The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.
I haven't really touched my DS in probably over a year(around when TWEWY came out). I'm looking for a lengthy game to get into on the system. I'd rather something that wasn't to slow. What are the best recent stuff to come out?
You want a lengthy game but don't want it to be slow? Seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me, but I guess Dragon Quest IV and V do fit that description. They have the length that you would expect from an RPG from the early 90s and have the most fast-paced battles you will ever find in a turn-based RPG. Coincidentally, they also happen to be my 2 favorite games on the system, so I'd recommend those.
As for action games... I really can't think of any.
@Axersia: Dragon Quest games suck a— , but that's just my own opinion. Of course, if you're a hardcore RPG fan - those games might be good for you.
I don't know what kind of games you like but here's a nice list:
Advance Wars (I spent +100 hours on this) Anno 1701 (strategy) Another Code (17-20 hours) Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (20+, yup) Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (yes) Custom Robo Arena (really fun game) Etrian Odyssey (obvious) Geometry Wars: Galaxies (pretty long) GTA Chinatown Wars (good multiplayer, great replay value) Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (17-20 hours) Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (15-20 hours, too) Megaman ZX / Advent series (yes) Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (infinite) Space Invaders Extreme (it will keep you playing for weeks, it's addictive) Super Princess Peach (easily 20+) Super Mario 64 DS (if you like Mario, this game is pretty long) Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (addictive and long) Yoshi’s Island DS (long, long) Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (15-20 hours of oustanding gameplay)

A lot of those arent particularly recent.
I bet that Castlevania OOE will last you a while, GTA is supposed to be pretty great, and Shin Megami Tensei got great ratings.
" Can anyone here explain me why this topic got a crazy amount of views just after publishing my first commentary?Am I too popular on the internet or something? "
More likely the OP (or someone else) believed that a high number of page views would get more readership, or maybe it was just a glitch in the system.
@Axersia: By slow I mean stuff like FF. Slow, uninteresting combat, slow story progression, slow. I like strategy and action and I like a good story as long as the gameplay is interesting enough to keep me going.
I think Castelvania OOE was the last game I played on DS and I have played most of the stuff on Gumps list. I'm more or less looking for good games that came out recently so I can just see what I missed and I'd pick what I like myself. I actually just got Devil Survivor and am quite enjoying it. It has a neat story and the gameplay has enough strategy and challenge so it doesn't feel to slow. I've got a feeling this will last me for a while.
