The Professor Layton games are pretty fun too, if you like puzzles and brain teasers. I've also sunk a stupid amount of time into Puzzle Quest 2, but that game is better on other platforms.
Gotta go peek at my collection to see what else I liked. I do remember being underwhelmed by the DS Zelda games. They're good, but not great like some of the rest of that series.
Fortunately the remakes of gen 3 are solid gold and you can get generations 4-6 for your 2DS. I would especially recommend Heart Gold or Soul Silver for you so you can finally defeat Red (which I know you have wanted to do for ages)!
If you're into music making at all there's a full featured DS version of the Korg MS-10 synth, with patch cables and sequencer...the whole works.
It's not that the Zelda games were bad (I only have the original DS, so haven't tried the 3ds ones) but the structure was pretty terrible. In the Phantom Hourglass, there's a dungeon you have to keep going back to and you have to redo the early levels several times. And it's not a very fun dungeon. The other one with the train was better, but still not up to snuff compared to earlier games. I saw they are remaking Majora's Mask for 3DS. That game freaking rules.
Now.
Seriously.
Right. NOW!
(Oh, and as far as Zelda games go, "A Link Between Worlds" is good.)
- Ghost Trick (DS): A puzzle/adventure game with a great supernatural mystery story and fantastic character animations.
- Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (DS): Another puzzle/adventure game with lots of plot twists and suspense. Sadly, I can't recommend the sequel because of the unfixed save corruption bug.
- Bravely Default (3DS): A JRPG with tons of content and an interesting combat system where defending is actually useful. You can also turn off random battles! Ah, the joy of walking around...
- Pushmo/Crashmo (eShop): Super adorable puzzle games. Great if you love brain teasers and having an irresistible desire to own plushies of all the main characters.
Looks like they aren't.We don't like to talk about it. >.>;;
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Smash Bros
Cave Story
It's an "okay" game. I played it, I enjoyed it, but next to the original two, it's just not that good. Also, it ends on another cliffhanger, and they have yet to announce a sequel. So unless you're prepared to throw your DS at the wall after you beat it... >.>;;
As for me personally, I can't recommend enough the Metroid games. Metroid Zero mission is hands down one of my all time favorite games for any hand held. It is the best of the Metroid games, offering everything that made Metroid a great 2D side scroller. And it comes with the original game as an unlockable. Metroid Fusion was also a good game, though not as good as Zero Mission.
I also much enjoyed Mario DS and several of the Zelda games. And there is even an Alien Side Scroller game that wasn't bad. Can't remember it's name but it was fun and suitably creepy (for a side scroller).
Unlike @procco, I can't recommend Okamiden, mostly because it doesn't hold up to Okami. Everything is *literally* on a smaller scale and everything lacks the epicness the first game had. I never brought myself to finish Okamiden, simply because the levels, the story and the characters are so much more uninteresting than in Okami. I think it just didn't work for me because the prequel set the bar so high, so I don't really know
Haha, I do agree, Rune Factory or Harvest Moon in general is not for everyone xD
The farming is the core part of the game, you can't really skip it, since all parts of the game are connected to each other.
Regarding Okamiden, I can't of course give you a good answer on that, since I played Okami first.
But I *think* it should be ok if you play Okamiden first. No promises though. I doubt they will ever bring Okami to the PC.
Aside from that, Okamiden should be available for very cheap by now, since it was a normal DS game, not 3DS.
BTW, I think someone mentioned Chrono Trigger earlier, they did port that one to the DS. I didn't play that version, but I heard it brings a bunch of new quests and stuff. You would have to research that one yourself
Bomberman Ds
Clubhouse games
Goldeneye rogue agent
I can recommend these single player games:
Castlevania (all of them)
Radiant historian
The world ends with youyou
Advance wars (both of them)
I just busted out the family's ds catalog last week and we played some multiplayer with the kids. I have a big collection and can recommend some more later.
Also if you are a serious final fantasy player, there was a ds one I played called 4 heroes of light that was a fun little romp.
I liked phantom hourglass even with that silly temple you returned to because it was only a few floors. I never finished spirit tracks.
I'll keep thinking and flip open my case when I get home.
