What are some other decent DS games out atm? I was thinking of picking up Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Brain Age. Maybe a few others... maybe Sonic Rush and/or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, I've been meaning to grab them as well. I might pick up Gran Turismo 4 for PS2 as well since it's only $30 now and it's supposedly jis-on-your-mother good.
Any other good DS titles I'm missing? Currently hooked like hell on Tetris DS, sprinkled in with some Mario Kart DS, and the occasional game of Age of Empires. Hook it up. Lookin' your way, Funky.

Metroid Prime Hunters if pretty awesome, not made my Retro like the other Prime's, but keeps most of its mannerisms, and I remeber you loving the original Metroid Prime on GC. Though, it can give you some hand cramps while playing, best thing to go is crash out on you're bed and put a pillow on you're chest/stomach which you can rest the DS on, helped me out.
I hear Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS) is cool, though if you've played through any of the other version, its pretty much the same, just with some added DS functionality. I also hear the added multiplayer modes are fun.

Sonic Rush is good if you want that classic Sonic feel. It's not amazing, but very good. It's a 2D side scroller with 3D graphics.
I loved Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. The story and the dialogue were awesome.. Pretty funny too. The gameplay was good too. It's somewhat easy though. If you played the GBA one and liked it, you'll like this. The graphics are pretty good for a cartoony looking game. Not to mention there are a lot of funny looking enemies.
I have not been able to stop playing Animal Crossing: Wild World for the DS. I rented it expecting something somewhat fun, but I got hooked in a couple of days. It's set up so you can't do everything in one day... Which is good because each day you never know what you're going to get (furniture wise, clothes). It's so simple, but so damn addictive.
Meteos is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. It's a must have.

My brother has a hard on for Sonic Rush.
I have M & L: Partners in Time. Pretty good shit. Especially if you played the first one.
Viewtiful Joe is alright too. My only beef with this game is that they want you to actually touch the DS screen for one of the VFX moves. No time to whip out the stylus. :(
Only other DS game I have is Mario Kart. Everything else is GBA games. Get Mario Power Tennis for GBA.

Same as the other ones, licence, buy cars, modify cars, race :D
It's pretty involved. Good fun though, and the physics are awesome. Just make sure you brake real early :y:

Partners in Time is awesome. I love every minute of it.
Castlevania is also an incredibly hot game. Can't go wrong with it.

Isn't Guilty Gear: DS out in like 2 days?

Oh and Sonic Rush is an incredibly unfair game, with some of the worst bosses ever in the 2D Sonic games as well.
Still fun though and I would recommend it.

Fucking hell, it's a spinoff platforming fighter in the same vein as Isuka. :(

I'll tell you what it's like when I get my copy in about a week and a bit.

Isuka sucked though. Granted, it introduced ABA, but pressing a button to turn around is just weak sauce for a 2D fighter.

Use the wrist strap for that. I had to use it for Super Princess Peach (Fun, but really easy).
