I just bought a points card worth $20. Any suggestions on games I should buy? I already have Pushmo, Sakura Samurai, Cave Story, Colors 3d, and Tetris.

I'd recommend Game & Watch which has the game Octopus, one of the better Gameboy games I've played. You just move Mario back and forth to avoid an ocotpus and capture gold. Very addictive. No ability to change colour though.

Mario Vs DK Minis March Again is a pretty fun puzzle game.

I'd avoid Fun!Fun! Minigolf Touch - its not really mini golf and its not that fun.

Yes the G&W games are super fun and so retro, I have the two of them, with Mario Land 1, 2, and Link's Awakening. That's all I have from the virtual console and the whole E-Shop. I don't know what else is worth buying.

I just got Prince of Persia, the Gameboy Color version for the Virtual Console for $4.99 and I also recommend that if you like that game or if you like a good platformer.

Not as nice as the original PC version or the SNES version but still pretty fun.

Best part is you can save at any point.

I'm a big fan of Marvel Pinball- four tables based on Captain America, Iron Man, Fantastic 4 and Blade. Most people agree that at least 3 of the tables are really good.

Link's Awakening if you don't already have it in some form. Easily the best thing on the eShop.

Link's Awakening if you haven't played it before would be first. It's classic Zelda in many ways at its best.

Starship Defense is a good tower defense game if you like them.

Super Mario Land 2 is also a great game.

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned already but I really like Pop Island as well. It's sort of like a capture-the-flag version of Mario Kart battle mode. Lots of fun. There is a version called Paperfield, I think, which is meant as sort of expansion pack but can be played stand-alone and is a bit cheaper for some reason so I guess get that. It's nearly exactly the same.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Pushmo/Pullblox yet! It's an awesome puzzle game made by Nintendo. Other than that, get Link's Awakening and VVVVVV

You should check out these threads to see if any of these eShop games catch your interest:

Mutant Mudds Release Thread

Mighty Switch Force Release Thread

Dillon's Rolling Western Release Thread

Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! Release Thread

Ketzal's Corridors Release Thread

Art of Balance TOUCH! Release Thread

Bomb Monkey Release Thread

On the DSiWare side of things, I think you should look into Shantae: Risky's Revenge (a great 2D action platforming game) and Spotto (a nice little physics based game about a bomb throwing duck).

Shantae: Risky's Revenge Video Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKRvxQCoTyA

Spotto Video Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uA19d6Ntk

VVVVVV (yes, that's the name :P) is also a great and challenging eShop title that you might want to look into.

And if you liked Cave Story, you should keep an eye out for the full-featured version of Cave Story that's coming to the eShop.
