ds

dawn of sorrow: the least interesting out of the ds games imo. but still a good game.


snes

super castlevania 4: i always forget how good this game is. still wows me every time.

ninja warriors: i really like the style and gamepley of this one. gets hard pretty early on but still a satisfying experience, even in defeat.

tetris 2: good puzzle game.

This is the first time I've seen that Chrono Trigger hasn't aged well. What makes you say that?

combo attacks are basic; The time travel plot is novel and well integrated with your party of characters, but there seems to be a limit of what you can do and where you can go within the game's world. I don't really like how the enemies are hiding/part of the mazes/dungeons. It was a great game for when it was first released, but it shows it's age now.

Nintendo DS
- Don King Boxing
The boxing mini game in Flash Focus left me wanting a full game, with touch screen control, of that sport pretty badly, so, after reading several reviews of the various boxing games available on the DS, this one seemed to best fit the bill. You jab with taps, throw hooks with horizontal swipes, uppercuts with vertical motions, and hold down the L shoulder button, in combination with stylus movements, to dodge or block, which works out pretty well in my opinion. I'd prefer cartoony Nintendo Punchout action to this more realistic take on the sport, but, it's a good game of fisticuffs. Hot ring girls too. And, man, I think this is the first boxing game I've purchased since George Foreman's KO Boxing on the Sega Genesis back in the 90s!
- DropCast
Puzzle game similar to Super Collapse. I totally suck at it though and can't even get past the first stage!
- Escape the Museum
Not to be confused with Night at the Museum. This is find-the-hidden-objects mixed with point-and-click adventure game puzzles, with the goal of reuniting a mother with her young daughter, both of whom are trapped in the crumbling museum.
- Harry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure
Very cool and creative combination of an action platformer and match-3 puzzle game with lots of British humor. You have to keep switching back-and-forth between the two screens' different gameplay styles to manage enemies, health, and power-ups.
- Mazes of Fate
Enhanced port of the 1st person RPG on the GBA of the same name which now sports fully polygonal dungeons and enemies.
- Monkey Madness: Island Escape
Light gun game where you blast a bunch of filthy primates. Rather than just tapping the touchscreen to fire, you have to move the crosshairs around with the stylus and shoot with the L button--kind of a strange control scheme, but, it works. The constantly screeching monkeys will drive you apeshit though.
- TrackMania DS
Pretty good racing game with a robust track editor/creator.


Nintendo Gameboy Advance
- Mario Kart Super Circuit
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
Almost finished with this one, but I expect there will probably be a fair amount of bonus content, after completing the main quest, that will keep me busy for a while longer.

DS Mario Kart is one of the very best in the series. She has good taste.

I agree. Its my favorite Mario Kart. My list is:

Mario Kart DS
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 64

Last night, my kiddo and I spent about an hour playing Mario Kart 7. She's real bad at it so I was playing the stage in reverse to give her a chance.

*also, MK Advance has not aged well...

How old is your little girl? I agree - an excellent game for kids. Some cool courses on there. I regret selling it to half price books years ago.
