I seem to have a fetish for making "favorite x" threads, huh? xP

Anyways, what are your 3 most favorite games released on the DS platform? This means anything on DS or 3DS, excluding- Remakes, re-releases, collections, or anything on the eShop. Basically, if you could buy it physically, and it wasn't something that had been released before, it counts. With that said, here are mine-

  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
  • Okamiden
  • Metroid Prime Pinball

Honorable mentions go to Diner Dash, Pokémon Platinum, and Sonic Rush.

Still need to find some of those. Every time I see Aliens: Infestation mentioned, I want it. The two ZX games and Ghost Trick for myself would be nice as well.

Aliens:Infestation is by far is one of my favorite Metroidvania games, Mega Man ZX is good too but Alien's difficulty makes it so satisfying as you progress through the game.

Ghost Trick is another must play.

I should finish Pheonix Wright ;_;

Yeah, I've played and beaten the other three, just never owned them. I own a -censored- which I've occasionally used to try games I want. Those three I couldn't put down. :P

Unfortunately, the thing doesn't work that well now, I need to replace it.

I feel bad that I pirated them now. I really really want to find a job as soon as possible so I can buy them and stop feeling bad.

Also have you looked into a DSTwo?

DSTwo? That one of the newer carts? I just used an AceKard.

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Nope, DSTwo is pretty old. Pre- DSi I believe.
They're pretty pricey though they cost around $40 USD but they're the best cart available. The cart itself has a CPU so it can do GBA and SNES emulation amazingly.
Not only that but it's one of the few carts that still gets updated with every new 3DS firmware unlike Acekard.

Oh, I remember that one now. Its been years, and I only remember the R4 crap and AceKard.

And since I don't own a 3DS (or plan on getting one any time soon), I'd rather save my cash. The few choices I can get down here are overpriced. TTDS is one I'd be more likely to get since I still use a DS Lite and the cards themselves are about NZ$25, and just use the most recent Retro firmware.

Since the subject of the things was brought up, I just want to mention that unofficial open-source DS port of Lemmings, which is absolutely wonderful.

Would you recommend Devil Survivor or Strange Journey for a newbie in SMT series?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Both are pretty accessible and pretty much comes down to what you prefer playing a sRPG (Devil Survivor) or a first-person dungeon crawler (Strange Journey).

I had plenty of fun playing both, but I will say this Strange Journey felt more rewarding as opposed to Devil Survivor.

(We should play sven co-op sometime again ;_; if you want )

  1. Surprised no one has mentioned Fire Emblem Awakening.
  2. Rondo of Swords is something I don't ever see mentioned, it's an interesting take on the strategy genre where you run through enemies rather than standing next to them and hitting them. It also contains a fairly excellent moral choice based on your actions that changes how the entire rest of the game plays out.
  3. I can't decide this one as it's a toss-up between either of the Megaman ZX games and any Pheonix Wright game.

It would seem that very few are following your instructions, that said here are my honorable mentions which will include remakes/re-releases/collections.

Kid Icarus Uprising is really good, though you will need some dexterity to hold the 3DS and push buttons in the same hand while pushing on the 3DS with the stylus in the other.

  • A Professor Layton game. (I have only played diabolical box, but the puzzles are the main draw and unless diabolical box has the only good puzzles, any of them should be fine)
  • Kirby Superstar Ultra (remake)
  • Megaman Zero Collection (collection, dur)
  • Sonic the Hedgehog Collection (collection, again)
  • Chrono Trigger (re-release)

I really want a 3DS to experience many great games it had to offer, though I used to have a ordinary Nintendo DS Lite and I put so much hours into Pokemon Diamond, also I enjoyed the Super Mario Bros game and Animal Crossing Wild World :D
