Mario Kart 64? I am not sure if airplanes have wireless connections (could be) but without it, still addicting. Might wanna get some cheap fun ones, perhaps a used Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Switch off between each other.

EBA isn't a good game to play in the plane, because you won't be able to hear the music. A good game is ... well.... pretty old, but Castlevania - Portrait of Ruin/Dawn of Sorrow.

Depends how many you can get. Star Fox Command is great, but short. But, you can play it multiple times because of alternate endings and levels. New Super Mario Bros. has a lot, but can become frustrating if you are horrible at platformers. Mario Kart DS has a lot to it also, but not much gets the thrill going like Wi-Fi, which I believe is illegal on planes.

in actuality NSMB, while very fun, was VERY easy.  the reason why i'm saying this is because i've NEVER finished a super mario game in my life.  considering someone in my position (aka sucks at platform games), i was very surprised i was able to beat the game at all.  granted i haven't gone back to collect all the special coins for each stage, i still beat the game regardless.

that being said, that aspect of the game should keep you busy on the plane.  i would suggest metroid prime hunters ONLY if you have a DS PHAT.  the form factor of the DSL is so small that you're hands WILL cramp up when playing the game given the nature of the control scheme.  FF3 shouldn't be too bad, and as a matter of fact should be a no-brainer as far as length is concerned.  i've yet to buy the game but considering most reviewers have said that the game is more difficult than other ff games you SHOULD be preoccupied with it.

EBA is fun, and i'm kind of surprised you don't like it.  while most games on DS are fun, EBA  is one of the rare fun games that actually puts the DS's touch screen to good use.  and i guess the other game that has that capability is that one Wario game that i can't remember the name of.

my two cents........

Exactly. The last time I took the plane was to fly above the Atlantic (many hours) and I was playing Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. It felt relaxing.

It's illegal to use wireless anything on airplanes. You can use electronic devices though as long as they don't emit wirless signals, so you can play your DS but not online.

a good game for a long plane ride would be clubhouse games

pretty much infinite replayability

another good game would be jump ultimate stars

I'd say, if you want to complete the game, go for Hotel Dusk, in 8 hours, you'll be done, but it is just so good. However, it does get frustrating if you get stuck, and that may put you off. I think Eragon was a good suggestion, great game, extremely interesting, and underappreicated. Final Fantasy 3 is also a good option, you just can't go wrong with Final Fantasy. But if you want the best game possible, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is the greatest DS game in history.

Sounds like you like the stuff I do xbox. So May I recommend Sims URBZ: Sims in the City? (An oldie but a goodie). This is a Sims game but with a difference, (for one thing it's got an ending and several mini games). The storyline is fun and absorbing. It's about 2 years old so you might be able to get it cheap. (Stay away from the other Sims games though, they are awful!) It's also a fun replayable as you can change "reps" and characters (check it out here at Gamespot to see if it's your thing.) As for "Playing" on Planes. I took my DS with me in November and played for 2 hours going to Florida. The lady next to me was watching a movie on her computer, my brother was watching a movie on his DVD player. So you can use electronics (although I would check with the airline to be sure).

ugh, i wouldn't do a platformer. too monotonous (i.e. yoshi island, nSMB, sPP, megaman, etc) - Mario and Luigi, unputdownable - Custom Robo, funtocustomize - Tony Hawk: American Sk8land, funTHPSgoodness - DQH: Rocket Slime, haven't played it much, but it seems promising.
