Topic: Your first DS game

What was the first game you played on your DS, and what were your impressions?
Mine was Advance Wars: Dual Strike, and I was really surprised that a game that used such a familiar formula still felt fresh and new. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. I had only finished Aria of Sorrow not long before and it was great to play a sequel with such big improvements. I really loved it and I think it's partly why I have such a high opinion of the DS.

Wario Ware Touched! I've had a lot of fun with it. It was not the support of the touchscreen that impressed me but the many little mini-games. I never thought that these simple games can be so entertaining. Never played a WarioWare game before and it was something new.

Phantom Hourglass... I actually bought it about a month before I got my own DS. The DS Zelda games are seriously amongst my favourite. I think it's a combination of the innovative controls and the toon link style that I love so much! Suffice to say, it was a more than impressive way to get started with the system!

Sonic Rush I probably wouldn't have chosen this game out myself, but it was the gift that came with the DS. I have to say, it was really a lot of fun, especially try to get all A ranks. Plus, it has DS Download Play, so my friends and I could play it together!

Super Mario 64 DS, along with my Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo.

Super Mario 64 DS. Well The first game I played on my DS was Yoshi Topsy Turvy, but that's not a DS game I suppose.

Cartoon Network Racing.

...What?

Super Mario 64 DS. The stylus controls really put me off to it and then, a couple weeks later, I discovered that it is compatible with buttons They work fine I suppose. Another thing that happened when I first played that game and the DS, I wasn't aware that you had to push the card down to eject the cartridge so the first time removing the game I just kind of clawed it out. Luckily I discovered the proper way to eject the very next time I did so I don't think I caused any damage

@bboy: PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USE OF THIS ELECTRONIC ITEM THINGY. THE GAME'S INSTRUCTION BOOKLET WOULDN'T HURT MUCH EITHER.

I believe it was Mario Kart DS.

Pokémon Platinum, it came with my DS. I was going to get Heart Gold as my first game but as Platinum was with DS I thought I could buy HG later. It took few months before I finally bought HG as I found many other games I want and they were cheaper.

Super Mario 64

Phantom Hourglass loved the stylus controls and was my fav DS game until Spirit Tracks.

Puyo Pop Fever
What!? I had the VA on japanese, no worries. Plus, it's EXTREMELY addicitng, and I still have it 6 years later.

Warioware Touched (beat the game in a single day. For a long time, I gave up on 100% until last year when I got the last few flowers late summer-early fall)

I got mine for my birthday in March 2005 with Super Mario 64 DS and Warioware Touched

Classic.

I hope they make a sequel for the 3DS

^ I wholeheartedly agree. Feel the Magic was my third DS game I believe, my second being Mr. Driller. Rub Rabbits was quite good as well, and I was quite shocked by the ending, which proved that Rub Rabbits was a prequel.
