[Courage]

Lol at Phantom Hourglass being number 2.

Where the fuck is 999?

 

[Penguin]

This isn't ordered right?

I have no idea how the top 2.. would be considered the 2 best games on the console.

 

[Portugeezer]

First post opening a can of worms.

So many games, I don't know if I could pick a favourite.

Spoiler

Zelda PH was fucking awesome

 

[Ridley327]

This is in order.

Yes, they think that NSMB is the best DS game ever.

My personal thoughts on the list: the fuck out of here with NSMB, PH, Super Scribblenauts, and Layton, put in Order of Eclessia (and make sure it's placed before Dawn of Sorrow), SMT:SJ, 999, and EBA.

 

[traveler]

I guess they did start the whole Fight and Heal meme, so i probably shouldn't have expected to see EO on here.

 

[codhand]

holy crap, a list i agree with

mostly cause they included contra 4 so high and Korg DS, also Rocket Slime

 

[Hayama Akito]

No Henry Hatsworth ;_; oh well

 

[EsotericManiac]

and here comes the order bitching...

 

[StuBurns]

Well, at least TWEWY made it in there. It should be number one, of course, but still.

 

[Baleoce]

I can't get my head around that top 2.

 

[El Pescado]

I love Phantom Hourglass, but New Super Mario Bros DS is trash.

This list is awful.

 

[SolsticeZero]

No 999? NSMB on top? That officially invalidates this list.

EDIT: And how they fuck they got Dawn of Sorrow on there but not Order of Ecclesia?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Phantom Hourglass yay!

 

[Ragus]

Worst handheld Zelda and worst 2d Mario are best DS games? Lel.

 

[Fularu]

I have 15 of those games, not bad!

 

[GAF A60-Rim A]

I have to wonder how NSMB would have been received were it not a Mario game.

 

[rockman zx]

Metroid Prime Pinball and not a single Mega Man Zero game?.......

 

[backlot]

NSMB at number 1? And Metriod Prime Pinball? Terrible.

 

[Foffy]

WOW, those first two games...really?

REALLY!? Ugh.

 

[spindashing]

Well, at least TWEWY made it in there. It should be number one, of course, but still.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[BlackJace]

#3 is about right.

 

[Lusankya]

Edit: Ups, sorry.

 

[Weiss]

Why is Devil Survivor never on theses lists?

 

[miksar]

It becomes much better if you make it 1 -> 25, 2 -> 24 ... 24 -> 2, 25 -> 1

 

[OnPoint]

Canvas Curse too low.

List feels off somehow but I'm not sure why. Aside from the fact that the number two pick wouldn't even be in my top 50.

 

[Gintoki]

No Rhythm Heaven makes me sad.

 

[Tadale]

First post should have been Elite Beat Agents.

 

[Agent Dale Cooper]

No Elite Beat Agents, go fuck youself Game Informer.

 

[Picobrain]

This isn't ordered right?

I have no idea how the top 2.. would be considered the 2 best games on the console.

Why not? I really liked that game.

 

[Alrus]

Huh NSMB is the most mediocre mario game release since the "Land" games on gameboy. I understand the significance (it sold a crapton and re-ignited people's appreciation of 2D platformers) but it certainly isn't the best DS game out there...

I guess they did start the whole Fight and Heal meme, so i probably shouldn't have expected to see EO on here.

A bit off topic but what's the Fight and Heal meme about? I never understood :/

 

[codhand]

Metroid Prime Pinball and not a single Mega Man Zero game!

i know, awesome right?

yeah elite beat should be up there tho, nsmb is an egalitarian pic, unless you post on gaf

 

[Sadist]

No 999? Awww

 

[takriel]

Phantom Hourglass instead of Spirit Tracks? LOL

 

[Lusankya]

Where the fuck is 999?

How could they miss that?

But I wonder how people would react if a GAFer posted his/her top 25 NDS games?

 

[Celegus]

No Dragon Quest IX is sad... at least FFTA2 got some love.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Well Trauma Center is on there so the top three being a travesty I can ignore

 

[JaseMath]

Phantom Hourglass was godawful. Spirit Tracks was better (but that's not saying much).

 

[oneida]

Why is Devil Survivor never on theses lists?

Fuck Devil Survivor, why is Strange Journey not on this list?

Really though, not a bad list.

 

[codhand]

How could they miss that?

But I wonder how people would react if a GAFer would post his/her top 25 NDS games?

your avg ds player would not know 50% of the top gaf 25

thats why im surprised this list has some lesser known ones like korg ds, and pinball, never played 999...

 

[Heyt]

Whoever did that list has really different taste from mine.

 

[Tuck]

The presence of Phantom Hourglass completely invalidates the list. The fact that it is at number 2 is laughable.

 

[Mistouze]

Where is Ouendan?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

A bit off topic but what's the Fight and Heal meme about? I never understood :/

When Game Informer reviewed Etrian Odyssey, the reviewer complained that he couldn't tell his own player-created party members apart, so he named them "Fight" and "Heal" to remind him of what they were used for.

 

[NekoFever]

Elite Beat Agents? Psh.

 

[Visualante2]

A synthesiser is not a game.

Cing snubbed.

 

[diffusionx]

I hate quibbling with this stuff but...

-I loved Zelda PH and it's way too high.
-Okamiden is awful.
-Where is Dragon Quest IX
-Wrong Advance Wars
-NSMB isn't the best of anything, let alone DS games

 

[Hot Coldman]

25. Korg DS-10 Synthesizer

not a game

 

[Earthpainting]

I was going to complain about the list, but seeing Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime mentioned distracted me from it. Didn't think they'd put it on there and I'm glad that they did. The secret best game of the last decade.

 

[Jotamide]

No 999? Also, Dawn of Sorrow instead of Order of Ecclesia?
