This month we’re looking for the top 10 games for Nintendo’s secret best platform, the Nintendo DS.

If you need a reminder, here’s a list of Nintendo DS games

Just list your top 10 below (each counts for one vote, so ranking them isn't important).

Voting is open for a month, and will close on 27 January.

As always, I look forward to seeing your nominations.

There is also still time to vote for your top 10 RPGs.

Man, Celer, you're really rockin' it with the GRecommends series! I think this could be a wonderfully interesting category as the DS had such a huge variety of excellent titles. I will do a spot of research and then return to share my ten favourites :-).

Definitely, I think the DS has the strongest line-up of all Nintendo platforms in terms of depth and variety.

Man, this is gonna be tough.

The World Ends With You
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania Potrait of Ruin
Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
Ghost Trick
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations
Radiant Historia
Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story
Dragon Quest IX
Advance Wars Dual Strike

I didn't include the SNES remakes of Dragon Quest V, Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy IV

Honourable mention must go to Scurge Hive (basically isometric Metroid), Geometry Wars Galaxies, Ouendan, Tetris DS, Kirby Canvas Curse, Pac Pix, Kirby Mass Attack and Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon.

Definites would have to be

The World Ends With You
Hotel Dusk
Puzzle Series Vol. 5: Slitherlink
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Dragon Quest IX
Advance Wars Dual Strike

Need to filter down the rest to get another 4.

Edit:
Picross DS
Puzzle Quest: whatever its called

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Elite Beat Agents
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Mario Kart DS
Legend Of Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Super Mario 64 DS
Meteos

List may change

Advance Wars Dual Strike
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Ghost Trick
Animal Crossing Wild World
Mario Kart DS
999: Nine Persons Nine Hours Nine Doors
Picross DS
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Meteos
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations

The DS had such a great library of games, probably my favourite handheld (very closely followed by the PSP).

#01 Animal Crossing: Wild World
#02 Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
#03 Anno: 1701
#04 Professor Layton and the Lost Future
#05 Professor Layton and the Curious Village
#06 Super Scribblenauts
#07 Geometry Wars: Galaxies
#08 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
#09 Soul Bubbles
#10 Chrono Trigger

Puzzle Quest was so good; a big challenger for the top spot but AC just held out.

1. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan
2. Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
3. Advance Wars Dual Strike
4. Elite Beat Agents
5. Kirby Canvas Curse/Power Paintbrush
6. Space Invaders Extreme
7. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2
8. Meteos
9. Electroplankton
10. Tony Hawk's American Sk8land

Can't believe I forgot about Space Invaders Extreme.

The poor man's PSP

1. The World Ends With You
2. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
3. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
4. Tingle's Freshly Picked Rosy Rupeeland
5. Flower, Sun, and Rain
6. Okamiden

That's about it. The above are amazing games though!

Ace Attorney Investigations 2
Anyone who enjoys Ace Attorney games should definitely play this. It's like the whole first trilogy, with a better pay off than Trials and Tribulations, wrapped into one game.

I've only picked one game from each series to keep my list varied.
Pokémon Heart Gold
New Super Mario Bros
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
Picross 3D
Mario Kart DS
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Profesor Layton and the Curious Village
Tetris DS

I do own more than 6 DS games, but I'd not rate the others as particularly worthy of note. Still, my PSP collection is about 4-5 times as large as my DS'!

(Same goes for Vita and 3DS too... sorry jawa

)

I find the lack of Chinatown Wars disturbing
