There was a nervousness from fans that Sony's arrival on the handheld market was the death knell to Nintendo's dominance in the same way it had been with the home console market nearly a decade earlier. The early reveal model Reggie pulled from his pocket looked undeniably clunky, especially up against the sleek elegance of Sony's PSP. The original prototype and even the initial 'Phat' version of the hardware certainly didn't look like much of a threat.
That was until it promptly slayed the Boy king and took his throne. It's strange to think back to a time when the Nintendo DS - that odd-looking folding system - was positioned as a 'third pillar' alongside GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Younger generations, though, are more likely to name the unlikely upstart that stole Game Boy's portable crown and permanently ousted that mighty brand name from Nintendo's lineup: Nintendo DS. Ask anybody over the age of 30 to name a handheld system and "Game Boy" will likely still be the first answer the name became synonymous with portable gaming just as home consoles were routinely referred to as "Nintendos" back in the day. One of the joys of Nintendo's Switch is how it marries the company's home console heritage with its equally prestigious handheld line. Feel free to rate your favourites and, perhaps, rejig the ranking below. From there, however, you're on your own.This ranked reader-voted list of the 50 best Nintendo DS games is governed by Nintendo Life User Ratings and can change depending on those scores. During the first half hour or so of Wild World, you're forced to work off a debt to Nook as a sort of tutorial of what kind of things you can do in your town. The game begins with you moving into an animal populated town where you are immediately hooked up with a starter home by local merchant/slum lord/raccoon, Tom Nook. If you've not played Animal Crossing before, it might strike you as a bit odd at first. There are a lot of new goodies added, too, but a few glaring omissions make me long for the console version. Animal Crossing: Wild World is, of course, the long awaited sequel to the original GameCube hit, and it keeps a lot of the features that made the first game such a relaxing experience. There are plenty of other chores and special events to keep you busy for a good, long time. It's not just the townsfolk that are demanding, either. You'll quickly become familiar with the personality quirks of your town's inhabitants, taking note of their relationships with each other and perhaps even becoming a bit down if they move out. It goes beyond being a mere simulation and becomes a full-fledged commitment. There are very few games that can hold my interest for more than a couple weeks, much less an entire year, but Animal Crossing practically forces you to keep playing.
