[d2king10]

Hey guys, ive been having a hard time deciding if i should get a psp or ds, and ive decided that ds is the cheapest and probly has more games ill like.

So i need some help guys, i keep hearing that DS Lite is hard to do diagnals, so should i get a normal ds ro get a lite? Here are some games im interested in, so can you guys tell me what you think of them:
-Lost in blue
-Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney
-New Super Mario Bros.
-Super Mario 64 DS
-Lost Magic (looks great)
-Zelda: Minish Cap
Could you guys also recommend me some games that i might want to check out?

minish cap (a GBA game) is extremely short. you can get through it in a day if you try.

Kirby Canvas Curse
It's one of the best examples of what the DS can do.

Get a DS Lite.

Lost in Blue, never tried heard it sucked.

Phoenix Wright is awesome. If you can even find it. But it's probably worth the hunt.

New Super Mario Bros is great.

Mario 64 DS is supposed to be hard to control.

Lost Magic looks dull.

Zelda: Minish Cap is great but it's GBA anyway.

DS games I recommend: Kirby Canvas Curse, Res Evil DS, Mario Kart DS and Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow.

I say get a Lite but I haven't played a Lite yet so I don't know about the diagonal thing. Overall even the people who have an issue with the diagonal or something else still say it's better if just for the improved brightness.

I'd also recommend Trauma Center if you want a game built around the touch screen, Advance Wars if you like strategy, and maybe Resident Evil. I don't really know your gaming preferences but you have a pretty good list going already. And don't forget about GBA games too.

-Lost in blue - fun, but might not be everybodys cup of tea
-Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney - good luck finding it! but yeah, it's awesome.
-New Super Mario Bros. - is supposed to be awesome. didn't cook my bacon, but i only played it for a short while.
-Super Mario 64 DS - yeah sure fun, but not what i'd buy for my first or only ds game
-Lost Magic (looks great) - no idea. never played it.



there's other awesome games. trauma center, animal crossing, mario kart, nintendogs(also one i would not suggest for being your only game) and metroid.



there's some others. if you have tons of cash, psp is also fun.

Mario 64 DS is supposed to be hard to control

It is if you want to use a stylus. there's a stylus-free control scheme that works great.

Yeah, the screen's incredible. And the overall comfort level is much higher than the normal one. It's lighter (as in weight) and the buttons are better.

The touch-screen is not a good substitute for analog movement.

Re: Getting a DS - comments

I will get a DS Lite, too.

Re: Getting a DS - comments

If you get Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow you will have a very good time. If you do not, you will be sorry.

The old DS is $30 cheaper. You could buy another game with that. I suggest you go to a store with a display unit and try it out for yourself.

Zelda The Minish Cap is awesome. It's not really short. It's no shorter than Lttp.

New Super Mario Bros - Best game on the DS. GOTY.

Super Mario 64 - Total crap. Stay clear of this POS.

I think you should consider Castlevania DOS, Mario Kart, Tetris, and Advance Wars DS along with New Super Mario Bros.
