(Part 2) Best nintendo ds games according to redditors

Just went on Amazon to see how much other people were selling this for new and expected to come back and laugh at this guys audacity but Ho-ly fuck.

Have you got a Gameboy (or DS!)? Any Gameboy will do! You got it?? Good!! Now, depending on the generation of Gameboy in your hand, follow one of these links:

Original -> Pokemon Red / Pokemon Blue / Pokemon Yellow - Pikachu Edition

Gameboy Color -> Pokemon Silver / Pokemon Gold / Pokemon Crystal

Gameboy Advance -> Pokemon Ruby / Pokemon Sapphire / Pokemon Emerald

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Diamond / Pokemon Pearl / Pokemon Platinum

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Black / Pokemon White

... and sort your life out!

EDIT: As people rightly pointed out, no 3DS Pokemon yet, fixed it!

I'm still mad that a lot of Pokemon games are still being sold at $40 plus.

Example

...It's only 45 bucks for the collection.

https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-Zero-Collection-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003FBL86Q

Obenkyo does this.

It is however somewhat difficult to get it to recognize your characters sometimes. I've let a Japanese person use it before and it's failed them on some characters.

I believe the latter levels of My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS also has that kind of functionality, but I hear that some of the stroke orders are wrong.

Got a Nintendo DS? Then I recommend the Korg DS-10 cart.

<$15 gets you a lot of toys, including dual ghetto Kaossilators, controlled by the stylus.

doesn't that game go for 12$ on amazon?

1. I would absolutely love this because my daughter and I love to play video games together and my husband loves to play video games too. It would be like an awesome gift for the whole family.
   
   2)My daughter and I would love to get really great at this game so we can kick Mr. Chowderkirk's ass at it. It's available for less than $25 as a used game, which I would be perfectly fine with.
   
   3)The fact that you are trying to spread the cheer by giving away your DS is proof that Radler is rad.

There is a Hotel Dusk Sequel that went unreleased in the US. I bought and played an imported copy (amazon) just fine--no region locking. I actually liked it better than the original.

Scribblenauts

Assassin's Creed is a great game series, but it's pretty violent - you play an assassin, after all. If you want to give it a shot, start with AC2 - it's a much better game than AC1.

Given that you liked Phoenix Wright (oh I do love Feenie.. there need to be more games in that series like yesterday), you could give Ghost Trick a shot. It's got a very similar sort of "feel" to it, though it's a bit more puzzle-y and less investigate-y, if that makes sense. It's by the same folks who did PW, for what that's worth, and I highly enjoyed it. I found the puzzle concepts really neat, too.

And given that you like mystery novels, I recommend 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. Lots of drama, puzzles, decisions, and many different endings. Also lots of reading - it feels more like a book than PW did, to me. I haven't finished this one myself, but it sounds like it might be something you would enjoy. I liked it well enough, it was just more serious that what I was looking for at the time, and I haven't gone back to it yet.

Note, I'm assuming you have a DS of some fashion, since you said you'd played PW; both Ghost Trick and 999 are DS games.

Hope you find something that you enjoy, and happy gaming!

I started out not knowing how to read japanese.

I could understand speaking a bit better, but not reading. I eventually started to read Katakana and now in my off time, I use a dictionary and some apps for the kanji bits and some for the hiragana. (it's also why PSO2es's story bits will take a while).

Since joining Arks-Layer for translations, I have learned many things, but still room for growth.

I would recommend /r/LearnJapanese for tips and other learning resources and also this NDS game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BZ8EX8

I'm pretty sure it's both. According to Wikipedia, the Nintendo version even came first. Amazon link

DS-10 http://www.amazon.com/KORG-DS-10-Synthesizer-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001EB8CD6



DS-10+http://www.amazon.com/KORG-DS-10-Plus-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002SW7WAY/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1382192548&sr=1-1&keywords=korg+ds-10+plus

My favorite game is... probably Dragon Age. I happily sunk 100 hours into the first. It also broke my heart just a little, but I'm super excited for the third!

For PS3, I've been told by /u/Yokuo that I need to play Tales of Symphonia. I've only recently got into the series, but it's a lot of fun and I'm a huge JRPG fan and this one is apparently a must!

