Recommended Games for New Nintendo DS User

So you just bought yourself a brand new Nintendo DS/Lite, what is the main reason for you to buy it at the first place? Do you being attracted by it's sleek exterior and interior design, an exclusive game only available for NDS such as Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, or after reading some interesting reviews on it?

No matter what the reason is, the important fact is, you buy it because you want to play games. What am I talking about... NDS is all about games aren't it? For me, I surely prefer NDS over PSP as the game library for NDS is certainly growing over days and have a wide range of popular title, such as Pokemon and Legend of Zelda. And most importantly, it's the first hi-tech handheld LCD console that offers two LCD screens and the thickness is pretty thin and slim.

Let's get straight forward to the point. If you're wondering what kind of games are you going to grab to play with your brand new NDS, I suggest you to try out the games below. You will definitely glad that you try those games:-
