Out of interest, if you've played NSMB will you find SPP a bit 'samey' (or vice versa)? Or, despite being 2D platformers (which I love if done well) are they still very different animals in terms of levels, general gameplay, etc?

Tis true. Mazza 64 DS is well worth having.

I also have New Super Mario Bros, Tetris DS and Big Brain Academy.
Next on my get list is Advance Wars DS.

Don't ever hesitate buying NSMB if you like platform games. NSMB is excellent for a normal play through (stop and go style careful play), but really shines in speed runs and in giving you the chance to play it in your own style. The level design is very flexible. On the whole it's more in the spirit of the original SMB (fast and short levels) than SMW, but with more imaginative and deep level design.

Instant classic in my book.

I traded it in, I just didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Although that could have been cause I was rubbish at it. I'd just get frustrated at the girl being hungry every five seconds and having to fetch more food instead of exploring.

minish cap is brilliant if you haven't already played it.

...i'm quite surprised at all the 'Mariokart DS is the best Mariokart ever!' posts... isn't the multiplayer flawed due to that 'snaking' thing and character imbalance? I've never played it - what's going on?

Zelda: A Link To The Past just dropped through my letterbox for the GBA this morning. I never played it on SNES, so its all new to me.

Wow.

Perfect game design and beautiful 2D graphics. Although I'm actually playing it on my GBM, I'd heartily recommend it for your DS if you've not played it.

Lovely, lovely.

If your into fighting games I would import Jump Superstars and Bleach: Souten ni Kakeru Unmei. They are both kinda Smash Brotherish, actually Jump Superstars really is and Bleach has more of a lean towards SNK like fighters. If anything, Treasure made Bleach so you know it has to be good

It also has WiFi play so you can hop online and get your ass handed to you by some Jap

Don;t think you're likely to find that cheap, it's a bit rare that one.
