Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[Road Trip On] Best DS multiplayer?

Doing a cross-country road trip and all three people in the car have a DS.
We've all got Tetris and Mario Kart, the foundation of any good time, but these games are a little long in the tooth and I'm wondering if there's something more recent that I've missed. Variety is always nice.
Prefer games that appeal to anyone and don't require a lot of skill or have a huge learning curve. But if there's something awesome enough, feel free to mention it.
Can be either single cart or multi cart play.

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
Anyone got a feel for Space Invaders Extreme? Couldn't dig up a review that gave a solid impression of the multiplayer.
Also considering GTA:Chinatown. Just because the GF loves smashing cars.
Welcome to the world on this side.
Also, if you don't mind it only being 2-player, Contra 4. It's utterly badass, and the series was made for co-op.
Star Fox Command is a pretty mediocre single-player game, but multiplayer dogfights are pretty fun.

(Basically starts at :30...)
It has single cart multiplayer (both download and single system passing) but every 3-5 games you'll get desynced with each other which will ruin the game. Sucks but it's worth it anyway due to how fun it is!
Seriously it's amazing.

If the answer's "not a lot", you can always bust out Dokapon Journey. Single-cart play, too.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!

Also fun to just watch/listen to.
I did get Ninja Town because TRU had it for $10.. and why not?
Mario Party sounds like a grand choice given the single cart requirements. That's an enterprise I can get behind!
My contribution: Advance wars. Single cart play, will kill hours.
Worms is fairly old by now, I bought it from Amazon.

PM if you add me!
Requires a cart and a GBA (DS doesn't do link cable play) and a link cable per player so unlikely to be scrounged together unless you're putting in a lot of effort. That said the gameplay is golden multiplay hilarity with the perfect mix of co-operation and competition.
