"Remember me?"

I got my DS with Mario 64 on... whatever day it was last week (Thursday, I think), and I have Feel the Magic: XY/XX ordered too, which should arrive by the end of the week. I want to have a shoofty on the net for more websites that I can import games from. I know of lik-sang.com and videogamesplus.ca but that's about it. And all my google, MSN and other web browser searches bring up diddly-squat, save for articles about importing games along with completely unrelated stuff (such is the wonder of web search engines).

Help me out, please.

Oh, and I only want US games... no Japanese malarkey, as I have this funny thing about wanting to understand the games I play.

Cheers.

Mario 64 DS is excellent. Feel the Magic's length all depends on how easy you find the mini-games (I'm completely s**tuck on it at the moment) and Ridge Racer DS is a competent racing game; far better than some of the sh*t I've played on home consoles.

That's like saying Goldeneye > All GBA Games!!!

Nobody is denying that the DS is seriously lacking a few more good launch games. But Mario 64 DS seems to show that this console has got some VERY exciting months ahead.

It's an okay game, and I suppose it could have potential in multiplayer.

You only unlock bonus clothes for the girl. I don't have ane GBA Sega games so can't try it though. Not that it's anything worth the effort anyway :D

You guys who have Ridge Racers - any good? don't want to buy it unless genuinely recommended - Asphalt has made me wary of DS Racers.

Great stuff. It's sad that Mario seems to be the only really decent game available.

I'm sure I'll end up getting Feel The Magic too though, despite it being so short. I'm also intrigued by the unlockable extras via the GBA carts - anyone tried this yet?

Feel the Magic arrived!! Last Wednesday... or Thursday... can't remember. But the point is it's a cracking game... and a good taste of what's in store when Wario Ware: Touched arrives next month.

Oh and I got Ridge Racer DS yesterday. Wasn't all that into it at first (having been hooked on Need For Speed Underground 2 on Xbox for like 3 days straight), but I had a long hard crack (giggle!) at it today and it's a really decent game.

www.dvdsoon.com (canadian) do DS games too. PLUS if you buy their 'fidelity' card, that gives you at least 5% off prices and you get free basic delivery (or 50% off 1st class).

The card is $50 (canadian) so that's about £22 for a year. Could work out good as their DS games are around $40 (£17.50).

Right now they're running a promotion which gives cardholders 14% off so I ordered Ridge Racer DS.

Very odd indeed, cannot wait to give Feel the magic a go, I'm also going to pick up Mario and Ridge Racer soon, should keep me busy enough.
