Blaster Master Zero. Old-school adventure reboot blasts its way to a new home. Updated games have mild violence, mostly good messages.
Colorfully chaotic party game expanded with bonus content. Ever Oasis. Entertaining game fuses adventuring with city building. Super Scribblenauts. The ultimate puzzle game for imagination and creativity.
Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido. Fast, fun puzzler's only real flaw is fishy controls. WarioWare Gold. Great fast-paced mini-game collection tests reflexes. Yo-Kai Watch 3.
Improved Yo-Kai Watch tale is the biggest and best yet. Monster Hunter Stories. Buddy up with fantasy creatures in fun RPG spin-off. Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy. Fun puzzler with challenging conundrums, super role models. Captivating legal adventure full of sly humor. Should both you and a friend own a copy of the game it's probably a pipe-dream at this point but For its intense single-player campaign, and potentially friendship-ruining head-to-head gameplay, Dual Strike is one battle we could fight all day long.
From exploring the new region, to the classic turn based battles, these games are not games you'll want to miss out on. Speaking of classic games series, we would be remiss to not include at least one Mario game. The game represents a new generation of Mario that stays true to the classic side-scrolling concept of the original Super Mario Bros.
You'll find both familiar enemies, and new ones, and you can even link wirelessly with your friends to play as Mario and Luigi in a multiplayer mode. If any game proves that Mario is still relevant, it's this one. Square Enix did just that. The HD update offers newly developed 3D graphics and new added content, and not only brings two generations of Final Fantasy fans together, but also cements FF4 in the memory books as one of the best RPGs ever.
Of course, this isn't a complete copy of the original game — it also features things like new modes such as Meta Knight Ultra and Revenge of the King. Sure, you could argue that Super Star Ultra isn't as exciting as Kirby Canvas Curse, but as a short and sweet adventure game, Super Star Ultra isn't one to miss out on, especially if you're a Kirby fan.
In the game, you and up to three of your friends from anywhere in the world can hang out in the same village and interact in real time. You can also hang out in your friends' villages. When you're back home there's always something to do — from decorating your home to collecting new items to just lounging with the locals.
Perhaps the coolest new feature in the game is multiplayer mode, which allows you and your friends to play as other Organization XIII members. While long-time Kingdom Hearts fans will love this addition to the franchise, new players will also get a kick out of it — it's not too difficult to learn, and while some backstory may help in the general understanding of the game, you'll still have a lot of fun without it.
While New Super Mario Bros. However it takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS' dual-screen setup and adds touch screen features and even wireless multiplayer compatibility. Who says an old plumber can't learn new tricks? The third Mario game on the list is there for good reason — it's an awesome, albeit weird, game. In Partners in Time, Mario and Luigi partner up with none other than their younger selves. As strange as it sounds, you get to control both the adult and baby sets of Mario Bros.
The game gets a little out of control but, in this case, that's a good thing. Spirit Tracks sends our hero Link on a brand-new adventure, offering a totally new story with more puzzles, and so on. Like Procreate on the iPad, bold movements with the stylus create bold strokes, while light movements make delicate lines. Enemies can also be killed using brush strokes.
Chibiterasu can also team up with human partners to access otherwise unreachable areas and attack foes. Next up on our list of the best Nintendo DS games is a character that everyone should know very well. Kirby Mass Attack is a fast-paced, colourful adventure that fans of Pikmin or Lemmings will love from start to finish. Rather than moving your Kirbys around using the D-Pad, the player uses the DS stylus to direct the pink army through each level.
Multiple Kirbys are required to complete some tasks, while some levels can only be tackled with three or more Kirbys in your team. Collect fruit to grow your team, and keep an eye on their colour as they lose health and slowly drift away! I love Wario games, and this next entry on our list of the best Nintendo DS games is one of my favourites in the series!
Not content with stealing from people in the real world, Wazza has made a helmet that allows him to infiltrate a TV Programme. He steals a magical wand that allows the user to use multiple disguises… and then steals loads of stuff. The main characters you meet are called Cannoli, Carpaccia, and Tiramisu, for crying out loud!
As the second sequel to the critically acclaimed Advance Wars , one of our best Gameboy Advance games of all time, this title was always destined for greatness. Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a turn-based military strategy game between battling armies. Think Strategeo or Risk, but just on the DS instead.
Set in Omega land, players control the Allied Nations who must fight the forces of Black Hole in a bid to stop them from draining energy from the land. Using land, sea, and aerial assaults, gamers must capture the enemies HQ or defeat all of their troops in each battle to proceed.
While simple in set-up, this is a brain-teasing puzzle that will leave you itching for more. War has never looked so bright and colourful!
The game is set in Shibuya, one of the most famous shopping districts in Tokyo and takes great influence from the youth culture of the area. The title has hints of The Hunger Games and The Running Man about it, in which chosen souls are transcended to another realm and must compete to make it back to the real world. There you go; you can impress your mates with that one!
Everything from the setting to the graphics inspired gamers and critics alike. You can even watch the Anime series or read the Manga comics based on the game once you complete it! Players control a ghost that must possess nearby objects to solve a crime. He can travel back in time before a murder in order to prevent it from happening….
The premise of this game is incredible. As players move through the levels, they must save NPCs while also trying to find out how they died. Chrono Trigger is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best RPG games ever made. It might get overshadowed somewhat by Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy titles, but Square and their all-star developer cast have ensured its place in gaming history, giving it the tools to hold its own against the big players.
