Nintendo DS for Christmas


EricBall

358 views

My six year-old son's Christmas wishlist has GameBoy on it. After some thought I realized we have enough ways to play video games around the house that adding another won't be encouraging him to play more. Plus the battery connector on the portable DVD player died (really bad design IMHO - two very small spring steel "fingers" just waiting to get bent out of shape) and we have a 5+ hour plane flight coming up.

 

Although the DS doesn't have GB/GBC compatibility, it's the current platform so I'm sure that's where most new development will be focused. And I'm sure there will be a Pokemon title for the DS when he's ready for it.

 

Anyway, any suggestions on must have DS (or GBA) titles I should be getting (either new or used)?

6)Activision Anthology(GBA)

Heh, I've got that one already. Something about Skeleton+ being one of the homebrews (although I think they chopped off the left side as a side effect of centering games with HMOVE bars).

Did not realize the DS was backward compatible with GBA games.

GBC (Z80) - GB compatible

GBA/GBA SP (ARM7 & Z80) - GB/GBC compatible

GBA micro (ARM7) - not GB/GBC compatible

DS (ARM9+ARM7) - GBA compatible, not GB/GBC compatible

Here's a list of the DS games I've been playing the most:

Mario Kart DS

Polarium

Yoshi's Island DS (very difficult)

Puyo Pop Fever

New Super Mario Bros.

Elf Bowling (very dorky game, but 'tis the season ;))

 

I guess Retro Atari Classics is out of the question since it was made by Infogrames.
