Which game?
 
I want to have game of infinte replay value for my DSlite (I hope to get a 3DS, so inculde those games)...
I'd REALLY like recommedations...

Here's a list to explian exactly what I want in a game:
(I know I've misspelled some stuff, but I hope all y'all know what I mean anyways...)

1.
Fighting & Racing games are good choices, as long as the difficulty is adjustable to being easy to VERY hard & in between. From what my cousin told me, fighting is the WORSE genre for the DS... but I'm hoping that someone here knows of at least 1 good fighting game...

NOT Clay Fighters! I'd never enjoy it fully because of how ugly they make the charaters look!

& My cousin told me that Street Fighter 4 for the PS3 & Xbox 360 have poor controls, that it was harder than it should be to use special moves... but I'm hoping the 3DS version will have better controls, so could someone up-date me on it when possible?

& my cousin told me about a game called Track Mania, I think... he says it's awesome since you get to make your own tracks & I don't remember if he said anything about how hard it is... I hoping that it's harder than Mario kart DS... (take that off the list of games I want!)

2.
I belive we all know that we will NEVER stop finding stuff to try on pokemon, but I already have some of those games & plan to get White version.

But there one other RPG I have interest in: Dragon Quest (don't remember the number): Sentenils of the starry skies.
I wonder if this game will encourage the same kind of expermentation we see on pokemon, in trying differnt classes, weapons & armory? I know it has something about randomly generated dungeon, that you can save to share with friends... & the multiplayer apect looks very interesting too...

& are there any other mystery dungeon that are good? The ones I heard about so far, (Shinen the Wanderer & Izuna) they say that they are very hard... but are they hard in a enjoyable way, or should I stick to Pokemon mystery dungeon? & is there a different mystery dungeon game you guys would recommed? & what other RPG would you guys recommend for replay value? (avoid stuff like Fire Emblem & Shining Force, because I have a non-enjoyable hard time of trying to pick who to add to my army...)

3.
I'd LOVE to find an action/platformer that has infinte replay value somehow... for this, I have my eyes on Kingdom Hearts Re:coded...
In my Nintendo power magazine, it says that you can play levels all over again... but I wonder if I'll still find doing them a challenge...

I plan to get the Megaman Zero collection, because I've played the games & know that you get to play though the story again with everything you gotten so far. I know it'll have a easy mode added, but will they add a mode for super players, should I get that good? any other action/platformer you guys would recommed for replay value?

1. For fighting games, the Bleach games (Blade of Fate and Dark Souls) are actually considered some of the best fighters on the DS, second to only the Jump! games, which were only released in Japan. I have Blade of Fate, and it's actually a really good 2D fighter - granted, I'm a fan of Bleach, but I can see even a non-fan enjoying it as long as you like fighting games.

2. I haven't played DQ9, but I've heard of a lot of people who've put hundreds of hours into it, so I would imagine if it's the type of game you like, it'd be worth a buy.

As far as RPGs, The World Ends with You is the best RPG on the system, imo, and one of the best JRPGs ever released. There's a huge learning curve at the beginning, and you might absolutely hate it at first, but once you learn the mechanics it's a blast. And there's a ton of stuff to do like pin collecting and whatnot, so it should last a while.

3. I wouldn't recommend any of the DS Kingdom Hearts games until you've played through the original KH and KH2, plus Re: Chain of Memories. The franchise has an impossibly convoluted story that you can only understand if you play all the games in the order they're meant to be played (and even then it's wtf-ish). 358/2 Days isn't that great of a KH game, but if you're looking for replay value there are a lot of mission challenges and such that will let you replay missions to achieve certain goals. But again, I highly recommend playing the other games first.

1. there aren't that many good fighting games on the ds so i will just say stick to the ones that Morkula said. bleach is admitedly pretty fun even though i hate the anime series. and if you can get your hands on the jump ultimate stars, do so as that is definately the greatest fighter on the ds.

as for the 3ds i would say look out for ssfiv and doa dimensions. ssfiv is definatelly looking like a winner with all 35 characters from the console version plus the addition of trophies. doa is looking pretty nice but you'll need to wait for more information as they havent really shown much so far.

2. i don't know much about rpgs as i've only just started getting into them, but from what i've played of dragon quest ix, it is pretty fun and would keep you entertained for many hours.

level 5 are making a couple of rpgs for the 3ds called "fantasy life" and "time travelers". They are both looking pretty impressive stylishly but again you'll still need to wait for more information.

3. the mode in megaman zero where you have everything is the easy mode. i dont think there is a hard mode but its pretty much 4 games in one so it should contain many hours.
i would also recommend castlevania order of ecclesia. it is pretty hard and although it will only take you about 20 hours to complete, there is a hard mode which would make up for another 20-30 hours, unless your uber awesome at platformers.
