Topic: What to Get?

My next big purchase will most likely be NSMB for the Wii. But in a few weeks I'm going on vacation and will be bringing the DS. I am currently playing Bowser's Inside Story but want something else in case I finish it. Should I get Super Mario Brothers for the DS or is there another good adventure / platformer I should get?

Do you have any kirby games? If not, then Super Star Ultra would be a good choice. Or maybe The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, or Super Mario 64 DS.

Why wouldn't I finish BIS? How many hours of gameplay is there in BIS?

I have Super Star Ultra and Phantom Hourglass.

The Legendary Starfy
A Castlevania game
N+
Kirby Canvas Curse
Super Princess Peach
Mega Man ZX
Yoshi Touch & Go
Sonic Rush

...really, you could do a lot better than New Super Mario Bros.

I'd like to try all of those at some point...I thoug NSMB was highly rated. And it looks like Castlevania games are hard to get.

And another question...Sonic Rush or Sonic Rush Adventure?

Actually, NSMB DS is an okay choice IMO. It's only good the first time around, I think that's why it gets a lot of hate.

NSMBWii is gonna be great. yoshi touch and go sux. no story, boring as hell! if youre gonna go wit a yoshi type game go wit yoshis island ds. sonic rush is ok, but too short. megaman zx... idk. Super Princess peach gets crapped on by nsmbwii! kanvas kurse is eh alright. N+ is like a puzzle game? well if u like puzzle games id get that. castlevania is awesome! get nsmbwii or spirit tracks!

...You do know he's talking about the DS New Super Mario Bros.? And how does New Super Mario Bros. Wii "crap on" Super Princess Peach? NSMBWii isn't even out yet. Same with Spirit Tracks.

If its not too late, get Spirit Tracks when it releases. I wouldn't recomend Sonic Rush. Too short, not much fun as the other sonic's. NSMB DS is much better, but I wouldn't go for that either, since you might want a long game. I would suggest Mario 64 DS, Spirit Tracks, or Phantom Hourglass.

Anything .

Thing is, he was kinda specific about asking for a Platformer and/or adventure game...

Eh, it's not a bad game, it's just not that great, and there are much better games in its class.

Really? I never had any trouble finding them, and for a good price at that.=
And they seem to be pretty abundant online(the DS ones, at least). The a huge amount, but enough, and for a good price(used, at least, but why be picky?)

I liked Sonic Rush more, but Sonic Rush Adventure has a lot more replay value to it. Plus it's pretty good, too.

You should get Super Mario 64 DS. It's my favorite game.

Agreed. Go for this.

NMSB is a great choice. Low difficulty is one of the main criticisms of the game, but in many ways the difficulty is adjustable--sure, there are items everywhere to make it easier if you're no good at platforming, but if you avoid the items and extra lives then some of the levels can be quite challenging. I got the game as a Christmas gift along with my first DS lite and it is one of the few titles I still come back to. Heck, I still haven't gotten 100% on it as there are some gold coins I haven't been able to obtain and/or find yet. Some of the levels have that same originality that has made past 2D Mario games so good.

Sure, it may not be as good as SMB3 or SMW, but it's still one heck of a DS game.

Super Mario 64 is also great, my main reservation being that it occasionally becomes frustrating trying to pull off tricky sections without an analogue stick. It's still a great game and another great choice for your DS.
