What are some really decent or good games for DS? Besides Pokemon and Phoenix Wright... cause I've already been playing those religiously lately. XD Need something new though.

I've recently played and liked:
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Nostalgia
Summon Night: Twin Age

Summon Night could of been more challenging, but I still liked it. And Nostalgia is rather straightforward, but interesting. Castlevania, is good but some of the glyphs were rather useless and other really good ones were gotten too late in the game.

Dragon Quest games are usually pretty good. There's a version of DQ5 for DS. I played the PS2 version, and liked it all right. (4, and 9 also for DS, but I've not played them.)

A few games on my to play list are:
Atelier Annie
Avalon Code
Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time
Final Fantasy Fables - Chocobo Tales
Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals
Rune Factory

MegaMan Star Force 1/2/3
MegaMan Zero Collection
Professor Layton (especially since a Phoenix Wright/Layton crossover game is coming out soon)
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Fullmetal Alchemist - Dual Sympathy
Rhapsody - A Musical Adventure
Disgaea DS
Lunar Knights
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy - The Four Heroes of Light

And of course you mustn't forget about such game series icons as Mario and The Legend of Zelda. If you like this kind of games then I recommend Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

The World Ends With You- Great music, fun battle system and cohesive story line.
Geometry Wars: Galaxies- I am a big fan of Robo-Tron and Smash-TV type of games.
Castlevania Games- Loved the formula of Symphony of the Night brought in to these games.
Puzzle Quest- Just Plain Addicting!
Bleach: Blade of Fate- Fun fighting system with a couple of really strong characters.
Elite Beat Agents- Enjoyable songs and funny pass/fail story points.
Puzzle Planet League- Next best thing to Tetris Attack(Great party game with gamer friends)

Scribblenauts is a great time burner. If you haven't heard of it, Google it - its a bit difficult to describe.

Another DS title to look out for is Avalon Code. It has great visuals for a DS game (looks rather like a PS1 game, as a matter of fact) and a very unique gameplay mechanic - you basically have a book that you can use to record info on any item, equipment, person or creature you find ingame. You can then add "tags" to modify their entries - for instance, if Im up against a particularly tough boss, I could just add an "Illness" tag to weaken it, or slap on a few "Gold" tags to my weapons to upgrade them, etc.

Rune Factory 1 & 3 are pretty good as well. Sort of like a mix between Harvest Moon and Zelda. I'd advise starting off with RF1 if you haven't touched the series before - its a great game. RF3 is fun as well and packs a dozen simple but useful gameplay tweaks but is rather short (for a speed gamer - you can still clock over a hundred hours of gameplay if you like to take it slow). Forget about picking up RF2 unless you're the sort that enjoys watching paint dry, or grass grow. Its a rather sad excuse for a RF game.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days is also highly recommended, but only if you're a KH fan. Newcomers won't feel too lost, but they probably won't appreciate the plot twists either. If you're only in it for the gameplay, then rest assured that KH has some of the best button mashing combat you'll ever get on a DS.

... And those are the only games that come to mind right now. I have plenty of other DS games, but most of them are unfinished, so I can't exactly recommend em.

It is, just like it's Wii counterpart. Rather awesome.

Try out a game called 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 doors.

Or grab Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

I'd recommend Rhythm Heaven, a fun musical game with quite a challenge.

Also there's Touch Detective if you like detective games, its a cute game where you play as Mackenzie, and investigate a series of cases in an oddly world full of weird creature with her trusted pet Funghi, a living mushroom.Has cute cartoony graphic with a great storyline.

And if you have ever heard or played Okami (Ps2/Wii), there's a sequel called Okamiden. Not sure when it will come out though, but I'm waiting for it.Can't wait to have an adventure with Chibiterasu.:llb-(42):

Decent DS games beside Pokemon and Phoenix Wright?

Hmm, try...

Dementium 2, guaranteed to rock your worlds! (scare the crap out of me thought),

Or if you feel naughty, try...

Sora no otonashi forte: dreamy seasons, the rub-me-up kind of game. In japanese though, but I think it's still quite easy to navigate =3

Luminous Arc and Luminous Arc 2 are both fun little SRPGs which, whilst not particularly challenging, have a fairly entertaining story, a pleasing art style, and an excellent cast of characters. The second has the more polished gameplay, but the first is better in every other regard.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies would keep you going for quite a while, although it's a bit difficult to play at times due to an almost complete lack of story. It's the closest a JRPG has ever come to being a sandbox game; I dunno if that's your thing, but it might be worth a look-in.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is one of the harder DS games you'll find; the story is quite engaging and, whilst it isn't really as polished as Sacred Stones on the GBA, it has a gritty old-school charm and is more than a little difficult at times, especially if, like me, you don't like your characters dying and staying dead. xD

Izuna 2 - The Unemployed Ninja Returns (Roguelike) - Pretty fun game, a bit more forgiving for the Roguelike genre. Playing it right now...

Phantasy Star Zero - Great RPG, good enough I guess...

Soma Bringer - Closest thing to Diablo 2 on the DS

Lego Battles - RTS on the DS, it's awesome...

Also Hotel Dusk, Last Window, 999, and Professor Layton.
