The year was 1996, and a legend was born: Pokémon. As one of the most successful and lucrative video game media based franchise in the world, Pokémon has reached millions of people and have stretched over a couple generations. Currently there are over 600 Pokémon to capture, train, and master. Sixteen years later, after several books and manga, a long running anime series, an extensive card game, and nearly forty video games for both handheld and console systems, one wonders if the franchise will ever fall.

The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.
DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
