IGN Game of the Year: Nintendo DS

[RidleySmash]

And the winner is....

me:Castlevania Castlevania Castlevania

the world ends with you

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Emanny237]

@RidleySmash Yeah man I know that feeling I was going for Castlevania too. Order Of Eclessia was such an amazing game, but honestly everyone has there own opinion.

[ykid1195]

no mario kart???

[kongchho]

@ykid1195 no mariokart wasn't released in 2008. it says game of the year not best game of all time.

[ykid1195]

@kongchho o wait i didnt even look at the date lol

[Jnmicter]

these lists are turrible

[kongchho]

@Jnmicter why? I think it's a pretty good list of ds games for 2008. what other great ds game was released in 2008 and had great reviews and great fan feedback?

[ForsakenZOL]

Chrono Trigger is the Best DS Game

[sarahtiongjieyun]

n no harvest moon!!!!!!D=



[Lymee95]

I finally agree with one of these "best game of the year thing"

the world end with u is one of my fav games and i still love play it...the graphics look really nice and the overall anime style work

the gameplay is awesome and really simple..there is a huge learning curve to but watever..it was a gr8 game tho

[zivon456]

What about Dementium and Moon? :'(

[miles5501]

@zivon456 idk about the first one but theres no way dementium 2 could be tops of the year...

[miles5501]

altho dementium 2 has a great aiming system!!! :D

[louischido]

I actually think The world ends with you is the best game I've played for the DS, I was looking for a good RPG and I found it, and it is great I really hope they can make TWEWY for the 3ds with great 3D graphics and the same gameplay style :D

[Jowannabe]

Square enix > ALL

[DinoMiniMan]

TWEWY de best game eva!!!!!!!!

[AznHomie333]

Yay TWEWY <3 Best DS Game EVER!!!!

[KiraShiki]

GO TWEWY

[acmasta619]

TWEWY FTW every year

[Relabraize]

Yah go The World Ends With You!_! Love the game. Knew it would be on IGN the first time I played it.

[Zippollini]

I think 90% of them were Anime, and Pokemon and Mario werent even there.

[xxdarknessxd]

the world ends with you is still my favorite ds game of all time. In fact i would actually love if they remade it on the 3DS!

[nekuxshiki7]

@xxdarknessxd better if they made a sequel

[InfamousPistachio]

@xxdarknessxd That would be BAD ASS!!!! Well, even MORE bad ass!!!

[legofreak18]

the creator of the world ends with you said he would love to make a sequel,but has to many other titles to work on at the time

[STRxtreme]

the world ends with you is a deserving title but u missed out a hell lotta games

[MrDeezed]

professor layton anyone?

[NoRefundsXD]

@MrDeezed me

[rocknrollking75]

no final fantasy IV? thats bullshit

[DamondoXD]

you guys at ign havent got any taste in games.... i mean the games you put on this list are nearly all cheapy and cheapy games dont really work out 2 good i mean know not every1 can afford the latest games that are out but.. still

[YWOOOX]

hey peoples not saying nsmb or kirby or zelda are bad but there are games out there that are way better and the only reason that they didnt get much attention is because they're not first party nintendo gamesbut IGN ignored the ones that sells a billion copys and took the ones that are just great games, u won't realise how good FF4, world ends with u, or chrono trigger are until u step out of that circle of nintendo games...HALO REACH

[pielord640]

@YWOOOX halo reach can suck my left nut.

[albtwang]

@pielord640 just because u can afford it... plus its like u had nuts...that'll be the day u retarded noob

[pielord640]

@albtwang make a more inteligent comeback and mabey ill fight back...

[YWOOOX]

@pielord640 like u had a left nut

[02Duderock]

WHERE IN THE FUCK IS NSMB

[SupaSlowpoke]

LOL this was the most obvious result...

[xcherryc0ke]

The World Ends With You is definitely the best game up here. I loved it so much. It's the best DS game I've played this year, by far.

[Ema11220]

@xcherryc0ke you zuck

[HesterPrynneINFLAMES]

The best man won.

