Its been over five years, give me your top ten DS games.

[Magician]

Don't give me a list of the highest rated games. You own the system, you've played your share of good and bad DS games. Give me a list of the ones you've enjoyed the most. Ok, here we go.

Animal Crossing: Wild World
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Retro Game Challenge
Space Invaders Extreme
Contra 4
Metroid Pinball
Tetris DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

 

[LoneSage]

Trauma Center
Kirby Canvas Curse
Contra 4
Contact
Konami Classic Series Arcade Hits
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Nanostray 2

and number 1 is
BANGAI-O SPIRITS

I've got 27 DS games but those are the only ones I really like. Didn't dig Ninja Gaiden DS, Meteos, New Super Mario Bros, etc. I can't list 10 games even. Elite Beat Agents, I'll give that one an honorable mention for the Christmas level alone.

 

[alphagamer]

Mario Kart DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Elite Beat Agents (and similar, Ouendan etc.)
Professor Layton series
Phoenix Wright series
Tetris DS
Picross DS

and

In no particular order.

 

[HeartlessNinny]

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Retro Game Challenge
Dragon Quest IV
Planet Puzzle League
Meteos
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer

The World Ends With You

Contra 4 - unbelievably difficult and challenging, great replay value and it includes the NES versions of Contra and Super C.. can't go wrong.
Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars - surprisingly excellent. i can't believe how rockstar was able to cram all of liberty city into this game.
New Super Mario Bros
Hotel Dusk
Space Invaders Extreme
Tetris DS
Theresia - awesome mature point and click adventure. pretty archaic gameplay mechanics, but the game is story creepy/disturbing.

...Man I can't think of anything...I mostly use my DS to play GBA games... Now THAT was a good system!!! I don't think the new DS's have a GBA port... I feel bad for their owners...

 

[Narkoleptx]

Oh yeah, call me old fashioned, but I really hate using the stylus...everything from the special moves in Castlevania to the completely unplayable Ninja Gaiden... Ugh... worst peripheral EVER!!

Nice to see Retro Game Challenge on so many people's lists.

And it sounds like I should grab Contra 4...

 

[GregN]

SNK vs Capcom Cardfighters DS
Super Dodgeball Brawlers

Cardfighters? Really? You can own the game with low-level cards; it had a glitch, etc.
Dodgeball I didn't touch after I beat it.

 

[HeartlessNinny]

Hey, how come Flower Sun and Rain isn't on anyone's list? I own it, but haven't gotten to it yet. I heard it was pretty rad though (which is why I tracked it down).

Well to be honest, you have to really love the game to get through it. I mean I enjoyed it personally but there are quite a few flaws that would turn off most players. Definitely does not belong in the top 10 overall. If you rank it on uniqueness alone then I would rank it in the top 10.

Oh yeah, and Contra 4 is a must have... you can even unlock the NES versions of Contra & Super C.
