It's my Mum's birthday in a few weeks and she's suggested wanting a new game. She loves puzzle games but she doesn't want anything too fast because it'll hurt her arm (she's got a neck/shoulder disability).
At the moment she's got Zoo Keeper which she's played every evening while listening to the comedy show at 6.30pm on Radio 4, since I got the DS last year. Thanks to Zoo Keeper she now has her own DS that she probably plays more than I do ;D
She's also got for the GBA, Puzzle Fighter 2 and Columns Crown but she's barely played either because Zoo Keeper's got her.

However, she wants a new game and not too sure what to go for. I'm not good on knowing games she'd love.

She wouldn't like Nintendodogs (she'd think it was pointless) or something like Animal Crossing. Trauma Centre she'd like the idea but it'd be too fast for her. :(
Any suggestions?

Oops I forgot that.
She's played it :) I had it for a while before I moved so she used to play it a bit but then she got bored of it. Think she was sick of the Doctor having a go at her for forgetting to play daily ;D

I always seemed to go back to it after a particularly long day at work so then I'd be really thick ;D

what about WarioWare Touch? it's pretty fast-paced, but there's some really cool mini games in there. or, at a push, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (or wait til it's Elite Beat Agents over here :))

Fast paced is no good at all for her :( And seems a bit silly buying a game just for the mini games :/
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! would confuse the hell out of her and tbh I wasn't overly impressed by it anyway.

The game is only mini games. if you didn't buy it for those, you wouldn't be buying it at all :p

Ahh assumed the way you put it that it was fast paced but had some mini games to it as well.
If it's fast paced then it's no good anyhow.

What about a Sudoku game? There's a couple about for the DS i think.

It's a good idea :) But I think she'd rather stick to the paper ones as she buys the puzzle books anyway and it's her little treat :/

Yes, my Mum is awkward to buy for :p

Got Tetris DS :) Jointly own it.
Not heard of Magnetica? Bust a Move might be a good one, I hadn't thought of that :D
