20 Must-Play Nintendo DS Games - Part I
By: Gagan Gupta   |   Apr 03, 2008

It's been a little over three years since the launch of the Nintendo DS. In the meantime we've seen a whole bunch of games released for it – some brilliant, others that rehashed old Gameboy ideas, and some that were downright abysmal. Allow us to sort out the good ones for you and recommend some games without which your Nintendo DS library will be incomplete. We have avoided multi-platform titles and old rehashes while making our selection as fresh as possible. So here are the bottom 10 out of our top 20 games.

# 20
Elite Beat Agents

One of the first, yet the coolest, rhythm games on the DS is still going strong today. Adding a mission-based storyline to the touch-on-cue gameplay was an awesome idea, and that's what adds to the replay value of the title.

The song selection may be a bit too spunky for our liking, but it perfectly suits the theme of the game, so we're not complaining. If there's a rhythm game you must own on the DS (we'll wait and watch how Guitar Hero turns out), then this is it. Agents Are GO!

Wario Ware Touched

Lately the Wario series of fast-paced minigames have been the best thing that's happened to Nintendo consoles, and things aren't too different here. While the touchscreen feature didn't match up to the high standard set by GBA's Wario Ware Twisted, it's still a very exciting and engaging game to play on a DS. The sheer number of minigames, each with multiple layers of difficulty levels, practically guarantees that the game won't grow stale for quite a while.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215

PC adventure games have been pretty much dead on their native platform, but thanks to the touchscreen interface of the DS, developers have once again started exploring that genre in new and innovative ways. Hotel Dusk is one of the better examples and does the genre complete justice.

With a unique art style and gameplay that will bring back some great classic gaming memories, Hotel Dusk qualifies as a must-have for anyone longing for an all-out adventure game.

hes lucky to have a ds in mumbai, i could imagine if i lived there id find r4 cartridges a great alternative to never getting localized releases.

First and foremost the its not rs4 its r4 secondly its not gamecube its ds and third buy original games if you cant afford dont play @ at mr lol u go and kill yourselves if u cant afford a mobile you wont steal it .So if you cannt afford a game u should not play pirated.If people play pirated people like me who buy original have to pay more you right bastard.The only time i support piracy is if the games arent available here officialy cos then its out of our hands

@Gilbert -- Buy the original games! If you can't afford them, don't play them
Ahmed @ Apr 04, 2008
Good list (Part I)
Ahmed @ Apr 04, 2008
Please can you tell me where in Mumbai can I get the RS4 Memory cartridge for the DS. So that the games can be dowloaded and used. I heard it costs about Rs. 2500/- with 1GB ram, which is too much compared to the Rs. 6500/- price of the Gameboy itself.
