P-p-pokemon?

GBA games

The Brain Age games are pretty fun. Not something you sit and relax to but if you have a few minutes its enjoyable to play a few of their games. Chinatown Wars is honestly one of the best gta games out there. Absolutely a must have. All the Castlevania games on the ds are fantastic. It may not have been the greatest game ever but I had a lot of fun with Infinite Space.

Where's elite beat agents

Megaman Zero collection

>>381298791
>>381299006
Everything so far is good. I would only add Animal Crossing and Elite Beat Agents. Trying to keep it to a contained list is tough because so many genres were represented in so many ways.

I know a lot of people don't like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 but I think it's good, you should try it.

What would be the most ideal playstation console for me?

I hate all Pokemon


I hate all The Legend Of Zelda Games


I hate all Indie (independent) games


I do not like playing in online modes.


I only play AAA videogames


And only play video games Rated E For Everyone on the ESRB

>>381298791
Add the two best Pokemon games, Heartgold/Soulsilver and Black/White 2 if you like Pokemon

>>381300105

You seem to have made a mistake. You said 'best pokemon games' when you meant 'worst pokemon games'.

>>381300695
shit taste

>best Pokemon selection
>best singleplayer content
>best plot
>HG/SS is the best remake hands down, actually adds stuff unlike ORAS which cut content
>B/W2 best sequel hands down
>best metagame in late Gen IV
>best sprites

I'm sure there's other stuff, but they're better than your favorite Pokemon games

>>381300945

The fact that Black focused on plot is one of the reasons its the worst. Every single area was the same thing. Corridor of NPC cutscenes you had to get through before you were able to freely search the grass for Pokemon. And the whole game is a big circle of corridors that returns back to the start. When a Pokemon game plays like fucking Final Fantasy XIII, you know there's a problem.

Aside from this, it also has the slowest battles, most gated content and worst EXP rates. HG/SS shares all these flaws as well.

>>381300105
You mean Heartgold/Soulsilver and Platnium

>Ghost Trip

It's Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Came into this thread to post it because its story is 10/10 and the mechanics are super fun.

not a big franchise. but still great fun

>>381305646
I don't get why people wouldn't like this. The several characters gimmick is terrible, given. But other than that it's great. I actually really love all the extra levels and content, too.

Oh, and chasing down rabbits is a Donkey Kong 64 tier chore, but I'm not enough of a completionist to bother.

>>381298791
Rhythm Heaven Fever is on the Wii

>>381300945
>tfw I stopped playing Pokemon competitively after Gen IV
Seems like I dodged a bullet

>>381298791
>snubbing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Come on son

Umihara Kawase Shun, its not an exclusive but its a great port that comes with the original game. Perfect handheld game.

>>381297670
Kirby Super Star Ultra and Canvas Curse. TWEWY, Pokemon Platinum, Black2/White2.

>>381297670
Alex Rider is all I play.

>>381308025
i understand that reference

>>381297670
Rune factory 3.

>>381297670
Shill out for the 3ds instead honestly
Not even being paid by Nintendo this time to say this
- Virtual console
- Full Backwards Compatibility
- >MUH SMASH BROTHERS
- Still a solid build quality as ever

Worth it desu

Other wise go pick up Mario 64 DS, it's basically what Zero mission was for Metroid

>>381309069
I'm sure he's looking to emulate or just got a flash cart

>>381309231
Oh. I never thought of that.
I assumed he was just going to pick up a cheap DS lmao.

>>381299171
Are the the DS versions of FF III and IV the best versions of those games?
I've always been interested in getting into FF, but each game has so many different remasters and rereleases that I don't even know which versions are the best for each game, let alone where to start the series at.

Mega Man Zero Collection
Mega Man ZX

>>381297670
The World Ends with You

>>381303282

You gotta give the inazuma eleven games a go

>>381311320
I saw the compilation of those recommended for the 3DS, what on earth are they?

>>381311320
I have no idea how to play these games, I only know that you collect shotas

>>381311437
>>381311572
It's football pokemon. The football gameplay is really enjoyable, it's top down and you control all your players at once with the stylus, it's really responsive.
A lot of enjoyment comes from collecting more players and unlocking cuhrayzee moves but that only gets really fun in the second game.

>>381312592
Huh, that actually sounds kinda neat. I always passed on it because I didn't think much of football, but I'll give it a go

>>381298791
Why do people mention 999 without the other two games?

>>381307585
Delet this
Rhythm Heaven Gold is the best one

>>381312782
Probably because VLR and ZTD aren't on the DS at all
That, and 999 is great even as a standalone game

>>381312592
So you actually use stylus in it? Might try it out, but I still think it's gay/fujo shit.

>>381310863
Someone explain because this looks cool as fuck for ds.

>>381309639
Don't know whether the ds version of IV is better than the PSP version but the ds version of III is easily the best and although its one of the less liked entries I still thoroughly enjoyed it, but then again it was my first Final Fantasy

>>381311320
Wait a second, the trilogy 3DS version was only released in Japan.
Which versions of the 3 games should I get?

The Call of Duty games in the DS are a dumpsterfire that deserve to be witnessed IF you're using a R4 and don't have to pay for them of course

>>381313723
the 3ds ports are pretty bad tbqh senpai
just get the ds versions of them all, there should be an english patch for the 3rd one somewhere

>>381306645
How does this work? Does it read monsters off ds games?

>>381313892
Oh, alright
But what about the 2 different versions of 2, and the 3 different versions of 3?
Does each version have enough new content to justify playing them all, or do they copy Pokemon by having jack shit differences?