[156j]

video game fagots are out of control keep the wii cuz there are game u cant get without it trust me

[mikethedragonslayer]

actually the game that should have won is the world ends with you

[jb08045]

No Pokemon...!??? Fail.

[RasMidorI]

castlevania dawn of sorrow is better than castlevania order of eclesia

[MrRulesilol]

totally agree

[thersgonebad]

I'M Going to ask some statments

1 I've played all of this games and they fucking suck balls

2 What the hell happened to pokemon

and if there of been a winner make it GH cause thats the only good game they nominated

[MrFatChocobo]

@thersgonebad If you think the world end's with you sucks balls then you suck ball's.

[thersgonebad]

@MrFatChocobo no that game is good the others.....

[pielord640]

ign you are smoking some serious weed because i never heard of ANY of these games (besides guitar hero)

better yet i dont see pokemon no mario games no final fantasy no anything its like ign only finds rare games and brings them up...

ign= worst game rating system ever made

[OtakuNewsSource]

@pielord640 Maybe you should check out other games besides Pokemon and Mario... Also, Pokemon get tiring when all you basically have to do is "Catch Them All" over and over again...

[pielord640]

@OtakuNewsSource dude lame attempt of...a joke? lol im being serious about this Mario is the Nintendo ROLE MODEL if you dont understand that hen maybe you should check in with them... and Pokemon is one of the most popular games from all handheld consoles.. besides im not the only one here who doesn't know most of these games

[Kaiserfangirl]

@pielord640

On MOST rating sites, TWEWY got great reviews.

I absolutely adored TWEWY, the minor clips they show here don't do the game justice. It deserved this win in my eyes.

Just because a game isn't part of a huge franchise, doesn't mean it can't be AMAZING.

BTW, this is coming from a HUGE Pokemon fan.

[pielord640]

@Kaiserfangirl to both you and kilaatequillia83 i did not say shit about this "twewy" at all to the fact that the game u say is great i;d think it would get another game for it...if not alrdy.

[KillaTequilla83]

@pielord640 Have you played TWEWY yet? If you haven't give it a shot and tell me it wasn't at the very least worth the play through (and the second play through if you get there). Hell I'd lend you mine if I could. And fyi, money milker franchises like Mario and Pokemon won't ALWAYS come out wit the best game for that year.

[deidaraismine4evr]

Where is Pokemon? D:<

[xxMakennaxx]

The World Ends With You WAS a really good game...

[biosector07]

no pokemon

no new super mario bros

no chrono trigger

no final fantasy

no legend of zelda

no kirby

no sonic

D:

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@biosector07 i might be wrong but i thing the majority of those games on your list came out after 2008

[PAO13071]

@biosector07 twewy still kicks all of their arshes :3

[hungryhippo247]

@biosector07 IGN missed ALL the good games!! T_T *profound sadness*

[34bobbo]

@biosector07 at least they castlevania and ninja gaiden

[kongchho]

@biosector07 pokemon isn't really a 10 out of 10 type game plus this is for games released in 2008. which pokemon game was released for 2008 on the ds?

[DefoliantProjector]

not surprised. that game is fucking awesome.

[Roksiukas]

The world ends with psp, and starts with 3DS.

[MGamerkid]

why was"nt there a mario game there theres like 10 or more mario games and not one was there THIS IS FUCKING JACKED UP

[Pikman46]

@MGamerkid because this is for 2008. figure out the rest.

[MGamerkid]

@Pikman46 still there were ds mario games in 2008 when the ds first came out the first game i got was super mario 64 DS second game mario cart and that game sold millions so there u no know NOTHING!!!!!!!

[professionalpoliwag]

i think Ecclesia should have won

[UltimateUnknown]

Couldn't have made a better coice, agree 100%.

[BrianThq]

@GAMEREVIEWS365 Uhm no need to diss on some good video game



[StevnFoo3423]

replace guitar hero with chrono trigger, and id say the games are good

[AnthraxMegadeth]

What the... No Chrono Trigger? Don't get me wrong, TWEWY is my favorite DS game, but Chrono Trigger was AMAZING.

