Post by **Crabmaster2000** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:58 pm

Shes going to be in the hospital for a bit and we're looking for some games to pass the time. Preferably multiplayer games but if its a good single player game she'll enjoy thanks fine too. Here are some of her favs right now:
Trace Memory
Hotel Dusk
Mario Party DS
New Super Mario Bros (just for the minigames though)
Mario Kart DS

I got Feel the Magic XX/XY for her cause I think she'll really enjoy that one. We got Touch Detective cause its kinda similar to Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk but neither of us really like that one. Anyway please throw out some recommendations and try to remember that we are on a budget so the cheaper the better. Thanks guys.

Try Elite Beat Agents, in my experience girls have liked that

If you like adventure games like Hotel Dusk, I'm going to throw out my recommendation for the Phoenix Wright games. It is the best attorney simulator that I have ever played. What sweetens the deal even more is that the first three titles can be found for less than $20 at most online retailers.

Don't forget Apollo Justice!

Animal Crossing is a fave of my girlfriend's

My mum enjoys 42 all-time classics. (I think it's called something else in 'merkin land.)

Sorry for the slow response. Thanks for your input everyone. There were some really good ideas in there.

@ Racketboy - The one with the board games you mentioned might do the trick. We love playing board games to and it would be nice to be able to play on the go without any mess/cleanup. If only they'd release Settlers of Catan on the DS. Ill also check into Diner Dash because I havnt even heard of that one. And I own half of the games on the Budget list you posted and dont think the other half would appeal to my wife. Thanks though.

@devilmyarse - I dont know why I didnt think about Animal Crossing because she really used to like the Gamecube version. Thanks for the reminder. And the only "classic" game i've been able to get her to play with me is Bubble Bobble. Shes just not very old school when it comes to gaming.

@dig - Did you read anything after the title of the thread? Anyway we own a Phoenix Wright game and wrapped it and have no desire to endure another one.

@Pullmyfinger - Im kinda on the fence about Elite Beat Agents. I've heard lots of great recommendations for the game and I think i'd like it a lot, but i've explained it to my wife and shes really not that keen on it. I think she might like it but its getting her to try it out initially that will be difficult. Maybe if I see it for super cheap ill grab one.

Clubhouse Games is killer if you have more than one DS. Playing wireless with one card is easy and addicting
Diner Dash also has a PC port and I think a Flash version online. You may want to try out a demo first to see if you like it.
