y’know what was a good console? the DS

i was originally gonna write a long post about why this is my favourite console despite (and because of) its foibles, but instead i'm just gonna be standard here and say: good damn console.

neat gimmicky experiments and solid games mixing and mingling together to form a weird era of game design that carried over the spirit of the GBA by combining 4th-7th gen game design aspects into a melange that can only be described as "nintendo ds :)"

The DS was the best. There are heaps of great ds games. I think I spent hundreds of hours playing the ds and I'm sad that I can't play it anymore because the screens are too small for me now.

Among the best games are chrono trigger, ace attorney trilogy, professor layton, and dragon quest 4. Also a couple worth mentioning even though I didn't finish them: Radiant Historia and Soma Bringer. But there are so many more great games.

It's a game where you manage a clothing boutique, coordinating outfits for the customers based on their style requests. In the original, you hold the DS sideways so you can see the characters' full bodies, and it turns out like a little fashion magazine! The three sequels were normal 3ds titles. the upcoming game Fashion Dreamer for the switch is a sort of spiritual successor

ooooooh, I gotta tell my sister about that one! she has a bit of a nostalgia thing for fashion games that came out when we were kids with interesting functional gimmicks, though she doesn't get to hear about as many of them as she'd like to. might try to get it on my hacked 3ds and bring that to her place idk, have a day with her and her family and show her a game.

Radiant Historia is the DS game that jumps to my mind first. An excellent RPG, with great writing and a rather fun battle system. Always feel like it deserves more love, even though it got rereleased on the 3DS. Hell, it could stand to be released on more platforms. If you ever wanted an RPG where the MC has multiple brain cells and uses them, it's a great a pick.
