So, this is a list of worthwhile DS games, picked by their established and well-known quality, closeness to a series most probably already enjoy, or in some cases just something that experiments with concepts unique and interesting enough to be forgiven for much of their flaws.

Give me time and I will probably provide a link to both a Wikipedia and Gametrailers page for all of the aforementioned games so that you may reference information on the various games' plot, content, and gameplay to see if they are something you would like to play.

Suggestions of games welcome, as well as if you feel a game should be in a different category, or a better way to organize the list in general.

I seriously fail to see how a flashcart is expensive when it means you save physical space and money on every single DS game you get from then on...
