This ranked reader-voted list of the 50 best Nintendo DS games is governed by Nintendo Life User Ratings and can change depending on those scores. Feel free to rate your favourites and, perhaps, rejig the ranking below. Enjoy!


One of the joys of Nintendo's Switch is how it marries the company's home console heritage with its equally prestigious handheld line. Ask anybody over the age of thirty to name a handheld system and "Game Boy" will likely still be the first answer; the name became synonymous with portable gaming just as home consoles were routinely referred to as "Nintendos" back in the day. Younger generations, though, are more likely to name the unlikely upstart that stole Game Boy's portable crown and permanently ousted that mighty brand name from Nintendo's lineup: Nintendo DS.

It's strange to think back to a time when the Nintendo DS — that odd-looking folding system — was positioned as a 'third pillar' alongside GameCube and Game Boy Advance. That was until it promptly slayed the Boy king and took his throne.

The original prototype and even the initial 'Phat' version of the hardware certainly didn't look like much of a threat. The early reveal model Reggie pulled from his pocket looked undeniably clunky, especially up against the sleek elegance of Sony's PSP. There was a nervousness from fans that Sony's arrival on the handheld market was the death knell to Nintendo's dominance in the same way it had been with the home console market nearly a decade earlier. How was an ugly dual screen Game and Watch-alike going to win a console war?! Nintendo seemed to be grabbing at straws, and inexplicably jumping off the good ship Game Boy, scuppering its flagship handheld for no good reason.

The gamble paid off, though, and the Nintendo DS became the first movement in a blue ocean strategy that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata would soon employ on the company's home console line with the Wii. With its approachable touchscreen input and huge breadth of software to appeal to audiences old and young, gamer and non-gamer alike, the DS helped bring handheld gaming to the masses which had felt 'excluded' from the Game Boy phenomenon for whatever reason.

Software like Brain Training and Nintendogs sat alongside core RPGs and classic games on a system that could be as wacky or as straight-laced as a developer desired. Gamers' favourite franchises continued to arrive in fresh forms while games like Animal Crossing: Wild World found a huge new audience, too. Perhaps the biggest compliment we can pay the Nintendo DS is that it made us forget entirely about the retirement of the 'Game Boy' brand - it's got one hell of a library!

We asked Nintendo Life readers to score for their favourite Nintendo DS games and, thanks to those User Ratings, the following ranked list of 50 games steadily congealed into existence. It's a very fine selection, but not one that's set in stone.

50. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)

Release Date: 29th Nov 2010 (USA) / 10th Dec 2010 (UK/EU)

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is certainly an enjoyable and engaging RPG adventure, but you can't help but wish the developer had been a little more ambitious with the game, especially considering the seven year wait. The wealth of classic Golden Sun elements should please most long-time fans of the series, but the return of the lengthy dialogue, not to mention the somewhat short quest and tame difficulty level, might not be quite as welcome among veteran RPG fans looking for a more considerable challenge. Dark Dawn might not be the major upgrade many were hoping for, but it is yet another solid DS role-playing adventure and a golden opportunity to revisit yet another classic RPG series.

49. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks might suffer from a bad reputation, but if you can get past being tied to a train track, it really is an excellent entry in the series. It tweaks, expands and in some ways improves on the foundations of Phantom Hourglass and throws in some new novelties. Its fabulous soundtrack stands alongside the best of the series and we think its time to reevaluate this entry in the storied franchise. Choo-choo.

48. Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (DS)

Release Date: 10th Nov 2008 (USA) / 21st Nov 2008 (UK/EU)

Like its predecessor Shadows of Almia takes a while to get going and the gameplay can get repetitive, but there's a variety of attacks to learn to deal with that helps to keep things interesting; if you like collecting Pokémon, tracking them down will keep you busy. The tweak to the capture process puts an end to the sometimes frustrating failures of the previous game, but it does lessen the challenge somewhat. Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is an enjoyable game, all said, but not an essential one.

