    What game should I get? There are so many out there, but don't know...
    Here is a list of what I have:
    -Mario Party DS
    -Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    -Sonic Rush
    -Nintendogs
    -Mario Hoops 3-on-3
    -Super Mario 64 DS

    As you can tell, I am a Mario guy, but I'm looking for a game different than Mario games. Plz help me look for something different, I need ideas!
     
    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, that's for sure. I'm sure you know all about it.
    LoZ Phantom Hourglass is good too, as well as Mario Kart DS. Racing on Wi-fi is awesome.
    You should buy those when you get the chance, imo.

    Sorry for the vauge advice. it's hard to think of anything else. :<
     
    well,i think u should get MarioKart DS because it's great and has wi-fi.
    but the down side is that there's not too much to unlock.but it's great!whatever

    or u could get this thing called an R4DS if you've ever heard of it.
    it's this device that lets u put games on it for the DS.u can also put sum other systems too.
    i haz a hard time finding some good DS games.i hope you finally find something you like.DS rules.
     
    Mario Kart DS
    Phantom Hourglass
    Pokemon Diamond & Pearl

    So many DS Games..... I don't know....
     
    I'd highly recommend the "Phoenix Wright" games. They're defiantly some of the most unique games out there, and pretty addictive. I didn't think much of them when I just read the back of the case, but a couple of other people convinced me to spend the $15 USD and just buy it, and I'm glad I did <3

    Another good game I didn't see on your list is "Elite Beat Agents", It's a rhythm game that's all pretty fun, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like some of the more modern songs out there. It also might be harder to find, but I'd say it's worth ordering it off Amazon or something.

    And there is always "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass", which is of course, the sequel to "The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker". As with most Zelda games, it's very fun and original. Buuut, it might not make much sense if you haven't played Wind Waker.

    Anyway, I hope that helped some \o
     
    'Lunar Knights' is a pretty good action/adventure-type game, in my opinion. The isometric view gets a bit frustrating at times, but it has an interesting in-game weather-system which affects the strengths of some of your attacks, or your ability to recover energy (one character can only recover when there is sunlight, and the other when there is moonlight).

    'Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime' is a good pick-up-and-play game. Though the lack of touch screen controls, the short game length, and the overly annoying puns (it's funny at first, but it gets tiresome later in the game) may bring it down a bit, it's still an entertaining game. The tank battles are fun, and having to pick the best ammo to use in your tank adds that little bit of strategy (well, not really xD). The gameplay mechanic is pretty cool, too: you fling yourself at enemies/amunition/friends/whatever, and you carry them on your back, either to launch in your tank, or back to town, or whatever. I can't really explain it, but it's a fun game nonetheless xD

    Er, yeah o__o I hope that helped, or something.
     
    Mario Kart DS
    Phantom of the Hourglass
    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
    Phoenix Wright
    Lunar Knights
    Sonic Rush Adventure
    Elite Beat Agents
    Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

    I've searched them up and found info on these games, they all sound interesting to play. I really don't feel like getting a Sonic game, since I already understand Rush Adventure.

    They all sound pretty cool, but the ones on the top of my list right now are:
    -Mario Kart DS
    -Phoenix Wright
    -Lunar Knights
    -Diamond/Pearl
    -Elite Beat Agents
    -Phantom of the Hourglass

    If anyone has any other ideas or highly recommend any of the above games, please feel free to post! You've all helped a lot so far!
     
    -Mario Kart DS
    -Phoenix Wright
    -Lunar Knights
    -Diamond/Pearl
    -Elite Beat Agents
    -Phantom of the Hourglass

    The bold ones are the ones that I've played/owned. For Mario Kart DS, although it's a good game, I think it's a bit too late to play it. All the good players have left Wifi and now it's filled with hackers and snakers.

    Lunar Knights is a wonderful rpg that I recommend. It can get a bit 'button smashy' at times, but the majority of the game requires some sort of skill. The only real problem I saw was that you play with two different character that BOTH play a major part at some point, so if you don't train them equally, said parts will be pretty hard.

    For Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, the old motto "if you played one, you've played them all" doesn't really fit. Although the concept is the same, this was obviously the best of all the Pokemon games. The Wifi system is great, the GTS is okay, the graphics are great for a Pokemon game, and last but not least, IT'S A POKEMON GAME! XD Who doesn't love Pokemon?

    And finally, The Phantom Hourglass is also a wonderful game. The graphics are sweet for a DS game and it's pretty lengthy. The puzzles are fun, the fighting is interactive and the characters are great. They give you a short intro in the beginning so you don't HAVE to play windwaker (I didn't and I enjoyed it). The biggest set back though is this dungeon that you have to go to about 5 times in the game and it just gets longer and harder, and for the first four times, the monsters there are unbeatable. But hey, if you're in to stealthy games, go for it.

    On a side note, I recommend Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue for the DS. An incredible spin-off from the usual Pokemon games and it actually has an enticing storyline. Not to mention the sequel come s out in a week!
     
    I'll tell you this from my own experience. You need to URGENTLY get Elite Beat Agents. No excuses. Seriously, that might possibly be the best and most entertaining game for the DS, from start to finish.

    I also recommend Animal Crossing: Wild World, seeing as it'll get you addicted for months.
     
    Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
    Bleach: [The] Blade of Fate
    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
    Elite Beat Agents
    Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
    [The] Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
    Mario Kart DS
    New Super Mario Bros.
    Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
    Pokemon: Diamond/Pearl
    [The] World Ends With You

    Pretty much a summary of what everyone else already stated, along with some they neglected to mention.

    You could always enjoy it with your friends in real-life?
