Casual Games for DS/3DS

Yeah, the music is cheery and fun.

I'll agree the music is cheery and fun but I never loved the music in HM.

My mom got annoyed when I hummed to Animal Parade's spring tune.

I suggest Prof. Layton and NSMB2 as well.

I sugges Miracle Mask, its for the 3DS.
Although I suggest playing Curious Village, Diabolical Box, Unwound Future, Last Specter, or even the MOVIE.

TIMELINE:
Last Specter (prequel)
Eternal Diva (anime movie, in the prequel trilogy
Miracle Mask (in the prequel trilogy
Curious Village (in the second trilogy)
Diabolical Box and Unwound Future, same as Curious Village

Although most of them feature death, like Curious Village, Unwound Future, and Last Specter.

I've been looking at the Professor Layton games but I have not played any and I am not sure if I want to go through them all. Am I missing out a lot if I don't?

Yes, they are really good games. There are animated cutscenes that are almost Studio Ghibli (anime movie makers) quality.
I would play Professor Layton and the Curious Village first. Then DB then UF. If you like those, try Last Specter because its a prequel to everything. There is also a 3DS version called Miracle Mask.
I suggest looking at a video walkthrough first. I think most CV puzzles are math, DB is more logical, UF has more sliding puzzles, LS has the best mix, and MM has more visional puzzles

Thanks!

Which Harvest Moon would you suggest for the Wii?

Magical Melody is pretty good, but I would honestly just buy it for the gamecube because A) it's cheaper. and B) you can play as a girl.

IMO, I think Animal Parade and Tree of Tranquility are better anyways because there is more freedom, and your baby can grow up. I personally prefer Animal Parade, but Tree of Tranquility is more popular with the fan base. I would suggest Animal Parade, but both are great games.

None. I'm not saying they're bad but HM really should be played on a handheld system, that being said A new beginning looks really good.

the new eShop Version of Cave Story is pretty neat. it has a few endings so it'll keep you playing for a while.

plus its fun and it has a talking lunchbox that yells huzzah.

I did buy A New Beginning and may just stick with that. I am liking using my 3DS more than my Wii anyway.

Haha, awesome. Thanks for the suggestion!

Other than amazing stories, tunes and puzzles, there's not much that links them all together. A few characters and links in the game that references others but nothing major.
