Walkthroughs ds games

After picking up a mysterious device, players discover a demon outbreak in locked-down Japan and find out that they each only have seven days left to live. Well, the gameplay on the bottom touch screen looks tidy and plays smoothly. Character stats sit out of the way on the top screen, ready for when you want to do a bit of upgrading or battle shuffling.

Give it a try and let us know your thoughts! Another game that moves the main gameplay to the bottom screen is Meteos , keeping most the action between the main buttons so you can properly hone in and get stuck into some hardcore puzzling. Essentially, this is basically a space-age version of Columns.

Asteroids fall from space i. Match blocks with the same symbols on them together. Get combos, and pull off special moves that take out other blocks that are still falling. Still, the gameplay is fantastic, and the introduction fo the new character customisation panel system went down a storm with fans of the series. Elite Beat Agents brings rhythmical fun to the DS.

Play as one of the Elite Beat agents, a taskforce designed to bring happiness to the world through the power of song and dance. Like The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, gamers use the stylus to do all of the hard work in this game. Get rings in a certain order and hit beats in time. Bowser has finally realised that instead of capturing Peach to get to Mario, he can go straight to Mario.

She can also cry to make plants grow taller…. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is up next, continuing the brilliance of the very first Advance Wars title, once of the best Game Boy Advance games of all time! Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is a strategy game where players take it in turns to fight against enemy armies.

Capture territories, destroy generals, and make use of commanding officers with special abilities that can help to turn the tide of a battle. Gameplay does look a little like a bomb has gone off in a clip art factory at times, but its a fun game to play with lots of exciting and nail-biting features. Pick up crowns as you explore the vast overworld through both the day and night, working with the flow of time and battling enemies every-which-way you turn. The characters change their looks depending on what weapons they are using or what armour they are wearing.

It might be a small cartridge, but this is one in-depth game. Play through the original cases from the Ace Attorney GBA title and get stuck into a fifth new title too. Plus, if your mic still works, you can should Objection out loud and have an effect on the gameplay.

For fans of detective dramas, Ace Attorney will provide hours of fun. Search for fingerprints, blow dust off using the mic, and check out items up close and personal using the inventory mode. The graphics look fantastic too, with most of the gameplay appearing like clips from a Manga cartoon series.

It might not be as fast and furious as the next title in our list, but this is certainly one for those gamers that like to keep their grey matter on top form.

As with every GTA game, crime pays. As I mentioned above, Chinatown Wars is played from a top down perspective which feels odd compared to the usual third-person camera angle from the console games. Another weird thing that you might have noticed is the cel-shaded graphics.

Still, driving a cel-shaded car into everything and anything causing explosions and mass pandemonium is still super fun, if a little kiddy.

Yes, the pastel-coloured Superstar returns with a cracking set of adventures for gamers to sink their teeth into! Well, Ultra bumps it up a notch, adding new games into the mix as well as updated versions of the old ones. Yes, gamers can co head-to-head or team up to play through the game modes. Heck, you even hold the DS like a book to play the game….

Hotel Dusk feels a lot like Heavy Rain and other detective titles. Players control a retired New York cop called Kyle Hyde. Kyle must talk with guests to learn their pasts, interrogating NPCs while trying to maintain an air of secrecy about his presence.

Solve puzzles that Link would have a hard time sorting out, search every nook and cranny, and marvel at the artistic graphics that look like a cross between Okami and Comix Zone. It also provides fans of the series with a new adventure that steps away from the original storyline. In Order of Ecclesia, the Belmont Clan have gone into hiding, and an order to monks are taking charge.

Players control a woman called Shanoa, one of the monks who boasts the best magical skill to thwart the undead minions sent forth by Dracula. The witch drops a magic paintbrush, which unfortunately becomes a little plastic pencil in our real-life human hands. Make tracks and paths for Kirby to roll along as he bounces through each stage…. Porting the game from the PS2 to a dual-screen handheld was always going to be tough.

So much so, in fact, that many fans were worried it would flop terribly. The reality is that this is a spectacular title that plays superbly, bringing all the charm of the original game with you wherever you go! It concentrates more on NPC interaction rather than the main character completing a specific quest. Still, the individual character stories are all intriguing and immersive, creating an RPG that is truly like no other while being a bonafide D.

Q game at the same time…. The touchscreen can be used for certain actions and comes into play for solving puzzles on some levels. Another cool feature is the fact that levels move with Spidey, tilting and turning to show new angles as he runs and swings along.

Camera angles also alter on occasion to give first person views while battling all of the best bad-guys from the film. Rayman DS is another launch title that drew people into buying the DS in the early days. Ever played Rayman 2: The Great Escape? Well, Rayman DS is a direct port of the N64 version of that very game, albeit with updated sprites and touch-screen controls.

