All the Dragon Quest games, although IX will give you the best value

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

Castlevania Trilogy (Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia)

Radiant Historia

Pokemon Heartgold/ Soulsilver (IMO remakes the best gen of games)

Knights in the Nightmare

Final Fantasy IV

Chrono Trigger

Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Kirby Superstar Ultra

That's what I got off the top of my head but there are many other great games on the little handheld :)

Professor Layton series and Zero Escape series. For both series, I would try to start with the first (Curious Village, and 999). I love both series, but enjoy zero escape a little more. They both have lots of reading and only gameplay is puzzles, so if you dont like that, it wont be for you.

The World Ends with You

Elite Beat Agents

GTA: Chinatown Wars

Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver

 

The Professor Layton series is good as well, MarioKart DS is fun but if you don't have anyone to play it with it might not be as entertaining. Avoid the DS Zelda games, they're terrible. If you need a Zelda fix just get OoT 3D.

The controls seriously sucked for that game... I loved it, but that game was made for a controller, not a handheld.

I still need to play Devil Survivor... Heard they're great.

Also I would have put Lunar Knights, but I felt that the short length held it back a bit... Still a great game but it was fairly short for an ARPG... Not a ton of levels and whatnot.
