Title: Tetris DS
Genre: Puzzle
Description: In addition to the standard Tetris mode we all know and love, Tetris DS has five additional play modes such as, Mission Mode, Puzzle Mode, Touch Mode, Push Mode and Catch Mode. But true to form, Nintendo has added just enough in the way of new content and features to make this a must-buy for puzzle fans.
Reason:
Good
Some of the new play modes are excellent, great multiplayer. Tetris for Everyone!
Finally, there's multiplayer, 10 people can play locally using only one Tetris DS card. Wi-Fi multiplayer match is simple yet fun and you can have match ranking with the worldwide Tetris DS player.
Bad
A couple of the play modes like touch mode and catch mode may get boring after for a long play. Touch Mode might make player uncomfortable especially on rotating the block which may also confuse player.

Hmm.. Tetris is a good game but not a recommended game for a new DS player. As they will definetly look for something mroe intersting and new for their DS.

Title: Winning Eleven DS
Genre: Sports, Football (To Americans...Soccer)
Description: Popular Console/PC football game comes to the Nintendo DS. The game features a plethora of teams (both club and country) and several modes of play such as Exhibition, Penalty Shoot Out, Konami Cup and Training. Participate in the World Tour mode to unlock more teams and to gain coins to purchase better players (You slot the coins into a gacha machine). You can also participate in local WiFi matches with a friend or compete globally over the WFC.


Reason:
Good
Excellent gameplay coupled with nice,functional graphics and animation. Local WiFi and Nintendo WFC enabled. Plenty of modes, teams, and players to ensure good replay value. Currently available at a bargain price of USD 19.90 (!) at Play-Asia (here)

Bad

Winning eleven. tough choice taking into consideration that you cant get it locally. only online. But its the only sports game that is good. HMM
Japanese. Decrease its value for new owner >.<

well, even if you can only get it online, i still think it deserves your attention since it is only usd20. what a good bargain i would say.

True also. but the thing is this. How many new player is willing to fork out the money for a japanese game?

ya, i know it is a japanese game but looking at its price tag it is kinda hard to resist lo.

Hehe. A new player who understands/doesn't mind japanese.

i think the US version will be coming out right?

hehe...this thread is going OT, head over to the winning eleven thread to discuss about the game....click here

brain age is a good start for new ds owner...don't you think? too lazy to write a review

Warioware Touched - still a blast to play. A collection of quickfire quirky mini games that you gets faster and faster over time. How quirky? Like digging your nose, scratching your armpits, blowing balloons and inflatable dolls (literally by blowing your breath into the mic!). Its a perfect showcase of the abilities of the DS and the versatility of the stylus and the mic. Its a game for all ages.

Age of Empires - if RTS is your thing. Its a nice time sucker during flights. It'll you want to know more and brush up on history too when you play characters like Richard the Lionheart and Joan of Arc.

Dragon Quest - those darn frantic tank battles!

Cooking Mama - i dont know why this game never took off but hey .. its the ultimate chick game! Not much depth but these kinds of DS games are meant to be pick up and play affairs anyway - so for your 15 min fix, its a relaxing play cooking Salisbury steak and gyoza ..

Mariokart - this is killer app goodness at its best. And if you so happen to have multiple DS's at home (i have amassed 6 over the past 1.5 years - for equality and sanity's sake's of those at home) - the multiplayer racing is just insane and brilliant. Hard to beat the fun factor you get from a single card. I play multiplayer Cardhouse Games as well but heck .. there is no more simple pleasure than beating the crap out of each other in Mariokart.

Wariorware touched is a good experience. But its not exactly a very very worth it game.
Age of empires have been replaced with Advance war. Advance war have slightly better interface.
Dragon quest slime is too short.

Cooking mama. Good suggestions. Let me look into it.
Mario kart. Already posted

Ladies and gents. We have one more spot for the 10 games that MUST HAVE FOR NEW DS OWNER

Please make your choice for 1 game that you think is a must have.
The language if possible need to be in english for the game.
Give reason on why is it the best.
The game must be worth it. and something that is new or inovative. Somthing that have high replayability value and can be played by everyone.

Please make your recommendation. Thank you

Wouldn't DQH: Rocket Slime be good for it's replayability? To my understanding, the story is short as you say, but the replayability is there (as stated, tank battles)

Title: Yoshi Island DS
Genre: 2D sidescrolling platformer
Description: A mario-like platformer featuring lots and lots of yoshis of different colours. A classic 2D platformer with added twists and mini-games for more replayability value.

Good: Classic 2D sidescroller game at its very best, only second to New Super Mario Bros on the DS. Really addictive, once you pick it up, couldn't stop playing. And the yoshis are oh so cute...

Bad: Could be a bit more challenging on the levels, boss fights are okay though.

Reveur, is this going to be a vote or will you just be making the final decision anyway. Like when you decided to omit Tetris coz u think its too hard.

I'd like to vote for tetris to be reconsidered. Replayablitiy on that game is excellent, level of difficulty ramps up nicely from noobs to hardcore players and multiplay is great too. Every DS owner should have a tetris cartridge ready so that when you meet another DS owner, you can immediately start playing

I'd also like to vote for:

Title: Osu Takake Ouendan
Genre: Screen Tapping Rhythm Action
Reason it is good/bad:
Good: If you think Elite Beat Agents then you will love this title too. Has a nice mix of tracks that IMO is better that the ones in EBA. The tapping's synchonization with the music is also better in Ouendan that in EBA IMO.
Bad: It's in Japanese (but should not be much of a problem for this game). It's also almost impossible to find in stores locally.

Actually Tertris, i didnt vote it out coz its too hard. But i reconsider it coz of the fact that you can get tertris anywhere. And i am taking it from a new ds owner point of view. I wouldnt want to play a Tertis on my ds. I wan play something cool Something pretty and something fun. I might get a Tertis later. But now? I want something i cant get anywhere else except on DS.

I actually weighted between Ouendan and EBA, and since we already have EBA. Do we want to put Ouendan in ? Or is there something betteR?

I still think tetris is worth adding. Don't forget that tetris is cheap too.

isn't tetris cool and fun too?
