      It's a good Mario Kart, but realistically what reason would you have to play Mario Kart solo on a handheld where you wouldn't rather play it on your Switch?

        I played an absolute ton of MKDS, most of it vs the computer. Then again, I was autistic as frick and so much better than any of my friends that I'd play holding my DS upside down to give them a chance and still won 90% of races. My absolute favourite Mario Kart.

    The DS Pokemon games were the last great Pokemon games, in order from best to worst: HeartGold and SoulSilver>Platinum>Black 2 and White 2>Black and White, you can safely ignore Diamond and Pearl.
    Also Mario & Luigi, both are good but Bowser's Inside Story is generally regarded as being better than Partners in Time.

        It's true that the screen is vibrant but it's a lie that the screen is crisp. It fricking hurts my eyes reading on that screen. Playing games where not much reading is necessary is ok though. It's the kind of effect you get when you play inches in front of a CRT monitor where you can see each pixel diode.

          It was a decent enough game, but the series was perfect for the DS and the tactile feedback of working with a stylus. Wii controls never worked for me as well as the DS games did.
          Which is why I also feel that MP3 was worse than 1&2 despite liking the idea of working with/killing other bounty hunters.

            It's true that the DS games felt better and that the surgery part was the main game and the others felt a bit like tacked on minigames. However I wish there was something in the DS games that had broken up the surgery gameplay a little bit because these games completely killed your hands so you went "oh frick here we go again" directly after the last surgery fricked you up and left you exhausted.

              I feel you, but I don't know if I would have liked needing to be forced through an hour or two between surgeries. Every time I replayed it I dreaded the puzzle level. It wasn't difficult but it just was boring when I could be out lasering cancer spiders instead. Sometimes it's best to just have the video game be the video game.
              Either way, great series that I'm liable to play this weekend.
