Nintendo DS games for 7 yr old girl?

[AphroditeInHerNightie]

Hi there,
DD, 7, had a Nintendo DS Lite for her birthday and has the following games:
Nintendogz
Disney Friends
Disney Princess Magic Jewels

She would like some additional games for Christmas. Could anyone reccommend any that are cheap-ish and worthwhile buying?
Have heard that Cooking Mama is a good one - opinions please?
Thanks x

My DD is 5 but is very good with a DS. She has the following games on a NDS card (you download games and put them on one card).

Super Mario Bros
Super Monkey Ball
I did it Mum 1 & 2
I did it Mum Picture Book
Lego Indiana Jones
Lego Batman
Mario Kart
Sonic Hedgehog
Wario Ware
Cooking Mama 1 & 2
Strawberry Shortcake
Littlest Petshop
Dora
Yoshi's Island
Donkey Kong

All are appropriate and easily playable.

ooh, thanks.
where do you get an NDS card from and how do you download the games?

here you go.

TBH DH does the downloading bit and I keep out of it IYSWIM

Don't forget that the downloading of games, etc is illegal!

We have an R4 card (you need the new version - 3 I think it is) and abount 300+ games on my hard disk. A friend of mine downloads them from a website. [BLUSH]

For a 7yo dd:

The Imagine games are aimed at this age - Teacher; Baby; Fashion Designer; Rock Band; Wedding Planner; etc.

Cooking Mama 1&2

High School Musical

A lot of the Disney channel programmes have games - Hannah Montana, That's so Raven, Suite Life..

Animal Crossing

Brain Academy (better than Brain Trainign for this age I think)

Tamagotchi Corner 1&2

Princess Lillifee

My Secret World - it is like a secret diary with small mini games and quizzes

Will have to ask 6y DD later

oooh i need to know how all this works, haven't got a clue what to get dd1 and this seems like a good idea!

I suppose you could google 'download ds games' but thats all I could suggest. I wouldn't personally know how to do it.

we've a DS R4 card too and it is ace.
Animal Crossing is a favourite in our house along with Harry Potter and Sonic Rush. Mario Kart is also good.
Touchmaster is also good as it has games like draughts and cards

Look up R4 on amazon. Get one with a memory card included, it gets too expensive if you have to get it separately.

Drawn to Life and the Lego games are good for children too.

I was going to ask the same question too, how do you get the games onto the actual card (shall we be dim together )

With the R4 card you get a USB thing into which you put the tiny memory card from the M3 into. You then use this as you wuld any oher memory device - copy across from PC.

You MUST have the DS system files - you can also get this as a download, por ask someone who has them to send them to you.

It's simple once you get the hang of it. It takes about 15 minutes to download, unzipped and onto the microSD card that fits into your R4.

I have a card too and stuck a package on it.
I've just sorted it out this morning so haven't decided which games I'm keeping yet but I did enjoy the Sonic one!
I use here and here for downloads.