Or Etrian Odyssy on the DS? I've played the demo for the fourth one and it's really fun, but quite tricky and just a bit different from a lot of the other games on the market.

There is one game designed for learners called My Japanese Coach by Ubisoft. However, it seems to have issues with the stroke order of some characters. Moreover, the emergence of mobile apps has made the game not as useful as it was back in the day (I never tried it so cannot judge). Japanese software is usually designed for Japanese audience so prior knowledge of words, grammar points and even kanji is presumed.

If you can find it, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for DS is also very good, and pretty accessible. Unfortunately, it's really gone up in price over the years.

It's Korg DS-10

Pick it up if you can!

It's still in stock on Amazon.com, if you're willing to wait a couple of days. http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-White-Version-Nintendo-DS/dp/B004EVWYYG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1299507811&sr=1-1

There's an official keyboard for the DS
https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Pokémon-Typing-Adventure-DS-Nintendo/dp/B0096763KY

Wow, checking it now and it's gone up by $29. Looks like there's one left which may be why. This is the link I used.

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City - Nintendo DS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003S55EX2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZCjCCb8SXNCWC

Dragon Quest VI on Amazon - $39 USD

Good find. Wish Argos would ship to the U.S.

You all realize that the OG ni no Kuni was a Japanese ds game before it was remade for ps3, right? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GNBW8E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HcOUAbRZQJ1T3

Maeby Funke, Arrested Development.

She's hilarious, sassy, kind of bitchy, smart, and cunning. She's all the things I wanted to be as a teenager, but I never was.

I got into the show because I needed a new series to watch, and it was available - I am SO glad I did.

Favorite quote:


>Do you guys know where I can get one of those gold necklaces with a “T” on it?

Boom! Roasted! Yay for Michael! <3

This game used, please!

But I really love Low-poly 3d...

There's something about it that just hits all the right points for me.

Maybe it's seeing something new while still having the nostalgic aesthetic of the past?

I'd like to blame the PS1, tbh

Yeah, I brought mine for $25 a few years ago too lol

Amazon

Ebay

Uh...what? These were almost all DS exclusives.

The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, 999, Chinatown Wars, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania, Contra, Elite Beat Agents, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Scribblenauts and N+

really? :o Amazon links! But seriously, you can find pretty much fucking anything on Amazon.

TWEWY

Ghost Trick

oh my god i just found out about the zero collection. 1-4 on one DS game. gonna have to get an amazon card and pick that up!
http://www.amazon.ca/Capcom-32020-Mega-Zero-collection/dp/B003FBL86Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371944202&sr=8-1&keywords=zero+collection

Awesome contest! My last hand-held gaming system was the Gameboy Color. Mine hasn't worked in a long time, and I am dying to play some Pokemon!

Picross - puzzle game based on a pen and paper variation. Fill in the boxes of the grid according to the numbers on the side to make a picture.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong steals Mario's new line of toys and its up to the plumber to get them back. Lemmings style puzzles.

Scribblenauts - conjure anything and everything anytime to solve these devious puzzles. Fun for ppl with large vocabularies.

Brain Age - use mini-games to train your brain to stay in peak mental condition. Plus, your grandmother plays this, too.

Puzzle Quest - match like-colored tiles to gain mana and defeat evil creature. This is what Harry Potter would play instead of Bejeweled. Highly underrated game IMO.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hah, I just made a post that was vaguely similar... I'd actually say check it out and see if there are any you haven't played but that sound interesting to you. I'd be really happy to elaborate on the appeal of any of the games on that list that I enjoyed.

The first one I'd say you should give a try is Bow Street Runner, though, which is a surprisingly good flash detective game with a nice historical element to it. The puzzles aren't that difficult but are enjoyable enough, the acting is actually reasonably good, you get to be a detective in Georgian England, and it's just fun.

I'd also say Ghost Trick should be something that you would definitely enjoy. It's basically your brief - a high focus on story and character development, solving puzzles & intrigue, and a bit of a pressure element (difficulty). You can't go wrong here. I loved the shit out of it, and I think you will too. Since you mentioned having a DS, try this!

