NDS Favorite Nintendo DS or 3DS Games

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

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.

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

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?

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.

Shin megami tensei IV is my top 1 RPG of all systems.
Sadly the sequel IV Apocalypse has more polished combat but I dont like at all the story.

 

[GeraVet106]

Ocarina of time, pokemon and smash bros

 

[slime78]

Fire Emblem Awakening

 

[drasglaf]

While not 3DS exclusive, I'm playing the Phoenix Wright trilogy again, I replayed them last year and before I knew it I found myself replaying them. A bit of Phoenix Wright before going to bed helps me sleep better. I love these games.

Another one is Mario 3D land, I love the use of 3D in this game, and the game is fun to play, although a bit easy.

Also, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. It reeks of 90s cyberpunk and I love it.

 

[Feffy]

Personally, i just use the 3DS as a Fire Emblem/Etrian Odyssey machine. Monster Hunter plays much better on PSP/Vita imho.

 

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

Pokemon Sun/Moon
7th Dragon III: Code VFD
Persona Q & Q2
Dragon Ball Fusions
Pretty much any Fire Emblem
It's the perfect system to play Dragon Quest IV-IX (counting OG DS versions as well as 3DS)
Inazuma Eleven
Yo-Kai Watch 1-3

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Metroid: Samus Returns
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology
