Author: So, I got a Nintendo DS (Lite) for Christmas, with a couple of games.
So far, I like it. I even like playing GBA games on it better than on a GBA.
The Nintendo DS completes my (minimalist) collection of every Nintendo game system:
- NES
- Gameboy
- Gameboy Color
- SNES
- Virtual Boy
- N64
- GBA
- Gamecube
- Nintendo DS
- Wii
I think that’s the whole list. Not included are thins like the GBA SP, Pokemon N64, and various handhelds/game’n'watches/color TV games, but every distinct US platform is represented in my collection.
One can download demos via the Wii to a DS. This sounds like a cool feature, but in practice its somewhat crippled. Unlike, say, the Xbox 360, you can download one demo at a time. Which would be an acceptable limitation for a portable system, except that the demo just sorta floats in RAM, I guess, so once the DS is turned off, the demo goes away.
So. Anyone else have one? Give me some game recommendations. And not the obvious ones–more obscure the better. So far I have a couple of bargain bin games (Spyro and Time Ace). They aren’t terrible, but they aren’t outstanding either.

Might I recommend Spyro?
Well, I don’t have one, but Brittany and Austin both just got one…Austin got the special red Mario edition…he and especially Nick love the Super Mario game. Brittany likes the different Petz games, which is probably not your kind of game. She also has My Sims.

Drum along to classical music (and a bunch of japanese stuff)
You and your crazy moonspeak games. I did pick up Elite Beat Agents, however.
That’s a good one. Though,…

I totally thought that comic was just a joke, but it’s referring to an actual level in the game that completely blindsided me.
I don’t think you can claim to own all of the Nintendo systems until you buy a Nintendo 64DD.

read the fine print!
