What should I play on this? Do you guys have a favorite hidden gem?
>>738628227Not sure aboit hidden but I do like the dark spire.
>>738628227I'm playing pokemon platinum on a emulator right now
>>738628227Functionally there's no hidden gems on this thing. You already know everything for it. It's a DS.
>>738628227Mario Kart DS. It's not a hidden gem though
>>738628227Pic rel is my favorite not-talked-about-enough DS game. Not sure if it counts since it was on PSP too, but the DS version imo is the better one. Funky ttrpg/bullet hell hybrid, really really fucking good art, great music, and utilizes touch controls really well which is always a big plus for me when it comes to DS games. Story didn't do much for me though.>>738628819The DS is right up there with the PS2 in terms of hidden gems (as much as I hate this terminology). Thousands of titles, lots of JP exclusive, tons and tons of third party support.
>>738629541>The DS is right up there with the PS2 in terms of hidden gemsNow I have to clean up capri sun from my monitor.
>>738629634>ps2 babby>can't keep juice in mouthkek writes itselfEnjoy uhhh FFX I guess
>>738629541This one looks really interesting if nothing else, thanks anon
>>738631828Because *that* was worth bumping the thread for.

>>738628227>18-19 years ago>see pic related at a game stop bargain bin for like $5>never heard of it, decide to buy it on a whim>played the first couple of chapters, it's pretty boring. Put it down for a while.>a year or two later, I see /v/ sucking its dick>decide to give it another go>it's actually halfway decentNot amazing. But definitely better than I expected it to be. And not quite a hidden gem, but it kinda flew under the radar.
Radiant Historia, but the 3DS remake is better so I recommend that one. The OG is fine though
>>738628227Alright which one of you glowies is spying on me, I just finished sorting and torrenting my DS library yesterday, /v/ was nothing but Star Fox shitposts and now this is the fourth DS thread I've seen on this board. I still appreciate the recs though.
Can't say for sure if it holds up, but I was a fan of the chibi robo game it got. I remember the gamecube one being better, but it might still be worth going back to.

Most of the games are shovelware trash designed for little kids. The ones that rely on the stylus aren't as fun as I thought they would be. There's maybe 30 good games and about 20 very good ones. Everything else is hot garbo. You'll get bored of them after the novelty of playing a new game wears off.
>>738634818>a series of ridiculous coincidences, the video gameIt's alright.
The World Ends With You None of the ports come close to the PEAK of DS style
>>738628227
>>738632132Arguably, the PSP version is better.
>>738628227izuna legend of the unemployed ninja is kino. Shame the second one removed the ability to save between floors, I still play Izuna on my phone because it's so easy to start and stop
By all accounts it's not very good, but damn if it isn't neat to see a miniaturized interpretation of the MMO.
>>738628227You don't understand how cool Fighting Fantasy DS is. Pic for ants, sorry

>>738638324>look up Ketsui Death Label>shmup on the 240p DSthat is a special kind of purgatory
>>738638449If nothing else, it did adequately prepare me for the boss fights when I actually got to play the full game of Ketsui roughly two years later. The stages were still challenging but I breezed through the bosses.
>>738628227>Soma Bringer>Blue Dragon Awakened ShadowThese were great co-op games
>>738638489>Blue Dragon Awakened ShadowHow does it compare to the X360 game?
>>738628227Play the Mario and Luigi games
The Castlevania games.
>>738638087That's right, before me this place was merely a collection of screenshots in GaiaOnline YLYL threads.
>>738638786>gaiaonline could scry posts from the future internetO_Otyping the name of a 2000s website does not make your underage ass old to 4chan LMAO don't punch another hole in your single mom's drywall
>>738628227Solatorobo, its an action RPG with French furries in mechs and sky islands
>>738639249>>738638743Better on Switch.
>>738639249Too bad that it's easy
>>738628227not a hidden gem but 999 nine Hours nine persons nine doors is a great vn
>>738640735>play>vn
>>738640057>DS Castlevania games>better without the 2nd screen for the map in real time
>>738628227Turn it around but you need an actual physical ds to enjoy it.
>>738628227Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Dragon Quest 4-6Resident Evil Deadly Silence
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Unironically. I had the #3 world record at 2h 3m, before faggots started hacking and filling the leaderboards with 0h 0m 1s)
>>738628227Dragon quest monsters joker and joker 2.
>>738641194Good for you anon, unironically. I wish I could be thay good at vidya
>>738641963Thanks. It took me a few runs to get it down to that point. Dodge rolling instead of running, and spamming Ultimate Technique during fights. I probably could have gotten #1 on the next run, but then those fags ruined the leaderboards. Whatever makes their dicks hard, I guess.
>>738641194tranny
>>738639249Someone recommended this to me years back and it's actually fucking nothing. It's just fetch quests the game for hours on end with the easiest 'combat' known to man.
>>738628227Hidden gems/underappreciated DS games:>Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime (very unique action game)>Super Princess Peach (ridiculously good, though too easy)>Contra 4>Yoshi Touch & Go>Kirby's Canvas Curse>Spout Extended (homebrew)>Marshmallow Duel DS (homebrew, 2 player on 1 DS)>Monster Tale (too easy and short, but nice)>Tetris DS (arguably the best version of Tetris, with amazing multiplayer modes)And then there are the very famous games:>Super Mario 64 DS>Metroid Prime Hunters (excellent multiplayer)>Castlevania Dawn, Portrait, Ecclesia>Mario Kart DS>Ace Attorney>Room 215>Chrono Trigger>Resident Evil
>>738642786skill issue
>>738644089There are also many cool ports>Doom (actually plays really well on the DS)>Hexen>Quake (runs pretty slow)Someone also began work on a Spelunky remake, but only completed the first stages (cave):https://youtube.com/watch?v=k8OznPIa6mY
>>738628227>>738644521
>>738641194Definitely the best game I played on the DS.
>>738646390>Cute badass kunoichiAlright, I'm in.
>>738646745Oh dude, this game created the cutest and baddest of them all, for me.
>>738628227Any of the smt games on it, RE1 DS, the world ends with you (my personal favorite), any ds Pokemon, any ds Castlevania, too many great games really.
>>738644521It's a little outdated. Several of those Japan-only games got English releases (Phantasy Star Zero, Knights in the Nightmare, and Daigasso Band Brothers DX). The rest have fan translations.
>>738629541>generic shallow cookie cutter Atlus garbage
>using generic for fucking Knights in the Nightmareskek these trannies just want to be contrarian
>>738650001it's literally the most complicated game ever
