Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Tetris DS

that game scares me... i watched the quick look and was completely lost.

The Zelda games, Super Mario Bros, Metroid Prime Hunters, Professor Layton series

Pokemons?

Ghost Trick. That is the only DS game you need to play...
 
Oh and maybe the Castlevania games and Laytons and Bowser's Inside Story.

Phoenix Wright? Hotel Dusk? Legend of Zelda? Golden Sun?

Those are just a few that I'll get whenever I get a DS system, anyway...

Freshly Picked Tingles Rosy Ruppeland and Rythem Heaven, DONE!

• Dragon Quest anything
• Final Fantasy anything
• Fire Emblem anything
• Game & Watch Collection
• Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (notice the lack of "anything")
• Kirby
• Phantom Hourglass
• Lufia
• Mario anything
• Meteos
• Metroid anything
• Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
• TWEWY
• WarioWare
• Sonic Rush
• Professor Layton anything
  

super mario 64 ,my good man :-D

Elite Beat Agents is still one of the systems best games. It's such a unique rhythm game that really takes advantage of the hardware. Meteos is also great (I remember hearing the Disney sequel may actually be a better game). Also, trauma center is a fun, interesting game. 

Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2

Phoenix Wright 1 - 3 & Apollo Justice are some of my favourite games of all time. If you can find them then definitely give it a shot.

Pokemon games are always solid. Especially the most recent ones.

Picross3D

Ghost Trick. Incredibly charming puzzle game with a strong narrative and characters.

It breaks you in really slowly and it's actually a lot easier to grasp than to do. Very addictive.

Ghost Trick is a must-play. 
 
Other than that, I'd recommend Radiant Historia since no one else has recommended it and I think it's worth playing. Also, yeah, we have a thread dedicated to this like PeasForFees pointed out.

I highly recommend The World Ends With You and SMT Devil Survivor.

• Elite Beat Agents
• Picross 3D
• Rhythm Heaven
• Resident Evil DS
• Okamiden
  

Contact 
Contra 4

The Phoenix Wright games are perhaps my favorite. Other than that, I really liked Picross 3D, Super Scribblenauts, and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

I bought Picross 3D. i am starting to get it. however for right now im drawing the line at slicers. i dont think i get enough yet to dive into that shit.

Hey manbro, let me break you in on this whole reality of DS games. 
 
you see there are many who feel to look past the reality of things and subject their own vile ideas of what the DS is used for 
 
but with my sovereign interest I will bring you to the light 
 
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey 
 
take into it a stride and be one with the reality and forth be with the ds 
 
two screen alternate reality does not equate to dual realisms 
 
Strange Journey is the one and true
 
she will be true to you and dress you in the finest silks and myrrh
 
and be forever exalted 
 
so says I the seer
 
also Trauma Center Under the Knife 2  will not betray you
 
neither will Ghost Trick

My favorite is try and skip the DS across the pond.

Devil Survivor is getting a 3D re release later this year.

The 3DS was my first foray back into portable systems so I was in a similar position.

I ended up buying Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Professor Layton and the Curious Village and the Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass.

I would highly recommend all three of them

999 or 999 or 999

You wanted variety, so here are the ones that I can think up:  
 
Any of the Phoenix Wright games (if you haven't played any of them yet, start with the first one)
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin/Dual Strike (IMO Days of Ruin is better, a lot more balanced gameplay-wise)
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Pokemon Black/White

@Jackel2072: I felt the exact same way but I promise its not that intimidating the tutorial is simple and really explains everything really well. Give it a try and you may get hooked.
