And the great thing about the DS version is that once you see an ending you can go back and watch it again anytime. It's definitely the best version of Chrono Trigger.
True quality is timeless. Just tried Super Mario Bros 3 on GBA again. It's as amazing now as it was when I first played it 2 decades ago and as when it was first released another decade and a half before that. None of it says 'old' or 'dated'.
Right?! I think one of the biggest things that helps DS games hold up today is how they didn't try to be graphically advanced but fun. So you can pick up just about any DS game and still have it hold up because they are just fun and you are playing for that and not for the graphics. When games try too hard to be "realistic" in terms of graphics, they can only go as far as the current tech. So once the current tech becomes obsolete and new tech comes out with better fidelity, those games feel "old" and not viable anymore for that modern time.
Man, I was on my way to the register with the demo version of Metroid Prime Hunters in my hands before I realized it was the demo. Gotta be careful, it's tricky.
Two of my favorites not mentioned: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - it’s a brilliant strategy puzzle spinoff of the RPG series. I could play vs mode against the AI for hours at a time. Final Fantasy IV (DS) - a solid remake that gives the game the 3D graphics treatment (making it look like the PS1 FF games) as well as pretty significant changes and updates to the character systems, which makes how you customize characters who won’t be in your final party important. Also, while Aria of Sorrow is typically seen as the best DS Castlevania game, I’ve always preferred Portrait of Ruin.
Played Might and magic clash of heroes on the Ps3, but more importantly did you know there's a remake titled the same but definitive edition that came out for the switch, ps4 and PC in July of this year, 2023 ?
@@u960 never played it. Between FFV and Bravely Default, I realized I don’t enjoy the job change system for some reason, so I never backtracked to III.
@@omegaweapon116 I would say so. And I also like it’s gameplay. Seems faster since you can hack and slash with both hands. Not to mention probably the prettiest 2D title in the series after SotN.
@@SNKBossSyndrom Yea, I just beat it a few month ago. It's now my favorite Castlevania behind SotN. The music, the gameplay, the art style...everything was great.
@@omegaweapon116 And it has plenty of fighting game references. The wind glyph (forget the name) is Geese’s Reppuken/Double Reppuken. The glyph union is Raging Storm. Albus‘s fire kick is like the one from Fei Long. The giant‘s death pose is like Raoh‘s.

With so many great games for the DS, its always hard to come up with a definitive list... few of my personal favs not mentioned: - Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime - Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift - Pokémon Conquest - Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes - The Legendary Starfy - Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride - Front Mission - Fossil Fighters: Champions - Radiant Historia
I love this!!!! I just modded my dsi xl and it makes me so happy! It is my first console that I ever got and I am so excited that I can play lots of games on it now when I want to play something else besides my switch v2!
It's not subjective.... The name of the video is 20 best DS games. If it was subjective then he would have titled it "My personal top 20 DS games". But at no point does he say that. This is an amateur list that disregards some of the absolute best the DS has to offer.
Having recently got a 208 games in 1 cart, all these games are on it and working perfectly for £10. Now if I was a kid with my SNES and we didn't have a lot of money and someone said that I can get you a cart with 208 SNES games on it and a lot of them are great games I'd have to be on the spectrum to not want that. I'm glad these multicarts exist and when the Switch dies it will all happen again.
My number 1 best DS game is: Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! - Happy Rich Oosouji! This game is the TRUE, sequel to Chibi Robo for the Game Cube. ♥ Someone made a fan translation. I tip my hat in respect to that person ✌🏻
The world ends with tou sequel is amazing and live up to the work that was the ds one. Square barely promoted or even mentioned the game which is a shame cause it was such a blast
@@u960 ive watched playthroughs Hunters is a side story And its the top title for DS for me with all that it offers I feel the devs went above and beyond with this DS title
If you are willing to spend a few dollars to get Drastic, you can play ds games on your phone or tablet with flawless performance, even if you dont have a super high end device, other emulators have some slowdown and sound glitches
Lástima que no esté mi juego favorito de la DS en ningún top en youtube , hablo de Age of Empires Age of Kings desarrollado por Backbone entertainment Digital Eclipse de Microsoft ese AOE AOK es fantastico!
The list can’t be taken seriously without Elite Beat Agents. I’d also include one of the Sonic Rush games. 16:12 No arguing the difficulty of the three… Order of Ecclesia is the most difficult 😂

