The main reason I only have around 200 is because that I get each game individually, only picking up the ones that I would want to play and not having a (U) & (E) version of the game. But as I see your screen shot you have Barbie!? and some other games that I would never insist on getting.

... but I cleared out most of the (J) regions ... since I have no need for Japanese games...
What? There are some really good JPN games. I probably only have around 40 Japanese games for the DS, but on the PSP I have 70% of them. Daisenryaku is a far better game than Advance Wars is a good example of how the Japanese rule us all.

Getting a Ds is a very good idea. Best handheld ever.

Goodness that's some awesome homebrew skills.
I must say, DS is just king of any hand-held right now. Some of the games are so good and fun, you might forget about your home-consoles for a while!
Recommendations:
The Phoenix Wright games
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Tetris DS
Both Castlevanias
Clubhouse Games

I work at a game store, but didn't get my Wii at that store, rather I waited at Best Buy during the second big shipment of Wiis on January 21st, and got the second to last one. This one little kid calls the store I work at EVERY SINGLE DAY to see if we have Wiis. One day, The call went:
Kid: Do you have a Wii?
Me: Yes I do... (pause) What do you need to know about it?
Kid: No, I meant can I buy one?
Me: Oh my, no. We've been sold out for weeks.
Kid: ...BYE
It may be mean, but he's annoying

I agree with Balisong, except for one thing. Metroid Prime Hunters. If you are a Metroid nut, but not a Wi-Fi enthusiest, you should steer clear of this game. This game is good for Wi-Fi, but horrible for a single player adventure. It has none of the classic Metroid brilliance that has made the Metroid series my favorite collection of video games ever.

I do agree about the single player... it feels very empty compared to other metroid games.
However, with the stylus instead of an analog stick, I feel the controls are much smoother and more accurate to your own tastes, so I must say I like Hunters over the other Prime games for this reason. It makes it very much a "Must-Own" game if you enjoy Wi-Fi play.

I just started to try and play MP Hunters and I can't get use to the stylus. I'm going to try tonight to make a ghetto thumb stylus because I'm left handed and can't hold the stylus and push the d pad. Hopefully my right thumb will be alright at aiming and such, otherwise I will just absolutely suck at this game.

PassMe Is a game cartridge where you can download .nds roms onto. so you can play without paying (fun and cheap). And it's even WiFi Compatable. There are different Types of PassMe, Some for Lite and some for regular. I'm getting one called M3 where you can Download videos and Games. Meridian has one because you can tell by the mini SD in it.

Actually a PassMe device is a cartridge that resembles a DS game and can be used instead of flashing. Once it is inserted into the DS slot, it enables you to run unassigned code through the gba slot. The passme only worked with version 3 or below. Newer ones are called NoPass which has actual encrypted DS game code, and it doesn't matter on what firmware your DS has.
NoPass Devices:
SuperKey which I own
Max Media Launcher
EZPass3
and more
GBA Flashcart:
SuperCard Lite, SD, miniSD
M3
G6, G6 Lite
and more
GBA flashcarts is where the homebrew, games, music, video is stored on. You can either get one that has built in memory, very tricky to an average person because they show the memory like this 4Gb, which is not 4 gigabytes but rather 4 gigabits. Or others that have a slot into the cartridge that can support SD, miniSD, MicroSD, etc. They are even never ways for example using the DS-Xtreme which fits flush into the slot 1 (DS), has built 4Gb, and doens't require anything else. Or just as the regular gba flashcarts if 4Gb isn't enough space, there are some where you can use a microSD card. The upside to having a slot 1 solution is that all, at least the ones I know, don't require patched roms. The downside is only using the slot 1 solution you don't have gba support.
