There are so many good DS games that it's scary.

Well, the 3 Castlevania games on it are all fantastic.

The Ace Attorney series.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215

Trace Memory

Contact

Dragon Quest 4, 5, and 9 are exceptional RPGs. Chrono Trigger, too.

The Professor Layton series.

Lock's Quest, if you can find it.

Advance Wars, both of them.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Pokemon, of course. I recommend Platinum above all else.

And a bunch more than I'm missing.

I reccomend Contact.

It's a sci-fi RPG that just shits on the 4th wall a lot.

Hells...f**king...yeah.
Seriously, if you like puzzles, cool mini-games and good stories it's about as good as you can get. Strategy games? Advance Wars Dual Strike. Adventure game logic applied to the courtroom? Phoenix Wright. And hopefully soon, JRPGs with good stories? Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. However, I would recommend Golden Sun and Golden Sun The Lost Age for GBA if you have an original DS with the GBA slot.

Unfortunately, action games are hard to find on DS because the hardware just isn't up to it. But I've never found that a problem. I find it more fun to think than to shoot things until I'm dripping with my own testosterone.

Other then what the above people had said, I suggest Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Track, Phantasy Star Zero Advance Wars and maybe Golden Sun Dark Dawn.

There's some good action games on DS, too. Contra 4 is great arcadey fun (though it's not available in the PAL regions), and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is decent while it lasts.

Then there's Kirby Super Star Ultra. That game is handheld platforming at its finest.

I know, I looked back at this topic to find what others recommended and everyone keeps recommending all the really great games I get worked up about when my friends with an Xbox question why I'm not playing the latest Halo game.

Well, I guess I was a bit late to the party here, but Professor Layton is a fantastic series. I've also been having a lot of fun with Phoenix Wright and there's always Pokemon. Advanced Wars is also a good series if you like turn based stuff.

But the DS Harvest Moon games are glitchy messes. In my experience, at least. The GBA ones would suffice.
You're definitely right about the first one (though I had only one problem with it, the cooking festival glitched).
I havn't seen any glitches in island of happiness though.

But in saying all that, if you can get your hands on More/Friends of Mineral Town, I say hell yeah go for it.

The World Ends With You. Awesome RPG.

Elite Beat Agents. That game is just all kinds of awesome!

Megaman Starforce games if you are into Megaman. I don't find them too bad.
