First of all forum rules, you need to use this thread: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26026246&tag=topics;title Second of all, there are some mature games on the DS, like dementium, resident evil and a few others, not to mention some porn games exclusive for the japan. Third, i don`t feel that the DS is childish, i`m 19 and i really enjoy it, you don`t need to keep playing games with constant gore and swearing to prove that you are a man. -_-

To be honest, the DS has some quality titles such as metroid, COD4, W@W and so on. But i must agree it has a loada Shovelware on it. Take a look at its library and see if anything catches your eye.

To be very succinct: Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.

That game and it's two proper sequels (not Apollo Justice, which in my opinion reeks to high heaven) are definitely worth the price of entry for the Nintendo DS. Also, I highly recommend Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime. It may look cutesy, but the gameplay is killer.

Just because the games are made to attract a younger audience doesnt mean they're childish. Lots of the games on the DS that are seen as childish are actually very fun and enjoyable. Id give them a chance. Otherwise, look to GTA China Town Wars.

I'm 36, been playing games since Pong came out. I wish I would have known the Nintendo DS is for "kiddies" as I've been having a blast with mine. I have 70 games I believe and can honestly say that almost everyone of them have been fun.

Here's what I think you're issue is, you sound like your brainwashed that if a game isn't a thug simulator with lots of blood and guts it's not entertaining and fun. Maybe it's me, but growing up in the middle 80's to early 90's when gaming was just coming into it's own pretty much every game out would be classified as "kiddy" by your standards. They seemed to be fun for everyone back then.. what happened? Oh yeah, someone had the bright idea of saying I need adult situations and blood in my games or i'm a wuss and a kid.. it caught on and now every 6 year old wants to play GTA. Sad sad world.

Anyway, it sounds like you're just trolling and the DS isn't for you. I'd suggest gentlemans clubs.

the ds is not childish at all. just ask the many people on these forums alone that are much older that use ds's..

i'm amusedly offended by this. i guess if the ds is childish for a teenager, that makes me.. infantish?

There are a ton of awesome games for the DS. By saying it's too kiddy, you're presenting yourself as a narrow-minded tool. Expand your horizons a bit, and enjoy games for what they are made for, good ole fashioned fun.

the ds is a toy, you will find it at a toy store more often than not. it even looks like a toy, toys are meant for children thus they have that degree of childishness to them. playing games on an ipod or psp at least looks cooler.

the ds has its place however. games are games and everyone likes to play games whatever his age. adults still play "GO FISH".

to answer the question however, if you dont have an interest in the ds already then you probably shouldnt buy it. how in the fuk and why in the fuk would you want to be convinced into buying something that you obviously do not want?

Mate whether your playing games in public with a psp or a ds at the end of the day most people will probably think that your a nerd. One doesn't look cooler than the other

This sounds like it should fall under recommendation thread, but since you ask, there's Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars the best addictive game I know for the DS.

I think men that play DSs are sexy. :/

So either you could be a grubby fat guy laying n your recliner with a PSP, or a child magent with a DS. You decide.

The DS has a wide majority of games. You just need to know where to look for them.

So every fella who has a DS is considered sexy?Man,imagine all those ugly fellas out there who has a DS right now must be saying "i'm sexy!!!"

Touche. lol. Well, i`m not going to say it much or else this will get locked, but there is a bit 0f truth in that affirmation... not exactly in the sexy way, but the DS players have higher amounts of persons who likes to be sociable than the PSP, mainly due to the fact that the DS has some casual games like the coach or mama games which atract persons of all the kinds. I saw an article about this on the net, funny, ya know.

Flame: on If you're a teenager, you were probably born in the 90's, grew up with Playstation/ N64, and got serious with gaming when PS2/ Xbox came around correct? I think you are used to graphics and 3D mumbo jumbo, so skip the DS and purchase a PSP. To your original question, I can not recommend to you THE game (unless monopoly DS comes out) since Grand Theft Auto is no Picross which is no Ninja Gaiden or Mario Kart. Comprehende?

Okay, I don't have to much to say since everyone else did a good job of putting you down for your idiocy. But i'm thinking the only reason you made this post was to cause trouble. If you really knew anything about the DS, you wouldn't even be saying this. I mean c'mon, theres a reason why the DS Lite alone sold over 100 million units. Anyways, a game doesn't have to be mature to be fun. Just check the top rated section on the DS page. You'll probably wanna play atleast half of them.

the ds is a toy, you will find it at a toy store more often than not. it even looks like a toy, toys are meant for children thus they have that degree of childishness to them. playing games on an ipod or psp at least looks cooler.

the ds has its place however. games are games and everyone likes to play games whatever his age. adults still play "GO FISH".

to answer the question however, if you dont have an interest in the ds already then you probably shouldnt buy it. how in the **** and why in the **** would you want to be convinced into buying something that you obviously do not want?

hamhero
Congratulations, you managed to make yourself look like an *******. You can find a PSP in a Toys R Us, and no matter where you play games, one system is not "cooler" or "sexier" than another. You need to leave your fanboy-ism in the past, it's not cool to rant on the DS because it is a great handheld, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying the PSP is bad, or the I-Phone, but you can't just assume that because you CAN pick it up in a Toys R Us means it's a child's toy. Once again, way to go.

I agree with him,how could you even say that the nintendo DS is a toy?My grandfather is in his 80's and i introduce him to the DS and ever since then,he took alot of interest in it.The ds isn't a toy,its a system that everyone could enjoy whether they are young or old.

DS= Versatile. There's a little bit of something for everyone. I play anything and everything when I'm in the mood and I have to say I played Picross on DS for months it seemed, and then I played Lunar Knights, and then I turned around and dabbled in some The World Ends With You. Every time I feel like a new game the DS will throw something at me, sometimes it sucks and makes me cringe inwardly, but other times I'm totally thrown back by how much awesome developers can squeeze into those cartridges. In the end, as my opinion is with any console purchase, sit down on a site like GameSpot and look up the genres you like. If you see those genre's matching with the DS, buy it, if not then just don't. Quit listening to what bias people tell you and make the decision for yourself. You'll find yourself surrounded by more stuff you actually like if you do.

The DS's amazing exclusives like Pokemon D/P and New Super Mario Bros, coupled with amazing ports and remakes like Chrono Trigger equals win. DS may very well end up the best system ever. But the PS2... oh, the PS2...

Okay, every console I know about is sold at Toys 'R' Us in the same section. And how can playing games on an iPod or PSP look cooler? Do people even PLAY games on the PSP? I haven't been for a while(partially because I lost my charger). The PSP has a bunch of features that you'll use once and never use again. And with a library of games thats making people call the PSP "dead", the only thing you'll constantly use on the PSP is the movie feature... rarely. No wonder people hack theirs so much. Their too bored with it to do anything else. And then the DS/ DS Lite is mainly for gaming but the DSi has alot of features the PSP has. The only difference is you'll use them more than once because theres more to offer than just playing your music or looking at your pictures. You can actually play around and explore sounds or doodle and mess around with photos, as well as take pictures.

You need to convince yourself that the DS is not childish. Only a child or pseudo gamer would feel it is only for children.
