Would it be better to buy like 3-5 GBA games for a road trip or to buy one or two DS games?

Edit in terms of specifics...AC:WW vs like Mega Man battle network 3, Golden Sun Tales of Phantasia and NHL 2002

If it's a long trip, bring more games. If not, go for DS games. They're more relevant nowadays.

RPGs then you can mix and match. Other than that it really depends on the genre.

TC, don't forget to take into account that reading while in a car is unbearable. Don't get a JRPG, for example (except for Pokemon and its joke of a plot).

Edit 1: I'd recommend something that isn't action-packed too, so you can look away from the screen whenever you want, in case you get claustrophobic (spelling?) or just uncomfortable. Pokemon!

Edit 2: Some games that fit into the restrictions I set in my original post and first edit:

Pokemon D/P
Advanced Wars (any)
Custom Robo Arena
Puzzle Quest
Chibi Robo: Park Patrol

I don't know how long your road trip is, but if you're getting ds games, I would not particularly recommend ninja gaiden ds for on the road. Not that it is a bad game (in fact, I thoroughly enjoyed it), it's just that I was able to beat the game in five hours flat (not even speed rushing through the game neither, and on my first try as well).

Actually, depending on how long your trip is, that might be the perfect game for you to get. And then get one other game that's a bit longer, and you should be set~

Get some DS games.

On a side note, I actually need a game for an upcoming car trip, any suggestions?
