    Must Have DS Games

    It's been a little while since one of these came up, and alot of games have come out.

    My GF is going to buy me a CycloDS since I can't really leave the house or do much since having hip surgery - I thought it was a nice gesture, so I'm going to take advantage of it.

    I'm looking for really any type of game, I'm not too into imports that are in different languages, but some are playable. I like english, I like to be able to read lol. Obviously the new pokemon is out soon and thats a must, but other than that, what should I be picking up?

    I haven't bought a game for DS in over a year, so there are a lot of games I could pick up. With the cycloDS I just need to torrent the game file and don't require an emulator i'm sure right? Anyways, any help on what games to download would be great, since I know you guys know whats good.

    The World Ends With You, Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, Soma Bringer, Ouendan/EBA series, FF ports, FFTA2 is the ones I can think of right off the bat.

    If you'd give the specific genre preference, I can probably think of more, but those are the ones I really had fun with.

    I'll list all the games I have, I think they all are really good.

    -All 3 Castlvania's : Portrait of Ruin, Aria of Sorrow, Order of Ecclisia
    -All the Phoenix Wright games I think there's 3 or 4, including the Apollo Justice game.
    -Final Fantasy 3 remake
    -Final Fantasy 4 remake
    -Professor Layton
    -Chrono Trigger
    -The World Ends with You
    -FFT A2

    There's a bunch more out there, like Trauma Center and those kind of unique games that are worth your money

    YS 1&2, Fire Emblem, FF3 & 4, and Chrono Trigger are all really good.

    Soma Bringer
    WarioWare: Touched
    Tetris DS
    Final Fantasy IV
    Dragon Quest IV/V

    Would probably be my top 5, Soma Bringer is one of the most incredible games you'll ever play.

    Yet another vote for Soma Bringer (with Translation patch of course).
    New Super Mario Bros
    Jump Ultimate Stars (translated)
    Super Robot Taisen OG (translated for the impatient)
    Disgaea (if you missed it?)

    Currently I am playing Suikoden Tierkreis and Avalon Code and liking both so far. So far those are the only two games that have pulled me away from Soma Bringer. Can't wait for Black Sigil either, hoping it doesn't suck.

    Mario Kart of course, never really gets boring.
    The FF Tactics is also a great game.

    wait

    wiat wait wait

    A new Super Robot Taisen OG??? For the DS? (Or is it a remake? I only know of the 2 gba ones >_>)

    edit: er, wait, is this that new game that Atlus sent an email for a while back? The one that looks more like an action rpg instead of an srpg >_>

    I was referring to Mugen no Frontier: Super Robot Taisen OG Saga, which is coming out over here for DS in a month as Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier?

    Sorry... not really a fan of Super Robot Taisen until now... so can't really say which you might be thinking of.

    The translation patch was released for the JP version some time ago, and i would say it is 80-90% complete? System, names, info, script, etc. were mostly translated.

    I just didn't want to wait for the US release >.> Oh and yes, this would be the Action RPG one. It really isn't bad at all though, quite lengthy for a DS RPG.

    I got too much stuff in my plate right now so I'll just wait for the NA release, looking forward to it, kinda. The action rpg and not-srpg thing is a little bit of a turn off right now but, wont know until I play it

    Yeah, i can see how that might be the case for previous fans of the series. I do like it myself.

    Oh, and i forgot about Dokomodake. Just came out, and looks weird as hell but look fun to me.

    SRT OG Saga is fucking awesome, it's too short and repetitive after a while though, and I really wish each character have more than 1 finishing move.

    Suzuka-hime is such an awesome character~

    Speaking of Avalon Code, I seem to have gotten a bad rom or something as it won't get past the "loading" screen on my cycloDS. I downloaded 2 others, I guess I'll see how those work. How are you liking the game?

    those are usually the anti piracy, either upgrade your firmware or update your evocheat so you get the anti piracy code bypass

    I want to kill you people for suggesting A2.
    Wasted my time downloading that and giving it a shot due to suggestions... this game is ass.

    Better than the first one so far but such a disappointing SRPG experience, I'm going to go replay Vandal Hearts to wash off the filth.
