DS Must Have - All Genres!

[Sano]

Alright, we covered the RPGs and I have a bunch I now have to beat. Lets kick off this thread with some DS games that are not RPG; such as Super Mario 64 DS.

Anyone suggest any other platformers, racers, simulators, etc.

[Exhuminator]

I'll list ten of my favorite non-JRPG games for DS. I'm listing games I've actually played and finished:

Brothers In Arms DS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_in_Arms_DS
A real time third person shooter that is actually a LOT of fun.

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Du ... endo_DS%29
Believe it or not, n-Space's COD games (5 total) on DS are competent polished FPS experiences.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevani ... f_Ecclesia
I've beaten every single "metroidvania" style Castlevania, and this is the best one not named Symphony Of The Night.

Ghost Trick
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Tric ... _Detective
One of the most unique adventure gamers ever, fantastic OST, amazing animation.

Mega Man ZX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_ZX
If you'd like a "metroidvania" style Mega Man, check this game out along with its sequel Mega Man ZX Advent.

Monster Tale
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Tale
If you put Mega Man, Pokemon, and Metroid in a blender and add a dash of cute...

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_Gaiden:_Dragon_Sword
Awesome graphics, awesome action, innovative controls.

Hotel Dusk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Dusk:_Room_215
The best adventure game I've ever played. Keep in mind there are other games made by the same developer (CiNG) for DS as well (Trace Memory, AGAIN: The Eye Of Providence, and The Last Window). All of CiNG's DS adventure games are well worth your time if you enjoy the genre.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Wr ... e_Attorney
This series is widely known and beloved for good reason, if you haven't played at least the first game you're hurting yourself.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauma_Cen ... _the_Knife
A wicked surgery sim by Atlus that kicked off one of the most under-appreciated series of all time.

All of that's just the tip of the iceberg, the DS is a beast!

Elite Beat Agents and Rhythm Heaven are two excellent rhythm games for the DS.

[SNESdrunk]

My favorites:

Elite Beat Agents - Best rhythm game for the DS
Plants vs. Zombies - Haven't played the other ports but I loved this, super addicting puzzle game

EDIT: I guess I should've read the post closer, no RPGs, d'oh!

Bomberman DS is also a lot of fun with some friends. It has single-cart download play for up to 8 people!

In no real order I recommend;
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime
The Legendary Starfy
Lunar Knights
Jump Super Stars
Rhythm Heaven
The Last Window The Secret of Cape West
