I bought Yoshi's Island DS based on Gamespot's glowing almost worshipping review. I no longer read gamespot.

Contact? Yoshi's Island? ADVANCED WARS? ANIMAL CROSSING!? Dear lord this list wasn't given much thought. Yeah, these games are all nice titles, but the DS has such more immersive, beautiful and overall just better games than these over-hyped main-steam *1st party* games (Not sure about Contact though).
But hey, one mans junk is another mans treasure, right? So I guess this will just be a clash of oppinions. *shrugs*

I'd take off Contact and put in Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time. And, I'd change Portrait of Ruin for Dawn of Sorrow.

I have 5 of those. I don't like the ranking though. I feel like I have nothing to aspire to own yet.
Except for Elite Beat Agents, which isn't avaliable here. But I will have it. Soon.

> 1. New Super Mario Bros.
What you find in that stuff, people? Never could understand...
And first place?? For what??? Old timer platformer which looks exactly like it did 15(?) years ago????? And first place??????????
I'd personally put two games: Tetris DS and 42 Classics (or Clubhouse Games in US) DS. Meteos and Metroid would be after them.

Trauma Centre: Under the Knife
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!

Phoenix Wright needs to be 1. For sure. My favorite DS game, and in my top 10 favorite games of all time.(I think my top 10 is a 10-way tie)

The list should definitely include Ouendan and Pokémon. I'd also take Nintendogs out (boring!)

Honestly, you guys are very judgemental against the wrong games. Firstly, Yoshi's Island DS is a VERY good game. I still play it, and I haven't completed it 100% yet. I think you guys are just bashing it for it's music, because everything else about it is exceptional. Advance Wars: Dual Strikes is a good game too. Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow SHOULD have been up there as well. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.... well, I haven't played it, but I've gotten very good hearings about it. All those games are good, and it's far too hard to make a list of these games. I would take Yoshi's Island as number 1, though, since it has kept me entertained for the longest time. Mario Kart would be second, and I guess one or the other Castlevania games would be 3 and 4. PokeMon Diamond/Pearl 5th, Advance Wars:Dual Strike, 6.
This is the reason why professional sites are unreliable. I always check GameSpot's opinion on games so I can criticize it. They aren't very good.
