True Swing Golf is really good too, surprisingly.

Where's all the Nanostray love these days? I still say it's one of the best games on the system... It seems almost like most people don't know it exists...

I'd say...

1: Mario Kart - You can't deny this, really... It's almost everything it could ever be. Only improvement to make is more glitches.

(I liked those wall-jumping tricks in MK64.)
2: Metroid Hunters - We needed a good online FPS. The DS should be chocked full of them... Where in hell are they?!
3: Akumajou Dracula - Yes, that's right. The Japanese one. It was indeed the superior region of the game.
4: Nanostray - You knew it was comming. Nanostray is still one of my favorite SHMUPS, and I've played it more than any DS game I can think of.
5: Puzzle Bobble DS - I shouldn't need to explain this. It's common sense, really.
6: Iron Feathers - It has nice animation on the characters, very nice sound, very nice atmosphere. Also, there's more tactics to it than people seem to be willing to admit. I haven't been able to do anything button mashing at all.
7: Kirby's Canvas Curse - A great game, no doubt. A real shocker to most of the community, too.
8: Mario 64 DS - A port of a classic, and a very good one, at that. New characters, new/modified levels, new stars... And it's not like Mario 64 isn't the best 3D Mario game so far.

9: Children of Mana - It's good. It's the first game I've seen with a proper 2D lightmap. If we could expand this with transparant shading sprited overtop of the regular sprites, it could look incredible.
10: New Super Mario Bros. - A good game. A very good game. A big disappointment, though. It doesn't feel like a Mario.
11: REDS - A pretty well done port of another classic. Not a marvel by any means, but still a fun game.
12: Xenosaga 1+2 - It gets a lot of hate, but it's a port of 2 PS2 games. That's gotta be respectable. On top of that, it's actually a fun game to play.(Immagine that... A Xenosaga that you don't just watch.)
13: Metroid Prime Pinball - It's a very good pinball game. Very very good.
14: Gouma Reifu Den Idzuna - It's good, actually. People were turned away by "Dungeon RPG", and never gave it a shot. I've even seen it called a Button Masher before, when it's not even in real-time. If you've ever played Dokapon, dungeon movement is like that. You take a step, so does every monster in the dungeon. Attacking lets the other monsters make one move, too. It's actually quite entertaining.
15: Bust-A-Move DS - It's pretty good.

Thanks for your input Shado.

I've noticed a lot of you are saying Phoenix Wright. Any reasons why? I'd never heard about it until I started this thread ::duck:: what makes it so good?

Incredible writing. Very humourous and lots of plot twists that are fun to figure out. That, and it's just plain fun.

The fact that the game is (or was) quite hard to get just adds to the game's value too.

 

[Hitto]

Many reasons : Phoenix Wright is /v/'s mascot. If the cesspool of the internet likes a game, usually, it's that good or even better. Also, the game itself has great writing, it's fun to be able to scream "OBJECTION!" and "TAKE THIS!" into the mic (even though it's completely optional), and it's looooong.

Beware, though, its replay value is zero.

I want to add Puyo Pop Fever, which seems mostly forgotten.

However, it's Puyo Pop! Including single card play.

WarioWare is a excellant game for the use of the stylus

 

[DjFIL]

based on only 1 week of me having my DS, and i've probably not discovered some of the other great titles out there... but my top 15 so far.

Big Brain Academy (i prefer the games in this compared to brain age)
Feel The Magic XY XX (i'm addicted, it's wario ware, but with a "story" and longer games)
Magnetica (zuma clone... good fun for short bursts... controls are good)
Mario Kart DS (come on... it's mario kart... and the only good racing game on the DS)
Mario & Luigi : Partners in Time (haven't had much time for an RPG yet, but what I have played of this is great)
Meteos (i loved lumines on PSP, this is right up there with how addicitng that game was)
Metroid Prime Hunters (i was amazed at how well the controls really work, but the lack of save points make me mad)
New Super Mario Bros (the perfect new mario game... true perfection)
Phoenix Wright (this game is just amazing, i can't believe how well the gameplay works)
Sega Casino (the poker ai is too easy, but other then that this is the ultimate handheld casino)
Sonic Rush (welcome back to 2D sonic... it's good to see you in your classic form)
Trauma Centre (just awesome... this game is so much fun)
True Swing Golf (once i found out how easy the putting is, this is a really fun golf game)
WarioWare Touched (wario ware... need i say more?)
Zoo Keeper (i love having stylus control... this is the best bejeweled clone there is)

Best game on the DS is: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!

Genius game and no DS owner should be without it.

You visit /v/? I never knew that an avid gamer such as yourself would ever be browsing places like that one. I'm a /v/-tard myself (a tripfag at that) but I only tend to read Phoenix Wright, Persona 3 or Silent Hill threads, as those are some of the few threads with worthwhile content.

As for recommendable games. I only have 2 so far (because I only own 2): Mario Kart DS and Phoenix Wright, and I'm loving every minute of them.

As for replay value of Phoenix Wright as a game, sure it might be close to zero, but it's the closest thing to re-reading a beloved book/novel on your DS, so I wouldn't mind playing it again (after waiting several months since the last playthrough of course...).
