favorite un-popular games /accidental DS game discoveries?

Just curious, what are some of your favorite DS games that surprised you or you found great even though it wasn't a popular game.

For me, it was accidentally playing Tales of Desperaux. My son was playing and I picked it up to waste some time. Turns out that it's a really decent platformer. The visuals really good as well - everything is rendered in 3D. The game starts out easy, but later levels provide some decent challenge. It's 7.99 used at GS and really was a fun game.

How about you?

Honestly, I was surprised that Eragon for the DS was a fun game. Sure, the quests were repetitive but the sheer size of the world surprised me. I think I spend a good few days just running around and exploring.

Great list. I really wish Great Giana sisters would come out in the US, nostalgia!

I can't really think of an unpopular/underrated DS game I liked. Does Cooking Mama 3 count? I know a lot of people like the Cooking Mama games, but it also gets made fun of a lot. Cooking Mama 3 is probably the last game I thought I would enjoy.

I almost feel lame for finding it fun, oh well.

Someone already mentioned Digimon World Dawn and Dusk, but yea, those are great Digimon games. Way more challenging then Pokemon games for sure.

I just got one recently, Final Fantasy CC: Rings of Fate. Now, yes FF itself is popular but I've never heard of this one. I got it free with Gamestops buy 2 get 1 free deal. Not a bad little RP. I was really surprised.

I know a lot of people disliked it, but I am enjoying Glory of Heracles. I guess the supposed hype was unwarranted though. I got it for 9 bucks NEW, so I am not complaining.

Hmm... dunno...

I can tell you a couple of popular games I don't like though.

- Pokemon
- Dragon Quest

Unpopular? Hmmmmm.

Exit DS, Zubo (for the DS), Pipe Mania DS, Color Cross (for the DS), Arkanoid DS, the CSI games for the DS, Where's Waldo: The Fantastic Journey (for the DS).

Oh, and Big Bang Mini, Ford Racing 3, and Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck...all for the DS as well.
