Hey I have a serious problem. I have a surplus of time and a deficite of good NDS games to play

Just to save wasted effort I have played and enjoyed

Prof. Layton
Zelda Wind Waker
Anything with megaman in the title (starforce kinda meh though)
Pokemon Plat.
Pheonix Wright Series
Wario Ware

I'm not sure if the list shows it or not but I'm a fan of Platforms and Puzzlers RPG elements are a plus and the higher the difficulty the better (untill it gets stupid)

Thanks guys!

*note most Jrpgs will put me to sleep :)

    Puyo Pop Fever is the best puzzler, if you can find it.

    Eight player multi, one cart. Even Slash missed it.

    Get Picross DS. Best puzzle game ever. I've been playing it on and off for two years, and I'm still not done.

    There's a 3D one coming out later this year, too, which is supposed to be great.

    Yeppers. Incredible deal (especially because you'll probably be able to find it for 5 bucks or so) if you can get your hands on one.

    Advance Wars: Dual Strike is basically a puzzle game with RPG elements. I highly recommend it.

    I liked Advance Wars: Days of Ruin more than the Dual Strike variant. About same gameplay for both though.

    Bangai-O spirits is a lot of fun. A little bit of puzzling in finding the right weapon combinations and difficulty.
    Perhaps try out other zelda (GBA games) like minish cap and so on.

    Dementium: The Ward- Cross between survival horror and FPS. Very nicely done.

    Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword- Possibly the best DS game out there right now. The control are excellent and the action is fun

    Moon- Really good FPS.

    Contra 4- Great side-scrolling shoot-em-up that may challenge you to the fullest.

    Hotel Dusk- Great mystery game that involves some interesting puzzle solving and a good story.

    Also if you haven't played it yet and like RPGs...

    Chrono Trigger DS- Great RPG with a fun combat system, awesome music, and great story.

    Castlevania could soak up a big chunk of that free time if you're a completionist (or even if you aren't, especially compared to other DS games.)

    The World Ends With You has rpg elements to it but in terms of gameplay is much more fast-paced and unique. This is assuming you can stomach the brooding, emo protagonist.

    Well I knew this was the right place to ask ^_^. I'm not sure what I'm getting yet mostly because of too many options.

    As a side note I'm not really a fan of puzzle quest type puzzling. I'm more into logic puzzles (not really sure what to call them, more prof layton though.) Unless im doing puzzle quest wrong?

    Puzzle Quest is a terrible suggestion for a puzzle game. a) It's Bejeweled and b) the AI cheats like a madman.

    As far as logic puzzles go, I'm a big fan of Slitherlink.

    I'm playing Rhythm Heaven right now and enjoying it. A tiny singing sperm greets you at the file select screen, you chop up vegetables as a ninja dog, there's a love factory where you earn points by 'making love', you seduce a male lizard with a maraca for a tail, and you rock out with your cock out in a band made up of ghosts. And then you play the mini games over and over again until you get a perfect score.

    When you have 60 games, is the system and library still portable? :P

    The system is, but the library definitely is not. Then again, there's really no need to have all my games with me at once. I have a carrying case that holds 3 carts and that's plenty.

    Chrono Trigger, Moon, and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin come highly recommended. I haven't played these yet, but I'm also planning on getting N+ and Yoshi's Island DS, which I've heard fantastic things about.

    No one yet recommends GTA: Chinatown Wars? I must've put in nearly 100 hours into that game and I have no intention of stopping now.

    Too bad you don't like JRPG's because the DS is arguably the system for JRPG's right now. So with so many good ones, there could be a few that could change your mind. Knights in the Nightmare and The World Ends With You are pretty unique takes on the JRPG, with an emphasis on action. There are a few good dungeon crawlers and roguelikes too.

    Oh, and get Mario 64 DS.

    I was a big fan of FFT, Maby its just b/c I'm older but I find the new one to be a bit easy. I will check out Knights Knights in the Knightmare since I liked world ends with you . Played the hell out of crono trigger as a kid so no need (still has ps1 disk) Thanks for all the replys I got a long list now :)

    Once you get a good team, there really isn't that much strategy to most of the fights, just move near the enemy and spam aurablast. It's an excellent time-waster, though.

    Edit: I'm not sure if I would recommend Knights in the Knightmare. It's interesting, but it's also really slow, both in plot and gameplay. I played it on easy, though, so maybe Normal feels better.