[allshitvids]

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THE FOOTAGE OF A DS GAME ON TO MOVIE MAKER OR A PROGRAM LIKE THAT IF YOU TELL ME A GOOD ANSWER I WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOU PLZ

[IRSPONGEBOB]

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did i really just see Guitar Hero on this list instead of Chrono Trigger, Advance Wars, Ace Attorney, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Metal Slug 7 or Final Fantasy 4?

[Sora1Kratos]

@IRSPONGEBOB Yup. At least FF4 and Chrono Trigger, come on!!

[Disablefunction]

what the hell no final fantasy 4?

[TheShadowpin]

it has all right to win because a game like this that is not copyed from the gba shows that the ds still gots it and if the made games like this the ds would be the best

[donGripo]

Love TWEWY, combat is pretty difficult though :P

[TheShadowpin]

@donGripo i cant do both so i but the top scereen on auto fast

[donGripo]

@TheShadowpin That almost feels like cheating so I practice and try to learn to handle both at once :)

[Skidonti]

TWEWY is still IMO the best original DS game, about 2 years later. Fantastic game, made all the better by the fact that I didn't know if I should expect good things from it at all.

It'd be sitting pretty as either my first or second favorite game of 2008 overall.

[fretboard11]

stunned that ff4 wasnt even a nominee

[TheShadowpin]

@fretboard11 that is because it is a copy form the gba game

[Marthuiop]

TWEWY is the most awesome game

[NoRefundsXD]

i say, whatever game is good for the ds the game is always good for me.

[IQ567891234]

well actually i want a psp instead of my ds there are too many crap games for the ds

[IRSPONGEBOB]

@IQ567891234 There are also too many good games for the DS.

[TheShadowpin]

@IQ567891234 if u gave them a try u would see that they r not crap

[APokemonproduction1]

@IQ567891234 There's even more crap on the PSP since all the hackers scared all the good dev's away since they'll get not profit, trust me, I have a PSP and not many good games are showing up anymore.

[DoubleAIV]

Im digging IT!

[GrummligerTroll]

Space Invaders Extreme is too.. short..

[kieranstory]

The World Ends With You DESERVED this win! Easily the best game I every played on DS !

[crackydoodlepizza]

what is the control style for TWEWY?

[tiffanyyan17]

yayyy TWEWY won! it was easily the best game there

[NoodleNoodler]

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword was AWESOME! it should have won...

[dannyator]

TWEWY beats many of the games I have on computer right now...

It's just so freakin' awesome!

[ortoni099]

The world ends with fucking you is the best game of the year not just of DS its awesome and epic it just cant be any better than it is

[skinyme]

hey nice vid bro i got a nice collection of roms on my youtube channel!! more in my facebook group theres a link in my vids check it out!!!

[pantoja535]

my freand is so gay

...

him and his stupid r4

[ZENABLBA]

TWEWY is still the best!

[jrfrkjujkjhgkjhgkyuj]

TWEWY is my altime favorite game!

[qwert25]

I had TWEWY but then i lost it. Now I really want to play it again lol

[SolidSnakewins]

TWEWY :O , I still think its one of the top DS games , even 2 years after it was released in the U.S

[KnightMD]

ninja gaiden shud ve won

[RRRadish]

The games other than TWEWY are carbage. CRUNCH! I'll add them to the heap.

[TheHellwars]

@RRRadish zetta moron (jk)

[rckpop9]

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GH ON TOUR!!!!

[JustB3NJI]

That gam had skipped my attention, ill have to check it out!

[irishtrash15]

i'd agree with your choice.

[1ghostguy]

the world ends with you has TONS OF QUESTS TO FINISH AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME...thats probably what made it win :)

[Krevedko]

even pokemon is much better than this twewy

[megaboomface]

dude what are you a 2 year old twewy is like god and pokemon is like my crap see how far away it is from even just getting on twewy's level

[Krevedko]

No, I'm 20. Tetris and pokemons are the best DS games ever!

