The Nintendo DS appreciation thread.

So the DS is 10 years old now. So what do you think about the DS line, and what games you had for it?

Love it. My favorite handheld system, with the GBA and the 3DS coming in tied at close second. I can't even remember the number of games I've owned for it. At some point, just about every single Square-Enix JRPG released on the system was in my collection.

It's smallness and compactness can't be beat. As somebody who's stuck at school or at work for prolonged lengths of time, often just waiting for a class to start or for an unattended process to finish, it's the best thing ever.

Games I've loved the most:
The World Ends With You
Ninja Town
Chrono Trigger
Phantom Hourglass
Advanced War: Dual Strike
AW: Days of Ruin
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Space Invaders Extreme 1 &2
Geometry Wars: Galaxies

That's just the top 10.

My collection is pretty epic, I think this was the best hand held Nintendo ever made so far with 3ds and gba at a VERY close second and third. The games I have and still play to this day is.

Contra 4, bad ass game

Aliens: infestation, made by the same folk who made Contra 4.

Advance Wars Dual Strike

Advance Wars Days of Ruin

Dementium 1&2, underrated games

Glory Days 2

Ghost trick

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Castlevania: Order of Occlesia

Touch the Dead, a fun goofy game

Animal Crossing Wild World

Mario Kart DS

The World Ends With You

China Town Wars

New Super Mario Bros.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong

Golden Sun Dark Dawn

Kirby Mass Attack

Final Fantasy 4

Elite Beat Agents

Super Princess Peach

True story, I still have the original Nintendo DS-- the big, bulky blue one from when it first came out and you could get Animal Crossing or New Super Mario Bros. with it. It's been very loved but it's still kicking and works perfectly. Seriously, that thing is like a freakin' tank. Shows no signs of slowing down and I've never had any issues with it. It's really a testament to the quality of Nintendo.

My DS game collection looks something like this, although I'm sure there's some I've forgotten and I know my brother has more:
- Pokemon Pearl Version
- Pokemon Black Version
- Pokemon SoulSilver Version
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
- Animal Crossing Wild World
- Final Fantasy III
- Elite Beat Agents
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
- Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
- Crosswords DS
- CSI: Dark Motives
- CSI: Unsolved!
- Crime Lab: Body of Evidence
- Nintendogs
- Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations
- Phoenix Wright: Justice for All
- Cooking Mama