Also, if you have an Android phone, Layton Brothers: Mystery Room is definitely a must try. It's a series of Locked Room Murders that you have to solve, and it resembles the AA games much more than it does the Layton games in terms of how it goes. The characters are all pretty fun as well, and I really enjoyed this and would strongly recommend it as well.

Edit: I also totally forgot to mention - 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. It's a puzzle/visual novel kind of thing, and I found it very engaging. The plot is definitely sort of a brain twister kind of thing in the 'what even is going on' sense, but everything is explained in a pretty satisfactory way at the end. Definitely consider this one. It's basically Room Escape: The Game, but it does that very well.

On a side note, considering your suspicion (regardless of validity), you could always return it and buy a brand new copy on Amazon for around $24, which is a better value IMHO. :)

If you're limiting this to cartridge titles you're gonna' get fewer results, but I can recommend some:

Steel Diver, a decent submarine combat game from Nintendo.

Scribblenauts Unlimited - A good entry in a solid game series.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, a good strategy-RPG.

Also, regular DS games (which play on the 3DS). Unlike 3DS games, DS games are not region-sensitive, so you can play imports just fine on your US system, too:

Elite Beat Agents - Probably the best music-rhythm game on the DS.

Rhythm Heaven - Another very good music-rhythm game, albeit more in the abstract.

Sonic Colors and Sonic Rush - Surprisingly good Sonic games.

Mama's Combo Pack - I've never played Camping Mama, but Cooking Mama is a great series of food-themed touchscreen minigames.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies - A great space shooter

WarioWare DIY - A fun entry in Nintendo's "microgame" series, with a "custom build it yourself" twist.

N+ - A simple, but extremely fun and challenging, ninja platformer game.

Pac Pix - A fun arcadey game where you draw Pac-Man to eat ghosts.

Jam Sessions and its sequel - Not a game as much as a tool to create music. Still, very good.

Bust-A-Move DS - A surprisingly good version of this classic puzzle game series with touchscreen support.

Polarium DS - A good, if simple, puzzle game.

Touchmaster, More Touchmaster, Touchmaster Connect and Touchmaster 3 - Good minigame collections.

Pipe Mania - A decent take on the old "Pipe Dream" puzzle game.

There's a Japan-only DS game.

The game you are looking for is Nostalgia for DS

http://www.amazon.com/Nostalgia-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002DC8GWW

I thought I'd check out Tetris DS on Amazon and was a bit surprised to see that version going for nearly $60.

Tetris DS by Nintendo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E9TBRK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_w7hKub118TJXZ

it is right here sold on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/KORG-DS-10-Plus-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002SW7WAY

I have work to do now.

Ni No Kuni was released for the DS in Japan.

I think that you meant for the DS game to come out in North America and Europe.

>I spent too much money on the second game.

Oh shit, I just looked it up, it's going for nearly $150 on Amazon.ca. I remember when I got a 3DS a few years ago and checked out The Last Window, it was only around $20 or $30. Should've bought it then ... Damn.

Tyara, I'm not used to the username yet

/u/PotatoAssassin is such a fantastic, lovely, wonderful, beautiful person. She always makes me smile and is truly the embodiment of Pinkie Pie, and also she put me in her user flair which is great because now it's like I am famous. ;)

She deserves this DS game, because she's awesome and should have something labeled "highest" on her wish list.

This is a timely thread. I've been thinking about taking my DSL out of its little corner and playing with it again.

I have some recommendations for you, OP. I will second the suggestions of Animal Crossing: Wild World, Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, and Ghost Trick, but wanted to give special mention to the following:

• Elite Beat Agents - This is a rhythm game where you tap circles and draw lines while following the beat of a song, as secret agents dance in the background and try to save the world. I know it sounds kooky, and it is, but that's half the fun. The Japanese original, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, was such a huge cult hit that they came out with the English version in Elite Beat Agents. There are a bunch of great songs on it, and the covers are actually decent (a couple are better than the original). Each song opens with a story that introduces someone in need of your help -- and somehow it's your dancing/cheering which pushes him/her to succeed. The stories are often hilarious, but there is one that will rip your heart out and make you teary. Absolutely love this game. (Screen protector strongly recommended!)
  
