The World Ends With You
SMT: Devil Survivor
SMT: Strange Journey
999 (Definitely play this if you're not going to play any another games)
Professor Layton series (If you're into puzzles)
Golden Sun DS (Some complained it was too easy though)

*Jump Ultimate Stars is really fun too (Think of it as Shonen Jump meets Super Smash). It's a Japanese game, but there are translated versions out there...

Probably the best square RPG in the last 5 years, combat revolves around pins that you collect lots of customizability although the controls can sometimes be a teensy bit wonky

Elite Beat Agents
Check out the Osu! thread on TL its basically the exact same game.

Pokemon
If you havent played a pokemon game in god knows how long grab Heartgold or Soulsilver finish those then play Black/White (unless you never played Gold or Silver in which case just skip to B/W)

Mario Games
New Super Mario Bros. - Awesome platformer all around
Mario 64 DS - A slightly enhanced port of Mario 64
Mario kart DS
Mario + Luigi Patners in Time and Bowsers inside story are great fun if your into RPGS

Professor Layton
Never played myself but always gets praised



I got HeartGold in my birthday and I'm wondering why should I play it before getting Black / White.
I've just played Pokémon Yellow for the GBC.

Edit: Wrong quoting. :p

Rune Factory 1-2-3, truly superb games that last forever. They mix Harvest Moon with basic RPG fighting-elements, a real blast!

This list is pretty good and a fairly varied selection, make sure you go past the top 25 and into the rest of the article because he talks about even more DS games.1up.com DS List

My Personal Best DS games list as of this post

1. The World Ends with You-Has been recommended in this thread several times, and I could not agree more. Personally I think it is possibly the best RPG Square has released since the SNES (And I don't make that statement lightly, I love Square Enix even if their RPG quality has dipped a bit in recent years)

2. Pokemon Black & White-The Best New Pokemon Games since Gold and Silver imo, just great.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks-Its a really fun and charming game like everything in the Zelda series. I'm personally a big fan of the Windwaker-esque graphics. The other Zelda on this DS, Phantom Hourglass, is basically the same (and also quite good) but has a couple of big flaws that they got rid of in Spirit Tracks.

4. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow-I'm a big fan of Metroidvania games in general, and this is one of the best games of that style. In my opinion it is the second best Castlevania game (after Symphony of the Night on Playstation). Its only real problem is it has a couple of pointless-tacked on touchscreen stuff that they put in since it came out within the first year of the DS's release, but they are only very minor annoyances. Also having a second screen for the map is so incredibly nice in this style of game

5. Kirby: Canvas Curse-Really the first game that made me think that the DS was really a brilliant concept that could add really fun and innovative gameplay elements. Any summary of its mechanics in this short a post would be doing it a disservice, but essentially it is a 2d platformer that you control by drawing paths on the touchscreen.

I could go on past 5, but for my personal favorites I'll just leave it at that many.

And those are just the games that I have played, there are tons of other great games on the system that I have yet to play (I personally have like 10 games for it up on my shelf that I really want to play and I think would have a decent chance of making that top 5 when I do get around to playing them, and there are plenty of others that I have yet to obtain).

Also it has a number of re-releases, but the only one that I can personally vouch for the quality of the remake/port is Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver which is great. It also has a number of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy remakes that I have heard good things about. Also, it has Chrono Trigger (which is basically just a port from what I've heard) which is arguably THE best JRPG ever, and one of the best games ever of any Genre (I've played the SNES version).

I really enjoyed GTA: Chinatwon Wars. There was some touchscreen bullshit, but the game itself definetly felt like a GTA game.

I am actually not a fan of the Zelda games on the DS. (Which is a carefully considered position, given that I have loved every title since playing the original). The controls just don`t do it for me, probably because I`m old fashioned

The world ends with you is seriously the best game i've played in my life. Maybe tied with starcraft. It felt you with that inspirational feeling you get when you read an amazing book, or have that perfect moment. It's great. Not to mention it's hellaz fun.

Also professer layton games are sooo fucking good. Good story, fun puzzles, epic badass characters. AMAZING MUSIC.

But yeah... play the world ends with you. it's great.
Elegance, in all things.

Ace Attorney is one of my favourite series on the DS.

Can't go wrong with Pokemon either.

The FF4 remake for DS is great if you love JRPGs too. They did an amazing job modernising it while keeping true to the original SNES version.

This list should begin and end with Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. I am going to jam this game into the ears of people until 1) the ears of six billion people bleed, or 2) people admit they were fucking assholes for praising Super Meat Boy while complaining Henry Hatsworth was "too hard".

Just finished Okamiden, sequel to the original Okami for PS2/Wii.

It's Capcom's "Legend of Zelda"-ish adventure featuring the awesome and cute son of Amaterasu, Chibiterasu. Soundtrack and art style stand out notoriously there. Check it out for sure!
