(SPECIFIC) DS Game Suggestions?

Hey, I'm looking for suggestions for older (not within the last...couple months, I guess?) games that don't require the use of some of the DS's functions...especially the mic...the touch screen is fine, though...anyways, I've got these games, so do NOT bother suggesting them...

Brain Age - Yeah, I couldn't do any of the mic stuff, but it was still enjoyable...got boring after I unlocked everything though...

Pokémon: Diamond Version - Um, yeah, I'm gonna say don't suggest Pearl either, m'kay?

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller - Don't suggest Nightmare Troubadour or the Championship game, plz.

I'm looking mainly for RPGs, but anything that's GOOD is cool...I can always decide once I see the suggestions too, right? lol

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Why older games?

Oh, well. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is worth your time. Advance Wars DS is also an older DS title that's pretty good. I'd also suggest The World Ends With You, but that released recently.

Don't forget Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It hardly relies on touch-screen functions and it's pure awsome ^^ Also, you'd enjoy FFIII so get it. Oh, and I liked Heroes of Mana. It's a SRPG so you'd be using the touch-screen, but I enjoyed it.

Which Castlevania do you guys think is better? Are they a lot like Aria of Sorrow? I keep getting lost in that one...V_V

Well, like I mentioned, I already got FFIII...and the Touch Screen is fine...Heroes of Mana isn't like Children of Mana, right? I think I tried that one and wasn't impressed...SRPG though, huh...strange that the Seiken Densetsu series would go in that direction after being such an Action/Adventure RPG mainstay...

THEY'RE BOTH GREAT!!! Dawn of Sorrow takes place two years after AoS, so the gameplay is a bit the same; you play as Soma Cruz and absorb enemies powers and use them in battle. But an added "Magic Seal" mechanic uses the touch screen...only on boss battles though. And PoR, you control two new characters, and that's the only thing that's changed!

And the "Mana series" is getting a little too strategic for my liking. I miss "The Sword of Mana" days. But HoM was entertaining enough for me.

Hmmm...I just got Heroes of Mana...idk if I like it very much...It's more of an RTS than an SRPG...and since I've already got FFXII: Revenant Wings, idk how much I want another RTS since I don't even really like the genre very much to begin with...

Hrmm, I think Phoenix Wright might work, except for the last chapter in the first game. (It's long and boring anyways.) I've play through Phoenix Wright using mostly buttons anyways.

Apollo Ace Attorney won't work, it requires a lot of pen work.

Pen work? Does that mean the touch screen? Cause, like I said, that's completely fine...basically as long as it doesn't use the mic, I'm fine, I think...and I'm pretty sure that WarioWare motion sensing game wouldn't work for me either...and if HEARING the sound wasn't a big deal, that'd certainly be a plus (that's just because my lappy's sound gave up the ghost on me recently, tho...V_V)...

I'd like to try some of the Ace Attorney games, but, yeah, I've heard parts of them require mic use...

Get Dragon Quest monsters, if it's an RPG you're craving. It's not as epic on scale as DQ8, but it's pretty fun, and occasionally challenging.

Yeah, I was looking at Joker a while ago, but had heard only lackluster things from people...but perhaps they were only comparing it to DQVIII and not the other Monster games or whatever...I've also got Pokemon games going, so I dunno how much I want another one of those either!

Oh yeah, what about Phantom Hourglass? Advance Wars? Megaman whatever? Do any of them use the mic? I liked the GBA versions of...all of those, really. Minish Cap, hellz yeah!
