Neocrisis: It seems Mario games have become a bit of a mixed bag these days. There's the always widely lauded 3D platformers (Sunshine, Galaxy), and then there's the various sports and other genre games that Mario stars in, such as the long running Mario Party, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart series. Sometimes these turn out good, sometimes they turn out excellent, sometimes they turn out laughably mediocre. It is because of how not so great Mario's ventures outside of platforming have been that I chose to ignore his RPGs, such as Superstar Saga and Paper Mario.
While not the greatest handheld from day one, the best Nintendo DS games still offer some of the most fun you will find on any console.
The fact that Tetris DS does not include an unlimited play mode make it one of the worse Tetris versions for me. The online play was OK back when it still worked.
