My mom is doing a gift giving thing for a local charity organization, where kids in less fortunate families write what they want for Christmas on a card. She picked one up because it said "Video games for Nintendo DS", and she thought I might be able to help her out with picking out good games for the kid. I don't have a DS, so I thought you guys might be able to help me out!
He's 11 years old, and the games should be age appropriate. I have no idea what he has already, or if he even has any games.
Thanks everybody! Any suggestions help!
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.
DS games for an 11 year old? Please help!
Pokemon Platinum
Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story
Scribblenauts
The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Oh man, my mom said we're going to get just 1 game for the kid.
I thought Pokemon Platinum, but I'm kinda worried, because it came out a few months ago, and that would suck if he already had it. I'm thinking if he's already into pokemon, he might already have it...
So I think I'll go with Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, just because it's a better chance he wont have it. And if he does, well, it's his fault for not being specific.
Viva Pinata :Pocket Paradise
Lock's Quest
Drawn To Life (& Next Chapter)
Pokemon Ranger (& 2)
FinalFantasy Fables Chocobo's Tale (nice RPG)
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker (like Pokemon, but different)
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime (not so hard RPG)
Harvest Moon (any of them)
Rune Factory (Harvest Moon with RPG)
Platformers like - Yoshi's Island, Yoshii's Touch & Go, New Super Mario Bros, Super Maro 64, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Kirby Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeek Squad
Mario Kart
Mario Party
Chibi Robo: Park Patrol
Naruto (fighting games - if he likes Naruto - or Bleach games as well)
Bomberman (any of them)
Blue Dragon Plus (nice RPG)
I base much of that on whart my daughters liked at the same age. Hope I have helped. Good luck.