47. Okamiden (DS)

Release Date: 15th Mar 2011 (USA) / 18th Mar 2011 (UK/EU)

Okamiden is an epic adventure in every sense that just happens to be running on a diminutive DS. With a well written storyline, a huge over-world and gorgeous visuals and sound, it's an experience that compares favourably to the original Okami. There are occasional frame rate drops and some awkward D-Pad controls (much like Super Mario 64 DS, we recommend playing on a 3DS and using its analogue nub), but this is an exceptional achievement which will enchant you with its cute hero and heart-warming story. Even all these years later, it deserves a chance to be enjoyed if you liked Okami, or are a fan of Zelda-style adventure games.

46. Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time (DS)

Release Date: 28th Nov 2005 (USA) / 10th Feb 2006 (UK/EU)

Although everyone has an individual preference, and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time may not be the strongest game in the series, that's more a reflection of just how great the Mario & Luigi games are. While the story might hover just below the level of other instalments, it's still creative, appealing and laugh-out-loud funny, and mastering the four-button setup of battles is as fun as ever. Bowser's Inside Story might have the edge, but it's tough to go wrong with this series.

45. Pokémon Conquest (DS)

Publisher: Nintendo / Developer: Tecmo Koei

Release Date: 18th Jun 2012 (USA) / 27th Jul 2012 (UK/EU)

Pokémon Conquest is a game that no one asked for, but many will enjoy — fans of either series will be drawn in by the familiar and be taught to love what’s new. It does just about everything right, though there are shortcomings: more Pokémon being included would have helped, as would a deeper story – Pokémon Black and White showed that the monster-catching series is capable of telling a story with some heft to it. These are little more than nicks in the armour, though. Pokémon Conquest absolutely stands with Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Puzzle League as one of the best spin-offs the franchise has seen.

44. Etrian Odyssey (DS)

Later entries might have taken the template of the original and improved upon it, but that's true for almost any decent series and the original Etrian Odyssey is still a cracking portable dungeon crawler from Atlus. That soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro doesn't hurt, either.

43. Meteos (DS)

50 trò chơi nintendo ds hàng đầu năm 2023

  • 8.33

Publisher: Nintendo / Developer: Q Entertainment

Release Date: 27th Jun 2005 (USA) / 23rd Sep 2005 (UK/EU)

A tile-matching game from producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the developer behind such memorising titles as Rez, Lumines and, more recently, Tetris Effect, Meteos was an early puzzle hit in the life of the DS and a is good enough to stand proudly in the company of the very best in the genre. Discovering that quickly swiping the stylus across the screen often gave better results that consciously puzzling your way through was a minor disappointment, but those who avoided that temptation found a brilliantly addictive game - one that occupied our cart slot for many months.

42. Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (DS)

Publisher: Bandai Namco / Developer: CyberConnect2

Release Date: 27th Sep 2011 (USA) / 1st Jul 2011 (UK/EU)

Solatorobo: Red the Hunter is a game crafted with care and painstaking detail, incorporating a lengthy, well-written story with engaging battle mechanics and an impressive variety of quest styles. If text-heavy Japanese RPGs don’t appeal to you, then this may not be a great fit. However, those seeking an original, attractive experience that might have slipped your notice should hunt this game down.

41. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS)

Publisher: Take Two / Developer: Rockstar

Release Date: 17th Mar 2009 (USA) / 20th Mar 2009 (UK/EU)

Nintendo gamers might have missed out on the big GTAs, but we did get this bespoke little entry which tuned out better than anyone dared dream. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars truly is one the best titles to ever grace the Nintendo DS. Despite the fact that it took on an old-style graphical approach, Rockstar Leeds brought along almost every aspect of the home console games and compressed it in a way that made sense on Nintendo's handheld. It sees a return of the traditional top-down gameplay of the first two GTAs but blends elements from the later games to create a unique and thrilling game that still stands up today.
