Summary
Here are the best video games stuck on the Nintendo DS!
And such a great console was blessed with plentiful games.
10Okamiden
The original Okami first launched on the PS2 near the end of its lifecycle.
Celebrated with great reviews, it didn’t have the same success in sales.
Okamiden is more os a spiritual successor to the original Okami rather than a direct sequel.
It uses many of the same ideas again, though tackling slightly different themes.
Using the Celestial Brush on the touchscreen was such a natural fit.
Spirit Tracks is just such a joyful game.
It is far detached from many Zelda conventions, introducing new villains and items.
It’s a real gem, and not exactly surprising it hasn’t been ported.
It is a massive media empire that will run until there is no one left to buy it.
They are joyous and light-hearted, but require some genuine thought as well.
These action puzzles games offer a unique punch in of gameplay.
The Last Specter remains the sole stowaway in this regard, locked to the DS.
6Elite Beat Agents
Elite Beat Agents is a fun little little.
It is technically a localisation of the Japan-exclusive Osu!
And so Elite Beat Agents, one of themost inventive rhythm games, was born.
This also means how well you perform your songs affects the ending of each scenario.
Plus, there is just so much licensed music.
It’s a real treat.
In Japan, it is literally called Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition.
The Nintendo DS was a haven for original, quirky, and brilliant strategy games.
It’s a genuinely fun and smart game, and one of the last truly ambitious Pokemon spin-offs.
Up until the ending of online services on the DS,Mario Kart DS was incredibly active.
It could even be adapted to modern platforms more easily than some other DS exclusives.
So maybe there’s a chance it will have another chance in the spotlight.
Wild World introduced online, allowing you to visit other players' world.
2New Super Mario Bros.
The Mario games started as sidescrollers, though have quickly become more renowned for their 3D entries.
That’s where New SUper Mario Bros. comes in.
It was large, replayable, packed with minigames and unique gameplay mechanics.
There’s a reason it took Nintendo so long to make a good successor.
1Nintendogs
Who doesn’t love pets?
There are endless games on the DS, so many genres.
And while many of the games are exclusive, these types of games can be found elsewhere.
It might sound silly, but the Nintendogs games were the heart of the DS.
You had to remember the time of day to check on them.
With the DS being so portable, you could bring your pet with you anywhere.
They showcased everything the DS could do in a long-form manner.
Nature can be terrifying in these games.
