moment, but I'm stuck trying to do the Downtown pro challenge with the skitching... my character just never builds up quite enough speed to make that jump.

I havent played my Ds since it broke. I tried tetris a couple times but it gets harder as the crack gets bigger. If my Ds wasnt broken though Id be playing Tetris all day and all night

What about Tetris Worlds for PC?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2006, 03:49:54 AM »

Who needs to buy retail Tetris for the PC? Hell, you can just grab QBasic and write your own!

animecyberrat · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2006, 09:25:34 AM »

well I was gonna get tetris worlds for my pc but i already have puzzle bobble 1 and 2 so and majong so theres no time for tetris there. Also PGC eats up 3 fourths of my day.

Hmm...I was trying to get back into AC:WW, but, as said, it's a pretty disappointing sequel.

TAKE THAT!

This is clearly evidenced by the presence of a "Yay Day," your Honor. Phoenix Wright owns. I'm still playing MKDS...never gets old. I do touch up on my Sk8land game every once in a while, too.
