Guys, I need some advice - despite being a "newbie", I'm more of a lurker (have been around for 900+ days, posting here and there, so please read this:
I'm out in the US for another week or so before returning home to the UK and have the opportunity to snap up a DS for $150 (about £75) with some cheap games. However, I'm not 100% keen on any of the games yet - is it worth getting the DS anyway in anticipation of Mario Kart and Zelda DS coming out (hopefully soon)? What games would you recommend? (I've always been a big mario fan and Wario Ware seems worth it - are they?)
I've just been reading about the WiFi plans for the DS, and the idea of being able to play Mario Kart online alone makes me want to get the DS this very second. Do any of you know if there may be problems using a US DS on any potential UK WiFi networks?
Also, as you can tell from my name, Zelda is my main staple requirement for videogame survival. I plan on getting The Minish Cap as it is (for only about £15) for use with my GBA - will I be able to play it on the DS (I presume so?)
Thanks in advance for your replies,

Wario Ware... 'Tis all you need.
I played through Minish Cap on my import US DS... games are much more crisp and the sound quality is better.

And Super Mario 64 DS. Great games. I've completed Wario Ware Touched! and it was fun, but Super Mario 64 is longer and has more replay value. Get both. Then wait for Mario Kart.

Advance Wars DS should be enough for anyone to contemplate getting a DS... roll on US Import!

Well it isn't long for those who have completed it before on the N64 as they have the advantage of knowing where to find all the original stars.

It would still take a lot longer than Wario Ware Touched and also, more stars have been added, as well as mini games.
Wario is great, definately worth a buy. Mario is brilliant as well, I'd buy it just for the minigames. Otherwise, buy Polarium if you like puzzlers and Feel the Magic if you like guys in bunny suits. All good stuff.
I would recommend you don't get SM64DS if you've already completed the original.
Get Wario Ware, Yoshi, FtM, Polarium.

you can use the touch screen. i am smart!!!! don't you think.
