Nice:D Though I would've picked a different game in place of Yoshi's Island, like Puzzle Quest or Metroid Prime Hunters.

Yes Congratz on the ds lite. Good choice of games too. The next game(s) you should get are pokemon, animal crossing, metroid prime hunters. mario kart (must have), new super mario bros. Just for some ideas

Thanks guys, I'm a huge Castlevania fan, and Final Fantasy fan as well. Any great RPG's and adventure games out there you guys recommend? What about accessories? I will need a car charger, a case for it and the games...etc.

Oh yeah guys...I find it really hard taking out the games out of the case, and putting them back in. Is there a simple way to just click them in without straining and almost breaking the case!! Lol...

:lol: I've only had my DS for about two weeks:D I did figure out that to get the games out easy, you push them towards the left and then pull up. As for accesories, I would get a case, screen protectors (Hori Screen Protectors; play-asia) and maybe a pack of extra styluses.

I think you should get that mini breif case for your ds for at futureshop, it is very well protective. I don't think you should get screen portectors because when you take them off they leave sticky stuff. Also I don't think you need a car charger because the battery lasts for a good 10-15 hours so you just have to charge it before you go on a trip. As for the case for the games, just with your fingers, pull back on the tab things and pull the game out.  :) But seriously you need to get mario kart even if you don't have wifi :):)

I just got one today too! I work at Sears and they blocked Gamespot and IGN on our internet access, so I bought a DS for work. I wanted black, but our store only had white in stock. I picked up Final Fantasy III. It's nice to own a Nintendo system again. My 360 is still my favorite, but I'm excited about all the DS and GBA games I get to catch up on. It's also nice to be able to play Metroid, Zelda, and Mario games again.

con-grats man. Very good games but i also agree that mario kart is a 100% must have game. Also look at metroid and if you like puzzle sorts of games try ace pheonix (either 1 or 2, there both awesome) and you most def cant look past good old tetris :)

I just got another DSLite (an Onyx black one for a change).  I gave my white one to my little brother as a birthday gift.  The thing is, I'm afraid to open it...I'm waiting for the screen protectors by Hori that I ordered from Play-Asia to come in the mail (I have no idea how long it'll take to deliver it, although shipping occured in less than 24h after I placed my order).  Are screen protectors necessary to apply on a relatively new DS?  I was thinking of keeping it closed until the shields come, that way it'll be brand new (literally) with the Hori protectors applied right away.  I'm sorta dying with an unopened DS box by my PC, waiting for the protectors to arrive. LOL.

Great choice, I'll be getting a black one soon too! Since my white one's hinge cracked (take care of yours). Great choice of games too! Get MKDS if you have access to wi-fi too. Some other good games are MvsDK2 and soon to be Pokemon!

I honestly do not see a need for screen protectors as long as you take care of your DS and don't push hard on the screen (there is no need to, it is very responsive).  Those screens can take a beating though.  I have an original DS and a DS Lite that I bought at launch and neither one of them has any blemishes on the screens.  I just clean them occasionally with a soft lens cleaner and they look as good as new.  I think putting a screen protector on there might actually be worse because it could leave a sticky residue on the screen when it is taken off.

Congratz on the new DS Lite!!! Might I say you have excellent taste in games. I would recommend FFIII, Super Mario 64 DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Pokemon Pearl or Diamond as your next choices.

I can't speak for Yoshi's game because i aint played it, but I have NSMB and it rocks. I will say if you have wi-fi, your going to wish you picked up a wi-fi compatible game, because neither of those 2 games are wi-fi.
