    Nintendo DS

    Platform »

    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.

    Can anyone recommend some good DS games?

    I've recently decided I want to play some more DS games after having quite a long break from them. 
    I own nearly all the Pokémon games, and most of the Zelda and Mario ones so I'm at a loss as to what to get next, can anyone suggest some decent games for me?
    My DS is a DS Lite, none of that fancy 3D business ;)
     
    Edit: I also have most of the Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts games/Scribblenauts!
    Thanks :)

    Dragon Quest IX is amazing.. As are the older ones (IV, V and VI) if you can track those down.

    I haven't played DS in forever.  I always get a few hours into these amazing JRPGs everyone loves then forget about them, never to be played again.
