It's A Wonderful World a.k.a The World Ends With You Phoenix Wright (Don't think this count since in Japan they were originally on the GBA) The Legendary Starfy Lunar Knights Jump! Ultimate Stars Haven't played enough of Black Sigil and Knights in the Nightmare to judge those :P Off-topic, did you see GS' score for Black Sigil? 6.5!

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"] Lunar Knights

You should probably know that Lunar Knights is actually Boktai 4 :P Elite Beat Agents.... and.... and..... Well, I can't really think of anything else. I have yet to play TWEWY (I have it, though!) and I won't count Phoenix Wright.

Nice picks.

Yeah, I seen the score and I kinda agree with some of the points GS made but I believed they totally ignored the fact that BS is a frustrating game because its a homage to classic traditional RPGs and because it isnt only a real time RPG, its a tactical RPG in an essence as well. If you dont use you magic wisely on certain enemies and spread your allies wisely opposed to clump them together for convenient targets to enemies then your gonna go through hell. If they wouldve realized these things then I believe BS wouldve got a 7-7.5. But w/e, Im loving the game so far!

Not really, there were plenty of classic SNES RPGs that didn't have such a high encounter rate and what not.

Lufia? 7th Saga? Dragon Quest IV and V? Final Fantasy VI? Breath of Fire I? Considerably close encounter rates.

Well, there aren't too many original IPs on the DS period (not many worth noting, at any rate).

But here's the complete list of original DSgames I have, in order of preference:

Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure
Robocalypse
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Elite Beat Agents
Moon
Lock's Quest

1.TWEWY(by far my fave ds game) 2. Professor Layton 3. Jump Ultimate Stars 4. Knights in the nightmare 5. Sands of destruction/7th dragon/the legendary starfy(3 way tie becasue i havent played any of these yet but they each look original in their own way and seem to add some sort of new gameplay mechanic to their genre) honorable mention is drawn to life cause i havent played it but everyone seems to like it. and if we are allowed to say games that arent out yet then scribblenauts wins by far its just so original and looks to play so well i cant wait to get this game

TWEWY Hotel Dusk: Room 215 On Hotel Dusk. I don't know why more more people mention this game. The story was great and finding the clues to get to the end was well thought out. It's actually one of my top DS games.

This is pretty much my list. I would add Phoenix Wright but that series started on GBA.

1: The World Ends With You. Hands down my favorite game--ever!

2: Elite Beat Agents. This game basically introduced me into music games. ^o^

3: Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Super awesome puzzle game with a fun story.

4: Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure. One of my favorite platformers of all time.

5: Knights in the Nightmare. Even though I just gotten, I'm addicted! :twisted:


There are loads of other awesome original IP's... Like Ninjatown, Meteos, Lock's Quest, Rune Factory, and Trace Memory. :shock:

1. The Dark Spire (LOVE)

2. Etrian Odyssey (MORE LOVE)

3. Rune Factory (This one has since moved to the Wii, but since it originated on the DS, I'm counting it in.)

4. Phoenix Wright (Originated on GBA, but NA didn't see it until the days of the DS, so this is also in.)

5. Shiren the Wanderer (Again, originated on the SNES, but NA didn't see it until the DS.)

A few close competitors would be Moon, Lock's Quest, Elite Beat Agents, and TWEWY.
