Now, I got my DS (used - polar white) last month. I wanted a crimson & black, but Christmas bled the DS stock dry.
So, here is my current list of DS games that I own and enjoy.
Age of Kings (playing)
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (completed)
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (playing)
Zelda: A Link to the Past - GBA (playing)
There are three games coming out that I will definitely purchase.
Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery (March '08 - already released in Europe)
Pocket History: Rome (April, '08 by Slitherine)
Civilization Revolution (June '08)
Here is the press release on Pocket History: Rome.
