DS/GBA game recommendations ?

[doc_bean]

Age of Empire is great fun, and nobody should be without mariocart and metroid prime: hunters. Nintendogs is a guilty pleasure that should not be missed, but don't show it to your mum because she would be worried. As for the GBA, get the fire emblem games, they are GREAT. Baldurs Gate is also fun for some hack&slash on the go.

AoE sounds interesting, allthough I'm not really a fan of the PC series, does it play a bit like advance wars (quick, tactical) ? MP:H just looks uncomfortable and I don't have wi-fi (maybe one of my neighbours does, I'd have to try it someday ) without wi-fi Mariokart doesn't look that interesting either. I'll see if I can get a good deal on it on ebay or in some shop.

Fire emblem games seem hard to find, even second hand they're expensive. Is there word of a Fire Emblem DS by any chance ?

Also, for a budget title Brain Age is loads of fun imo- and it's supposedly good for your brain...

They're selling it at full price here, I'll look into it when the price goes down. I just can't get myself to part with €40 for a game like this (or puzzle games like Meteos or Tetris, for that matter).

EDIT: and thanks for changing the title froggy !
