NSMB. Zelda was too easy. But Mario just brought back the amazingness of the classics and more.

New Super Mario Bros. The controls in both Metroid and Zelda ruined them for me.

Out of those, New Super Mario Bros. though I thoroughly enjoyed Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time and am looking forward to getting the new one!

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass!!! I loved it so much.

Next would be Mario, then Metriod Prime: Hunters.

Sadly I just couldn't get into Phantom Hourglass, New Super Mario Bros. on the other hand is one of my favorite Mario games ever and I wasn't a fan of Mp:Hunters, they should've made a 2D metroid game.

Phantom Hourglass. New Super Mario Bros was too short and very easy while Metroid Prime Hunters is far from what you would expect from a Metroid game.

Zelda had great controls and great bosses. It was just too easy compared to previous games in the series. The same applies to New Super Mario Bros too. However, they're still great fun. I voted for New Super Mario Bros because I love 2D platformers.

I was pretty disapointed with Metroid Prime Hunters to be honest. I can't bring myself to finish the reptitive single player campaign and the multiplayer just doesn't do it for me either.

Zelda for sure. NSMB was disappointing. I've played a lot of SMB 1-3 and Super Mario World and NSMB just didn't bring anything new that captured my interest. It felt like more of the same with a couple new power ups.

NSMB, although none of them are even top-tier for me. Best DS games for me are Pokemon D/P, Fire Emblem Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Kirby: Super Star Ultra, FFTA2, Elite Beat Agents, Ouendan, Ace Attorney series, Tetris DS, and Warioware: Touched!

I liked Mario the best. Zelda would have been better if it were more like the snes version. Metroid prime... I hated the controls, and it should have been 2d for the ds.

I hate 2D Zelda (tell me what you want about the graphics, the gameplay is based on 2D Zelda), and Metroid Prime Hunters wasn't that great...

New Super Mario Bros for me.

Out of those, Zelda.

TBH though, all of Nintendo's entries on the DS have been rather mediocre compared to the other entires in the series. MP:H is the worst Metroid game out there. NSMB was alright, but the lack of a free save function really hurt the game (it's a handheld game Nintendo) and overall nothing about it felt new. Another 3D mario would have been much better. Zelda:PH was also alright, but is the weakest game in the series after Zelda II.

Really, my major complaint is that all of Nintendo's franchise entries on the DS have either been 2D games, 3D ports (Mario 64), or shallow 3D games (MP:H, Starfox). At the very least they could port over some more of the N64's titles like OoT. I dare say that the NDS has the most woefully under-utilized hardware in gaming history.

yeah i agree metroid prime hunters single player was non metroid related.there were no metroids. no nonweaponry related power ups ecxept for the energy tanks.that was a shame but online and multiplayer modes are fun as hell.for those of you who said the controls were bad maybe you didn't notice the options to switch the controls.

I believe that was the point. If you could imagine a direct sequel to Super Mario Bros. created present-day, that would be what you got. The main Mario series is where you should look for things that are "new."

I love Zelda: Phantom Hourglass too, and I have a question for you. I need to get the Salvage Arm to continue through the game but he won't sell it to me. I've been screeming and screeming into the mic but he keeps saying he can't hear anything and won't sell me it. I'm really desperate and very aggrivated, I even tried using a megaphone to yell into the microphone but it still didn't help. If you have any suggestions I would be so appreciative, cause I'm litterally at my ropes end and I don't have any clue what to do and I need that Salvage Arm to get any further in the game. I know my mic is working proberly cause I've used it a few times in the game all ready. If you could please help me out, I wouldn't be able to thank you enough. My E-mail address is: ( bvince77@yahoo.com )