Like Mega Man, Rayman is a bit of a hero and a name that appears on many consoles. This game appeared on the PS2, Dreamcast, Windows, and a host of other devices. But, while the Dreamcast version boasts mini games to play through, the DS version poses a simplified adventure with fewer bells and whistles. This game has few different names depending on your region , though the gameplay is exactly the same.

It uses the DS held in the vertical position ala Brain Training and requires players to get into the groove. Gameplay revolves around using the stylus, tapping, flicking, and sliding along the touchscreen panel to control players in WarioWare-style mini games. Well, in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, gamers solve a series of puzzles of increasing difficulty in order to uncover a mystery. Collect Puzzle coins to receive hints on different problems or save them up for really tough mind-ticklers.

Have a go and find out! Super Scribblenauts is one of those games where literally anything is possible. I had never played a game like this before and was amazed at the possibilities of the weird stuff I could come up with. This title is the sequel to the hugely popular Scribblenauts, expanding on the exciting game mechanic introduced in the first game.

The aim of the game is to solve puzzles by typing in any object you can think of. A mini tractor, a super-fast dinosaur, a ginormous hammer; the possibilities are endless, and the game becomes more fun the more creative you get. I loved Scribblenauts so much I grabbed it for the iPhone too! With Sudoku puzzles, Stroop puzzles, and mathematical problems to solve, Brain Training provided a fun and addictive way to learn.

Instead of holding the DS in the usual fashion, users turned it sideways as though holding a book. Questions appeared on the left hand side, and answers could be written in using the touchscreen on the right. There are multiple training exercises that can be completed as much or as little as you like, but the daily brain age test is the bit that keeps gamers continuously striving to improve. Draw pictures from memory, recall things you did a month ago, and complete fun puzzles.

Over million people bought this game, so it certainly deserves a place in our list! The Celestial Brush from the original title returns once more, as does the need to bring life back to a colour-parched world. Now, some of you might be thinking that the picture above looks a little Zelda-like, what with the cell-shaded graphics and the Midna-Wolf vibe going on. The Zelda series played a big role in influencing the developers of both the original game and the DS sequel, which can only ever be a good thing!

Gamers can click the shoulder buttons to access the Celestial Brush, a mystical brush used to alter the world. By selecting this item, the main screen shifts to the bottom touchscreen, allowing players to get creative. Like Procreate on the iPad, bold movements with the stylus create bold strokes, while light movements make delicate lines. Enemies can also be killed using brush strokes. Chibiterasu can also team up with human partners to access otherwise unreachable areas and attack foes.

Next up on our list of the best Nintendo DS games is a character that everyone should know very well. Kirby Mass Attack is a fast-paced, colourful adventure that fans of Pikmin or Lemmings will love from start to finish. Rather than moving your Kirbys around using the D-Pad, the player uses the DS stylus to direct the pink army through each level. Multiple Kirbys are required to complete some tasks, while some levels can only be tackled with three or more Kirbys in your team. Collect fruit to grow your team, and keep an eye on their colour as they lose health and slowly drift away!

I love Wario games, and this next entry on our list of the best Nintendo DS games is one of my favourites in the series! Not content with stealing from people in the real world, Wazza has made a helmet that allows him to infiltrate a TV Programme.

He steals a magical wand that allows the user to use multiple disguises… and then steals loads of stuff. The main characters you meet are called Cannoli, Carpaccia, and Tiramisu, for crying out loud! As the second sequel to the critically acclaimed Advance Wars , one of our best Gameboy Advance games of all time, this title was always destined for greatness. Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a turn-based military strategy game between battling armies.

Think Strategeo or Risk, but just on the DS instead. Set in Omega land, players control the Allied Nations who must fight the forces of Black Hole in a bid to stop them from draining energy from the land. Using land, sea, and aerial assaults, gamers must capture the enemies HQ or defeat all of their troops in each battle to proceed.

While simple in set-up, this is a brain-teasing puzzle that will leave you itching for more. War has never looked so bright and colourful! The game is set in Shibuya, one of the most famous shopping districts in Tokyo and takes great influence from the youth culture of the area.

The title has hints of The Hunger Games and The Running Man about it, in which chosen souls are transcended to another realm and must compete to make it back to the real world. There you go; you can impress your mates with that one! Everything from the setting to the graphics inspired gamers and critics alike. You can even watch the Anime series or read the Manga comics based on the game once you complete it!

