OK, I'm getting some money to buy a new game...but what?
I'm mostly trying to get something for my Nintendo DS Lite, but I'm thinking the GBA. I'm thinking of getting the New Super Mario Bros, since I had my eye on it, but I'm not entirely sure. What do you guys think, something for the DS or GBA? And what game?
This is what I currently own.
DS
Mario Kart DS
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Spyro: Shadow Legacy
GBA
Sonic Advance 2
Yu-Gi-Oh: Stairway to Destined Duels(Do NOT ask.)
Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga

New Super Mario Bros. Don't even think about buying anything else for your DS until you've played that. D:
Buuuut if you're not in the mood for a platformer, maybe get Metroid Prime: Hunters. I dunno, either of those two.
Oh, oh, and if you think the New Super Mario Bros. is too easy, try the challenge mode. To activate that, just open the start menu on the map and press "L R L R X X Y Y" in order. Challenge mode puts a forced scroll on the level, unfortunately you won't be able to access it until you've beat the regular game.
EDIT: Forced scrolls doesn't sound too hard, but it WILL give you problems. It WILL kill you more than a few times, and it WILL get you stuck, forcing you to return to the map.

Mario Kart DS is an awesome racing game, especially if you have the time to get a Wi-Fi.
I found Mission Mode especially interesting on it. I'm redoing them all to get a better score than the crappy excuse for one I had, haha.
Mario and Luigi 2 took me forever to beat, and I liked how un-serious it was. They made a lot of expressions, and the storyline was decent. And it had a bunch of Yoshis in it Double-scoop ice cream

Go with the Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrows on DS. It's a rocking game. Or if you like turn based strategy games, you could go for Advance Wars: Dual Strike. It too, is on DS.

Not sure what for the GBA. I'd get Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World, if I had one. D:
For the DS...
- Meteos, if you're into super-addicting puzzle games.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a sweet game, too, if you're willing to try something different. XD But supposedly, it's the second-rarest DS game in the US, so you may have a really hard time finding it.
- Animal Crossing: Wild World is supposed to be good, as well.
- Tetris DS, again if you're into puzzle games.
If you're willing to wait...
- Yoshi's Island 2... no explanation, ne? ;P
- Final Fantasy III
If you're able to get import games...
- Osu! Tatakae! Oendan is such an awesomely fun game. XD It's coming out in the US sometime as "Elite Beat Agents," but the music and scenarios are supposed to be completely different.
- Jump Superstars looks pretty darn fun. It's sort of like SSBM, except with different rules and Anime characters from Shonen Jump instead of Nintendo characters.

Well, I was able to get the New Super Mario Bros. a week back, and beat it, AND got world 4 and 7. That's a fun game.
I've read everything. Sorry, not much into Castlevania. ^^;
Though, I might be able to get some games on my B-Day soon.
Alright, I've narrowed it down to some of these.
GBA
Golden Sun
Megaman Zero
DS
Tetris DS
Sonic Rush
Jump Superstars(I would LOVE to have that! D:)
Yoshi's Island 2
Final Fantasy III
I'm still waiting for suggestions for more games. If you want, you can narrow it down to me aswell. I'll have my final choice by September 9th. Thanks everyone!

Well let's see what I suggest:
DS:
Sonic Rush (speed speed speed!)
Kirby canvas Curse (great platformer)
Warioware Touched (just plain awesome)
GBA:
Summon Nights: Swordcraft Story (Great game)
Warioware Twisted (It just rocks)
the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Fourswords (Great game)
I can't think of any more at this moment.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get Spyro: Shadow legacy.
There's so many bugs in that, I had to restart the game twice to finish it without bugs... The finish isn't even GOOD! All you do is fight stuff, then do favors for people for these relic things. Once you get relics, you go beat the bosses. The bosses are a bit tough, but the last one's a joke.
Once you learn the Chi moves, you are UNbeatable, and that isn't fun. All you do is a Chi move and all the enemies around you die or get their defences down. Do it again, and everyone's out of the picture. Plus, Chi is super easy to heal. All you have to do is beat enemies to drop magic restoring mushrooms, so you have a never ending supply of tush kicking, and IT'S BORING!!
When you finally get to Red, one of the major bad guys, he attacks so incredibly slow you have time to do just about anything, even get a soda and come back still alive. He hardly damages you, and you can kill him in a few hits.
The final boss is a chump, in between him and you is a huge gap. He sends a big ball of energy to you, and all you have to do is hit it, fly over, hit him a few times, and fly back, rinse, wash, repeat.
You can't even DO anything after you're done!! You are supposedly "preparing for the bad guys return", but that's all you do. Bianca and Hunter are walking around randomly saying they're "training" people and that you should work on your powers. I dang well worked on my powers, I raised them high enough that the game glitched. BTW, you can't pass level 25, if you try to get more experience, it just goes over the top.
~You spend your time beating stuff with godly attacks
~If you don't use godly attacks, you can't break some shields,
~you heal magic and health rather easily,
~Second to last and last boss a joke,
~Nothing after the boss,
~Can't use fire-breath most of the game, so no point in getting fire breath power ups.
~GLITCHES!!
Whew, that was fun to get out of my system.

I'm still trying to level up and hopefully learn more moves. I know a lot of people said it was bad, but hey this is coming from a Dragon who's first Spyro/Addictive game was A Hero's Tail. LEVEL UP ! ! |

Its not like theres high definition surgical procedures, the goriest it gets is draining blood and closing up lacerations. Actual surgery is pretty much abstracted out, it plays more like a puzzle game than anyhting else.

I know I know...I saw the review on X-Play. I just don't like that kind of game. I mean, I'm in puzzles and all, but this I will not touch. Hey, I'll play God of War over this, and THAT'S gory.
