20 Best Nintendo DS Games Of All Time

16. Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Advance Wars is one of the most underappreciated franchises Nintendo has ever published. It seems to be something that most Nintendo fans are at least vaguely aware of but most of them haven't even thought of playing a game in the series.

Luckily for anyone who wants to get into the franchise, everybody owns a DS and one of the best Advance Wars games exists on the system, Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Wait... never mind, like most DS games it's ridiculously expensive. You should probably just wait for Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp for Switch, that’ll probably be alright.

Anyway, Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a great entry in the series even if you'd have to sell your kidney to afford to play it.

The game puts you in control of Jake and Rachel of the Orange Star Army as you fight against the Black Hole Army. It’s a turn-based strategy game where you must navigate a map killing the troops of the enemy army, and it’s a lot of fun.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike and the wider Advance Wars series definitely isn't for everybody but if you like strategy games you'll most likely love it.
