Hope you try out Tetris DS, imo THE best version of the game by far ??
I love retro game challenge and appreciate any list that speaks fondly of it.

Dragon Ball Z Attack Of The Saiyans is awesome RPG on the Ds and I’d say a must have for DBZ fans

I really liked the video except for the part where they pretended to like IPA
Underwater attack. I had the wii version. If anyone knows where I can find the wii/ds version please tell me.
Ever since I found your channel two years ago, Iback in 2019 / 2020 I've loved it ever since because I grew up with the Nintendo DS Lite and wanted to get back into it. I got a game cartridge that has 1,900 games on it and I also collect games too that I want to physically keep. ??
5:17 Retro Game Challenge is based off of a Japanese TV show Game Center CX. The series is essentially like all those Kid's Play Retro Game videos where the main focus is the humour in watching someone struggle with how difficult these games really are. Although a few sequels were made only RGC was ever released in English.
The show itself has being going strong since 2003 and is available subtitled here on YouTube. Anyone interested in retro games should watch an episode or two just for the LOLs.
Literally none of those games are hidden. Many are entries of popular series.
Some of the DS I never knew look worth to play in today's era
You guys nailed it!
This list is a total gem
Thank youuu
And here we are im back again, after get bored with switch and 3ds
Very good.
My biggest issue with gimmicky console's, like the DS, Wii, Wii U, etc… Is how hard they'll be to bring forward to new consoles.
Emulation is the best example of that. Trying to emulate a DS is a fucking pain. Aside from your screen being half the size, since there's two screens to deal with, and it just looks weird on a TV. You also have to manage the right stick and a button as the stylus. Making some faster paced touch-based games nearly impossible to play with a controller.
Same would happen if they tried to bring a DS game forward to a possible future Nintendo Console that doesn't have a touch screen. Or hell, better example, the Wii. You don't have the nunchuck style mode with pointer cursor and shit on newer consoles. Porting a game like Mario Galaxy, or Animal Crossing City Folk that relies on having a pointer, to a newer Nintendo console would be obnoxious and probably not work amazingly well.
The gimmicks can be fun, and even super neat….when they're relevant. But once you move past that generation and onto a new gimmick with a new console, suddenly every previous game requires you to have an extra handheld or console on hand just to play them.
I'm not tryna be a fanboy, I love Nintendo and I was a huge PlayStation guy for years. But there's something nice about having my Xbox, and being able to play 4 generations worth of games on it with no problem.
(This whole thought came about because I'm currently emulating a bunch of DS and Wii games on my Xbox, and goddamn, using the right stick as a cursor is super annoying. Works ok on Wii, but DS cursor emulation is ass. As is having two tiny screens on your TV.)

While I'm at it. Another issue I had with DS games, is the forced use of the second screen. So many games, like Nanostray in this very video, had NO reason to use the second screen. It didn't need to be there. But, because it was there, devs had to use it for something. So a lot of games used it for dumb gimmicks to give it a reason to exist. "Touch this to break a rock" when "Press A to break a rock would have worked. Or "Swipe the stylus up to lift this" instead of "tap A a couple times".
Like, it just wasn't needed. Very few GOOD games actually used the second screen for much of anything other than a map or a quick inventory. It wasn't part of the game, it was just a faster way to access something that'd normally be on a button. It was mostly pointless and, honestly, ruined some games because of it. Like, how much better would Metroid have been if we didn't have to use the stylus to look around?
I got Nanostray for 2 bucks after all these years. Lol
Awesome list so far 🙂 Old video I know but just getting back into playing one of my favorite systems
I have HSM 3: Senior Year for the Nintendo DS
I miss Kinsey already. Good luck on your career in Japan!
I suck at keeping track of release dates but I hope she's found all of the wii, ds, 3ds, and now switch rune factory games since 🙂
I had and still have that red color of the ds lite
5 minutes in and I'm thinking "Jesus, what a bunch of nerds!"
2 of my fav ds games are custom robo arena & ultimate mortal kombat ds
I played Nanostray as a little kid , but never knew that game was a hidden gen. Now I am 13, I am dying to play this game again , but brings so much memories for me.
Rune Factory, Devil Survivor, Radiant Historia, Ragnarok DS, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and other games made my childhood!
Devil Survivor rules
how about a series of episodes themed "gaming under the influence"
Is it me. I see a majority of these hidden gems videos are mostly all rpg games
How the hell is OnTaMaRaMa not mentioned here?! It's a great game, and yet I seem to be the only person that ever mentions it online!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Nanostray is frickin hard to get through. It is a blast though, thanks for the recommendations.
