Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Best graphics on the original DS

Thuglas on 20 July 2016

DS graphics were terrible (even for a handheld for the time)


I liked Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia visuals. It's my favorite DS game also

I didn't play Okamiden but I imagine Okami style could look decent on DS

In terms of actual polycount and pushing the system? Definitely Metroid Prime Hunters and Mario 64.

Metroid Prime Hunters, Dementium The Ward, Dementium II, Phantasy Star Zero, Tales of Innocence, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, Solatorobo Red The Hunter, C.O.P The Recruit, a lot of DS games look better and beyond the N64, almost like early Dreamcast graphics

Forgot about these ones. Seriously impressive stuff considering the hardware.

Ghost Trick. The character animations are amazing--very reminiscent of Another World/Out of This World. I'm suprised no one else has mentioned it.

DS is what made me become Nintendo fan, any RPG, action and shooter games always receive at least a bit research from me

Of the games I played personally the best graphics were -
1. GTA Chinatown Wars
2. Trackmania DS
3. Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass
4. Tiger Woods PGA Tour

I'd say Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, which looked even better on the actual DS

and then maybe Zelda Phantom Hourglass
