There is a wide variety of games available on the Nintendo DS. As games can get expensive, buying them can often be difficult. For those who grew up playing Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo, they will always be partial to the skill and craft of shooting games. There is a wide variety in the genre, and this article will take you through some simple steps in finding a good one. Follow these steps to buy shooting games for a Nintendo DS.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Nintendo DS

Step1
Find and talk to other Nintendo DS owners. Ask which shooting games they found to be particularly entertaining, and use their opinion as reference to your decision.
Step2
Consider how bloody a game you are looking for. When you shoot, do you want to see the aftermath of the shot, or would you rather—for your stomach’s sake perhaps—just know that a hit was a hit, and not see the carnage.
Step3
Decide whether you would prefer to be in man to man combat, shooting at targets, or operating a vehicle such as an airplane or tank. There are many different mediums in the game of guns.
Step4
Consider the theme of the game. Do you want to be shooting government officials, cowboys and Indians, police officers or just inanimate objects?
Step5
Visit electronics stores and play games that are being offered. Often a clerk will let you try out a particular game.

Tips & Warnings

  • Consider the controls of the game. Some can become complicated with aiming and setting up the shot, so determine your skill level.
  • Look into multi-player options. To make things interesting, some games can be played online in competition with other players.
  • When buying a shooting game for children, pay attention to the rating. Some games can be very violent, and extremely unpleasant.
