Interesting that they ranked Phantom Hourglass as number 1, nowadays it is considered one of the worst Zelda games… And I don’t agree at all.
Here are the two pages:
Wow these games are a choice with the only Pokemon game being Black and white.
I remember this era and more importantly, game journalism from this era. This is what people thought others bought the DS for. Zelda the newest pokemon, and some license rubbish (why is Lego rockband here).
That said there are some real bangers here from Chrono trigger and the world ends with you. Plus some games that would eventually turn into cult classic. Still needs more starfy
3d picross and mario kart ds are bangers
Not really my list of choice but I am glad my favorite Advance Wars installment got some love. When it was released I don’t think it was well received
People were expecting cartoony Orange Star vs Black Hole with all their favorite COs pal’n around. Instead they were hit with post-apocalyptic, war-torn hellscape that right out of the gate focuses on the brutal realities of war.
It’s a great game, but I can see why it wasn’t well received.
Oh that’s for sure. It had very little in common with the previous installments
The good old days when Nintendo was still good… Have nothing but good memories of my DS. I still have it, it’s just that right shoulder doesn’t work anymore and the battery barely hold half an hour. Possibly easily fixable but meh, I already played the crap out of it. 3DS was such a disappointment. Not that it’s a bad console (although the 3D gimmick is ridiculously terrible) or the library is bad, no, plenty of good stuff in there, but it really pales in comparison.
Well, definitely you throw out some unpopular opinions mate 😅
I don’t think Nintendo is not good anymore, so many of us think that, and I agree the DS being superior, but the 3DS wasn’t a disappointment, indeed without it maybe Nintendo would have been the new SEGA lol.
The 3D gimmick was just that, a gimmick, nothing revolutionary but at least you could turn it off, and when you were bored turning it on was an option as well, without considering the actual titles that use it very well and you feel comfortable having it always ON with those.
