Did you know that Nintendo’s teeny tiny little dual screened handheld is a treasure trove of RPG goodness? It is! Often times, around the virtual water cooler, I’ll notice that many gamers shun the DS because of its casual nature towards video games. Brain Age this, Meteos that, and even a learn to speak French game. Sounds like fun! But what about the RPG gamer?

Of course, there is no such thing as a good video game system unless it has a good deal of RPGs and of that the DS has. For your convenience we have decided to catalog, by rating, nearly every DS RPG available today (top to bottom):

1. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - 86/100
2. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 85/100
3. Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings - 81/100
4. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates - 78/100
5. Final Fantasy III - 77/100
6. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - 75/100
7. Etrian Odyssey - 75/100
8. Contact - 73/100
9. Digimon World DS - 71/100
10. Luminous Arc - 70/100

24. Lost in Blue 2 - 58/100

26. Hoshigami Remix: Ruining Blue Earth - 55/100

Whew! That’s quite a list! There ya go, twnety six RPGs available for your DS. Some of them are great, some of them are… blah. All of them, however, have at least some semblance of RPG goodness contained within. Also worth noting, there are a lot of RPGs that are coming out within the next couple of months (like the pictured one above). Those are not included in this list. Every RPG included here is available for purchase today…

Enjoy!
