Alright just finished this...

Alright just finished this. Was great but fuck that fucking axe ending Jesus Christ! Anyway what do you guys recommend on the DS? DS only please I don't have a 3DS yet! Top 5, 10 are welcome.

Ghost trick

This

Etrian Odyssey III is one of my favorite games of all time. Be sure to make a five farmers and put their first 3 skill points in combat study so, then just have them live in the explorers guild and passivley rack up xp. Their harvest skills are needed to complete several sidequests.

Don't play ghost trick. Especially not after 999. It'll pale in comparison to 999.

I have personally done that and it kinda ruined ghost trick for me.

Play SMT strange journey instead.

ace attorney series

start with the first (this is important)

ghost trick is from the same devs iirc

>Don't play ghost trick.
This user tells dangerous lies.

fuck off, Ghost Trick is great

i enjoyed both 999 and Ghost Trick a lot

Get a 3DS and buy VLR kiddo

>Especially not after 999. It'll pale in comparison to 999.

I think you accidentally a universe?

here is where, on its respective platform, all other games pale compared to GT

warp back to where you belong, anti-user

Kyle Hyde series

The DS has a PS2 tier library, there's more good games than you could possibly hope to list in a thread like this

Strange Journey
Valkyie Profile Covenant of the Plume
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (needs translation patch)
Front Mission
Hotel Dusk
Phoenix Wright
There's also 3 castlevania games
Off the top of my head

>Don't play ghost trick.

you are making my blood boil with these lousy opinions!

best story-driven VN-ish games:
Ace Attorney (3 is the highlight of the series but play all of them)
Ghost Trick

best JRPG of maybe all time:
The World Ends With You

Order of Ecclesia
HeartGold/SoulSilver
Megaman ZX (ZX Advent is alright too, but it's worse than the first one)

>Don't play ghost trick
You can just fuck right off

I really need to replay those. By the way, in a couple of weeks that new game from ex-Cing devs comes out, starring japanese not-Kyle.

first post, best post

drop dead

don't listen to this faggot OP
Ghost Trick is great

Should I play ghost trick on phone or pc

Ghost Trick is overrated -
By that I mean anons like to herald it as a 10/10 GOTY best game ever literally perfect

It's a great game and definitely worth playing, but it's not the best game ever. 999 leaves a much stronger lasting impression, whereas ghost trick ends and you think 'well that was nice' and move on

DS

>ghost trick ends and you think 'well that was nice'
Did we even play the same game? If you can play the end of without having a swell of emotions you might have an actual mental disability.

I also don't see how the two keep getting compared, apart from being the same genre they have very little in common in terms of storytelling and gameplay. There is no reason for someone not to play one just because they already played the other.

bleach dark souls and any of the yugioh games. those lasted me a long time especially yugioh

the game is actually perfect for phones and tablets imo, and actually run better and at higher resolutions into comparison to the DS (assuming your phone isn't from 2007)

but either way, it's fine. I played it on the DS

Try The World Ends With You

Maybe if had ever owned a dog it would be more emotionally swelling. It was cute, it didn't give me feels

If you want more DS VN's then:
Ghost Trick
Phoenix Wright series
Hotel Dusk

Non VN worthwhile games:
Order of Ecclesia
Portrait of Ruin
Devil Survivor
Etrian Odyssey 3
The World Ends With You

try inazuma eleven. I would call it top ten but I love it, one of my favorites.

>own 2 Pomeranians
It's great.

*wouldn't

Lux pain aka the best DS game.

VNs aren't games user

Ghost trick is really good like everyone else in the thread has said (not quite 10/10 imo)

My main advice is to avoid zero escape threads at all costs until you get a 3ds and play vlr (or emulate it when that becomes viable).

Good thing Lux Pain isn't a VN

Your advice sucks ass. He should drop ZE and never under any circumstances play ZTD.

What gameplay does it have?

ZTD is necessary
You need to come to terms with it, you can't just pretend it doesn't exist because you don't like it

Sigma
This game is good but it really doesn't compare to VLR. is
Get a 3DS, buy VLR and enjoy the story. However keep in mind that the last entry Zero Time Dilemma is shit

...

You scratch the screen looking for a worm or something.
>is necessary
>retcons stuff from both games
Nah

>implying I didn't shift in another timeline where it was never released

How are Mega Man ZX and the zero collection?

Getting my ass kicked in the zero collection at the moment

I'd say it's pretty good

>Not faxing yourself back to before the game came out and stopping its production
Git gud. I bet there are only 1 of you in every timeline

If I shoot you will you die?

But if I did, I wouldn't have these threads with you guys!

>stopping its production
>implying that's possible
It would only end up creating a new timeline and nothin else. Why not save me the trouble and shift my way in?

pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky

>SMT SJ
>good
Boring as fuck. Dungeon crawlers with random encounters will always be shit and outdated

>le random encounters are outdated meme
Fucking P3 babies

I enjoyed this one, although I forget alot of it, maybe I should replay it.

