Screens and videos are helpful when you want to get a feel for a game. Sometimes, though, they do nothing to impress you (especially those DS videos that you have to watch on tiny screens). Then, you actually play the game in question, and it's better than it looks. (We're not just talking graphically, but gameplay-wise, too).

Doki Doki Majo Shinpan.
The animation is incredible, even for the DS's high standards. I would say it is the most impressive game I've got on the DS. Even more so than Canvas Curse. It's my favourite game, for sure. In screenshots it looks so dead and stale, but when held in your hands you can really see the beauty. It's amazing. There really is no other game like it on the DS.
I would implore all people to check out this game. It's really import friendly. And it's fun for the whole family. My sister, who's 7, says it's her favourite game as well. It really is addictive.

I'd most definitely say that the first Phoenix Wright (or Gyakuten Saiban) was a real delight for me. I didn't really think that text based adventures could recapture my attention, but Phoenix Wright did so without fail!

No screenshot can accurately convey the incredible attention to detail of either Castlevania DS game.

Professor Layton. I was amazed at how the short videos looked smooth compared to other games' videos I've seen.

Yep, Geometry Wars: Galaxies. I just "didn't get it," until I actually played it for myself.

I love the graphics in GW:G. Just as clear as the 360 version, but no wavey background when you fire. Not that I can remember anyway

Almost all of the games that focus on 3d characters and environments. Animal crossing, and mario party, both look pretty cruddy in screenshots but look great in motion.

That's the case with so many DS games. The screens look horrible, but once it's in your hands, it looks pretty amazing.

Case with games for Nintendo systems, period
I still recall when the internet got in an uproar over the horribly jaggy filled first-screenshots of the completed build of Metroid Prime 3, and that game turned out fine

assasins creed i liked alot-not as much to be put into my favorite game but if you look at it as a seperate game from the 360 then it really is a decent game
yes the mini-games were pointless and stupid but not used much putting the bad points lower.......not a bad game people really....

Definitely the Ace Attorney games. And TWEWY has awesome animation/art style too, but thats to be expected from ol' Tetsuya :)
