Looks like a lot of people have them so I figured starting a thread for them and their games would probably work out well.

My brother has left his DS with us so Hol and I have got to use the WiFi capabilities... and they're hot.  Like seriously hot.  Some of the games are set up so you only need one cart for both people to play on.  We've been entertaining ourselves with the minigames in the New Super Mario game and with the courses in Mario Kart DS.

So what do you play?  I know there was an Animal Crossing Wild World thread around before.  Any other favorites?

Can anyone get the bloody WiFi to work online (still no luck with that here)?

Metroid Prime Hunters is a damn fine game.  Seriously, it's well worth it, if you were a fan of the first two.  A bit short, mind you, and the good ending is such a bitch to figure out I had to go online for it, but still a solid game.  If you go online with it, though, prepare to get a bunch of people raping you up the ass because you're an easy kill.  Seriously, no one understands how to win in a sportsman-like fashion.

Tetris DS is another one that's kick-ass.  Tetris online is amazing.  One of the few games where it's hard to be a complete prick (except for those jackasses who bail from a game when it's obvious they're about to lose).

Animal Crossing... well, just read the thread.  Great game.

Final Fantasy 3 is fantastic.  I've onlylogged in a few hours and I'm already quite hooked.

If you like Castlevania, the two for the DS (Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin) are definitely worth picking up.  I've got 'em both.  Love 'em.

New Super Mario Brothers is great.  I just wish it was online capable.

Brain Age is well worth picking up.  It's odd playing something that makes your brain work and it actually being fun.

Nintendogs is really fucking neat, showcases fabulously what the system is capable of, utterly heartachingly cute and adorable... and gets old fast.

As for getting online... I've got the Nintendo USB WiFi adaptor.  I just download the latest software from nintendowifi.com and go from there.  Just gotta configure each game first before you can go online with it, but that takes a few seconds on the outside.  Oddly enough, the USB adaptor works fine on my computer, but not at all on my girlfriend's computer.  Weird, because it used to work perfectly on both.

I've been meaning to pick up Mario Kart DS for a while now.  I wouldn't mind some friendly competition (on that or any of the games I've got, for that matter) with people who aren't complete asswipes.

Elite Beat Agents is really really really fucking fun.

Brain Age is really cool, though it's only about 20 minutes a day of gameplay, so it isn't really a game game, just kind of a really cool toy. Though I've been playing for a week now, and it actually seems to be making a difference, so...

I agree with Valdrin about New Super Mario and Nintendogs.

I've only played about 15 minutes of Children of Mana, but I thought it was pretty fun. I was never a huge fan of the Mana series though.

Goo and I use the demo download all over my apartment! But I hadn't thought of trying it in the store... ooooooooooh... thanks for the good idea ben... the people at the game stores are gonna haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate you.

Right now I'm in love with elite beat agents in a super hardcore way. I thought I wouldn't overly like it.

I'm ignoring Children of Manna cos it takes WAY to long to get started... walk around and do my chores... bah... why role play chores when I can do LAUNDRY!

Yeah, Ash, my girlfriend and I have had that problem.

I just stopped using the voice-recognition feature with the game, for the main reason that every time we'd use it, it would end up with our cat climbing all over us and getting in the way.  Apparently the minou doesn't like it when we talk to the DS.

Also, Sinic: I can't see them releasing yet another version of the DS just because the Wii came out.  The DS-lite is less than a year old, after all, it'd be foolish for them to release a new one right now.  I think it'll be a little while yet before we see another model get released, if it even happens.

And, once I get that new job, Elite Beat Agents will be MINE... MWA HA HA HA HA!... after I get a Wii.  Maybe.  Crap!  Stupid gaming priorities getting mixed up.

So according to the people at EB evidently there's been some sort of hardware problem which has led to the current DS shortage.  Anyone know any more about this?

Children of Mana is pretty fun if you can wing a couple of extra people to dungeoncrawl with, otherwise it can get fairly boring pretty easy.  There's next to no worthwhile story at all (I'm not kidding when I tell you I find the story to the significant sidequest much more involving than the main storyline), and the magic system is pretty much unnecessary, much like all the other Mana games.

Still, it's fun.

I highly, highly recommend Clubhouse Games.  It's not the normal kind of thing I'd consider for a gaming console, except it allows for up to 7 other players with downloadable content on every game, which is hardcore rad.  It's a really polished cartridge, haven't found anything to complain about at all.

We have Clubhouse, and it really is quite an incredible (and almost unknown) game. Don't know about the voice chat thing, haven't tried that.

YES ELITE BEAT AGENTS I LOVE YOU.

"September" is the most fun so far. 

Haven't heard anything about mic usage, since I've only done download-play on it.

But the chatroom option really is pretty cool.  There's a little button at the bottom of the screen you can press to switch to the chat room, and then press again to revert back to the game you're playing.  Gives you something to do if you're opponent is taking a really long time.  It's kinda rewarding to find a zombie invasion waiting for you in the chatroom after a few minutes of chess maneuvering.
