I got a good deal on a DS for my nieces (5 and 7), but I need some game recommendations.

It came with Animal Crossing: Wild World, but I've been playing that to test it out, and it requires a lot of reading. That'll be fine for the 7-year-old, but I need something with little-to-no reading required for the little one.

Any ideas?

You would be better off buying some GBA games and playing them on the DS. The selection of games better geared to that audience is on the Gameboy Advance.

Nintendogs, Mario Kart, and Super Princess Peach are all games you may want to check out.

You can't go wrong with Tetris. Nintendogs, of course.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, I've noticed that, but I wanted them to have at least one game that they could use the touch screen with.

Gotta be Nintendogs. Mario Kart is probably a no-brainer as well. Princess peach is really cool and not too tricky.

I haven't played them yet, but I would think either the Yoshi game or the Kirby game would be fun and they make excellent use of the touch screen.

They are right on the cusp of being old enough for Brain Age...and you can sneak some math practice up on them.

Tons of GBA games, starting with the Mario classics and the two Kirby Games.
