The DS and 3DS are wonderful machines, who kickstarted a new era of Nintendo handheld dominance, bringing fireworks and whistles in the form of touchscreen, extensive game libraries and, of course, maps. A lot of maps.
What are your favourite games on the systems, and do you have some fond memories related to those games (or others)?
My earliest memories of the DS only started years after its release, and it includes being with my ex, who had a bunch of games that we played together. I got really attached to Super Mario 64 DS (that they despised, they preferred NSMB) which I to this day really like and consider to be underrated. They had Mario Kart DS, which I still think holds up to this day. After getting my own DS Lite, we played a lot of matches together with friends, and also strangers on anime conventions. But first and foremost, this was the time where I was properly introduced to Ace Attorney. We were supposed to play them together, but I was so captivated that I sometimes took their DS and snuck out at night to continue on my own. I made sure to not save, so that I was never found out.
My favourite games on the system are of course Ace Attorney, Mario Kart DS and also Tetris DS, my favourite version of Tetris shy of Tetris Effect.
In regards to the 3DS, I mostly remember it for sucking me back into Zelda, after being lukewarm on the franchise across the DS games and Skyward Sword. In the summer of 2014 and with the reveal of "Zelda U", I was shaken awake yet again, reminded of why this franchise was my favourite. I had saved up enough money at my first proper job to buy a pink version of the standard 3DS that I still own. I got A Link Between Worlds and Ocarina of Time 3D, as well as Zelda 1, and I binged them. It was wonderful, like finding my way back home again. Then, I got a call from my boss that said that there had been some kind of contractual misunderstanding, and that I was supposed to not work over the summer. We worked it out so that I would start work at a different place in the autumn, and that I had the summer free. Despite the confusion, I was happy about it, and spent the summer in Hyrule.
My favourite games on the 3DS are as follows:
1. Ocarina of Time 3D
2. A Link Between Worlds
3. Style Savvy: Trendsetters
4. Metroid: Samus Returns
5. Kirby: Triple Deluxe
