Default Nintendo DS games for my mum.
 
Hi

It my mums birthday soon and i'm planning on taking her out for a meal but i also wanted to get more a few games for her DS.
YES SHE DOES OWN A DS...(i quote "if nicole kidman has one in the advert, i want one&quot

soo yea i was looking for recommendations please.
She likes the self help games and random fun with the ds stick thing.

For example:

The brain training games, and warioware are what she likes...

nothing to do with violence or final fantasy or anything like that.

Thanks.

where she doesnt need someone to help her out on some levels like on action adventure games where you can get lost and dont understand the objectives.

oh and mario kart is a very good DS game, possibley one of the best games ever to be released.

I know you specifically said not these, but I refuse to recommend you "games" like Animal Crossing and Nintendogs. So buy her Final Fantasy, or what about the Pokemon games? Chrono Trigger too, has it been released on DS yet, though?

I like how because it's his mum, everyone has recommended crap games.

Seriously, just because she's mature doesn't mean she wants to play crap.

Honey, we're just recommending games that are similar to the ones she's got so she'll enjoy them. What is crap to you might be enjoyable for her. Just shut up.

There's a "game" for the DS which is actually a collection of classic books.
There are several Sudoku-Crossword style games

There's also Brain Training, English Training, Eyesight Training, Common Sense Training and a whole load of those.

I don't suppose she'd like Super Mario Bros. Pokemon, Mario Kart, Guitar Hero or anything like that? Because I just love them lol... I think she might like Mario Kart. Everyone likes that!
