      I don't think I've ever played a console for this long and never gone back to it. Literally the only games I've replayed since were Pokémon games and Kirby SuperStar Ultra.

    Pokemon peaked on the DS for one thing

      Same with YuGiOh tbh. I still play Nightmare and Spirit occasionally when the yugioh itch hits.

      If you want to become a drawgay, Art Academy is pretty good.

      My mother became insane by just constantly playing that animal crossing. I wish I had her patience with it. The shit she drew in flipnote afterwards was crazy, made me mad when her library/craft friends turned their nose up because it was on the DS.

      even "peak" pokemon is mediocre garbage. Gamefreak is incompetent, all they can do well is pace the exp flow, evolutions and new moves in such a way that small children brains feel like they're progressing. But that's literally a one and done thing. Once you get those numbers right, you can just reuse them for all the games that follow.

    Mario Kart DS has something. MK7 is boring trash compared to it and MK8D just has a different feel. MKDS has something neither of those games have. MK8D is objectively better, and I probably played more of it than DS, but DS has that nostalgia feel and really cool graphics. Low res and blocky models, but very competent low res and blocky models. I also really like its physics.

    The DS was the peak of videogames because it was at a point where portables were powerful enough for you to have basically any experience you wanted on the system but still affordable enough to develop for that studios were okay with trying to make games that weren't market-tested focus group approved shlock.

    That's why purely portable systems were always the most kino, sad to see that die out now. Now all those creative smaller teams are either going bankrupt or switching to mobile.

    I liked pic related and never really see anyone mention it or even come up when googling "ds rhythm games". It's basically rhythm heaven in that you play rhythm based minigames to unlock more rhythm based minigames. Only downside is that several tracks are repeated throughout the game instead of every single minigame having its own unique music

    both are good. blue has "endgame" on the form of recruiting more mons to fill up your friend areas. sky doesnt have that but instead, has more story. dungeon crawler with rpg elements, much better than the mainline games in some cases
    >rune factoy
    ive played the first one but i keep hearing 3 is the best as it fixes issues that 1 had and has more stuff. basically, you advance by clearing dungeons, in order to do so, you farm inside dungeons so your crops give you stamina to advance. its hm with rpg elements basically, good game
    >yugioh world championship
    i play 2008. tons of cards and a shitload of duelists. i like how when u summon a monster, the monster itself has a model that appears on the field. banlists suck but you can hack a banlist that allows you to use any card you want
    >4 heroes of light
    a good chunk of jobs and the battle system is very similar to default. dificulty is good as i was getting my ass kicked by a lot of bosses. last boss is chessy, did not like but whatever, still a decent game.

    It's been 17 years anon, anyone who is or was even remotely intrested in playing or talking about DS games have already done so.
    Not to mention, the PC emulators are kind of shitty for DS at the moment, but if you own any android device that came out in the last 5ish years you should be able to play every single DS game that has ever existed at 720p+, with enhanced textures/3D models and with whatever controller you want using DraStic.

    I'd actually recommend playing like this instead of buying original hardware and I actually completed the (excellent) Chrono Trigger DS remake using my phone, an 8bitdo controller and a chromecast that I screenshared/streamed my phone to my tv at 1080p. Probably the best way to experience Chrono trigger right now imo

        It's more that DraStic is so far beyond any other DS emulator that by comparison they all sort of look like shit.

        Not to mention that most of the PC emulators have inflated sys req and have some huge problems with upscaling/enhancing textures and 3D models. I could play any DS game I wanted at 720p+better 3D models on my shitty old ZTE phone from 2012, but my laptop would struggle with even the most basic upscaling while being able to emulate Gamecube and PS2 at 720p just fine at the time, it made no sense and the performance difference is still there last I checked
