Good DS games that use only/mostly the touchscreen?
- Jul 25, 2012 5:01 pm GMT
Ok, so, here's the situation: a friend of mine gave me his old DS (he bought a DSi XL), but the ABXY buttons are in really bad shape and don't work really well (and I don't have the money right now to buy a new one), so I'm trying to buy some good games that can be played by only/mostly using the touchscreen. I bought Phantom Hourglass (and I loved it) for example, and it works great. Pokemon Platinum on the other hand, not so well
I already bought Spirit Tracks, by the way.
Any recommendation is appreciated

Kirby: Canvas Curse is a platformer that uses mostly the touch screen and is a great game, highly recommended.
If you like rhythm games Elite Beat Agents might be one to go far. It's inexpensive, like $5, but it can be tough.
But it you're looking for an rpg, look no further than The World Ends With You. It has a battle system that utilizes the touch screen, though the battle system has a steep learning curve. One of the best rpgs on the DS if you're willing to learn the battle system.
And for a puzzle game, how about Picross or Picross 3D. Great games by Nintendo, I prefer Picross 3D(not for the 3DS in case there's any confusion). If you like puzzle games these are must-haves.
Hope this helps.

Give Knights in the Nightmare a shot. If I recal correctly the game is entirely touch screen based.
