Definitely not. Probably my current favorite game on the system. That said, this Ninja Gaiden is pretty much straight-up action. However, the TC mentioned Soma Bringer and ToI....

Adventure?

To me, the best "adventure" games on the DS are probably Phantom Hourglass and Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. Of course, others will tell you Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk and the like are adventure games, but I never felt like I was on an adventure playing them. Great games, but a bit too passive to be considered by me as adventures. REDS, though, probably fits the bill best, with what's on this system.

Try Magical Starsign, a great RPG.


eh....dunno about that.
ditto.

FFCC Ring of Fates? as it sounds like you're really interested in action RPGs (ARPGs slightly heavier on RPG aspects than action0adventures).

There were some other fantasy type ARPGs, and action-adventures for the DS and more for the GBA (ATM) but I don't recall all of the names offhand as neither are my favorite genres.

Phoenix Wright series, Hotel Dusk, etc. are closer to more "traditional" graphical adventure games, but have fewer options, typically, than Windows based adventure games, but can still be fun. Stay away from the Myst re-make unless you are a masochist as they did a poor porting job, the controls are horrible and the graphics were not remade to accomodate a lower resolution physically smaller screen well.

The phoenix wright series.

Probably some of the best games I've ever played.

If you want the full experience you need to play all 3 though. Forget about 4 until you beat all 3.

the ace attorney games ARE really good, but not action or adventure. ffcc ring of fates is a good game though (if you don't get moogles of death that is). multiplayer is awesome.

I never thought you'd forget Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.
Brilliant game, kind of liek pokeymanz but slightly different and in full 3d.

Other than that try the Megaman Star Force series/Battle Network.

If you want a true "adventure game" I would recommend downloading ScummVM DS and playing Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle.

If you want an RPG, check out Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, Etrian Odyssey and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals.

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
