Did you think personally that the DS had a good library of games?

Looking back on it, I really don't think so. I mean, sure some games were fun. A lot were fun to play online. But there aren't too many good games to play. On the DS. Well that's my thought at least, what is your'se?

In my opinion it does have a better library than the GameBoy Advance. I did really enjoyed playing a lot of DS games.

They have a BIG library, but only a very small number of those are games worth keeping. Most memorable for me is The World Ends With You; such a fun, modern and innovative game that was.

my perspective is from never owning a DS.

i checked wikipedia for a list of all DS games that look good and i made a list of games to buy. i did the same for gameboy, gameboy color and gameboy advance...these were my results.
DS: 45 games
GBA: 68
GBC: 29
GB: 30

im not saying i will keep all those games...but i will buy them and check.

according to my list GBA had a bigger library... im not saying it had a better library because i still haven't played all the games.

Though you could say that about any console.

The DS' library pretty much nailed everything, being the only place one can go to for games that are both funny and tragic at the same time.

I have lots of fun with my current games and I still want to get more. I can say at least the DS paved the way to new ways of gaming and that's what made it interesting.

I have 94 physical games in my DS collection, and I have to say when I look over them I'm very happy at the bredth of the game selection. I'd give it an A- to B+. This doesn't include the DSi downaloads which i'd give a C.

I think the DS had a really good game library. My favorite DS game is still Advance Wars: Dual Strike, but that is a hard game series to beat.

The first few years the ds was out i wasnt all that interested in the library of games but now its been out for so long i think there are plenty of quality games to choose from. I still have a huge amount to collect before i get the 3DS.

No, it doesn't have a good library of games. It has an amazing library of games. That's all I have to say about that.

Not really. I mean, they had their bursts of awesome games like, twice a year. But then it kinda died off. Like the Playstation 2 & Gamecube. In my opinion, they had way too many Baby/Children's games for the DS :l

SO many good games, and I actually liked the DS more than the Advance. Now I have to go back to my hmmm fifth (maybe?) playthrough of Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor. Then maybe I'll put that final hour on my 399 hour playtime in Pokemon White.

Eh. You can't really look at the library as a whole, every system has their share of crap.

I doubt that because you had the PSP which many T to M rated games. The DS actually has a buttload of games rating E (over 1200) and a bunch of 'early childhood' games.

oh wow this debate in a 3ds/ds forum get to system wars now! but since you asked for it ,, all systems have more e and t rated material then m , and since when did rating define a good game if that did define the library as being good then i guess the best we had was n64 back then because it has more shooting games and most of these games were actually good in comparision to the many we see today rated m so your logic is that we have to have a truckload of fpses on our consoles to have fun games lol

I could care less for fps, and even though I agree with what you're saying; what I was trying to say is simply that Nitendo consoles on a whole, has more games for kids. That is one of the reasons why I'm just getting around to owning a 3DS, the library has yet to pique my interest. Every other console has alot more M rated games than the DS.

well if you're the kind of person who judges quality based on ESRB rating, then i have nothing further to add.

I'd go as far as to say that, considering the best games it has to offer, it has a better library than any of the current gen consoles. The online support might be rubbish, but then unless i'm playing against people I know in real life, I don't much care for online.

LOL @ you jumping the gun. I'm using the ESRB rating to show difference between the number of games with that rating and not using it to judge the game.

then you should know that just because it has a whole lot of E rated games doesn't mean the library is worse. you clearly stated the PSP has a better library because it has more games rated T and M.

lawl. I just re-read my previous comments. You misunderstood my point. I was simply pointing out the fact that DS had more kiddies game than most consoles. I also rarely play E rated games though so it seems my opinions on this matter could be biased. Anyway, whatevz.
