My tastes are rather varied when it comes to DS games, some of the ones i have totally enjoyed are....
Keroro RPG
Ninokuni
Hokago shounen
Taiko no tatsujin (all 3 of them)
Shounen kininden tsumuji
Minna no conveni
Zombie daisuki
Nanashi no game & nanashi ni game me
Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Makai Daibouken DS
Tottado! Yowiko no Mujintou Seikatsu
To be honest i could keep listing games, the Japanese DS library has so many greats. There's lots to choose from if you like unusual oddball games. which for me is great as i love stuff like that.

I sold away most of my DS carts, but I've kept three (w/box and manual and such)
Tetris DS (the GOAT)
999
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
quite possibly the strongest game library of all time, and these three I will never let go

Partly because of easy emulation, but it was also part of a fairly large scale selling of much of my physical games media in order to generate funds to swoop in at the last second of a kickstarter for one of my fav local musicians and get him over the mark with a handsome sum of currency

Wait for a Black Friday sale on S-E's online shop. I think they went for $6.99-$9.99 each last time.

Yep, where I got most of my Square Enix DS games.
Still need to get a lot of DS titles. Hopefully even with DS Carts stopping production the stock won't dry up for a while and prices stay reasonable.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if the Dragon Quest games were next on the list for reprints. I'd actually be surprised if they weren't on the way.
I'm curious about the reprints - is there any difference or distinction from the original prints by SE? Are they made at the same facilities as the original or a different place? I guess it doesn't make sense to me that a smaller outfit like VGP gets these but not Amazon or GameStop...

And yet more DS games arrived, finally have replacements for my fist of the north star & machigai museum 2 can add the janky worn copies to my trade/sell junk pile.
Was suprisingly hard to get hold of a complete reasonably priced copy of you can pen kanji training as all the copies on amazon were incomplete & someone had jacked up the prices of the new ones to 8000+ yen, eventually found a mint used one that had the outer box.
And this weeks games listed as new but they forgot to mention that they had been away on a 2 week holiday in the sun. Are colpile ds & Itouke no urawaza, had to order replacement copies of those 2 but thankfully they are cheap games. On the plus side i finally managed to get hold of a cheap copy of rittai picross i have been after a copy of this for a while now.

I asked in the GBA thread but doesn't seem like much discussions around games and didn't get a response so I'll try in here. Is it better to get the Mega Man Zero games on GBA or just pick up the Mega Man Zero collection DS?
I'm not sure Gamestop won't end up with some. In fact Infinite Space has been in stock online pretty frequently over tge lasy week.

But they dont ship outside the US right?
I prefer the DS collection for the improved sound and better button placement, but there are enough small changes between them that it's hard to say that any one version is definitive. I would just go with DS.

So I sat down and cataloged my whole DS collection yesterday, decided its time to finally know what I do and don't have so I don't end up buying doubles again.
I have 255 DS games >.>
Thats alot of DS games
Thing is, I'm sure I missing a tonne of good ones.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably go with the DS version than especially since I like complete games so the Zero Collection will save me a decent amount.

Are those clear cases PAL region? Not sure I like that. Looks cheap.
I think the first and 2nd Ranger games had it but the 3rd didn't.

Yup a good mix of everything in there, scary thing is there are still a fair deal of games I want that I'm missing ._.That's quite a mix there, seems you have games from all the 4 main regions. Hehe love it

More DS goodness today, something extremely rare. No not the games, it was actually an ebay seller that bothered to list the games with actual pictures instead of a stock photo, not that often seen nowdays. They were also selling these at an amazingly good price & not the usual overpriced ebay figures they are also in like new condition.
The frogman show is especially hard to get hold of nowdays without the cover been faded, also not that many sports games in my collection as i really don't care for sports that much but curling is weird enough to tempt me.

More DS games today, sadly one of the replacements i bought to replace the faded cover of the one i already have is also faded as well ARRRGH damn it. Thankfully it was a £4 game so not too bad, will i ever get a non faded copy of colpile?
Anyway todays delights include the man whore simulator from the simple DS series, one of the other talking cookbooks to go with the one i already use & a rather lovely game called majou ni naru or a witch's wish if you go by it's western release.
Finally a non faded copy of itouke no urawaza DS, yet another bloody faded colpile & a copy of the rather fun kurupoto.

The viewing angles on an original DS system were terrible. I could barely see the bottom screen with it sitting on the desk.
Any difference between the OG and reprint?
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
For some reason, I feel like DS collecting has finally gotten kinda exciting, now that they've stopped making the cards for it, and we're seeing the last go-round for reprints. This is the time to be making moves.
I got mine too but I don't have an original to compare to. My guess is no though... There's no new artwork or symbols saying VGP exclusive or anything of sort. I got a few of the PSP games and they look perfect.
Also, New Disgaea and Rhapsody DS reprints courtesy of VGP.

Just err a few DS things today LOOL.
Finally a slime speaker stand of my very own, managed to get one for a sane price, the sound quality is pretty great. Perfect for playing taiko on. The rupee thing is a spirit tracks feather stylus, the usb stick is a pretty powerful DS tool for ripping both the roms & the game saves off original carts, it has a lot higher compatability for backing saves off the more exotic DS carts compared to my other save dongle. Also a few game guides. And a magnet stand which is pretty nifty.
Mr Slime is so comfy to rest my hands on
Perfect for when i want to use my cooking games in the kitchen, the stylus is a nice touch.
Destiny links, yumeiro patissiere my sweets cooking, picross DS & marsh
Saru saru, culdcept ds, otodamaster, gintama DS
Mezase tsuri master DS, yosumin, mushishi, and FINALLY an unfaded copy of colpile
Aoi don, a unfaded replacement copy of saga no gabai baachan & a fun puzzler called tashiten
Pretty pleased to get decent copies of marsh & mushishi as they are pretty expensive if you want new copies. Had to patiently wait till i saw a decent used copy as i'm not paying 10,000yen for a sealed mushishi.

I picked up a fresh one recently as well for a not great price (almost $100) but buying a brand new in store in 2016 just feels great. I thought about buying a used one for cheap and swapping out parts but used handhelds just seem so gross to me.
I really prefer the XL in general but that d-pad really sucks at diagonals so for playing say Dragon Quest 9 or Final Fantasy 4 I'd rather use a DS Lite.

You're in for a treat; the old games feel much better to play.

Started collecting DS games last year, and this is what I have now:
I've only finished two of them so far. There's still tons of games I want to buy though, especially on the JRPG front as the DS seems to have a lot of those.
My next purchases will probably be FFIV, "Flower, Sun, and Rain", and more Phoenix Wright stuff.

Something tells me you *really* like RPG.
I recommend Radiant Historia (IMO best original RPG for DS) and Dragon Quest Zenithia trilogy (4,5 and 6 especially the first two).

Haha yeah.. but I do want to branch out and buy some non-RPGs too. Open to suggestions on that front!
Thanks for the recs, I'll check those out.
Whoa great catch. I got the reprint but don't have my sealed OG copy easily accessible to compare...