  
• Rhythm Heaven - Another rhythm-based game, but these two are just really fun and I decided to recommend both. Rhythm Heaven is different from Elite Beat Agents in that it's more a collection of mini games you need to beat in order to advance. There are about 5 mini games (I think) in a collection, and once you beat each one individually, you are given a 'recap' round that basically mashes them all together. This game looks deceptively simple but can be so damn difficult at times that achieving success is so satisfying! The beats in this game are very catchy.
  
  
• The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Lovely RPG. I thought the visuals were beautiful, and it was fun to play. Not much to say except it's a Zelda game, an awesome and fun one at that. The game makes use of the DSL's touchscreen. Controls may be kind of a bit hard to familiarize yourself with if you're used to normal console controls for Zelda, but after a while you get the hang of it and it's really fun to slash your sword around.
  
  
• Advance Wars: Dual Strike - Tactical turn-based strategy game where you try to battle it out with enemies and crush them all. I didn't think I'd like it, but I'm SO glad I gave it a try. I remember staying up late into the night playing this. It's really addicting. There's a sequel, Days of Ruin, but I've never played that so can't give a personal opinion on it. It comes highly recommended, though.
  
  
• Rune Factory 3: A Fantasy Harvest Moon - Take the original Harvest Moon games that were about farming and raising animals and getting to know people in your town, and add in some RPG-ish dungeon crawling (where you can also tame monsters to help out on your farm), and you have Rune Factory. I will always have a soft spot for Harvest Moon games; this just adds another element to it.
  
  
• New Super Mario Brothers - The DS iteration of Mario. Not sure what to really say except it's a fun platformer, and it reminds me of Super Mario 3 when I played.
  
  
• Mario Kart DS - This is fun, and there's just something addictive about it that kept me coming back for yet another round. I liked this version, though some people do say the controls are a bit off, but I never experienced that.
  
  Other games that have been strongly recommended by others (but I have not played):
  
  
• Final Fantasy III
  
• Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
  
• Dragon Quest IX
  
• Radiant Historia
  
• Kirby Canvas Curse
  
• Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  
  
  

1. My girlfriend has been talking about wanting to get a DS for months now. Every time we go near a video game store she stops and plays them. She has started saving a couple times, but every time she starts something happens and she needs the money (car accident, rent, tuition, etc.) It would be amazing if I could surprise her with one.
   
   
2. This game is the one she has been eyeing (used condition). She loves Mario.
   
   Radler is rad.

1. I've never owned a Nintendo console before. I have always wanted to own one.

3. Radler is rad.

I would like a used copy of tetris DS

I had to sell my 3ds I got as a gift and all of the games to pay for rent a year or two ago. I had a buch of games good games (Tetris ds being my favorite) and I only got $120 for it. I am not as strapped for cash as I was, but I don't have 3ds money. I would like to have one again because I miss being able to play games like I use to.

Radler is rad

I would LOVE this. My boyfriend is the gamer of all gamers and I have been just starting to play more since he's been teaching me. The one thing he misses most is having a gameboy. He misses playing his favorite megaman game and even still has 3 Pokemon games and a few others, but nothing to play them on. I've been looking at used ones but Craigslist is kinda sketchy to me when it comes to electronics. I would much rather get one from someone I know has taken care of it (such as yourself). If I can't enter for him that's fine, I figured it was at least worth a shot! Thanks SO much for this contest nikky2069!

Used copies, but still far less than $125. Though, I'd suggest checking a few physical game stop locations nearby. I often find rare gems in the DS/GBA cases they have.

Ghost trick!!!

I had it for ipad, I played it for a bit then stopped, I picked it back up a few months later and finished it and It was so good! like the game play, the story, the characters. It was a great game, you need to experience it for yourself.

1. I really want a DS to play games while traveling and to play some multiplayer games (A lot of friends on these trips also have DS systems.)
   
   
2. New Super Mario Bros because I have never owned or beaten a Mario Bros game. It is available for ~$16 used. Or any Pokemon game should you find one less than $20.
   
   But, I suggest that if I win, raffle the game off to someone else, I can just borrow games from friends.
   
