I Got a Nintendo DS for Christmas, What Now?

Hey duders,

the wife was super awesome and got me a Nintendo DS for Christmas

a kick ass red one

nintendo-ds_476x357.jpg

I got 4 games along with it:

Brain Age 1
Club House Games (42 different games like black jack, billiards, darts, etc.)
Mario Kart DS
Super Mario 64 DS


Now I turn to the more experienced DS'ers here to tell me what else is essential to my personal gaming experience. Is there any type of equipment that you find neccesary for your DS?

Also, I guess once we run out of suggestions, you guys can keep talking about all the glorius good times you've had that involve a DS.

Help a brother out.

    You'll like it if you are into Japanese RPGs. It's one of the best.

    Gameplay is split between a slightly adventure style "Investigation" section, where evidence is found and witnesses are talked too, and straight up court room battles. Alternates between them about three times each case (Once per ingame day)

    Gameplay can be boiled down to find object, present object to person at right time. But damn, it has style

    yeah, it's like an humourous adventure game really, but the real fun comes from court

    working out whodunnit, exposing their gradually more haphazardly constructed lies, they begin to sweat as you bring out more and more damning evidence and the prosecutor gets all flustered

    Yeah I want to pick that one up too. Honestly there have been about 5 or 6 DS games to come out this year I just haven't been able to afford. It sucks.

    In terms of medical science or whatever? Not very

    After like two or three real operations it turns into magic and science-fiction bugs crawling in people and gets hard as fuck

    They use the correct words where it is needed, but it's not going to be photo-realistic. Which is good because the actual insides of a human body is pretty disgusting
