NDS Emulation - Roms, Games, Reviews - Home

What’s your favourite DS game of all time? When I think of the DS games that really stand out I think of ones from quite a while ago. Super Mario Cart and New Super Mario Brothers are up there for sure. Zelda was good. In more recent times nothing really stands out. Chrono Trigger is great, but that was made decades ago on the Super Nintendo. I think Nintendo should look at the DS’s strengths, it’s ability to run pixel based old school games well, and stop trying to be fancy with 3D graphics on a system that can’t really handle it. To be fair I think the DS is in need of a processor upgrade, maybe in the form of an add on cart. I’ll give you an example. I’ve been playing Zelda Age or Seasons and Age of Oracles (a truly great couple of games by the way!). They are old Game Boy Color games. The DS just can’t handle it when there’s lots of music and sprites all over the place. So instead I’m running them on my PSP. Imagine that. A Sony hand-held better at emulating an old 8-bit Neintendo hand-held from 10 years ago than the latest Nintendo handheld. There’s something wrong with that.
