Cheaper ds games

To the old school puzzle fans that grew up playing Tetris on their Gameboy, controlling a puzzle game with a stylus might seem intimidating, but I can assure you, you will wish there were other puzzle games like this.

This installment provides a fun take with two different storylines. Jumping between both screens, using the touch screen in battle, and large-scale battles between Bowser and his enemies. The series typically has great humor, but this installment is still one of the best of the bunch. So if you either have a 3DS already or think you might get one before too long, you might want to weigh that decision. However, the 3DS version is about three times the price at the time of this writing.

There have been some other Space Invaders revival games released since this one, but I still find this to be the sweet spot. SIE also used to be a DS exclusive, but has been ported elsewhere If you end up enjoying this one, Space Invaders Extreme 2 is just a bit more expensive.

You gather information and clues along the way to help your patrons. The surprisingly-deep story really helps make the game, but the puzzles can be interesting as well. In fact, to this day, this original installment is one of the best in the series and the most affordable. The personality of Phoenix Wright and the Ace Attorney franchise is indeed different than its peers, but it is a splendid mix of point-and-click adventure vibes, courtroom drama and a quirky sense of humor.

The game barely made it out of Japan, but once there was enough buzz around it, there was reprints of the game to make the rounds. Ouendan, Elite Beat Agents is a wonderful music rhythm game. Players tap and slide the stylus across the screen, hitting markers in time with a licensed soundtrack.

As great as the rhythm gameplay is, the story and presentation really sets this one apart. It may not have the fun Japanese kitsch of some other rhythm games, but the American pop touches hold up better than one might think. This little gem from Treasure is a portable follow-up that got a bigger print run, but not quite the attention it deserved.

If you enjoy shooters, this one is a steal. These levels can extend horizontally or vertically and have gravity which effects the robots trajectory.

Clubhouse Games is a great single player cartridge, but it is amazing when playing with a friend via wifi. For the longest time, Clubhouse Games was a rather pricey cart in the aftermarket, however, it saw a budget re-release that flooded the market with lots of copies. Even though it does scrap some antiquated mechanics like random battles, it maintains the retro charm. At the same time, Radiant Historia does manage to take risks with the gameplay formula to create a compelling, semi-modern experience.

The game has a fun but complicated three-by-three grid battle system which offers tons of different strategies along with an interesting time travel mechanic to keep the plot interesting. The use of the dual screens is where Henry Hatsworth really shines. The top screen features a very pleasant platformer, in which you take down the enemies in your path.

On the bottom screen, fallen enemies launch themselves into blocks that can be matched together to prevent the monsters from resurrecting.

If you enjoy either of the two genres, or just want to get some great retro fun, I strongly recommend picking this one up. The DS really let the Wario Ware series bloom with its touch screen, microphone and dual display. As you progress, it can speed up these games to increase the challenge. Nintendo made sure to utilize the DS hardware in clever fashion and make Wario Ware Touched produce high replayability.

However, this gem does offer Wifi racers and a perfectly-balanced single-player experience with lots of nice touches. Originally, Puzzle Quest was high demand, so it retained its value rather well. Eventually, there were enough copies floating around and came down in price, so you can now score a copy dirt cheap. The game received lots of critical acclaim but remained an underground hit. Score it on the cheap while you can. If you enjoy puzzle adventures, this one is worth tracking down, however.

To show off their new DS handheld, Big N wanted to be able to transition this formula to a portable. The transition did create some compromises. Metroid Prime Hunters made heavy use of the DS touchscreen, but with no analog sticks, movement was sometimes a struggle.

Still, the title was graphically impressive for a handheld at the time and maintained most of the atmosphere that Metroid games are known for. Good stuff. The setup will also be attractive to fans of graphic novels. Hotel Dusk Room has you hold the DS like a book and the black and white, hand-drawn character portraits and their animations give the title a unique, engrossing feel. Along the way, players use the touch screen to grill characters, search for clues and solve mystifying puzzles.

Initially, this was a bit of an underground gem, but sales warranted an additional print run that has kept the resale prices relatively low. This is far from the cheapest title on this list and I recommend picking this gem up before this one starts creeping back up in price. The DS installment pretty much delivered that premise to us with some rather gimmicky touch-screen controls added in.

Once you get use to them, Star Fox Command is a more-than-enjoyable experience as is quite a bargain for a big-name Nintendo release.
