Both Golden Suns I can highly recommend. Mother 3 is a no brainer if you've heard the hype lately. Any Final Fantasy. Sonic Advance trilogy. Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland or Amazing Mirror. Megaman Battle Network 1-3 and 6 (I wouldn't try 4 and 5 as they aren't very good). Megaman Zero. Mario and Luigi.

Guru Logi Champ, SUPER ROBOT WARS OG1&2, Rythim Tengoku, Zelda: Minish Cap, Mario&Luigi SS:Saga, Megaman Battle Network, Castlevania (unavoidable title), MOTHER3 (Most beautiful and clean graphics i've seen), and finally, WarioWare. Oh, and let's not forget SNES (Remakes) and NES (Original) series.

They're butchered. Lower resolution, smaller screen, worse sound, fewer buttons. And the NES ports are awful, flickering, unresponsive, squashed. Ports in general are bad. : (

This is true of all games on handhelds. 99.9% of them would be better on home consoles. Take Mother 3 for example. Wouldn't you like to play it on a larger display, with better sound? Mother 3 is still an incredible game, but it would be so much more so on a SNES.

Oh snap you got me. That's very true. Come to think of it, there are ways to play handheld games on the TV for every handheld system except the DS!

Still, handheld games are often gimped, either by developers who don't put as much effort into games, or by technical limitations. And since most games for handhelds are 2D, with the exception of stuff like Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, which wouldn't be possible on a console, the Lego games, which are obviously out to get everyone's money, and Monster Hunter, which uses the one advantage of handhelds, portability, over consoles, 2D games in general aren't as good as they could be. Being a lover of 2D games, this bothers me.
