The Top 10 Game Series We Want On The DSi Download Service

TwilightPrince | October 14, 2008 | Top List | Wii DS Company Gaming Tech/Hardware

There is a very strong possibility of Nintendo creating a portable Virtual Console on the newly announced Nintendo DSi. If this does happen, there is a huge catalog of untapped games for Nintendo to choose from. Here are the top ten classic game series that should come to the DSi Download Service.

Castlevania series
Console: GB, GBA
Notables: Aria of Sorrow, Circle of the Moon

Castlevania, the medieval action-adventure series by Konami, has produced multiple top of the line games. The PS1 installment, Symphony of the Night, is considered to be one of the greatest games of all time. Konami tried to re-create this success with multiple handheld releases, but none of them came close until they released Aria of Sorrow. The 2003 GBA hit incorporated many of the same platforming and RPG elements from Symphony of the Night, however it also introduced several new features to the series, such as the futuristic storyline and the "Tactical Soul" system, where you absorb the souls of enemies in order to gain special abilities. Any of the handheld Castlevania games would make fine additions to the DSi download service, especially Aria of Sorrow.

Add Klonoa and the bit Generations series to the list, and it'll be perfect.

Is luvzoring list.

I like Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and I should try out Metal Gear Solid.

They need a Pokemon added to the list, as I can still play the original, but not the new.

Mother 3 is not a series it is a singular game in the series itself. That entire block on Mother just sounded bad /was worded poorly..

  Yes, thats probably the reason why every title says the word "series" after it, except Mother 3, Tetris, and Metal Gear Solid, which are all single games. And also why it says "N/A" in the "Notables" catagory.

    If the article is titled 'The Top 10 Game Series' it should be about the series not a single game in the series

      Sure it is. How dare they consider Mother 3 as a series and not even mention Mother 2 as the most notable game. It's blasphemy. Now hush you, you mother blasphemer!

      Maybe because Mother 2 was on the SNES, and the list is only for portables?

Am I the only one that wants Pokemon Gold or Silver instead of Red and Blue?

  _{I want red, blue, yellow, gold silver and Crystal tbh. Doubt all 6 would happen.
  
  Either way pretty good list.}

  I feel it's questionable that Nintendo will bring those back, only because they offer no connectivity to any of the more recent Pokemon games. If the GBA part of the download service comes true, I can see them putting any of the GBA Pokemon games up there.

Obviously Circle of the Moon would be there.

Loved the game and I really want to play it again.

Pretty good list. I would love to have Red, Yellow and Blue be downloaded since I haven't played them in like forever. And Super Mario Land would be nice to have as well.

I also want them to make Super Mario RPG converted into DSi Form.

The reason I needed a new DS was because my Lite's bottom screen broke, so I had planned to use the Top Screen for GBA games, but now the top screen is broken. MAYBE, if they make GBA games, I'll get a DSi for the GBA games too.

  A portable Super Mario RPG would be so sick.
