I take it you like puzzle games, would never have played metroid pinball....they should remake super metroid!!!! i liked the arcade version of bust-a-move, is it the same?
I got MPP with my DS, it was way better than I expected. Very fun... for a pinball game anyway.

For the Win!
My favorite games on the DS include the following. I would also be willing to say if you don't have these titles I would argue that they are must have titles.
Panzer Tactics DS
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Star Fox Command
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart DS
Brief Explanations:
Panzer Tactics is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE if you like anything WWII and Turn-Based. The depth and tactical considerations of this game are incredible. In all honesty I bought a DS when I first heard about this game, which was a year before it came out and it was worth the wait as well as the purchase. This game could very well deserve its own thread and an eGO division (lol j/k).
Of course while waiting for it I had to get something to pass the time, which lead to Advance Wars DS. If you are a fan of the series this is the best of them all. If not, again if you like anything turn based you will love this. My favorite CEO combo? I like to buy cheap units with Collin then switch in Kanbei.
Star Fox Command and Zelda are both two very awesome titles which utilize the DS in several unique and functional ways.
New Super Mario Bros: The old invented in a great new way...also possibly the funnest quick-paced multiplayer out there.
Mario Kart - It's Mario Kart!
Worms is just like Armageddon on the PC, GTA is amazingly smooth, although it is off of a top view, so its really more of just a game for dealing you know whats back and forth, completing missions and just crashing cars, kinda lacking tbh, but still amusing crashing into cops >.>

RPGs?
Final Fantasy III and IV have been remade on the DS. I have played III and it's a great challenge. I haven't played IV but we all know the FF games are classics.
Fire Emblem just released a game on the DS as well. It is a remake of the Original Fire Emblem on the NES only released in Japan.
The Pokemon franchise is very RPGish.
Those are all I can think of at the moment. Don't get me started on the countless GBA RPGs that you can still play on the DS! That would extend the list greatly!
Open Warfare 2. Apparently the first one was really bad.
Also, I found Star Fox Command extremely hard - it's like I can't aim no matter what, and I never have enough ships/lives. Maybe if I practiced more I could get better at it... but I'd rather not >_> it's a game to me, not a commitment.
I loved Tactics for PS and FFT:A but I never liked A2, w/o roaming clan fights i couldnt power train my members to be super stars.... that is if i didnt get far enough b/c that killed my intrest in it... the lack of roaming clan battles.
Another game Wario Ware Touch; Fund mindless mini games ! Mario Party.... w/o the party.
You're not missing out on much in FFTA2. The new races are shallow and the new classes will fail in comparison to your (I'm sure) ninja/paladins hybrids. Plot is worthless and... Well, there isn't any. The entire plot is quite literally based around doing "any" busywork until the end.
And considering I'm an Ivalice nerd, was disappointed this didn't point any more fingers at the cataclysm between FFXII and FFT that killed the furry races.
I still play FFTA more.
Edit: Oh, right, my favorite game: For DS, I think the one I play the most is the Resident Evil port. The controls are just as bad as they were on PS1 so it feels right. The "new" game mode is fairly... Stupid, it gives you a ton more supplies and there's a hack-n'-slash event sometimes when you go in doors where you stab at zombies coming at you on the screen with the stylus. But, it has the original intact on there too.
