For people who dont have a Nintendo DS yet you should go out and buy one. If you are a casual games go grab a DS lite cause they are cheap now and if you are a hardcore game get a dsi xl cause I believe that 3D gaming is not going to be worth it but thats another day. The DS offers a large variety of games that the Xbox360 or PS3 fanboy could even appreciate. Its nice being to take out my DSI anywhere and just play a game for a couple of hours that does not contain me shooting someone not to say that there are not good shooter games on ds (I.E . Metroid). Games need to embrace other games also which will help this industry grow and keep gaming around forever. DS offers a plethora of games to satistfy any games need. You can tease your brain around with one of the Professor Layton games or enjoy a nice music game like Rythme Heaven or Elite Beat Angents what ever your case maybe here is my top 11 DS games you should go out and buy for your system.
