IGN: The Top 25 Nintendo DS Games

IGN writes: "It's been four full years since the introduction of the Nintendo DS. This dual-screen, touch-screen handheld was a system first received with skepticism when it launched in the US in November of 2004. Over time, it began to prove itself. The dual-screened handheld that had everyone, gamers and developers alike, scratching their heads has become the most popular and most purchased piece of video game hardware.

But it's not on the strength of the hardware alone. The reason why Nintendo's DS has enjoyed its success is that it's been a system supported by strong software. Games that have taken advantage of the opportunity presented by its unique capabilities -- its two screens, touch sensitivity, Wi-Fi connectivity and more -- and turned that potential into real, compelling gameplay. Games that we now seek to recognize".

Meh, not a very good list IMO. There was few games that got the mentions they deserved but the fact that they had Tactics A2 instead of another, superior Square Enix game(of which there are many) is something I disagree with. It's a really good game but they've got a lot of much better games on there.

Hisiru5405d ago

Luminous arc is a much better tactics than Final Fantasy Tactics A2

This'll be very useful. Just picked myself up a secondhand DS Lite today.

ChampIDC5405d ago

Seems like a fair list, but to me, it's just more proof that the PSP's library is the more fitting handheld library for my tastes. Not a whole lot of games that are up my alley on there.

PS360WII5404d ago

Don't even go there. This list is a joke and doesn't even scratch the surface of the good games found on the system.

rivithed5405d ago

I wouldn't go with Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow as the Castevania choice. Because it was first on the DS isn't a good reason. Definitely Order of Ecclesia is much better. Dawn of Sorrow's artwork isn't as faithful to the Castlevania series as Ecclesia is. Ecclesia is like a female version of Alucard in Symphony of the Night. You can also shapeshift. A much better pick! Enjoyed it much better and drops the stylus gimmick.

there are TOO many puzzle games on this list ...

also sonic rush adventure is WAYYYY better than the first sonic rush game ..

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS9h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz7h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins7h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia6h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent16d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing16d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga16d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic15d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

Themba7616d ago
