Is DS zelda worth the price?

I've played all other zelda games and enjoy other handheld games, but I am wondering for those who have Phantom Hourglass, and other DS games if it is worth it to get a DS just for PH and a handful of other games, or should I just stick to my trusty Wii?

Any input on other great games on DS would be appreciated as well.

Don't get it for just Phantom Hourglass :/ Get a good few other games too. It would be a waste getting it just for that.

The DS has a whole bunch of good games, Phantom Hourglass should be far from the only reason to get it. I personally find the likes of Elite Beat Agents, New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart DS to be quite satisfying for the handheld, and I also play games like Phoenix Wright and Metroid Prime Hunters.

Pokemon Platinum, New Super Mario Bros, Advance Wars Days of Ruin, Mario Kart DS, Mario and Luigi 3 (out soon, I hope), Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, and Kirby Superstar Ultra.

Yeah, get them too.

Trust me, it is well worth it!

I'd say it's well worth it also.

With an assortment of good games, the DS is worth the price, especially if you know others with DSes.

I'd say get one, but not only for PH. I'd say definetly get Chrono Trigger too if you end up buying a DS.

It is worth it. You can play PH and wait for ST.

DS has a lot of good games, like New Super Mario Bros, PH, Megaman ZXA, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Nintendog, Dust hotel room 215.

Chinatown Wars and Valkyrie Profile. Get those, too.

Yeah what he said.

Also keep in mind that Spirit Tracks will be coming out in due time, so yeah.

The DS is certainly worth it's own price.

Just getting Phantom Hourglass with a DS is not really worth it, even if PH is a fantastic game. However, the DS is a very, very good system.

Be sure to buy stuff like Mario Kart DS, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, basically long games with a lot of content that will keep you busy for a while.

I'd definitely say to get a DS. Not necessarily for PH(it's a good DS game but not the best of course imo), but there's definitely a lot of great game for it: New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart, Nintendogs, Mario 64, Advance Wars, Castlevania, you get the point.

If you have any GBA games, then I'd say yes. If not then it's worth waiting for the price to come down. I always avoid first generation products, you can pay less for the better version later. Plus the DSi colors will change and you'll get more of a choice then.

So, looks like I'll be the only person to say "not really". If it were 100% backwards compatible I'd be saying otherwise.

The Nintendo DS is absolutely worth getting, but not just for Phantom Hourglass ( though it is a DS must-have ).
I could recommend dozens of other games;
like adventure? Super Mario 64 DS. Like racing? Mario Kart DS. Like puzzles? Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Like RPGs? Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. There are MANY more, but those are some that are on my mind right now.

getting a DS is a very smart investment my friend, and not just for phantom hourglass, get it for other awesome games as well

I would never buy a DS just for one game. But there are lots of other GREAT games (like Mario Kart and Super Mario 64 DS

Its worth it if u dont only get ph
But not if thats the only game u want
I recommend mariocart

The ds is worth the price? If you are already wanting a handful of games from the system then it's worth the purchase. When CLub nintendo asked me what I thought Phantom Hourglass was worth I said $34 so, no it's not worth the retail price of $34.99.

PH is great.
I bought DS for the reason to play the coming Zelda games... But of course, other games caught my attention aswell and there's a plenty of playworthy games on DS.

Buy it just for PH? Well, how big of a Zelda fan are you? It's up to you to decide, but all handheld Zelda games are great.