Plebbb

They're nice, ZX advent is okay

fire turtle a best

Man, now you are making me want to replay 999 to get the taste of ZTD out of my mouth.

How did we go from a 10/10 and end up with this... something

Also for a fun side game that no one's mentioned yet, the wario ware and rhythm heaven games on DS are almost all great.

>Don't play ghost trick

It doesn't matter what your reasoning is, starting any post with this automatically makes you a faggot.

Your taste should be burned at the stake

Don't listen to this massive faggot, OP

>It was cute

Dude you watched a man bent on revenge after his life was ruined admit his mistakes and reset a universe. And then Missile revealing it was all part of his plan after several years of waiting has next to nothing at all to do with him being a dog. That goes beyond just cute.

You're definitely autistic.

My GF is pushing for a pomeranian and she wants to name it missle when we get a place together.

Letting her play Ghost trick was the right move.

Ghost Trick really sucks compared to Ace Attorney.

If you play GT, definitely play it before the AA games. If you play it afterwards, it feels like a handhold-ey mess with braindead puzzles.

I thought Ghost Trick was far superior to any Ace Attorney game in everything but character interaction, and only the funny bits.

And thats just the tip. The DS has shit tons for you to explore.

I fucking love the DS

Are you new to time travel plots? That's nothing too outstanding

I never said it was new but it sure as hell wasn't simply just cute.

...

I've been playing this game every now and then for a couple of months. But why have so many farmers?

The execution was cute
And I don't mean that in a strictly "omg kawaii" way, rather it was a well done simple execution of a novel plot. Nothing mindblowing along the lines of the bottom screen narration was young akane the whole time and you're actively helping her in the past

It still amazes me to this day

No matter how long you've played the DS for, you'll ALWAYS find something new and exciting to try.

I've emulated titles for 8 solid years now, played and own over 300 DS titles, and I still keep finding more.

I know I'm late but I came here to post this. Thanks user

In terms of just time travel and small details it's not anything revolutionary but you definitely can't discredit all those plot twists in conjunction with one another. They came flying harder and in bigger numbers than any point in 999.

Don't you SHIT ON Cubic Ninja.

It is GOD AWFUL on 3DS. ITs fine mobile, but gyro only on 3DS should be a crime

That 3DS 3rd party line up is cherry picking, those are definitely not the best the 3DS can put out.

>9 hours
>9 persons
>9 doors
what a stupid title

Than 999 sure, but VLR still has it beat in that regard

VLR had even less twists and heavy hitting moments than 999 in general

Nothing in VLR even touches Safe Ending

>people think VLR was better than 999 in any storytelling regard
???

>VLR beats out 999 in storytelling
>Ghost Trick is weak compared to these stories

You could've just said you were a giant flaming faggot from the beginning and saved us time, user

VLR hits you with a higher quantity of twists in a smaller amount of time, that's as far as my point goes

Is VLR still recommended? I played 999 and I keep hearing anons talk like the series goes down hill afterwards

VLR and ZTD are deeply connected to each other, and ZTD doesn't pay off
If you play VLR you are going to want to play ZTD but you may not like it

It's up to you

The general consensus is:

999 - Fantastic, easily the best overall
VLR - Pretty good. Lacks the tension of 999 but makes other small improvements. Ends on a complete cliffhanger unfortunately which is what made people disappointed at the time. Otherwise pretty good, puzzles are way harder here for some reason.
ZTD - Enjoyable disappointment. Don't go in expecting anything and you'll be entertained, or at least saved by the memes

Even if you play the next two games it's not like it taints the existence of 999 in any way since it's such a good story already standalone, so go for it.

This is a very accurate summary

All 3 games are worth playting

Thanks anons. I'll keep in mind to check them out but will try not to expect as much

Pic related is fantastic
Lots of great games already in this thread, some others that haven't been mentioned:
The Dark Spire
Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja
Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Rhapsody (pretty solid port of the ps1 game)

There's also a pretty cool DS version of Ketsui, its really difficult to find for a sane amount of money nowadays
The DS library can keep you going for ages, its great

the obvious ones are ace attorney, ghost trick, hotel dusk and last window

Forgot to mention Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, great remake of a jp-only super famicom roguelike

someone dump the definitive list of wrightlikes for ds and 3ds

>Don't play ghost trick
While SJ is my favourite SMT, you disappoint me with this opinion.

>11 different replies just to tell this one user he's a faggot for suggesting against Ghost Trick

You know sometimes this board is ok

By the way whoever you are, you're a faggot and I hope you never reproduce

Over in one. This is the best thing to play right after 999.

Play some BUTTERY SMOOTH Ghost Trick

>

I hope your death is as equally terrible as your taste

>Don't play ghost trick.

>Hurr Battle Network 4 is mediocre
>But BN2, 3, 5, and 6, all amazing games somehow don't count towards this list.
What fucking faggot put this piece of shit image together?
