Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney (and its sequels), you can get it pretty cheap off Amazon and the like. You play as a Defence Attorney who shouts at people in Court... Way better than it sounds XD

Even though this topic was only five posts in, I knew I'd be getting ninja'd when I came here to say the Ace Attorney series.

I'm also going to suggest Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, SMT: Devil Survivor (although the enhanced port is coming out for the 3DS next month) and SMT: Devil Survivor 2 will be out next February-ish

-Hotel Dusk: Like a mystery novel, very heavy in storyline. Several puzzles and really good characters

-Any of the Laytons: Puzzle games with a storyline! And Layton himself is awesome

-Picross 3D: It's a 3D puzzle game...like...well...Jenga? I don't know. It's good though

-Okamiden: Yes, it's a sequel to Okami, and it would help if you had played Okami, but it's still a good game and I think you'd be able to understand it all the same. They do plenty of recapping what you need to know.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. I'd also recommend watching for Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2. It's rumored to have elements from Persona games, such as Social Links.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
I love and hate that game. It is one of the worst offenders of "but what if I chose the other option" syndrome. every choice I made that closed off other areas made me think I missed something important. On the other hand, I love the story, combat and characters....

OT: Contact is a good DS game, not for everyone though. I can't name any game like it off the top of my head... It's like earthbound with the combat style of FF12.

... that might not be the best selling point to say though...

Advance Wars: Dual Strike

It is so so so much fun, and you can have a 4 player multiplayer on 1 DS.

The World Ends With You is definitely a winner there, but Phantom Hourglass is also pretty great.
Chrono Trigger DS is also worth a shot if you like JRPGs with a good storyline.
