Well /v/?

>>715857625 (OP)
why is donkey kong bananza so low-res?

Down obviously. Everyone knows top is outdated and clunky, snoy.

>>715857625 (OP)
Great games on both side, but Xenoblade X's the one I put the most hours in and am most likely to replay, so I'll go bottom

>>715857625 (OP)
You could take the first 4 games from the top alone and it would still win, adding the rest is just overkill

Metroid Dread, SMT 5V and of course XBX are the only good games on the bottom. But SMT5V is worse than Devil Survivor, Strange Journey and Chrono Trigger and TWEWY so its still no contest

>>715857625 (OP)
Top.
Nintendo no longer having a dedicated handheld system is now starting to have visible and clear effects on their game lineup as a whole. Without a low-cost experimenting ground to try higher-risk innovative games, and without truly innovative hardware, gaming can only stagnate. Flagship console games inevitably suffer from this missing pillar of the gaming market. We saw early glimpses of this in late 6th/early 7th gen with the true death of arcade games, but now it really is fucking over.

>>715857625 (OP)
I look at these libraries and realize nintendo consoles are full of low quality shit.

>>715857625 (OP)
We need to start having discussions on if the DS was the best console ever

>>715857717

>>715857929
>not a single real game in the top row
>best console ever
God I hope not

>>715858190

>tfw no modern 2D igavania Castlevania game
At least I liked Bloodstained I guess, though Order of Eclessia was still better imo.

>>715857625 (OP)
>Loading the top option with kino (including stuff that wasn't even original to the console, e.g. CT) and the bottom with mediocrity
Very unbiased, love it.

Neither.

>>715857625 (OP)
only games I fuck with on top are the Castlevanias so bottom it is

>>715858794
it's a fair comparison. those are the big, popular titles from each console except for some of the weird rpg titles on ds. the fact that ds is nerfed so hard with weeb shit and is still better is more of a comment on what we have today than anything

>>715859315
Right but using a fucking SNES port is still disengenous, come the fuck on.

>>715857683
Developer incompetence.

>>715859538
breath of the wild and xenoblade are wii u ports, is that disingenuous? i don't think so. most of the switch's early library is direct ports from the wii u. having one port on the ds is fine.

>TWEWY
>999
>Ghost Trick

Top.

>>715859947
CT was multiple generations before the DS and was a recognized classic by the time of that port, BotW and XB are examples re-hedging bets after the WiiU flopped to death. In fact BotW was a simultaneous release, IIRC. So yes, they are different in that sense.

>>715857625 (OP)
Bottom. Ez.
Top is just visual novels / jrpgs.
Chrono Trigger is a SNES game btw.
Add Wonder to the bottom. It can replace basically anything there.
Why the fuck is Bananza there? It's Switch 2.

>>715857625 (OP)

>>715857625 (OP)
1

>>715859315
Said weebshit ARE the best games on the DS though

>>715857625 (OP)
If you take out the castlevania games and chrono trigger (not ds) then it's the bottom, the castlevania games just btof everything else in the list too hard

>>715863465
>castlevania games
What's so good about them? Anything innovative?
Why play casual multi-screen slop when you can just play SOTN?

>>715863765
>casual
They are all more difficult games than sotn THOUGH
Nothing innovative about them just damn good games

>>715863765
NTA but Portrait of Ruin offers a neat character duo system where you can switch between two characters or even have the other character summoned along with you to fight or just to use their special attacks.

Order of Ecclesia merges more linear level design like Classicvania with the metroidvania non linear levels, sort of acting like a spiritual succesor to Simon's quest. It's made harder than most other Igavanias and its combat is designed in a special way since all of your attacks use magic, including melee attacks, but you rapidly regenerate magic. This means you can use magic or projectiles more, but those use more magic than melee attacks and you're vulnerable and unable to attack when you're out of magic. You can also combine glyphs together to perform special attacks using heart points like in SoTN.

>Multi screen slop
Said multiscreen slop is just one of the screens acts as the map. Idk why you're calling it that.

>>715857625 (OP)
bump

>>715863969
Yeah, SOTN is pretty easy.
It's just that handheld games tend to be more casually designed. i.e. more frequent saves, less complex maps, toned down difficulty, etc.

>>715857625 (OP)
DS slop was fucking awful.

The DS library has honestly aged like milk.
I tried 14 promising games recently and only one of them was even worth finishing.
(This is after looking at numerous review sites, metacritic top 100, /v/ recommendations site, and even making a thread myself).

>>715857625 (OP)
DS had a good catalog but listing three pokemon games and three castlevania games does it a disservice

>>715857728
giving credit to either for ports is dumb, chrono trigger shouldn't be on the ds list and xenoblade x definition shouldn't be on the switch list

>>715857625 (OP)
>top or bottom
Top girls, bottom guys.

>>715857625 (OP)

>>715857625 (OP)
i would say top tbqh famalam

>>715857625 (OP)
Top.

>>715857625 (OP)
i mean half of these ds games are shit
>strange journey
stupid man's etrian odyssey
>devilsurvivor
shit
>3 pokemon game
lowbudget shit for pedofiles
>mario
come on, mario, rly

there wa okay games on ds but not these ones

>>715857625 (OP)
Bottom.

>>715868868
What are some good DS games that aren't JRPGs / story-heavy?

>>715857625 (OP)
I would pass on almost everything on the bottom so top
but i would only play 6 of the top anyways vs 1 of the bottom