You mean you bought the full game, not the demo version. Because demos are almost never sold. They are for people to try for free to help boost interest and sales.
Bah. Custom Robo Arena not being on this list is a crime. In fact, for me personally, it ought to be #1. Also, all of the following should be in top 20 (and some, top 10): - Bomberman 2 (ie Custom Bomberman). - Spiderman Web of Shadows/Shatter Dimension. - Dragon Quest Rocket Slime. Also, I think Zelda Spirit Track is better than Phantom Hourglass (ST has better story, better control, and a lot more cool mechanics). In addition, I think Dawn of Sorrow was the weakest of the 3 Castlevania DS. I think the strongest is Portrait of Ruin, but most people think Order of Ecclesia is the best among the 3.
Please do a list of the 20 best Xbox One games. And please don’t fill the Xbox One list with tons of multiplats. The Xbox One had tons of great exclusives like: Dead Rising 3, Quantum Break, Halo MCC, Ori and the Blind Forest, Forza Horizon 4, Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, and Gears 5.
im fed up with people ranking mario kart so high everywhere dude its a racing game, certainly its not better than chrono trigger, which should be first

You could make a case for most of these games being the best on the system. The DS was really something else.
The fact that you didn't include Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan nor Elite Beat Agents on this list is criminal and completely undermines the entire video.

Order of Ecclesia is more refined and has a lot more going than Dawn of Sorrow

Dude how is Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow harder than Order of Ecclessia???
0:34 0:44 what are these games
Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume should have been on this list.
Not having etrian odyssey 3 on this list should be considered a war crime
Adventure Bowser #1: BASED
No Radiant Historia grinds my gears.
Also Platinum got snubbed.
Bah. Custom Robo Arena not being on this list is a crime. In fact, for me personally, it ought to be #1.
Also, all of the following should be in top 20 (and some, top 10):
- Bomberman 2 (ie Custom Bomberman).
- Spiderman Web of Shadows/Shatter Dimension.
- Dragon Quest Rocket Slime.
Also, I think Zelda Spirit Track is better than Phantom Hourglass (ST has better story, better control, and a lot more cool mechanics). In addition, I think Dawn of Sorrow was the weakest of the 3 Castlevania DS. I think the strongest is Portrait of Ruin, but most people think Order of Ecclesia is the best among the 3.
Amazing list!
what game is that in the 0:37 mark ive played almost all ds game but never seen that game
Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals
I don’t see Henry Hatsworth! Fake list 😤. Nah jks, I do love that games but at least zelda and Kirby made it.

Also both Mario games on this tier list are great. Would swap out the pokèmon game for a few others though
Where is Kirby superstar ultra

Chrono Trigger : Best SNES game, best Nintendo DS game, best PC game...

Killing the 3ds was beyond comprehension- it had no comparison
The ds did not release alongside gba
Phoenix Wright :(
Yeah these are great and all but where's Diddy Kong racing?
Chinatown Wars is the best DS game by far. Open world games for the win.
this list is weird... I agree with pokemon HGSS and animal crossing and mario kart tho
David Attenborough of gaming
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin and Castlevania Order of Ecclessia are way better than Dawn of Sorrow
CT translation might look nice to newcomers but ti doesn't deserve this place. Where are contra 4 and Trauma center ?😢
hey does anyone know what game is at 0:36 seconds?
I believe it is Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals (may have mispelled the name)
