Favorite Ds game, only one

[Buddy]

Trace Memory without question.

I wouldn't call it my favorite by a long shot (I liked Hotel Dusk more), but since I don't think you'd find it for very much these days (I got mine from Toys R Us for $10) it's definitely one to check out.

Easily Kirby's Canvas Curse.  Really enjoy it.

edit:  Forgot about phoenix wright series.  The first game is definitely a close second.

Y'know, I'm a big fan of Canvas Curse as well. Good times.

But my winner goes to...

UGH!

it goes to...

fuck it. I can't answer. It goes to the Gyakuten Saiban series. You know Phoenix Wright / Apollo Justice Ace Attorney series? If I have to drop something, I'll gladly drop 2 ("Justice For All"), but the other three are all SO CLOSE for me, well damn, they tie.

Only one, people.

Advanced War: Days of Ruin has my vote for having my fav illustrator, and great campaigns and story that is just out there far enough for me to never take seriously.

Non Port - Trauma Center
Port - Super Mario 64

Magical Starsign.  So many other options were essentially ports, so I'm going with Magical Starsign.  I really liked that game.

Port - Super Mario 64

Uhh... How? Seriously, I'm curious about the rationale for this, depriving it of its native control method leaves either the touch screen which isn't a very functional substitute, or the D-Pad which shows exactly why Nintendo introduced the analog stick.

Yeah I thought the Super Mario 64 port was pretty mediocre.

I played Super Mario 64 with the original thumb pad and I thought that worked quite well. Although I read that Rayman DS (which I've not played) used the thumb pad in a better way. 

I'ts about time the D-pad was improved.

I'ts about time the D-pad was improved.

While the DS lite's was kinda crummy thanks to poor diagonals, it's not bad D-Pad design at fault, but rather its very nature. 8 directions isn't enough for a full 3D game with precision platforming.

And admittedly, I lost my thumb pad and might be able to better enjoy it if I found it, but since it's not bundled with the DS anymore I don't consider it a very strong defense.

[Zool]

I don't consider it a very strong defense.

...........no but it played ok. Maybe they should have designed it to play using the stylus.............. like Zelda phglass.

[ShadowLaguna]

Super Mario 64 + D-Pad = Hell.

The next Nintendo handheld needs an analog stick.

[Wingman]

I'm gonna have to say Mario Kart DS, due to the fact of the amount of hours I've put into it.

Chrono Trigger, Phantom Hourglass, and Suikoden are up there, too.

Argh... Can't decide whether it's Cooking Mama or Phoenix Wright...





Phoenix Wright then. :P
