That game was called Dark Void. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted, unnoticed, into the annals of gaming history. Dark Void became a legendary "lost project" at Capcom. Now, nearly 20 years later, Dark Void is back! To commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled Dark Void Zero, on the Nintendo DSi system.
You play as Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth.

Solve puzzles that Link would have a hard time sorting out, search every nook and cranny, and marvel at the artistic graphics that look like a cross between Okami and Comix Zone. It also provides fans of the series with a new adventure that steps away from the original storyline. In Order of Ecclesia, the Belmont Clan have gone into hiding, and an order to monks are taking charge.
Players control a woman called Shanoa, one of the monks who boasts the best magical skill to thwart the undead minions sent forth by Dracula. The witch drops a magic paintbrush, which unfortunately becomes a little plastic pencil in our real-life human hands. Make tracks and paths for Kirby to roll along as he bounces through each stage…. Porting the game from the PS2 to a dual-screen handheld was always going to be tough.
So much so, in fact, that many fans were worried it would flop terribly. The reality is that this is a spectacular title that plays superbly, bringing all the charm of the original game with you wherever you go!
It concentrates more on NPC interaction rather than the main character completing a specific quest. Still, the individual character stories are all intriguing and immersive, creating an RPG that is truly like no other while being a bonafide D. Q game at the same time…. The touchscreen can be used for certain actions and comes into play for solving puzzles on some levels.

Camera angles also alter on occasion to give first person views while battling all of the best bad-guys from the film. Rayman DS is another launch title that drew people into buying the DS in the early days. Ever played Rayman 2: The Great Escape?
Well, Rayman DS is a direct port of the N64 version of that very game, albeit with updated sprites and touch-screen controls. Like Mega Man, Rayman is a bit of a hero and a name that appears on many consoles. This game appeared on the PS2, Dreamcast, Windows, and a host of other devices.
But, while the Dreamcast version boasts mini games to play through, the DS version poses a simplified adventure with fewer bells and whistles. This game has few different names depending on your region , though the gameplay is exactly the same. It uses the DS held in the vertical position ala Brain Training and requires players to get into the groove. Gameplay revolves around using the stylus, tapping, flicking, and sliding along the touchscreen panel to control players in WarioWare-style mini games.
Well, in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, gamers solve a series of puzzles of increasing difficulty in order to uncover a mystery.

This title is the sequel to the hugely popular Scribblenauts, expanding on the exciting game mechanic introduced in the first game. The aim of the game is to solve puzzles by typing in any object you can think of. A mini tractor, a super-fast dinosaur, a ginormous hammer; the possibilities are endless, and the game becomes more fun the more creative you get.
I loved Scribblenauts so much I grabbed it for the iPhone too! With Sudoku puzzles, Stroop puzzles, and mathematical problems to solve, Brain Training provided a fun and addictive way to learn. Instead of holding the DS in the usual fashion, users turned it sideways as though holding a book. Questions appeared on the left hand side, and answers could be written in using the touchscreen on the right. There are multiple training exercises that can be completed as much or as little as you like, but the daily brain age test is the bit that keeps gamers continuously striving to improve.
Draw pictures from memory, recall things you did a month ago, and complete fun puzzles. Over million people bought this game, so it certainly deserves a place in our list!
The Celestial Brush from the original title returns once more, as does the need to bring life back to a colour-parched world.
Now, some of you might be thinking that the picture above looks a little Zelda-like, what with the cell-shaded graphics and the Midna-Wolf vibe going on. The Zelda series played a big role in influencing the developers of both the original game and the DS sequel, which can only ever be a good thing!
Gamers can click the shoulder buttons to access the Celestial Brush, a mystical brush used to alter the world. By selecting this item, the main screen shifts to the bottom touchscreen, allowing players to get creative. Like Procreate on the iPad, bold movements with the stylus create bold strokes, while light movements make delicate lines.
Enemies can also be killed using brush strokes. Chibiterasu can also team up with human partners to access otherwise unreachable areas and attack foes. Next up on our list of the best Nintendo DS games is a character that everyone should know very well. Kirby Mass Attack is a fast-paced, colourful adventure that fans of Pikmin or Lemmings will love from start to finish. Rather than moving your Kirbys around using the D-Pad, the player uses the DS stylus to direct the pink army through each level.
Multiple Kirbys are required to complete some tasks, while some levels can only be tackled with three or more Kirbys in your team. Collect fruit to grow your team, and keep an eye on their colour as they lose health and slowly drift away!
