Are Nintendo DS's worth the money?

JohnnyFoxDarko · 03-18-2007, 06:19 PM

Because I'm thinking about getting one...
Also, could you recommend me some titles?

It's more than worth the money. As for games, I'll list what I own and bold the ones I think are awesome and put an X beside the ones you should avoid at all costs. The left-overs range from decent to good.

Super Mario 64 DS
New Super Mario Bros.
WarioWare: Touched!
Kirby Canvas Curse
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Big Brain Academy X
Elite Beat Agents
Cooking Mama
Yoshi's Island DS
Mario Kart DS
Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Mini's
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Diddy Kong Racing DS
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Star Fox Assault
Sonic Rush
Feel the Magic
The Rub Rabbits
Pac-Pix
Digimon World DS
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Spyro: A New Beginning XXXXXX

And of course, the DS has some great stuff on the horizon too, so it's well worth the money. Best portable on the market.

I sold my DS, but that was because I realized I wasn't very into handheld gaming. When I did have it, it was durable and the multiplayer was fun. Pictochat was always good for a laugh with your friends.

So I'd say if you dig handheld gaming then go for it, and by the looks of things you do if your interested.

Like I say in all of these threads, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Advance Wars DS and both Castlevanias are solid buys, and those are just the few games I've played. Super Mario 64 DS is also a must if you've never played the N64 original. If you're looking for a handheld, you can't really go wrong with the DS, especially since it also plays GBA games.

Yea, I was never into handheld gaming, but the DS changed all of that...Mario Kart, the NSMB, and Castlevania games are all solid choices...and there are so many games I still wanna get...

*Mr. Snackpants* · 03-18-2007, 07:31 PM

I sure think so. There have been so many good games listed and more to come. Plus, a huge library of GBA games. I'll be getting one soon (for my b-day, so its not my money...but still).

*shrug* I've rather enjoyed BBA. It's a fun (and cute) game.

Ok, so I have 3 choices. :
Get a Nintendo DS off of Ebay for around 90-100 bucks.
Pre Order Guitar Hero 2 for the XBox 360 for around the same price.
or buy Dance Dance Universe for the 360 for about 10 dollars cheaper.

Hmm...
Hard decision. :[
I'm leaning towards the Guitar Hero 2 though.

If you don't own any version of Guitar Hero, get Guitar Hero. Take DDR: Universe off your list. Worst DDR game I've ever played.

You're just mad because the pad was too small and you kept messing up. ^_^

And yes, get Guitar Hero for sure, if you don't have it. That game keeps you entertained for hours, and it's a great party game.

JohnnyFoxDarko · 03-25-2007, 08:32 AM

I don't have a guitar hero game, but I play it often with my friends on their PS2.
So much that sometimes I get bored of it.

JohnnyFoxDarko · 03-27-2007, 10:23 PM

In case anyone is wondering (which I'm sure no one really is...) I got the DS.
Digimon World DS here I come!

WOO HOO! Digimon World DS is tight! I never played a game so much on my DS. I've got well over 40 hours put into it.
