What's some of your favorite Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS Games?

For Nintendo DS games, I would pick Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart DS and Pokemon Diamond.

For Nintendo 3DS games, then it's Animal Crossing: Neal Leaf, Mario Kart 7, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, Pokemon Ultra Sun, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Y.

my favorites are;
Mario Kart
Super Mario 3d land
New Super Mario bros
Smash
Legend of Zelda OOT (really good version on ds)
Majora's Mask made me rage quit for some reason i cant remember why, something to do with the moon resetting the game after 3 days? but it annoyed me enough to never play it again lol

My ex girlfriend lent me her 3DS for years, and i could play a few games.
One that caught my attention was Beyond The Labyrinth, a dungeon crawler. It starts with nice pixel art graphics, telling us the story of a group of friends playing some online RPG, until sommething happen and the game changes to "real life" and a girl (very similar to Ico's Yorda) asks for help. They keep playing it but convinced of it being some other dimension or stuff like that. It was interesting! Simple but pretty art direction, and the combat has that classic elemental weakness system. I'd reccomend it.

Other than that, i have a deep love for FF's Theatrhythm Curtain Call! Final Fantasy and Squaresoft's soundtracks filled my life, and having a game like this makes me smile no matter how much or when i play it.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Ghost Trick
Shin Megami Tensei 4
Ace Attorney 1-3

Kid Icarus Uprising
Link Between Worlds

This could be a long list so I will stop here.

 

[It's Thinking 2]

For the DS I had Chrono Trigger, Nostalgia, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Super Mario 64 DS, Fullmetal Alchemist Dual Sympathy, You Don't Know Jack, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Metroid Prime Hunters and the First Hunt demo, also had Kingdom Hearts RE:Coded but i wasn't too crazy about it. More recently I discovered that Wizard of Oz RPG for it that was by the same developers as Wild Arms. It's actually really good! Oh and i also played that Naruto fighting game for it but i swear my battery would drain faster whenever i played it.

If you couldn't tell already, I like wizardry so it's only natural that I also like Etrian Odyssey. Eo3 for the ds is my favourite; i really like the art also.

Some nice game art, though I've never played those games before and haven't heard of them.

You are missing out BIG time.

I easily could be missing out on them, though I can't really say if I am or not. I've missed out on a lot of games over the years by simply not knowing about them and never talking to anyone that might like them. I'm not really into turn based RPGS if those games are like that.

It's a first-person drpg where you create your characters and form a party, story is not the focus in these games.
Also I see that you like To Heart. Ever heard of Dungeon Travelers? they recently released the first one in english. It's actually a great introduction to the genre.

Nope, never heard of it or a DRPG, I'm guessing something about dungeon crawling? Not really a game genre I'm into though.

Looks like that To Heart game is on Steam, which I don't use.

The World Ends with You is actually my favourite game of all time, presentation of that game is still unmatched besides the sequel and the pins are super cool and unique system. Really recommend everyone give it a shot, if you decide to emulate the game using "WASD" as your movement controls for the top character and a computer mouse for Neku is perfectly playable and technically a bit easier for some inputs than the intended way to play on real hardware.

That being said I recommend playing on a real DS/3DS if possible

 

[Smiley Cat]

DS - The Chrono Trigger port, which is still arguably the best version of the game to this day.

3DS - A Link Between Worlds and the Ocarina/Majora ports.

 

[SuperSampleStar]

The Ace Attorney games are THE de-facto games to own for the DS/3DS since they are all good games in their own right (while also having a bunch of issues regarding canon/story), including the 2 Edgeworth games (with the fanpatch for the 2nd one). Even the Layton crossover one wasn't half-bad.

Other than those, my favorites from the DS are also Pokemon White/Platimun and WarioWare Touched.

On the 3DS the ones that come to mind are Mario Kart 7, Pokemon Omega Ruby, Super Mario 3D Land, Sonic Generations, and Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition.

I'd have to go though the list of games online to remember more favorites... it's been a while since I've touched those systems specifically.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Dragon Quest IX (actually my favorite RPG of all time).

Boogie!

Yoshi's Island DS.

Super Mario 64 DS.

The World Ends With You.

Pokemon Black 2.

Pokemon Soul Silver.

Trackmania DS.

 

[Inkingsama]

For the Ds i'd say Megaman Star Force 1 and 3. Both game have their flaws but they are excellent games with likeable characters and engaging gameplay. SMT Strange Journey and Pokemon BW2 are favorites of mine too.

I haven't played that many 3ds games, mainly just mario kart 7 with friends and pokemon omega ruby. If it counts, what i liked to play the most in my 3ds was the monster hunter generations demo.

Demos should count.

didn't know about the chrono trigger port ill have to check that out
but the zelda games were awesome on ds for sure!
the only better looking version of OOT I've found is called "ship of harkinian mod" but its PC port

Now we're talking. I spent a good year playing NDS games, spending the most time coming back to Konami's Castlevania trilogy. Thanks to CDR I also played a bunch of fan-translated games next localized releases here are a few of my favorites:

- Bangai-O Spirits
- Culdcept DS
- Honeycomb Beat
- Kirby Mass Attack
- Sonic Rush Adventure
- Mega Man ZX
- Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ
- Contra 4
- Bomberman 2
- Coropata

I finished Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier that took around 31HR, and started Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier Exceed only to take an indefinite break. Really enjoy the battle system on these two.
