Pokemon Soul Silver & Pokemon Heart Gold

The Pokemon brand of Nintendo games has been around for around a decade now, and they are still going strong with Pokemon Soul Silver and Pokemon Heart Gold. These two amazing DSi games continue in true Pokemon style, requiring you to traverse a world filled with imaginative monsters and incompetent henchmen.

As with the previous Pokemon games Pokemon Soul Silver and Pokemon Heart Gold are two DSi games which share nearly everything in common, save a few of the most special of monsters.

When you start off playing one of these great Pokemon DSi games you will undoubtedly be aiming to get the best monsters to defeat your enemies. It will not however take very long for you to start following up on this DSi games famous catch phrase - Gotta Catch Them All.

Collecting all the worlds Pokemon is the ultimate goal of this DSi game, and it is not always easy, with some Pokemon only evolving under some really strange conditions in both Pokemon Soul Silver and Pokemon Heart Red!

I have to admit that the Pokemon series has probably got me more 'bang for my buck' than any other DSi game I have ever played, or DS game, come to think about it I first played Pokemon on my Original Gameboy.  The fact that the Pokemon series survived to become a DSi game gives real testament to both the replayability and the enjoyment factor of this amazing set of DSi games!

Getting used to the controls in this great DSi game takes minutes to learn, but much longer to perfect.  The key to beating this DSi game is to simply let your body flow to the beat.

There are few DSi games that can be compared to this great original DSi game. It has a simple play style, but is one of the few DSi games to occupy the ' play to the music' niche. 

Rhythm Heaven is one of those Nintendo DSi games which all DSi owners must own. While all the other DSi games have a lifespan of entertainment, Rhythm Heaven will give you unlimited DSi games entertainment!

Scribblenauts DSi Game

Scribblenauts is one of the most fun DSi games which you will find for both children and adults alike. In the DSi game Scribblenauts you have to work your way across several 2D levels by writing the names of various tools you could use to traverse obsticals, from ladders to a helicopter.


While you might begin to think a helicopter would be an ideal solution to the problem, it would also give you a real poor score.  To mix things up a little you should use a number of objects to find the most ingenious way to complete the level in this stunningly clever DSi game.  This is easily one of the best DSi games for it's truely original and unique. Scribblenauts provides fun and entertainment nicely packaged in one of the best Nintendo DSi Games of all time!

If you are looking for a challenging Children's DSi Game then Scribblenauts could be for you!

Scribblenauts is not just for children though, it is a challenging DSi game for adults as well, as you will constantly find yourself trying to beat your own score with more and more ingenious clever designs with more and more random objects in this brilliant DSi game!

Mario Kart DS - DSi Games

Mario Kart DS is easily one of the most fun DSi games you will ever find for solo play, or multiplayer DSi Games.  As with most of the Nintendo DSi Games based around Mario, you will find yourself encountering a wide range of characters which you can use to destroy, beat, and humiliate your friends.

Mario Kart has two main game modes, the first, racing, is pretty self explanatory. The second game mode in Mario Kart DS is however a royal rumble style shoot out, where you and your team battle too destroy your opponents!

I am more a fan of the racing mode in one of the best DSi games I have ever played.  It contains varying weapons and powerups which you can use to speed past your opponents, or knock them off the track!

Mario Kart is one of the most fun DSi games you can find for the DSi, but it also especially suits the Nintendo DSi XL, where the larger screen becomes extremely helpful.
Mario Kart DS is one of the best Nintendo DSi Games for any gamer looking for some simple racing fun.  For those looking for realistic racing DSi games however, the cartoon style and arcade handling on Mario Kart will probably not suit you to well.

Mario Kart is one of the few action DSi games which I would recommend as benefiting as a DSi XL game, where the larger DSi XL screen  helps a huge amount during races. 

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box brings a fantastically well made puzzle DSi Game to the Nintendo DSi. Following an intricate storyline with over 150 puzzles you will find yourself entertained for days as you work your way through the third Professor Layton DSi game.

One of the great things about Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is that it is one of the few DSi games to provide weekly updated content. Every single week you will find a new downloadable puzzle, helping to keep the game fresh and interesting.

The Professor Layton DSi games series brings together a great mix of challenging puzzles, while still providing a decent amount of hints when you start to get really stuck.

This is by far one of the best DSi games to focus on the puzzle genre which you can buy today, especially with it's mysterious story lines and intriguing conundrums!

The game allows great play for both adults and children alike with it's intuitive help system, which stops the puzzles becoming a huge annoyance when you simply cannot figure out the answer.

Pokemon Platinum DSi Game

Pokemon Platinum has long been one of my best DS Games, it has one of the strongest RPG followings in the world, and with it's satisfying yet addictive gameplay, it is easy to see why. First off, the Pokemon Platinum DS game is virtually identical to the Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond DS games in nearly every respect. This might leave you asking why this is one of the best DSi games in the world.

The first thing you will notice in Pokemon Platinum is quite simply the new level of interactivity, with a Pokemon worldwide service that allows you to battle Pokemon players the world over, or trade with a friend no matter where they are, simply by hooking your Nintendo DSi up to your wireless router.

One of the real gems of an update in Pokemon Platinum is the battle frontier, a weird world with some ingenious callenges to keep the game interesting, even when you have finished the main story of one of the top DSi games!

While Pokemon Platinum is almost identical to it's predecessors Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, it has had a few minor story tweaks and game extensions to keep things interesting for those of you have completed the previous DSi games.

While some people may be put off by this DSi games lack of story innovation, most Pokemon fans have invested in this upgrade to one of the most enjoyable Nintendo DSi game brands!

New Super Mario Bros

The Super Mario Games series has entertained gamers around the globe for over two decades, and the New Super Mario Bros DSi game is no exception to the most excellent of game quality trends. New Super Mario Bros DS is a high quality 2D platform DSi game which uses immersive pick up and play gameplay, along with addictive levels and fun cartoon graphics.

With these excellent, and increasingly rare qualities behind it, the New Super Mario Bros DSi game is unsurprisingly often voted the worlds best DSi game, and that is against stiff competition from other DSi games such as Pokemon and Zelda!

While the New Super Mario Bros DS is in my opinion one of the best DSi games ever made, others find that the lack of originality in terms of storyline (Rescue the kidnapped princess from the same bad guy time after time) is a bit of a letdowns, especially considering the rather complex story lines in other Nintedo DSi Games.

But let us get in to some of the more detailed aspects of one of the best DSi Games of all time. New Super Mario Bros brings new levels, techniques and abilities in to the world of Super Mario Bros, and with it comes a really fun multiplayer mode.  As with previous Mario games, New Super Mario Bros DS uses coins to keep the score, and completing levels in faster times is always worth the effort.

Old school Super Mario players will be pleased that the DSi game incantation of New Super Mario Bros holds true to the basic Super Mario Brothers spirit. Unlike a few other DSi games which have tried to push the box, New Super Mario Bros keeps to a 2D platform layout, with simple controls, simple scoring, and simple gameplay.  Despite this DSi games simplicity, do not be fooled in to thinking it is unskilled, or easy. New Super mario bros DS requires patience, determination, and skill if you want to succeed!
