10 Games on the DS That I'm Still Playing in 2023
90It's no secret that handheld gaming is one of my favorite things - whether it's from the OG Game Boy, the Wonder Swan Color, the NeoGeo Pocket, or even the Switch, there's just something special to me about a gaming system you can carry with you. But the number one family for me, by far, is the DS family of systems. And while I love the 3DS - it's my favorite console of all time - the original Nintendo DS and subsequent models - the DS Lite and DSi - can't be overlooked for how incredible their libraries are.
And lately, I've been spending a lot of time on my DS Lite and going back through my library of games and enjoying them all again. Today, I wanted to give you ten of my favorites that are still worth playing in 2023.
And - I should mention - everything here is captured on an emulator, as I don't have a capture card for my DS (and filming the screen of a DS just looks off to me). So if you see any mouse pointers or hear any audio stuttering or anything like that, there's why. Thanks!
