Nintendo DS thread

[Lucidius]

Havn't seen one, but this thread is to post your favorite DS/GBA games, a brief description, provide media, a name, it's genre, and the strong/weakpoints of the game. Also why you enjoyed it.

I'll start.


The World Ends With You

Description:

I just can't describe this game...You use pins to execute a different variety of attacks. Each attack type is based on a stylus move. Tap a spot to shoot in that direction, Press and hold a spot to use a kameha-esque beam, slash enemies to melee, click and drag yourself to move, etc. You also have to use the D-pad to control your partner on the top screen and execute combos. Each combo ends in a random symbol, and matches of specific symbols will increase the 'sync' between you and your partner. When sync is high enough, you can execute a special KILL EVERYTHING attack, which is generally awesome. Your characters have base stats aswell.

All in all it's an RPG with a unique combat system, and a system based around pop culture and shit Different brands of clothing and pins will receive bonuses (positive or negative) depending on the area your in, and fighting in one area consistantly will influence the 'in' brands. Brands are also geared towards different character builds.

Also, one of the game's main themes is music, which also goes with the whole pop culture feel. It's got a kicking OST of J-pop, Rap, techno etc. I personally enjoyed the story, found it compelling and the characters all have very differing personalities. I felt attached to the game and it's characters throughout most of it (sept the main char for the most part).
