What was the worst ds game you ever played ?

[Gabi]

As someone that loves Inazuma series, I feel offended.

I love the anime but hate the game

I would like to read ur opinion tho

To elaborate a little on the two games I mentioned.
Metroid Prime Hunters I barely remember but from what I do it was adequate FPS with stylus controls that I didn't like.
Phantom Hourglass was an overwise good game but I disliked all the backtracking in The Temple of the Ocean King.

Lunar: Dragon Song

Walking is a slog, Running LITERALLY HURTS YOU, having to choose between items and experience after battles is a clumsy mess, some enemies can actually destroy your weapons and armor (I HATE THAT TROPE, now imagine losing them to something that isn't your fault) and a deal breaker in an RPG is
NOT BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR TARGET IN A BATTLE

I love Lunar, but after not being able to reach the first boss out of sheer frustration, i get why the saga is now a ghoul that only get remakes of the first game

I love to forget that this game exists. Nevermind my previous post, this is my answer.

This was an attempt at translating the 3D fighters to a handheld. Then again this was also a time where TOMY shat Naruto games out en masse, so the quality varied.

Thinking back on my time with the OG DS I struggle to think of any true stinkers that I played. I've always had pretty low standards though cause even when my younger siblings would rent stuff like Madagascar I'd have a decent time plowing through them in an afternoon.

If I had to pick from the games I did play though, it would be Teenage Zombies. The game isn't terrible or anything, it looks fine, isn't buggy and plays decently enough. It is just impressive that I played it when I was at the peak of my zombie obsession and everything about it felt so bland or lifeless that I struggled to make it past the third stage. Need to stress that by no means is this a terrible game, it's just the one DS game I can vividly remember being apathetic to the point of disliking with.

Princess throws tantrums until her servants literally change the world for her. Game play is very repetitive, princess doesnt undergo any character growth and the world the princess changes isnt even impactful to anything. It's all a fake charade and she learns nothing from it.

The DS version of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was one of the buggiest games I ever played. Endor Han Solo couldn't be chosen in Free Play Mode, and it's possible for a save slot to make it so that IG-88 is impossible to unlock. It's been so long since I played it, though.

Not as bad as Lunar: Dragon Crap, since i still managed to beat both of them, but the Legacy of YS compilation of YS 1 and 2 are way cruder than the PSP port, screen is too zoomed, 3d Graphics are way too basic, hitbox detection is even worse than the NES ones (At least you can choose to play with a designated sword button) and the DS doesn't make justice for the great music of the remakes
