Best Nintendo DS games

updated Nov 26

By Jeff Bakalar, Assistant Editor

The Nintendo DS (and its smaller, sleeker sibling, DS Lite) has been a smash hit follow-up to the company's Game Boy. It lacks the advanced graphics of the Sony PSP, instead offering a unique gameplay experience thanks to the dual-screen design (the bottom one of which is a PDA-style touchscreen). It's also backward compatible with all Game Boy Advance games.
