Finally!

[PB Troy]

Ok, I finally bought a Nintendo DS ( I felt like I was the only one who hadn't) along which I purchased Tetris DS, Age of Empires, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 and Hotel Dusk Room 215.  Note; I only bought games that use the stylus function a majority of the game.  Are there any games I overlooked I'm still looking to get 2 more.

If you are looking for games that use the stylus primarily, "Elite Beat Agents", "Trauma Center: Under the Knife", and "Kirby's Canvas Curse" are practically required.

If you're looking for a good cheap stylus game, go for Pac 'n Roll. I also second all of m0zart's suggestions.

You might try Brain Age or Big Brain Academy. I have Clubhouse games, and it is decent time waster game, but some games were very cleary rushed. And the music really stinks.

 And please, post your impressions on Age of Empires and Hotel Dusk. Those are a couple of games I might not mind buying.

If you are even mildly interested in castlevania, you must own Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow.  Its the greatest castlevania game ever to be released in America. (can't comment on Dracula X cant get a Turbografx emulator to work, and I don't feel like payings millions for the game on ebay  )  That's probably my favorite game on the DS.   Portrait of ruin is pretty good also, but it has some boring levels.

 

If you like Mario 64- you need to get its remake for the DS as they added a ton of new content to it - you can use the stylus to control mario and it works pretty good.

 

Metroid Prime Pinball is my favorite pinball game, ever.   it uses the stylus to tilt the machine, and that works pretty well.  It has awesome levels, and comes with a rumble pack. Its also pretty cheap.

 

 

Kirby's Canvas Curse -  This is a platformer that uses nothing but the stylus.  It has awesome levels, and is the best kirby game ever.  You must pick it up.

 

Mario Kart DS -   Doesn't use stylus, but it is a great Mario Kart game with tons of great levels and online play!!!

Brain Age is fun, but the game is so boring after about oh say, 6 months. I've been playing that game for quite a while now.

I always found Castlevania games to be slow and Dante (or whatever main character) didn't have much movement and jumped stiff...maybe that was just me.  Mario 64 DS I forgot about that one...I'm torn between the new super mario bros. and that one though...

If you got 6 months out of Brain Age, I would say that you definitely got your money's worth, considering it's only 20 bucks.  I've played many more expensive games that get boring after 6 minutes.

There are different main characters in Castlevania games, but none of them are named Dante; that's the protagonist in Devil May Cry. The stiff jumping hasn't been around for a while. You have full control over your jumps in all post Symphony of the Night Castlevania games. The character does still move pretty slowly, but if you beat Portrait of Ruin you unlock a faster character.

If you find yourself liking Hotel Dusk (I'm really looking forward to picking that one up myself, actually) than you should check out Phoenix Wright (both of em'.).

 

And, for all things good, get New Super Mario Bros.! It may not use the stylus, but its one of the best titles released in 2006.

 

I also really enjoyed Advance Wars Dual Strike.