Players control a ghost that must possess nearby objects to solve a crime. He can travel back in time before a murder in order to prevent it from happening…. The premise of this game is incredible. As players move through the levels, they must save NPCs while also trying to find out how they died. Chrono Trigger is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best RPG games ever made. It might get overshadowed somewhat by Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy titles, but Square and their all-star developer cast have ensured its place in gaming history, giving it the tools to hold its own against the big players.

Chrono Trigger utilised the talents of the creator of the Final Fantasy series, the Dragon Quest series, and a famous Manga artist best known for his creations on a certain programmed named DragonBall-Z. The plot is as epic and long-winded as you might have guessed from having these three legendary creators on board, and Chrono Trigger has won countless awards for both the best game and the best RPG ever made. If RPG battles, item collecting, immersive quests, and multiple endings float your boat, then grab a copy for your DS and get gaming!

The DS certainly had a lot of brain-tickling puzzlers, and the next entry in our list of the best Nintendo DS games formed part of the best series on the console. Fusing the gameplay of Carmen Sandiego and MYST with tricky brain teasers and a thrilling storyline, the Unwound Tower provides fun for gamers of any ability. The games are a mixture of full motion video and still images, like the picture above.

Using the DS stylus, players can click on characters to garner clues or take part in puzzles. They can also tap objects to see if there are any hint coins hidden inside. If you can remember Marth appearing on Super Smash Bros. Set in Archanea, Shadow Dragon tells the tale of Prince Marth and his exile at the hands of en evil wizard and a devious dragon. A quick note on patience You've probably heard some advice from players and websites that the game requires heavy doses of patience, but what does that really mean?

If you go into a fight or a new area realizing that there is inevitably an enemy waiting around the corner who can kill you within seconds, you'll live much longer and save time scrambling to recover your lost souls and humanity. Even at high levels, if you underestimate the weaker enemies, they'll often find a way to make you regret it.

Take your time and properly execute every fight even if you've already been through this area dozens of times. Observation : What is the boss's move sets? Which animations trigger which attacks? How long does it take the boss to complete every action? When is the boss vulnerable? For how much time is the boss vulnerable after an attack? Strategy: Strategy can be broken up into two separate categories How do I keep myself alive?

Which attacks can be parried, blocked, countered? Which cannot? How much damage does each attack do? When is there a moment of respite to heal? Once you've figured out how not to die How do I kill the boss?

When is the best time to strike? Where must I be positioned to hit the boss? What weapon is best used for this fight? Do I need any ranged weapons magic, arrows, firebombs? Execution : Practice, practice, practice. Even if you look up a boss fight online it is highly unlikely that you can pull it off on your first try at least for most bosses.

The strategies and hints that someone else told you came from their own observations and strategizing, so try to fine-tune their methods to suit your needs. Because of the variety of play styles available within the game, bosses can similarly be beaten in a variety of different ways. Also important to consider is that a majority of the bosses can be beaten without losing any health.

If you take the time to first figure out the best, most conservative means of winning a fight, it'll save you hours of trial and error. NEVER make a decision impulsively. Unlike some RPGs, there is no way to save the game, attempt a decision, reload the save and try again if you're unsatisfied.

Every decision is final and has a consequence. Try focusing on planning long-term, because the game does get progressively harder as difficult as that is to imagine. Some basic advice for easy progression Start the game as a Pyromancer! Get to level your stats how you want because of the low starting level Pyromancy is extremely helpful throughout the game and doesn't require any stats to be spent on it so you can still end up however you want.

Start with the Master Key! All other items you will be able to get in game. Some parts of the game are a lot nicer with this key. If this is the case the next best option would be starting with Twin Humanities as they have a variety of uses in game, for example if you're inexperianced in gaming you could use them to kindle the bonfire at Firelink Shine so you can have a much greater number of estus flask s avalible from the start, or if you're a pyromancer you could use it to save up for the Chaos Storm spell from the Daughter of Chaos.

Also note that if you plan on keeping the Sunlight Maggot Helm you will need to start with the Old Witch's Ring to talk to the Daughter of Chaos, and if plan on joining the Blade of the Dark Moon covenant and obtain the Darkmoon Blade and Darkmoon Talisman you may wish to start with a Pendant so you can swap it for a Souvenir of Reprisal and offer it to Gwyndolin.

Spend most of your souls on leveling your pyromancy flame. You can do this by freeing the pyromancer trainer who is trapped in a barrel in the depths. Once freed he will be at the firelink shrine. Talk to him and modify equipment. At higher levels the pyromancy flame can deal out large amounts of damage. Buy Iron Flesh from him. This is great for bosses. Get the drake sword as early as possible! Obtain this by shooting off the red dragons tail with arrows.

Buy about standard arrows from the merchant as soon as possible. You never know when you will need them. At some point in the game you will free a Knight Lautrec wearing gold armor.
