My DS collection is rather wee, but Metroid Prime Pinball comes very highly recommended, and ditto the New Super Mario Bros. suggestion.

Kirby: Canvas Curse.

Get Hotel Dusk for sure. Very unique game.
Resident Evil DS is a great port of the PSX original, with a cool, new mode that makes great use of the touch screen. Some cool touch screen puzzles, too.
Advance Wars and its sequel are highly recommended, great games. Very addictive.
Lunar Knights is a great game which proves Kojima Productions ain't all about Metal Gear.
Final Fantasy 3 + 4 are essential games, if you're a FF fan, of course.
Contra 4 - great game. Bit too hard, though.
Bomberman DS is great fun played with mates. You only need one cart to have up to 4 players battling it out. It works really well with the two screens, too. Batting bombs from one side to the other is Bomberman at its best IMO. I've played a lot of Bomberman games over the years and this is one of the best I've seen.

I'm quite found of Wario Ware Touched, Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League

If you've played any gameboy Mario game than New Super Mario Bros is not worth your time, it doesn't really build on those games just sticks to that formula and tacks on a touch screen gimmick of large and small mushrooms.

I'd recommend:

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Meteos

I respectfully beg to differ.

If you're referring to Super Mario Land 1 and 2, New Super Mario Bros. is far different. NSMB incorporates some of the best elements of Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 (and yes, even some of SML2 and a little bit of Mario 64), adds in some new ideas like the giant and tiny mushrooms and the shell suit, and tosses in more minigames and multiplayer stuff as well as Donkey Kong Country-style bonus coin collecting.

Aside from that, many of the enemies and most of the levels are very different from the Game Boy Mario games. They might be sticking to the same formula, but they've enhanced and refined the formula, throwing in some notable twists and turns along the way.

NSMB might seem familiar, but it's a comfortable kind of familiar. It may not be entirely revolutionary, but it's fun, and certainly creative at parts, and throws some new challenges at the player, so that makes it worth playing in my book.

Punch.

Jump.

... ow.


I have all but Ketsui Death Label, Cooking Mama and Trauma Center on my to-get list.
Still hesitant to get Meteos... puzzle games. Hmm.

New Mario Bros is on there with a ? but I'll probably end up getting it anyway.

Anyhow, do keep 'em comin'!
