NSMB and YIDS are both unjustly hated on. They're pretty easily the two best platformers on the DS.

Which sounds ok, until you remember the DS had very few platformers.

Oh. And also

 

[Tambini]

Really NSMB number 1? The best DS game?

 

[Off-Kilter]

NSMB and PH are top 2? Seriously?

Spoiler

Seriously?

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

NSMB isn't even the best Mario meta-franchise game on the system, let alone the best game.

Spirit Tracks is a better game than Phantom Hourglass.

Order of Ecclesia is better than Dawn of Sorrow (though DoS is still pretty darn good).

Radiant Historia and TWEWY deserve their spots, as does Ace Attorney.

I see no Rhythm Heaven, no Ouendan/EBA, no FF3make, therefore this list is invalid.

 

[Busaiku]

What a weird order.

 

[Easy_D]

They put the wrong Castlevania on there :|

 

[Ridley327]

They put the wrong Castlevania on there :|

I don't have much of an issue with DoS being on this list; I take issue with it being the only one.

 

[Espada]

Wow, the order is all wrong and many entries have better counterparts within their own series (no Days of Ruin or Order of Ecclesia? Come on now). That said, I'm glad Radiant Historia got on the list. It deserves the praise it gets. Bowser's Inside Story being on their is a good choice as well.

 

[Watashiwa]

No Shin Megami Tensei. No Infinite Space. Advance Wars Dual Strike instead of Days of Ruin.

I knew there was a reason I stopped subscribing to Game Informer. Korg DS wasn't even a *game*.

zuh?

 

[Zurres]

No 999, no Planet Puzzle League. Fail

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I'm glad that Canvas Curse got a mention. I want a Wii U/3DS sequel bad.

 

[GamerJM]

999, the main Dragon Quest games, and Elite Beat Agents got robbed.

 

[Glix]

Da Fuck???? That list is TERRIBLE

 

[leroidys]

1. mario kart ds
2. rhythm heaven
3. pokemon bw
4. castlevania OoE
5. bowsers inside story
6. pictobits
7. spirit tracks
8. castlevania DoS
9. picross ds
10. yoshis island DS
11. Suikoden Tierkreis
12. Tingles rosy rupeeland
13. Final Fantasy 4 Warriors of Light
14. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
15. phantom hourglass

Something like this. Yeah there's a couple things on the GI list I don't agree with, but honestly it's pretty hard to come up with a DS top 15. DS has a ton of great games that are all about 8.5/10. Very few games on it are clearly above everything else - I would only name my top 5 as such.

3DS has a better group of AAA (quality) games in its first year than the DS' entire library. It doesn't look like it's going to have nearly the breadth of titles as DS though.

 

[Lasdrub]

Dragon Quest 9 is missing. That list is crap to me.

 

[73V3N]

No 999 = horrible list.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Lol at Phantom Hourglass being number 2.

Where the fuck is 999?

First reply. Never disappoints.

 

[Artorias]

That's a terrible list. The worst Mario platformer of all time is your #1 DS game?

What a bleak world they must live in.

 

[CronoShot]

So the worst two DS games I own are the best two games on the DS?

 

[A Black Falcon]

Why is Phantom Hourglass even ON the list? And SECOND? Oh come on... that game's mediocre. Not terrible, not good, just average.

 

[Terrible Majesty]

Looking for Hotel Dusk. If KORG is on there, why isn't Brain Age?
