Add the Gameboy Color library, and this becomes a true statement.

No.

Not even the best library of Nintendo handhelds.

specifically the first two DS models that played GBA too

Such an enormous library

DS library sucked, and it could never play GB/GBC games.

DS library was fantastic, and it could play GBA games too. DS and GBA are two of the three best Nintendo libraries ever. Take off your nostalgia goggles.

I'm getting sick of this /vr/ contrarianism just for the sake of it. The DS has lots of great games - I would argue more than the GBA and even GBC exclusives.

>> No.4923673 [DELETED] 

>>4923665
ehhhh not so much the GBA. It only had like 40 legitimately great games. The rest makes it the king of Nintendo's shovelware heap.

What am I missing? The library was hot garbage. Incredibly underwhelming console. The 3DS library was superior in every way.

Nintendo home console's libraries kinda sucked after the fourth gen.

They do.

Most of the best GBA games are ports

That and I really cannot emphasize enough just how much crappy licensed shovelware the GBA has. At least as far as portables go, it is absolutely number one in that department.

>> No.4924364 [DELETED]

It had a lot of good shit, you don't sell over a hundred million systems without some great software to pull people in.

>>4923591
The Color was tits; cool new games, and compatible with all the old ones.

>>4923665
I like the GBA a lot, though I'm inclined to say the DS library could have been a bit better.

>> No.4924371 [DELETED] 

>>4923726
I didn't even know there was an Arkanoid on the DS, gotta check that out.

Also I should really play through Chrono Trigger on the DS sometime, I love the animu cutscenes, very well animated.

>> No.4924380 [DELETED] 

>>4923848
It kind of became a portable 4th gen machine, true, but that's an aspect I quite liked.
Fitting games like A Link To The Past in a portable package blew my mind back then, and it remains my favorite way to play it.

GBA has one of the best libraries of 2D games, but this is the only retro forum that doesn't allow it.

Emulating? Absolutely. The library is solid as fuck. The actual hardware is pretty bad, though. Motion smearing makes some games unplayable.

People that haven't played Metal Gear Solid on the GBC are missing out. It showed how fucking good a game can be even on limited hardware.

Kids started discussing DS and Gameboy Advance games because "muh childhood," even though they're literally not retro by this board's definition, so the mods did their job.
Good on the mods for cleaning the place up.

DS was more "muh college years" I was just getting sick of blanket statements that it had a shitty library and no good games.
