My mistake, you have to close the DS to copy the map or something and some emulators crash when you shut the DS.

srry for spoilings non story segment.

p.s. sheik is zelda

just joking man. Also I have done that bit and I swear to god it took me like 20 minutes to figure out I was supposed to close the DS and that's only a slight exaggeration

it's one of those faggotty little gimmicks in the game like having to blow into the mic every few minutes that just make me giggle like a school girl with glee because I didn't know that shit was in the game and it charmed the hell out of me

Man I felt this way when I played Hotel Dusk.  I don't remember what you had to close the DS for, but I was just sitting there staring at the screen for a while, tapping it occasionally.  My favorite part was where you had to tilt the DS just right to read something.

Geometry Wars; Galaxies
Brainage
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

Bleach Blade of Fate

I have emboldened the games that I particularly recommend.

As far as fighters go, I'll recommend Bleach DS or DS 2nd. Jump Ultimate Stars is fun at first, but I found that there are many... "cheap" things in the game that will frustrate pretty much anyone. But if you don't care about any of that, then definitely get it. It can still be a blast having Goku VS Naruto VS Ichigo VS Luffy battles. Both Bleach and JUS have Wi-Fi as well.

I have bought a lot of DS games but the only three I've really liked were Dragon Quest Monsters, Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (I actually did not like Dawn of Sorrow but I don't think I gave it a fair shot and it is probably the better game), and Final Fantasy 3 (although this game will bore you to tears before you'll ever beat it, it's still good for several dozen hours of fun).  But I'm an enormous japfag that loves to make his numbers go up and for some reason I don't like cutesy Nintendo games regardless of the fact that they are brilliant, so my advice is actually really shitty.

I'm surprised how many people are mentioning Bleach or Bleach DS 2nd! I was going to come in here and suggest one or both of them, but thought I would be a little out of place! They are fantastic fun, get them now.

IF you like dbz, I suggest dbz supersonic warriors 2. The story mode is fucked up, but the fighting system itself is pretty good.

I'd definitely recommend both Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory since you aren't buying them, because although they're worth the money if you find them at a good price, there's virtually no replay value.

I second the Castlevania games (as usual :\).

Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (I actually did not like Dawn of Sorrow but I don't think I gave it a fair shot and it is probably the better game)

Yes Dawn of Sorrow is, in many ways, the better game. It's just that, Portrait of Ruin had so much potential for being much better than Dawn of Sorrow, but they just didn't use that potential to it's full extent. For example, a lot of the level designs lacked. They just felt like they were shoved in only to make the game larger. They could've been more creative with the stages themselves, like at least give the Egypt stage a bit of a heat effect (like the ones in Sonic & Knuckles) or make the London (or London-esque) stages more than just a bakery and butchery with an occasional chapel. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying Portrait of Ruin is bad, I still love it a lot, but in comparison to Dawn of Sorrow it lacks somewhat.

Portrait of Ruin was less Castlemetroid and more CASTLEVANIA X which put off a lot of people... hence why I enjoyed it more.  It was still pretty Castlemetroid but it was much more linear and I enjoyed it because of that.
