Hello.

Just got a DS Lite a couple days ago. I know there is supposed to be a huge amount of games for this little system that are "must have." I just want to know what the people here recommend.

Thanks.

The CastleVania games are a must.
New SMB is great!
Mario Kart DS for racing fun.
Ninja Gaiden:Dragon Sword is pretty fun.
Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney is...interesting.
Professor Layton & The Curious Village if you like solving puzzles.
Zelda : Phantom Hourglass was a good old fashioned Zelda with a twist.
The World Ends With You is a different kind of game, and very fun.
The Final Fantasy games are generally pretty good, depending on what kind of gameplay you enjoy.
I still play Sudoku almost every day... (From Brain Age 1&2)

Thanks for all the recommendations so far you guys. I lean more towards multiplayer games that can be played with one cart, like Bomberman and Mario Kart type games.

Advance Wars - Turn based strategy game, is very good
Elite Beat Agents - Rythm game that is a blast
Neves - Arrange the shapes to make the picture puzzle game
Picross - Another of my favorite puzzle games, but it makes my brain hurt.

A great puzzle game.

This game and all the other games mentioned in this thread are worth picking up.

The only good game I own that isn't listed is one that most adults avoid: Pokemon. :p

If you like action-puzzlers like Tetris, then I can't recommend Meteos or Meteos Disney Edition highly enough.
