Not mentioning any of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon titles, especially Explorers of Sky, has me absolutely bewildered. To anyone who hasn't checked out Explorers of Sky, please do! It has hands down one of the best, if not the best, Pokemon themed story out there! 100% guaranteed :D

@Rad3k99 8 ай бұрын

Maaaaan, i hardly suggest to change the title of this video to "My personal 100 Best Nintendo DS games of all time". Because: - Ace Attorney Series top 40, when many game portals easily rate it top 20 (plus not even mentioning Apollo Justice :( ). - It hurts seeing FFTA2 that place when it brings big gameplay and story, very nice mechanics, variety of jobs and combinations like his predecessor. Easily 70-80+ hours of joyful gameplay. - Ghost Trick, 999 and Solatorobo at least top 20-25. - I think you are a hard fan of Sonic Series. I don't think it's a bad game series, indeed it has pretty cool games, but it's best games are on other generational consoles. - And finally ... Nintendogs over FFTA2, GS DD, FF3 port, Ni no Kuni, Kirby or Yoshi Island ... my eyeeees xD Btw, cool stuff including Hotel Dusk Room 215, it's a great game with an intriguing story. I think it's missing Last Window, The Secret of Cape West (direct sequel). That's it. Keep going making videos! Peace!

Not many touchscreen games on this list; some unique and others that are definitive versions on this platform. 101-in-1, all 4 Touchmaster games, Mah-Jong, Suduko, and all the Word (Scrabble, Crossword, Word Master, etc) and Brain games (Boost, Puzzle, Voyage, Assist, etc).
