These are all the game I have played, am playing, or will play, based on reviews, people response to them, and whether they seem interesting. There are probably some duds, as I have not played the majority of them.

Have fun!

EDIT: This is just copypaste from a Word document I have set up with completed games in red etc.
I'll give the original to anybody who wants it.

 

GBATemp already has a recommended list here.

You should be able to use that if you ask first, and it's user chosen, so it's pretty accurate and probably better than mine.

But if you want to use mine, go ahead, and I'll send a new version every now and then.

I mainly made this list so I can keep track of games that look interesting, otherwise I'll forget about them. There's SO MANY...

I mostly update it based on the NDS Releases forum and the impression people have of the games in those topics. Everytime I see an interesting or high-rated game, I add it.

I don't think I'll ever complete them all though. I'm currently at 6 complete out of 154, and the amount of games is only going to get bigger...

EDIT: My list could probably be more organised... tell me if you want to use it and I'll organise it and give you a better version.

 

My main problem is that I'm a completionist.

This means that games like AWS and TWEWY will take me a very long time to complete.

If you want it, I'll fix it up this weekend and give it to you. I don't have time to find image or boxart though.
