[hazys]

• Tetris DS: My favorite version of Tetris.
• Space Invaders Extreme 2: Super fun take on a classic.
• Jump Ultimate Stars: To this day my favorite crossover fighter.
• Elite Beat Agents: Amazingly fun, just make sure to protect your screen!
• Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSiver: My favorite Pokémon games, warts and all.
• Chibi-Robo! Clean Sweep: The best Chibi-Robo, has a great fan translation.
• Solatorobo: Red the Hunter: Super charming Mega Man Legends-esque game.
• Etrian Odyssey: An excellent trilogy if you like dungeon crawlers.
• The Dark Spire: Overlooked retro-style dungeon crawler, great visuals.
• Chousoujuu Mecha MG: Super unique touch-based mecha game, fan-translated.
• Shiren the Wanderer DS2: I'll take this series on every platform it's on.
• Final Fantasy Tactics A2: It has its flaws, but it's very easy to dump 100+ hours into.
• Soma Bringer: If you like Xenoblade Chronicles, this is its 2D predecessor. (Fan-translated.)
• Dragon Quest IX: Massive JRPG you can dump hundreds of hours into.
• Phantasy Star Zero: Fun, fully-3D ARPG, a bit lonely without co-op play.
• Mario Hoops 3-on-3: Super underrated basketball game with Final Fantasy/DQ characters.

The Metal max games, those are light on history, but heavy on customization and the post apocalyptic atmosphere.
Custom robo arena, A better medabots(Medarorot) game.

I can probably think of various DS games I loved, but my absolute favourite that I still like to play to this day is probably Kingdom Hearts Recoded.

I

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.

I would like to get into Etrian Odysee but I hate the fact you have to draw your own dungeon maps. I'm lazy that way.

Oh, you will get used, didn't liked the system at first, now i complain when you can't customize a map

 

[Your_Homie_Gale]

Coming up with a favorite DS game is hard but here are my contenders:

My favorite 3DS game is easily Shin Megami Tensei IV but I still made a list:

I have less favorite 3DS games because I didn't play that many 3DS games on it. Only continued playing regular DS games that I missed out on.

Might give it another go. Which Etrian odysee game would you recommend to begin with on ds or 3ds?

On the thread question, I would say Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes and Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. The only 2 I fully finished. Don't fully finish games much anymore. I liked the Resident Evil Remake on DS but when it got me to try to blow Barry back to life, I let Barry die and moved on to another game.

My favorite DS games are:
-Sonic Rush: I unironically prefer to any genesis game except for S3&K.
-Mega Man ZX: YOU CAN PLAY AS OMEGA. Enough said.
-Castlevania Portrait of Ruin: 6 playable characters, tons of side content, Charlotte is best girl, and the extra mode makes for a far better use of the stylus than Dawn of Sorrow ever did.

As for 3DS:
-Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds: Zelda game and favorite Zelda design.
-Super Smash Bros for 3DS: Smash Run > SSE.
-Kirby Triple Deluxe:It was the first game to finally dethrone Super Star as my favorite.

Might give it another go. Which Etrian odysee game would you recommend to begin with on ds or 3ds?

Is hard to tell, since absolutely NONE can be deemed Begginer Friendly, but the one that i found fairer was III: The Drowned city, the first one is good but Leveling is slow and you absolutely need a "Cookie Cutter" team to make it out, 2 has more polished mechanics and better team diversity, but some aspects will break you, 3 is the sweet spot between challenging and fair, i owe you the 3DS ones since i haven't played them

 

[Morgana Veil]

Absolutely my favorite game of all time.
I remember coming home from school and playing this for hours.

The levels are ultra hard. The character design looks like Wii graphics.
For the time, it's very engaging and educational

No one is going to buy this BS, are they?

 

[snes9x]

My personal favroites:
Advance Wars Dual Strike
The World Ends With You
Picross 3D
Kirby Canvas Curse
Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep
Rune Factory 3
Etrian Odyssey 3
SMT: Strange Journey
Elite Beat Agents
Bangai-O Spirits

Pokémon Black Pokémon x e yo-kai watch 1 23 mesmo que eu só tinha jogando 1 eu não consegui terminar o jogo do Naruto de DS de batalha que eu não me lembro o nome e outros jogos que eu não me lembro

 

[Pearly]

If I was to pick some...hmmm...two entire ds console generations that had a lot of S-tier games on there:

Dragonball Z: Attack of the saiyans
Dragon quest 8
Chrono Trigger
Dragonball Origins 2
Super mario 3d Land
Project x zone
Dragonball Extreme butoden
Pokemon black


There's definitely too many games that I really liked on the DS/3DS to pick from, genuinely was a lot of great games released on both that I play from time to time.