   
3. Radler is rad.
   
   
4. I seriously want the glasses... Just because of the one time they appeared in Doctor Who.

I don't mind the graphics, but yeah they are basically NES graphics. Still, DQ5 is one of my favorite games across all platforms. If the graphics bother you, pick up the DS version https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Quest-Hand-Heavenly-Bride-Nintendo/dp/B001NJMMHG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518639667&sr=8-1&keywords=dragon+quest+5

If you happen to have a Nintendo DS, check out Nostalgia. It's very similar to Skies of Arcadia. There are various dungeons (based around real-world landmarks), turn-based combat, airships (complete with ship combat), a man with a mechanical arm, and an ancient princess of "The White Order" named......wait for it......FIONA!!!

Don't go into it expecting Skies of Arcadia 2. It definitely isn't that at all. The story is much shorter and the world is not nearly as expansive, but it definitely does remind me of SoA a lot. It's worth a playthrough, if only once.

I get you, man. There was some J-Pop I really liked, but wasn't available here in the States. The one place that I could import it from cost about $40 shipped (the album itself was only about $15-18 total). I was hoping to find a free download somewhere, but there were none. I ended up getting it anyway, but that had to be the most expensive album I bought. I could have bought two or three albums with that much. It's a pain when stuff gets limited to specific regions. Or even if it gets limited to smaller quantities. I was excited to see there was a sequel to Hotel Dusk, but was really disappointed it never got released in the US. Looking at the price to import it, it's really hard to justify when that same amount of money could buy a whole lot more game. Steam sales have really spoiled me. But even if I stuck with Nintendo games that's two brand new 3DS games right there. Fortunately some ROM sites have it though.

I just rip all my CD's to digital files. Then the CD's just sit there. What's really weird is going to the store to buy music is cheaper than getting the lossless version on Beatport or other sites because they charge extra if you don't stick with mp3s. You'd think a digital file would be cheaper because you downloaded a copy from a server as opposed to something that took time to be manufactured and shipped somewhere. Usually I'll try and put as much as I can on my iPod, but since i set up a Plex server, I can stream it all whenever I want.

is that an upgrade from the DS-10+? I bought that one on Amazon

edit: Yes it does look like an improved version, and looks great!

edit2: I've been enjoying Rytmik's Retrobits but it is also limited and the sound output is not strong when recording it.

Are you sure it wasn't for the DS? Because that sound a LOT like Dragon Quest - Chapters of the Chosen.

Have you ever played any of the following?:

would Love This!

or here is something a little cheaper

and Here is something D&D-ish that is cheaper than both of them :D

Thank you For the contest! I need to look in to the tabletop pokemon adventures that looks like fun!

Yeah check this out...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fire-Emblem-Shadow-Dragon-Nintendo/dp/B001O1PAMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370531760&sr=8-1&keywords=fire+emblem+shadow+dragon

I REALLY want to play it right now. :(

999: 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors

Love this game to bits but you have to like mystery/visual novel type games. There is a LOT of reading, it's literally dispersed into puzzle and novel portions, but if you want to experience a story that'll blow your goddamn mind I totally recommend it.

More games like this that are heavily story/puzzle based:

Ace Attorney series

Hotel Dusk

Ghost Trick

These are all pretty hard to find in stores but most of them are pretty cheap on amazon right now. ghost trick ,999, hotel dusk

yay entering in hopes of replacing my stolen ds!

First Game I would want to play! I loooove Zelda! :D

I will edit with my contest entry!

I have Brain Age and Mario, going to pick up the other 3 on my list next time I fly home.

Brain Age
Super Mario
GTA Chinatown Wars
Final Fantasy IV
Mario Kart

My Japanese Coach for DS

They do different languages as well.

It's not really what you are looking for, but it is a teaching tool, not very complex, but a good start.

Don't forget about the sequels, which were better in almost every way (if you can believe it!)

http://www.amazon.com/Etrian-Odyssey-II-Lagaard-Nintendo-DS/dp/B00171NYHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303520614&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/Etrian-Odyssey-III-Drowned-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003S55EX2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1303520614&sr=8-2

Tetris is here.

