Recommended DS games

[Abedeus]

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, The World Ends With You, Pokemon, the new DS games coming out in few weeks, Ragnarok DS is also okay for a DS hack and slash, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (better than Portrait of Ruin and hundreds of times better than Ecclesia), Megaman Battle Network 5: Double Team, Ace Attorney games.

 

[Jmastab]

New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Chrono Trigger, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure

If you can wait a couple of weeks I know that
Sonic Classic collection comes out 3/2 is $30 and if you can get another $10 that new Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver comes out 3/14 which looks really good

Final Fantasy Revenant Wings was extremely awesome, if you totaly don't hate FF games you really should get it.

The world ends with you was pretty awesome too.

Shin Megami tensei: Devil survivor is quite cool too, though I haven't played much of it.

The World Ends With You was a fantastic game.

The Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice series is still one of my favorite series of all time.

If you like music/rhythm games, I highly recommend the Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! (if you have the means to import) and Elite Beat Agents games.

Those being said, there were a lot of recommendations on this page; though either I didn't read everything, or maybe people hate it, but The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is good once you can get used to the controls.

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. Best Castlevania on the DS yet!

This is a kick ass game, hard but fun.

Hotel Dusk Room 215 is a good one. I also enjoyed Advance Wars: Days of ruin.

This as well, it's got a fantastic story for the game.

Phantasy Star 0
Advance Wars
Hotel Dusk
Phoenix Wright

Castlevania. ANY.

I can't even be bothered to play Zelda, I'm like 2% in, and I just don't wanna play it. I've never been a Zelda fan.

I'd say GTA: Chinatown Wars. It's the awesome.

 

[Durxom]

The DS games that I can recommend, simply because I thought they were awesome are

Kirby Super Star Ultra
New Super Mario. Bros
Mario and Luigi : Bowser's Inside Story
Mario Kart DS
Contra 4
Rhythm Paradise (or Rhythm Heaven in the US)
Final Fantasy 3
Phoenix Wright

This person is wise, you should listen to what they have to say.

Metal Slug 7
Trauma Centre Under The Knife 2 (DONT BUY LifeSigns: Surgical Unit)
Chrono Trigger DS

Yes to TC:UtK 1 & 2, but why no Lifesigns?

Also, preorder Soul Silver.

Pick up Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney if you're into those games.

it doesnt have a pause button during operations and you cant fastforward dialouge (even if you already read it) and to use tools you need to press the L button (wich is pretty much impossible for me since I am left handed) its just plain bad

Contact. It's a game that just rapes the 4th Wall.

Spoiler

You even get to fight the protagonist you control near the end
