I got mine for my birthday with no games, so I spent a bunch of birthday money on four games the next day. I got Contact, Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, Magical Starsign, and Trauma Center: Under the Knife.

I bought Advance Wars: Dual Strike first, but I ended up playing Trauma Centre first since it arrived faster (both imported from America).

Super Mario 64 DS. A wonderfull game, when you're not too familiar with original SM64. I still like to play minigames sometimes.

There are better games, though. The Wi-Fi is okay as well.

BTW, I'm selling my old copy of Super Mario 64 DS on eBay, anybody want it?

I bought Mario 64, The Urbz, and whatever that Sega minigame-game was at launch. Don't remember which of those three I played first. Mostly played GBA games on it until 2006 though.

Super Mario 64 DS, but I didn't really care for it. Outside of the mini games, which were sort of fun. I am a stickler for great control in games, and the touch screen and D-pad just weren't good enough.

The DS launch was actually pretty lame, it didn't actually get any good games for about 6 months. Then Yoshi Touch and Go, Kirby Canvas Curse, Advance Was: Dual Strike and a few other games were released and it made it all better.

The first game I was really impressed with on the DS, is a little puzzle game called Polarium. The game was pretty basic, but it was the first game based around the touch screen I actually liked.

My starter was Brain Training. I've heard mixed things about Mario Kart DS with the snaking and whatnot online, so I never picked it up.

I don't like snaking... and I don't play it online. But even without online... this is the most fully featured well rounded game of Mario Kart out there. Its may favorite mario kart since the original SNES one.

It's when you used the turning boost on a straight line. You need a character with very good turning, and you just go back and forth on certain tracks boosting along the way.

Some people say it is a challenging skill and adds to the difference between veteran and new players.

I say that it throws the balance of the game out the window, since in order to compete with snaking you have to only take a select handful of karts.

Hopefully they take it out of the next Mario Kart games. I've never liked that turning boost gameplay mechanic anyways.
