Ok, so you got yourself a lovely and highly portable Nintendo DS Lite, the grand Etrian Odyssey RPG keeps avoiding the Old World, and you have already bought Brain Training for your parents, any conceivable Nintendogs/Pokemon combination for your children and/or nephews, and have already tried a variety of silly mini-game collections. Now, what? What’s left for a proper gamer to do with the thing, especially if he/she lacks any sort of pressing familial ties and doesn’t feel like going retro? Simple, really: try 20 of the best DS titles that have already been made available in Europe while avoiding to work in any meaningful (to your boss at least) manner. Here’s a list that should come in handy, in no particular order:

- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
- New Super Mario Bros.
- Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
- Hotel Dusk: Room 215
- Advance Wars: Dark Conflict
- The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
- Trauma Center: Under the Knife DS
- Mario Kart DS
- Elite Beat Agents
- FIFA Soccer 2007 DS
- Worms Open Warfare 2 DS
- Meteos
- Metroid Prime: Hunters
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
- Picross
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
- Sonic Rush DS
- Animal Crossing: Wild World