Chrono Trigger utilised the talents of the creator of the Final Fantasy series, the Dragon Quest series, and a famous Manga artist best known for his creations on a certain programmed named DragonBall-Z. The plot is as epic and long-winded as you might have guessed from having these three legendary creators on board, and Chrono Trigger has won countless awards for both the best game and the best RPG ever made.
If RPG battles, item collecting, immersive quests, and multiple endings float your boat, then grab a copy for your DS and get gaming! The DS certainly had a lot of brain-tickling puzzlers, and the next entry in our list of the best Nintendo DS games formed part of the best series on the console. Fusing the gameplay of Carmen Sandiego and MYST with tricky brain teasers and a thrilling storyline, the Unwound Tower provides fun for gamers of any ability.
The games are a mixture of full motion video and still images, like the picture above. Using the DS stylus, players can click on characters to garner clues or take part in puzzles. They can also tap objects to see if there are any hint coins hidden inside.
If you can remember Marth appearing on Super Smash Bros. Set in Archanea, Shadow Dragon tells the tale of Prince Marth and his exile at the hands of en evil wizard and a devious dragon. Like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem is known for its epic storylines, turn based battles, and character development as players progress through the game.
Both DS screens come into play in this game, with the lower touchscreen showing gamers a map of Archanea and all of the story-action and battling happening up top. If you enjoyed the Famicom game or love a bit of Dungeons and Dragons, then Shadow Dragon should be on your wish list.
Sonic and Mario might have once been competitors, but these days, Sega and Nintendo have buried the hatchet, so to speak. Sonic Rush Adventure is a cracking sonic title that cleverly uses both DS screens for a unique gameplay experience. Blaze is a mobian cat princess who guards Sol emeralds, and our dynamic Duo need her help to find both Chaos and Sol emeralds, as well as fighting back robotic pirates. The gameplay is, as you might expect, pretty much like every other Sonic side-scroller.
It is, however, one of the best portable Sonic games and feels as though it could have jumped straight from the Mega Drive. In a nice twist, the characters move from top to bottom screens depending on how the path moves, and some mini-levels can also be controlled by using the stylus too. We love Castlevania games here at Retro Dodo, and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow has to be one of our favourites in the canon.
Dawn of Sorrow marked the first Castlevania adventure on the DS and a move away from the continuous battle of the Belmonts vs Dracula. Although Simon Belmont or Reinhardt Schneider do not feature in this game, the same Castlevania elements that we know and love remain. Dawn of Sorrow is designed perfectly, maintaining that gothic feel that Konami always delivers so well in these games with levels and enemies that will send a chill down your spine.
Readers that spend a lot of time setting up camp in Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield will love it too! Use the touchscreen to pet, groom, or throw toys for your dog. Speak its name into the microphone to call it, and take your pooch on walks to the park, all without leaving the sofa. Various versions gave been released covering a wide variety of breeds.
There is also a Nintendogs and Cats game for the 3DS too for anyone who loves felines more than canines. The Mario Bros. The DS certainly had a whole host of epic pocket monster adventures available, especially updated remakes of classic titles released on the GBC and GBA. Dual Pokemon battles are a feature in Platinum, and players can compete in minigames in the new WiFi Plaza.
Record battles with opponents or trade anonymously over the Global Trade System to complete outstanding Pokedex entries. Many critics consider Pokemon Platinum to be the ultimate remake of the ultimate Pokemon games. Back in mini-game mode, Wario is ready to party and has some incredibly bizarre and addictive challenges up his sleeve. This game uses the DS touchscreen to maximum effect, with mini-games requiring stylus-wielding action as well as shouting commands into the microphone.
Each of the micro mini-games only lasts around seconds, meaning that gamers must be quick witted and on the ball if they have any hope of succeeding. Connect batteries, pick noses, shoot targets, and much more in over crazy mini-games.
Players encounter a boss every 15 micro-games, which is usually a trickier mini-game designed to trip you up and send you packing! Whether on the bus or on the loo we know you do it, so why hide it! Fans of Sherlock and Poirot will love this adventure in the weird and wonderful Curious Village.
The inhabitants of St. Mystere will only cooperate with your investigation once you have solved their brain-ticklingly hard quizzes. Gamers must point and click their way around various static levels, interacting with characters and searching for clues as to the whereabouts of the Golden Apple. By interacting with objects such as pipes, animals, and trees etc, players can find cheat coins that help to tackle tough problems. Up next in our list of the best Nintendo DS games is a series that many Nintendo Switch fans should be well acquainted with.
Animal Crossing has taken the world by storm recently, and Animal Crossing: Wild World was the first portable adventure in the series.
Like Animal Crossing New Horizons , it revolves around conversing with talking animals and thriving in a remote village. Night and day play a big part in Wild World too, with the passing of time synced to the internal clock inside your DS and affecting certain actions such as the growing of crops or when characters are available to converse with.
Animal Crossing: Wild World is a game with dozens of possibilities and customisable options available to players. There is no right or wrong way to play; play your way and live by your rules. Fans of the Sims or Harvest Moon will love Wild World; it provides a much-needed escape from the stresses of day to day life without providing taxing challenges or intense gameplay.
Released in , these two games were the first DS titles to reach 5-million sales and feature over new Pokemon to catch! The game dynamic is the same as the other Pokemon titles, but the graphics and storyline set Black and White apart from other Poke-ventures.
