Gaming The Most Under-rated NDS games

[Vampant]

im actually enjoying play surfs up, pretty simply but to me enjoyable

Can we please implement a voting system for this? I like the idea but alot of these games are just bad, and thats why they are rated badly.

JSS is underrated? Wasn't it the top selling DS game before animal crossing came out?

 

[jenngcia]

I think 'Underrated' could mean overlooked as well. I think IGN did an Underrated series for all games a few years back, and Ico (PS1) bag the top prize, that game (Ico) was also critically acclaimed but few have ever played it...

With that definition: JSS, Ouendan, and Picross would fit the bill, at least in this (US/Europe) side of the world. I do hope Picross sell well enough to be off that list, as I like that game (enough to shell out some cash to support the developers, so to speak.

)

add Luminous Arc for the must haves..

I highly recommend Rayman Raving Rabbids.
The graphics on the game are really bad, I can't deny it. But it's a really fun platform game and the background music is hilarious!
Most gaming sites gave it a low score because of the graphics :/

I know Super peach was a girl game and was really really easy but i kinda liked it

0570-0905 Danny Phantom Urban Jungle: Solid old school shooter, some nice bosses.

0851-0855 Kim Possible Jetforce Gemini: Nice platformer/action game, I think it uses a Shin'en graphic engine so the graphics are pretty nice.

I think that's it for now and no, there's not a pattern here

I would try those. but just 3 problems:

1. liscense games piss me off
2. disney channel REALLY pisses me off
3. nickelodeon pisses me off.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Chousoujuu Mecha MG yet. It's the greatest DS game no one's ever played.

(oh, and "hi". I've been lurking for a while...)

Hey, welcome. I agree on Chousoujuu. It's an awesome title that hardly anyone seems to have noticed. I liked it so much I wrote a translation FAQ on it

PicrossDS has had an (English) European version out for months now. No need to have a (J) after it. Not that it matters so much for that sort of game if you understand the gameplay, but it's worth pointing out.

Was reading the first post for this topic and um... How can you say that list is of "overlooked" games, I've played pretty much every game on that list and so has everyone else I know...

 

[roadbusta]

Eragon got pretty bad reviews, but it's not that bad. An inovative idea, but bad storyline. Maybe you should add this....

 

[wiithepeople]

Is Jump Ultimate Stars (J) easy enough to understand if you know absolutely no Japanese? May sound like weird question

 

[pasc]

Eragon was/is a in my eys VERY underrated game ! It had a open Overworld, a skill system a 3rd person view, it was just great, but I sadly already played it through so I won't have any motivation to play it again

.

Anyway Hopefully Way in the Dusk, Tales of Innocence and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days will keep me busy, cause they seem to shape up pretty nicely, I love Adventure Games since Eragon (I even played The Legend of zelda - The ocarina of time cause of it ^^)


BTW: More Underrated games:

Gba: Payback, Zone of the Enders, Banjo Kazooie
NDS: Nanostray, Brothers in Arms DS, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (though 3 sucked in my opinion)

Whoops... i should start reading topic tiles more carefully... only DS huh ? Well I think no one will argue about those Gba Titles I listed, or ?

Chronos Tween and Asphalt 2.

3 words.
Custom.
Robo. Arena.

Battle system just like the GCN!
How can you NOT love it?

However, like on GCN, battles are pretty easy.
And stupid mom makes you sit down for breakfast every morning.

I'm sure I have more on my flashcard.

 

[War]

Hmm...I think Megaman ZX and ZXA are pretty underappreciated, and I loved them both!~

 

[Sonicslasher]

was ET for NDS?

 

[PanzerWF]

I thought Puzzle Quest was pretty good. It's a puzzle-RPG blend and it's based on Bejeweled and it was pretty addictive.
