Middle Era DS, 2007-2008, Ranked (Just Starting!)
The DS stands as a fascinating console in the history of games. Its unique features are nearly impossible to replicate in any type of emulation. The action of touching the screen as well as the two physical, unconnected screens are possible to approximate, but cannot replace the original experience. I'm using Twilight menu on my 3DS to explore the DS catalogue in semi-chronological order using native hardware, not emulation.
I am skipping shovelware like movie tie ins or games that are just the portable version of bigger console games. There may be a few of those added in here or there out of curiosity, but I'll be skipping most of them. If I miss any notable titles, recommendations are always appreciated!
I'm fatigued from the early era so now I'm kicking off the Middle era which is when developers really began pushing the console to new and interesting areas. I tried to get through the early era quite quickly but this one will take a long time to fill out, ideally I'll get this part done by the end of 2022 but no promises. There's a LOT of Visual Novels and JRPGs here and those will take a long time.
A list of games I wish to add that are not in yet:
