Why didn't the DS have a lot of visual novels? Seems like the perfect platform for it.

      Not with that dim ass screen it isn't.
      The Lite improved on it in every way except that the GBA cartridges stick out.

              Go make a mod then homosexual it's not too hard. (You) just need to make adapter flex cables that work with modern screens. I'd do it I just don't give a frick about the DS fat cause I already own a DSi XL.

    The PSP had a much better screen for it, and hilariously also had a lot of visual novels too.

      Yeah, I doubt that many children/teenagers would have cared about playing a visual novel. It’s not my cup of tea either, as most of the DS games I own are more action based.

    It didn't have visual novels as we know it (even though VNDS interpreter existed, you could read Higurashi, Ever17 etc on your DS) but it still had a lot of games who were very close:

    >6 Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney*) games
    >999
    >Time Hollow
    >Lux Pain
    >Detective Jake Hunter games
    >Layton games
    >Hotel Dusk & The Last Window

    And if you want to extrapolate:
    >Theresia
    >Trauma Center Under The Knife 1&2

    And a lot of others I forgot about

          Tim Hollow was the shittiest one. It's so fricking short and they hold your hand the entire fricking time, and the new game plus is just an extra six minute cutscene that happens right at the start. I was so mad I paid money for that shit.

              I remember finding it funny how the mc was responsible for his mom not putting enough spice to her meals in their daily lives. The reason was: when he traveled back in time, he found the meals to be too spicy and complained. And she took it to heart

    Is this a real question? Every moron should know that the PSP was the designated VN machine in japan, the Vita being successful is also living prove of that fact. The second screen on the DS is great for adventure games but adds nothing for regular VNs. Low res screen makes reading also more uncomfortable than it should be.

                Maybe if you were a reddit user or in your dad's ballsack back then. At least on Ganker Danganronpa got first popular with the translation of the original PSP game.
