The time in which I had an original DS seems quite short, looking back at it. I had the original silver DS model, not a DS Lite or anything like that. Despite only owning the system for a few years, I still enjoyed a number of quality DS games, and of course I loved the GBA backwards compatibility. Partially because the DS was the first system I owned with a built-in backlight, but also because the ability to play GBA and DS games on the same handheld was awesome! I only owned the DS up until Pokémon Soul Silver and Heart Gold came out. Then I traded it to a friend for a copy of Dragon Age: Origins on the Xbox 360, and my days of playing DS games game to a halt for many years.

But now I’ve got a New Nintendo 2DS XL, and that DS backwards compatibility is giving me the chance to experience all sorts of DS games I missed out on the first time around! Here are my Top 10 DS Games I Want To Play!

The Nintendo GameCube is a console I held very dear to my heart throughout my childhood. I don’t remember when my family got one. It probably wasn’t at launch, but we did have the silver model which I think was only available early on in the GameCube’s life in North America. It also came bundled with the Game Boy Player, which I don’t think I ever used all that much really.

Lately, I’ve been pretty into Top 10 lists. There’s something satisfying to me about seeing a list someone has compiled of the Top 10 Somethings, it’s hard to describe better than that. But my personal attraction to Top 10 Lists lately is the why this article exists!
