Should I buy a DS Lite? Currently they are £130 (Roughly $260) with two free games of any choice. I was going to choose Metroid Prime Hunters and Mario Kart DS, mainly for the online play, what are peoples views on this?

I also see that you's are addicted to pokemon, shame its not old school pokemon! =D! Still I'd be quite happy with the two games I've already got my heart set on =).

In a word, yes. In fact, what haven't you bought one yet?

Mario Kart DS is a must, but other than Prime Hunters... You could get the new PKMN. Or Meteos which is awesome... Advance Wars DS which is awesome... Elite Beat Agents which is surprisingly fun... Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.... Final Fantasy III which is painfully difficult but a huge time suck... A Mana series RTS is coming out soon... And so is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2... New Super Mario Bros.... Either of the Kirby titles... Tetris DS is a fun distraction... Puzzle Quest... Yoshi's Island DS... Lunar Knights... Bomberman DS... Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin...

That enough titles to convince you? :)

The new pokemon isn't released in the UK until July 27. I haven't heard of Meteos =|. I also don't/won't be buying any platform games such as mario/luigi style...! I've decided I will buy it (going shopping thursday). I'll have to borrow my friend's wireless, or steal someones from the street to play..I was wondering if anyone has a preferance of another game over metroid prime hunters?

What I thought was funny... is that out of all the games he listed there.... I have all of them except for....

well the Mana series RTS isn't out yet... neither is Tactics Advance 2...

I played the kirby games and didn't like them...
Puzzle Quest
Lunar Knights
Bommerman DS
Castlevania: PoR
Advance Wars DS

Which means... I have...
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Pokemon Pearl
Meteos (amazing game btw)
Elite Beat Agents
Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (Not a platform game... it's an RPG)
Final Fantasy III
New Super Mario Bros
Tetris DS
Yoshi's Island DS (sister has it)

All of the games I have I think are worthy purchases. My sister didn't care much for Yoshi's Island DS (too short) but you said you didn't want any platformers anyways... umm If you like DDR/Guitar Hero get Elite Beat Agents.... otherwise just get Metroid Prime hunters....

I kinda wanna make a gamelist of all my games for every system... NES would take a while though.... *looks at the picture*... wow I need to update that... (3 year old picture)

Llama, I didn't see Super Princess Peach on your list of DS games... but I thought you had it. Haha, I'm not exactly sure why/how I know that... o_o;

Bomberman DS was... eh. Bomberman Land Touch, on the other hand, was very, very good in my opinion. The Pokemon games are shockingly amazing and addiciting. And Meteos is a puzzle game. A good one too, might I add. I only played the older Kirby game... canvas curse... it was alright, I'd say.

I have no wireless at home. It will make it difficult to get on at times, however the next door neighbour's wireless is not passworded or secured in anyway, and my nan does have wireless and so does a number of my friends. Just means I'll have to leave the house =P.

Here is the lowdown;

I have my DS and three games and I can steal my neighbours wireless (also just got a wireless router, it's just giving me some trouble) =).

Three games are:

Metroid Prime Hunters. - Just got today.
Mario Kart DS.
CustomRobo Arena (Suprisingly Good).

I shall be getting pokemon hopefully, when it comes out july 27, however it may take abit longer (need to save money and get a job). How do I find out my friend ID and stuff? Is there a website I can go to on the internet to configure etc? Thanks!
