DSi XL

I have been debating on grabbing one but am unsure at this time. Games I can see myself grabbing:

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Chrono Trigger
Metroid Prime Hunters
Final Fntasy 4 (too bad 6 is not on here, or I can't seem to find it anywhere)

Anything else?
 
new super mario bros. and castlevania series. reasons to own ds. 3d version of ds was announced, may want to wait for that
 
The mario and luigi games are pretty good as well.

They're pretty basic rpgs, but have a decent story and are pretty fun.
 
I've been having a blast playing Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. Fun "match 3" type gameplay, with a fantasy RPG/strategy twist.

Lots of good games, many Dragon Quest titles if you like that genre.
 
The DSi XL is a waste of money IMO unless you have trouble seeing. Get the smaller DSi or even the older DS Lite. They'll be cheaper. Probably some discounts now on the DSi.
 
Picked up an XL this w/e for my son (I broke his Lite replacing the case). I must admit it is pretty nice. Is it worth the $20 extra over the DSi (when you cannot find a deal on one) ... yes it is but not by much.

The bigger screens are cool but as others have said they are the same resolution.

I think the better deal is for the new DSi with the Mario game that is due out soon (tomorrow I think).

Overall my son is happy so I am fine with it.

MP: Hunters made my hand cramp up in short order, can't remember if I already sold/traded it or not.

And Dragon Quest IX FINALLY HAS A US RELEASE DATE! (6/1)
Been waiting five years for this one.
 
Try the pheonix wright series. fun. Wario ware is fun too.

edit: Maybe pick up an acecard and a sd card so you can watch movies on it?
 
If you can get over preconceived notions, try pokemon 😛

Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk, Professor Layton, and Picross are all fun as well.

Yep, 43 yro male and I own and have played all PM games. Just finished Heartgold 2 days ago. 😛 I may get the XL because I have shitty eyes.
 
I have the DS Lite, and I swear that "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box" was created just to encourage people to buy the XL. I have a hard time seeing some of the puzzle details in that game.
 
Castlevania series is the reason why I bought a DS lite in the first place. The only place to play good Castlevania games.
