Konnichiwa minna.

I am a new owner of a DS (black), and I am just wondering what games you guys recommend. I have been browsing at local stores, but the only ones that I find interesting are Mario and Final Fantasy. Any input would be great.

Sayonara! Arigato gozaimasu!

Just a weeaboo tip: "Sayounara" is more of a "farewell" than a casual "bye", so you shouldn't use it if you plan to be back here soon. As for gaming tips, I suggest the Ace Attorney games, though not owning a DS myself I've never personally played them.

Second weeaboo tip: Randomly inserting japanese into your text gets real annoying real fast.

I also suggest the Ace Attorney games, especially if you were raised on the old Sierra/Lucasarts adventures. Another must-have is Elite Beat Agents. Even if the tracklist doesn't suit your tastes on the surface, the cover bands used in the game improve on a lot of them, and the story bits push it squarely into the realm of AWESOME. You can also import Ouendan 1 or 2 if you're so inclined.

Just because I insert Japanese into my message doesn't mean anything. You guys hang around here too, so what does that say about you?

But thank you for the recommendations, I will definitely check them out.

Better yet, why say bye anyways? People never ask for something and say "See ya" after their question.

Anyways, Phoenix Wright is amazing. Go for Castlevania games also (I liked DoS more than PoR). Trauma Center is also great, along with MOST first party titles.
