I've just won a DS on ebay from DiscoDexy on here (thanks again mate) which I know is dead pixel free and it comes with the metroid demo, but now that it's been out a few weeks what do people think of the games? Most people have gone for Mario, I assume this is still the game to go for?

I'm wanting a few games I can enjoy during *cough* lectures too and something that will last me, so what can you DS owners recommend?

They marked my package of 2 games down as 'books' totalling £20, despite the fact they were games equalling £40.

Nice.

I did as well, and, on the spur of the moment, decided to egt Ridge Racers as well.

Racers has barely got a look in, I'm ashamed to say.

But Feel the Magic truly is the best thing you can play on the DS.

You won't get charged on games because they're only £20. If you're worried about it then get your games from gbax.com, which is based in the UK.

Student loan comes in tomorrow, so I'll probably grab Feel the Magic and Mario from VG+, do you ever get charged tax on the games or is it just the system usually?

Won't be out for a while, but it should be great.

I'm looking forward to Wario Ware, and then Yoshi's Touch & Go, then Mario Kart, then the new Super Mario Bros game, and who knows what else is coming out I haven't really looked.

I bought Feel The Magic off videogamesplus for £16. Sweet. Should come soon.

Feel the Magic is essential if you want any kind of legendary game.

Perfectly suited to the DS, some people have moaned about repeating mini games (which is true) and it being too short, but, in my opinion, Team Sonic could've done little more to make it any better. They cut it off before it got chance to suck, making you long for a sequel.

Hell, I'm playing through it all again on the harder setting just because of how good it is. Oh, and to try and the 'nude' costume for the girl.

Lucky! I have a DS. At the moment I advice:

Mario 64 DS (I got it. Brilliant)
Feel the Magic (apparently it's very good)
Wario Ware: Touched! (Only available in Japan, I advise waitng for USA version)

Titles you should definetly invest in:

Animal Crossing DS
Yoshi's Touch and Go
Viewtiful Joe DS
Mario Kart DS
Snowboard Kids DS (I loved the one on N64)
Another (Adventure by Nintendo, might not get released in the west though)

I think I might have missed out another Nintendo title, but I can't remember
