 Post your essential (favourite) Nintendo Dual-Screen games in this topic and they'll be added to the list, for others to refer to when deciding which game to play. If there is a game already on the list that you think should not be there let me know and it'll have a point removed (so if there are more negative than positive votes then the game will be removed entirely off the list). You may also recommend some more games in a future post but: (1) you must not repeat any game you have already mentioned and (2) you must make a new post, do NOT edit your previous post as it may not be seen. Genre Key: 
WARNING: SPOILER INSIDE

Clearly, Phoenix Wright and New Super Mario Bros. should go on without the need for 5 votes.
 Oh, and Mario Kart, Tetris, Wario Ware, Metroid Prime: Hunters... EDIT: And Starfox Command and Advance Wars: Dual Strike. This post has been edited by alexp2_ad: Sep 2 2006, 05:25 PM |

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Mario Kart DS Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Advance Wars: Dual Strike Animal Crossing: Wild World Trauma Center: Under the Knife New Super Mario Bros. Magnetica I'd like to know how much hours those game stole me. i'd estimate over 2-3 hundred hours combined. I looked at that (the essentials )as what would be the games i go out and buy, and those are the ones ( i actually did buy most of em) There's plenty of other good games but for anyone who like there respective genre, those are all brilliant games. Work of art that must be played by any DS owner. This post has been edited by wabo: Sep 2 2006, 08:12 PM |
