    Where is your Indecisive DS game list  :-)

    That would be the one where we question our thought processes at the the time that led us to buying what we have.  :-)

    Chrono Trigger should be moved to the Top Tier, seriously.  It's the Best RPG ever made.  Everything about it is done so right.  Tetris DS as 2nd tier....I think you should put it as a special class to its' own because it is so hard to find a legitimate copy of.  And where's Clubhouse Games?  It might not have a lot of depth to it, but it's pretty fun and has quite a bit of replay value in it.

    Good point with Clubhouse games. consider it added.  I might consider replacing Chrono Trigger with another game on the top tier.

    @CoolDrMoney: Henry Hatsworth is a great game, I think it is a must buy for any 2d platformer/puzzle gamer.
     Or you should get Resident evil DS and Rhythm Heaven. And civilization Rev. is a game you should also think of getting

    Also agreed on Clubhouse Games.  It is simple and unpretentious.  What it does, it does very well and multiplayer is excellent.

    Shouldn't Heracles: Battle of the Gods be replaced with that Glory of Heracles game? Battle of the Gods is just some multiplatform platformer and not an RPG.

    Oh, and I'm not sure I would call Mario & Luigi 2 a "niche" title. It is a Mario game, after all. Actually, many of the games listed as niche aren't really niche titles in my book, but hey, it's your list AgentJ. :P

    Yes.  Yes I am.  Multiplayer is the best.  The only thing they messed up is ONLINE.  This would have been a classic online game.  So much missed opportunity  :-(

    Missing my 2 favorite DS games : Orcs & Elves and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga.  Probably should be in niche though.

    The text on the top screen seems to be in japanese, so it could be just about anything. the bottom screen seems to either be a grid for a SRPG or a nuclear explosion, both of which (sadly) are equally likely

    I conquer  :-) with you, it does appear to be a grid - map, on the bottom.  I assumed also some type of RPG and maybe an adventure game.  Do you think the kitty can read Japanese?  If so, I'll adopt it.

    Reminds me - it does need updating.  I think it is about 10 short.  I hope they have fixed some of the problems with making thsose lists - picking your box art to match your game being the main one.  Alphabetical order would be nie as well.

    I think Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent are both pretty good games.  They're also long (like 6-12 hours each).  Not Top Tier, though.

    You also might want to put a marker on Jump Ultimate Stars saying that you have to get it via Import.

    I would like to suggest The Dark Spire under the Niche section.

    If your into old school CRPGS like Wizardry or loved AD&D the game is right up your alley, if not it is total frustration.

    Just as a note, Contra 4 is import only if you're in Europe. Didn't get a release here. And, why the rickroll? What's the point in that?

    Come on, it was good. Its the only Rick Roll where I wasn't really annoyed that it happened. He got me good, I got played, and good on the AgentJ.

    I suppose. I was pissed because I thought the UK had missed out on a Metroid game, then I was bewildered because I was staring at Rick Astley. It left me feeling hollow and empty inside. :P

    How do you think I feel?  I am old enough to have been dancing to Rick Astley at discoteques in the 80s.  Now that is something to feel hollow and empty inside about  :-)