2D Tetris won't benefit from 3D as anything more than gimmickry anyhow. 3D Tetris I'd actually like to see first; in my experience the primary challenge of 3D Tetris is not the fact that you are looking at a 2D screen but that you have to hold in your memory where the holes are because no matter what angle you are looking at, some stuff is obscured. "Real" 3D won't actually change that, unless you can work something really clever out with transparency, which I would love to see someone try.

No, that's not the case. This is the price for DQ6 when just searching for it, but from the sale page it is $35 and remains so after clicking on the link. Of course this is just one example, but I am sure others could find further examples.

I did a little bit of searching and found two possible sources (I actually got my copy of Etrian Odyssey III recently this past March on eBay).

There is a copy of Etrian Odyssey 3 available on Amazon right now (used, very good) for about $45-50. However, I don't know if it is just the cartridge, the cartridge and the case, or everything included. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B003S55EX2/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

There is also a bid on eBay (also used, very good) which is currently at $29.00, and the bid ends around Sunday evening. Judging from the pictures, I believe this has everything included so if you're really lucky you can get it for less than $50.

Other than that, well I couldn't find anything that isn't more than $80. Good luck on your search.

Its a turn based JRPG. You really dont have any twitch movement, fast reactions or anything the sort you really just got to not press the wrong thing with your finger. Plus the controls are literally move your character tap a menu when needed its not that hard.

The big thing here is say what you want about mobile gaming control wise in the case of DQ1-3 the mobile versions 1 + 2 are the most recent versions with the most recent translations since no one outside of japan got the redid SNES version. Then you have the fact that the redid fan translated snes version of the dual pack is straight up buggy (there was a run literally a couple weeks ago where he was playing DQ2 then the game literally just turned into DQ1 with DQ2 mechanics mid playthrough). In the case of DQ3 its debateable but you lose a bit of content on that one (mini medals and something else), but you have a recent translation, an updated difficulty curve to make the game less of a grind fest, an orchestrated soundtrack, and a higher resolution than your other option which is once again a fan translated rom or the literal NES/GBC version.

​

In the case of the game he said though its not even debatable. You get literally the same exact game as the DS versions at a higher resolution with nothing lost visually (the ds split the screens vertically just like the mobile versions except the mobile versions arent broken in the middle) and it doesn't cost an arm or a leg. And by arm or a leg I mean DQVI the game they are saying is better on ds is the same exact experience extra content and all but its 150$ new and 90$ used. DQIV less content on DS since the mobile version has Party Chat.

​

DQ2 on mobile is also tuned thighter to make it less like an old school rpg in terms of balance since the games are all kind of grindy. DQ3 imo is better with the translated version since i like mini medals and the monster animations but even then I can sit here and say oh it doesn't matter if you play this over mobile, it does you lose so much in the process plus you lose the most up to date translated version.

​

Then on top of that the port themselves of all these games are amazing. You can tell they put care into how the controls work, how the graphics look, etc etc when comparing it to...lets say...the mobile chrono trigger port which has control issues.

​

Im most cases imo you really just cant do better than the mobile versions when the alternative is either paying over 100 bucks for a copy, losing content/having a worse translation, having the old school (read annoying) snes difficulty curve, etc. Really DQV and DQIV are the only ones where you can play and have largely the same experience on either versions but DQV is still cheaper on mobile (cost just as much as it did when it came out new/damn near 100$ in EU) or you lost party chat in DQIV.

You lose all of this because you dont want physical buttons.....you really have to just have a vendetta against mobile for no reason at that point.

​

EDIT: I kept calling Monster Medals Mini Medals T_T

There's amazon, they've got a few 3rd party sellers.. Although the price seems a bit high for all of them..

http://www.amazon.ca//dp/B001TOQ8UW

Maybe not right away, but all re-releases have been changed to Dragon Quest. this is the version I have on the DS

http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Quest-IV-Chapters-Chosen-Nintendo/dp/B001AF1NVY

I would get Megaman Zero Collection (DS) and play it on the 3DS. It contains all the Megaman Zero games 1-4 in one cartridge. I found it the most fun and interesting Megaman. It's on sale at Amazon:

• Amazon US
  
• Amazon Canada

YMMV, but if you have Amazon Prime, then DQV is actually cheaper than the SQEX store when you factor in the cost of shipping. https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Quest-Hand-Heavenly-Bride-Nintendo/dp/B001NJMMHG/

Prices (Specific games are imho the best experience..)

