DS Recommendations

[Aldryic C'boas]

Picked up a pair of 3DS XLs this past weekend for the wife and I.  My main intent was to replace my DS Lite with a larger screen in anticipation of picking up a DSTWO Mod cart to load all of my old ROMs onto.. and of course Kristi wanted a new one as well >_>  But that aside.. while in the store, picked up a copy of the new Fire Emblem.  Instant addiction - I love these types of games.  So much in fact, that I'd finished the main story in just under eight hours >_>  Working on the rest of the content now, but it's got me jonesing for more.

I'm sure there are plenty of gamers here; PC, Console, and Handheld alike.  I haven't really had any luck finding anything similar on Amazon/etc - anyone happen to have some good (!j)RPG recommendations for the DS?  (I specify non-jRPG because playing Final Fantasy once was enough - sick to death of that genre).

Well Fire Emblem is quite the best RPG Strategy that is available for any Nintendo portable system.

What I did played as long as Fire Emblem was:

• Advance Wars
  
• Heroes of Mana

Heck I have to charge my old DS.

Aaah, most excellent, thank you sir   I'll be checking into those when I get home tonight.  Noticed that the DS lineup also has a handful of the Dragon Quest series;  also added to my list.

Found my old box with the DS:

Two games I forget:

• Star Trek Tactical Assault
• Children of Mana

Children of Mana is definitely a strong title, but it's a jRPG.

*ahem* for all the boob jokes you could want, you should try Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier.

Some things you just don't have to make up.

Fire Emblem strictly is a jRPG too.

Fire Emblem strictly is a jRPG too.

Fire Emblem is mostly tactics, and most importantly isn't full of whining androgynous teens with ridiculous hair and horrible clothes.  The fact that it was made in Japan is irrelevant here.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is still the best game I've ever played on a handheld.

I should go pick up Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for my DS.

Picked up a 3DS XLs

Thank you sir for forcing me to buy a 3DS XL too.

Advance Wars
Heroes of Mana

I bought Advance Wars - Dark Conflict, because it is better than Advance Wars - Dual Strike.

Children of Mana is really good but Heroes of Mana sucks.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is still the best game I've ever played on a handheld.


I should go pick up Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for my DS.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is a must buy for DS owners.
