Thanks! DS got his for Christmas. DH bought me one last year for my bday (I LOVE mario and tetris). DS2 has claimed mine, he will be getting his own soon as mine is pearl pink LOL.

My three kids have a DSi each. They are 6, 4 and 2.

My 6 years old boy likes..

bold, new super mario, lego stars wars, transformers, namco, clever kids, ben10, spider man, iron man, playmobil pirate, lego batman, smart boys, disvovery kids, astro boy, leho indiana jones, mario kart, super mario, mario 64.

I'm thinking about getting DH a DSi for his bday. He feels a little left out when the boys are playing. DS4 had a GBA we handed down to DS2, but it broke and we're going to replace it with a DS lite.

Do you have a DS lite or a DSi?

Just curious while we have DSes now my kids all had GBA at that age and I can think of several games for the GBA that you can get cheap (think $2 or $3) at Gamestop what will work on DS Lites - these include candyland/memory/chutes & ladders (3 games in 1), rescue heroes and my kids' all time favorite Donkey Kong Country (well, this one may be more expensive - our copy was lost and we replaced a couple years ago and I paid $30 for a used copy).

For the DS lite or DSi I also recommend Mario Kart! Kids love it.

Other great games include anything Lego. My kids played them on the GBA at that age and continue to use them on their DS lites.

I also second PP on Star Wars the complete saga they love this one.

I will def. look for the memory game, that's one of his favorites! We just discovered a memory game on the wonder pets DS game, so he's a least able to play it so what.
