I've had a DS for a while ^^ Here's some favorites:
--------
Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright
Visual novel, Adventure
There's three games with Phoenix as the main lead, one with Apollo Justice, and a spinoff called Perfect Prosecuter: Miles Edgeworth.
''Players take on the role of Phoenix Wright, who acts as a defense attorney. There are two segments: trial and investigation. During trial, players must do a variety of court tasks, including cross examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and objecting to offending statements or evidence presented by the prosecution. Players are given five exclamation points representing their health, which is depleted when the Judge punishes them for making a severe enough mistake.''
The game is full of likable characters, strange and interesting plots, and it has lots of humor ^^

Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Visual novel, Adventure
''The player, as Kyle Hyde, moves around and interacts with the environment using the DS's touch screen and must solve a variety of puzzles using the handheld's various features including the touch screen, microphone, and closeable cover. Throughout the game, the player must speak with the various hotel patrons and employees in order to uncover vital information. By asking the right questions, Kyle will uncover the information he needs. If he asks the wrong question, makes a wrong assumption, or shows the wrong item, he may confuse or anger the person. This can result in Kyle being forced to retreat to his room or, later in the game, getting kicked out of the hotel, leaving him unable to solve the mystery.''
A great mystery game with cool gameplay and interesting characters ^^ I absolutely love the drawing style

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
Adventure
''Opening in the city of Paris, George Stobbart is enjoying his autumn vacation when he narrowly escapes an explosion outside a café. Following the clues left behind by the killer, who is dressed as a clown, George discovers there is something much larger and more dangerous going on that stretches back in time as far as the Knights Templar. Enlisting the help of a French journalist, Nicole Collard, they follow an intricate manuscript which points them in the direction of various locations around the world.
The game is a traditional point-and-click adventure, where the player has to logically come up with answers and solutions to riddles and problems that he or she encounters during the course of the game.''
Old classic PC game, but converted to the DS with great success. One of my all-time favorite games ^^
