| I just got my hands on a NDS that a friend didnt use anymore and I wanted to get some good games for it. I'm looking for game that has really good story and enjoyable characters. Wether its a Visual Novel or not doestn matter. So far I have my eyes on 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, would you recomend that? |
| Any particular genre or other criteria you are interested in? If it is just main focus on the story I would mainly refer to the andventure and rpg genre: adventures - Hotel Dusk - Last Window - Ace Attorney Series - Ghost Trick - Another Code - Time Hollow - Theresia rpg - Radiant Historia - Covenant of Plume - Devil Survivor I & II - Suikoden Tierkreis - Infinite Space - Golden Sun 3 - Final Fantasy IV and Gaiden - Dragon Quest series and that are only the ones I can pull from my memory right now just for reference because the topic of good ds games pops up every now and again - the last one we had was here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=593593&show=20 maybe it helps looking up some of the mentioned games |

| My biggest recommendation: Ghost Trick - Phantom Detective Has the best animations in all gaming history. Professor Layton series are great. Don't trust people that recommend you nintendo games. They are always mainstream and bad. Once you find out that the best games are not the famous one, but the hidden gems, you'll see a whole new world in front of your eyes. I would recommend you way more, but my NDS is not close to me right now. |
 |
| All the Zelda games, the remakes of Gold/Silver, Chrono Trigger (though I recommend playing the original first; also dat compressed audio). |

Thats why I asked cause I know of all the ''known'' titles but its the hidden gems Im looking for and preferably those with a really good story. I will check out Ghost Trick. |
| RPGs: Disgaea. Also Tales of Innocence is a good RPG for DS there's no official release, but if you have a R4 card there's a translated version out. |
| Megaman Starforce series. |
 Steam: Zeemanhuismerk |
| Pokémon Heartgold/Soulsilver The Phoenix Wright series The legend of Zelda: Spirit tracks |
| The World Ends with You is probably a good pick. It has an interesting story, great characters, and pretty unique gameplay for an rpg. |

I simply couldn't believe when I started playing. It had better animations them a lot of shit at xbox and ps3. They were smooth, they were not repeating themselves to create the illusion of a continuous movement. It was simply amazing. The dancing detective is so cool :3 There was a game that has a collection of a lot of 90s games, and a lot of magazines with cheat codes. You basically travel in the time and need to beat those 90s games, with the help of magazines that will give you tips and cheats. It was very good. If someone can remember the name... Oh, a nintendo game that is slighty famous but worth mentioning: Picross. Basically a sudoku without numbers, very good (and hard :P) |
|
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Even if you aren't a big Castlevania fan, do try to give it a chance, the game play is amazing and has RPG elements unlike some of the older games. Other good ones are:
Disgaea and Phoenix Wright have stronger characters and stories and Advanced Wars and 'Mario and Luigi' have more fun game play |

| I definitely recommend 999. It has a very engaging story with multiple 'bad' endings and one 'true' ending, so you'll be playing for a really long time. The characters are all interesting in their own way and the puzzles can actually be challening at times. It also has a 3DS sequel, called 'Virtue's Last Reward' so if you have a 3DS, I recommend it as well. |
| good story and enjoyable characters? I think Suikoden Tierkreis is your best bet. Currently playing Chorno trigger myself. |
 .. |
| I dont play much ds any more but here are my fav Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and if you have a 3ds monster hunter |
 |
| THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU best game of DS IMO(and i have played many DS games) its like playing an anime and its set in Japan AND IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST STORIES IN VIDEO GAMES(i can even compare it to metal gear!!) |
thanossapiens said: THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU best game of DS IMO(and i have played many DS games) That is your opinion. thanossapiens said: AND IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST STORIES IN VIDEO GAMES(i can even compare it to metal gear!!) What? Metal Gear does not have thaaaat good story. It just has some epic moments. The focus is not story, but gameplay. |
|
[9] Nine hours [9] Nine persons [9] Nine doors Badass. And it has a sequel. |
 |
| 999 is the best DS game I've played. Hmmm... Time Hollow and Lux Pain were pretty interesting too... Other than the games I listed and TWEWY no other DS games that I've played really stood out for me. |
 |
| Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. A strategy game settled in a post apocalyptic world. Very interesting story and gameplay. |
| 999, Ghost Trick, and the Ace Attorney series are must-haves if you want a good story. |

| Most of the final fantsy games and mario games, legend of zelda spirit tracks, dragon quest games are always good, the ace attorney games are worth playing |

You guys have no idea the NDS game library has more than 200 titles that are 500% better than any Nintendo game you can pick, but have no fame because Nintendo didn't let them grow (they depend on the fans) |
|
| Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 Devil Survivor Really good games that I would suggest giving a go. Granted I don't play many DS games, usually borrow my brothers when I'm going on a trip. |
| Are you fucking serious? I acknowledge the DS has a great library besides nintendo games, but you throwing it out as a fact that those games ARE better, stop doing that shit. |
| This guy. Congrats, midapul, you have made me laugh. I tip my fedora to you, good sir. You are truly a paragon of impeccable taste. ;) |
| This love for Hirasawa Yui consumes me, washing over my dirty weeaboo body with a cleansing warmth that allows me to reach greater heights. It inspires me to be a better man; not the man they deserve, but the man she deserves. Yui, I love you. With everything I have. You are my one, my only. Mai waifu. |

Please continue playing your shitty 3rd world games while the rest of us have fun, the whole point of playing games |

lupadim said: You're contradicting yourself is what I'm getting at, you keep bashing Nintendo, but then turn around and recommend Nintendo games, not to mention you're the one who used the anime analogy which was a terrible analogy because you ARE one of those people who has only seen a few crappy, over-hyped anime, so by your logic no one should play any of the games YOU recommend. As for your comment about my signature, you're not allowed to have an opinion on Spice and Wolf because you haven't seen it, I've actually seen One Piece so I'm able to formulate an educated opinion that it's garbage, but that's a whole other irrelevant discussion.deadjames said: lupadim said: Says the guy who gave One Piece a 10, your taste in anime is just as shitty as your taste in games, and trust me bro, I've seen far more anime than you and based on the fact that I game more frequently than I watch anime I'm willing to bet I've played a lot more games than you too.
