Natasha has a $50 gift certificate, so she has decided to buy a DS game for our move.

Give me suggestions!

    Im asumming you already know about everybodys old must have list so Im skipping to somthing newerish.

    Custom Robo DS is pretty damn good. It has robots and fighting what more can you want? (seriously though skip the story, its basically your "belive in the heart of teamwork to beat the bad guy" drek)

    I'm pretty sure that a farm simulation game is not exactly the best game to take ones mind off of miles and miles of endless corn fields as we drive through the boring part of the US.

    Definitely get Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. You will have to play Aria of Sorrow first though.

    Also either Pheonix Wright game.

    I rather liked Lost Magic, but it doesn't have a whole lot of replay value. Really fun game, though.

    Yeah seriously. Out of the 2 people I know who have Yoshi's Island, they both hate it to hell.

    Every time I see them playing it they get so pissed off

    So far these are the games that Natasha has beaten to date:

    Kirby: Canvas Curse
    Kirby: Squeek Squad
    Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door


    So, I'm thinking Mario and Luigi would be a good one.

    The game is all "Okay, this is a stage where the sreen is moving. A bit tricky, but not that hard. So, you nearly completed it and strangely there weren't any restart points (whatever they are caller). Look, if you go there, you can get a flower. Just go and get it. Cool, now jump back. OH FUCKING WAIT, YOU CAN'T JUMP THAT HIGH BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE WRONG CHARACTER WELL ASSHOLE BETTER PICK THE RIGHT CHARACTER AT THE FUCKING BEGINNING OF THIS LEVEL NEXT TIME OR YOU JUST SHOOT EGGS AT THE FLOWER BUT NO WAIT YOU DON'T GET ANY FUCKING EGGS IN THIS LEVEL SUCK IT ASSHOLE".

    Or "Okay, you don't see any ground but the only thing you can do is jump. Better jump as far as you can, just to be sure. Okay, looks good, just a bit more HAHAHAHA YOU JUMPED TOO FAR AND MISSED THE GODDAMN PLATFORM THAT'S TOO SMALL FOR YOU TO EVEN STAND ON IT AND WHERE MILLIONS OF ENEMYS RUNNING AROUND".

    Not to forget "Jump now to get on that there. Here we go IDIOT YOU JUMPED DIRECTLY INTO THAT ENEMY THAT WASN'T EVEN HERE BEFORE YOU JUMPED NOW PLAY THE WHOLE FUCKING LEVEL AGAIN".

    of my DS games (granted I haven't bought any in about a year) Advanced Wars has gotten the most playtime by FAR, followed by Dawn of Sorrow.

    I agree but some of those extended missions are so fucking hard that I had to put it down eventually. I could only beat like 30% of the game outside the story.

    I really wish I had someone to play with back when I got it.

    I'm not sure if Advanced Wars is right for Natasha.

    She likes relatively easy, cute/funny games. I mean, she really only started playing video games about a year ago. Aside from Tetris, that is.