Fire Red (Personal Preference, I jsut like charizard lol) (Gen1): Bout $30 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Fire-Version-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B0006GBCZU

Soul Silver (HGSS has the content from Crystal, so they're both largely the same, I just like Lugia more than Ho-Oh lol) (Gen2):$30-$40 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-SoulSilver-Version-Nintendo-DS/dp/B0038MTE7C

Emerald (Content added from Ruby/Sapphire) (Gen3): $35 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Emerald-Version-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B0007D4MVI

Platinum (Content Added From Diamond/Pearl) (Gen4): $25 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Platinum-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001O1OBFY

Black and White are your personal preference, pick whichever you'd like.

B2/W2 hits October 7th in the US, Oct 12th in EU, "Late spring" in Australia, in other words, around October 20th.

This right here. Spent a ton of time on this game, and the different game modes are a lot of fun. The Metroid one especially I always enjoyed.

Not certain why you received a downvote.

Short of a miracle, emulator is just about the only way you're going to play Dragon Warrior I-IV.

While there's a handheld remake for IV(on DS) most of them haven't seen a remake/re-release.

I'll add Dragon Quest V(on DS) and Dragon Quest VI(on DS) as well.

I honestly prefer the fan translations on those two, though.

There was also an anime series done relating(roughly) to the story of Dragon Quest/Warrior III. It aired very briefly in Canada when I was little. Think I only caught the first ~4 episodes, if that.

You may be able to find a better price elsewhere, however this is what it looks like.

And just to mess with you, Nostalgia is also a game (Nintendo DS)

Would you do Platinum for Dragon Quest IV?

Dragon Quest IV

Dragon Warrior was the Americanized NES versions of 'Dragon Quest' from Japan. After the Square Enix merger (I think) they adopted the Dragon Quest name for all iterations.

Here is a quick search result I found.

Its this https://www.amazon.com/Ninokuni-Shikkoku-Madoushi-Japan-nintendo-ds/dp/B001GNBW8E

True, but personally I don't need the manual, box, etc. The game itself is what's important to me, so I'm fine with getting just the cart. I'll probably get it from Amazon, since they still have a ton of them going for about $30.

[Here's a legit copy of mines.] (https://i.imgur.com/eQ1f5Lw.jpg) It may be a little bit turnish from years of use and it don't have the serial number written on the back in black anymore, but I bought mines from GameStop brand new back on release day, which was May 15, 2006.

But anyway, I looked and compared the two. I can see some slight differences. There's too much yellow on the bottom border where you see the grass, just above the A2DE serial number on the front of the game card. The brick block on the far left is a bit more visible and a bit skinnier than mines, also the sticker is a little off to the left side of the game card. It's not lined up directly in the middle, But I honestly don't know if that makes it fake or not. Yours could've just been a more recent print from mines since mines was a release copy. You can compare if you want as well.

I saw some pictures on Amazon where a person had a fake copy on the game. They had it for years not knowing it was a counterfeit copy until Nintendo did the 3DS update which made the game unplayable, so he couldn't return it, but I can tell his looks fake all the way through though.

Shadow Dragon

Probably a stupid question, but I'm planning on picking up a copy of Shadow Dragon from Amazon. However, I've bought games there before and gotten bootleg copies instead of the real deal. Can anyone else who's bought it from Amazon tell me which sellers are trustworthy and which aren't? Thank you!

Here is the mobile version of your link

I got it from Amazon, here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TOQ8UW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It was only $32.24 when I got it. I've noticed some Spirit Tracks copies don't have Link (Like in the sample picture for the Hori case on Amazon), why's that?

The case I got Spirit Tracks in was also significantly different from the cases for my other DS games (I never owned an actual DS). It made me wonder if maybe the game was counterfeit, or if the case was just not an original or something, but I don't know how to tell. Here are picture comparisons: http://imgur.com/a/dXksf

Anyone reading this know why it's different?

What do you mean you missed it? You can buy any DS game and play them on the 3ds. The DS cartridges fit into the 3ds without issue, it's completely backwards compatible with pretty much all DS titles.