[megaboomface]

dang your pahetic if you play pokemon and are 20 thats like a 50 year old saying he likes the rugrats games

[Zeffa1234]

@megaboomface

You need to shut the fuck up and learn that from a 20 year olds perspective, all they most likely had at their time were games like Pokemon and Tetris. There is nothing wrong with that. My dad is in his 50's...is it a problem that he still likes pacman and pinball (etc)? No, it's not...dumbass.

[pantoja535]

tetris !!!!!

and pokemon

and advans wars

[TheHellwars]

@Krevedko zetta moron, i´ll add you to the heap later

[emNm1010]

@Krevedko okay, have you ever played twewy??? cause there is NO way  pokemon is better than twewy srry.

[usb908]

the world ends with you FTW!!!

[miciso666]

kh 358 days ftw plz XD its the best series of all time

[ImUrAngel4Life]

agreed :D

[JocelynJEG]

Well, this was for 2008 and 358/2 days was released in 2009. Im still playing 358/2 days and Im planning on getting TWEWY soon. Im so hyped!!

[miciso666]

[serge87]

a güevo

[C0SM1CG4TE]

WTF how come Megaman isnt in there

[stevetheblobman]

aha i knew is houlda bought the world ends with you at some point up till now :/ owell xD still order of ecclesia was an AMAZING game, one of my fave games in years and, to me, the best castlevania on the DS

[SonicSnail95]

space invaders kicks ass

if gta chinatown wars doesnt win 09 (or have they announced the winners yet? idk, i dont really keep up with these evnts...) then nothing should

[unknown2594]

MOON or Chinatown Wars.

[Fenrisaconite]

YES! Justice!

[Zeroned666]

guitar hero: worl tour is'nt fun, has very few songs, and it hurts after playing for 15 minutes! it should'nt even be nominated!

[jodalita]

You're insane. The World Ends With You is truly the game of 2008 and one of the best titles for the Nintendo DS.

[CaliforniaRoyaltyTV]

TWEWY was the most freaking amazing game to walk the earth.

Word. xD LOL

[BrianThq]

@CaliforniaRoyaltyTV Yes it is

[jpark0906]

world ends with you was a really good game. loved the storyline and use of the touch screen in combat. I would recommend it

[demonnogo]

The world ends with you its the best ever buy it now

[BrysonialTheBison]

Wail how was guitar hero: world tour even nominated i mean its not a very fun game it only has 26 songs (i think) it hurts your hand after about 15 minutes of playing and it costs WAY to much

TWEWY rocks my flippen socks!

[fazexro]

HELL YEAH! TWEWY FTW!!!

[MrTREYGOMYEGGO]

TWENY was mu game of the year for all consoles. it was so epic

[BrosEnter]

The World Ends With You (i think) should also be nominated for Best Game of the Year! Not just for DS.... unfortunly not too many people like the DS :(

[SupercarBand]

Most of those people who say that they don't like the DS have either played it for less than a minute or not at all. They are just biased. They haven't even tried to like it. PSP has some good games, but Ds has good games as well. Get over it, Playstation fanboys.

[tyeb29]

the psp literally only has like 7 good games... i checked.

[Reconite11]

Much like PS3.

[tyeb29]

no ps3 has loads of good games are u crazy? Mgs4, uncharted 2,littlebigplanet,killzone2,re­sistance2,final fantasy 13,ninja gaiden 2 sigma.

[Reconite11]

Dude, I was joking. :P

I was going my fanboyish stereotypes. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and a PC (which can handle games).

[tyeb29]

oh wow, how can u afford games for all them? i usualy stick to one system

[Reconite11]

Well, actually, the consoles are shared between me and my family. The only ones which are 100% mine are the Xbox 360 and PC. I share the PS3 with my brother and Wii with the rest of my family. All great consoles though.

[Itaschi96]

I really hate those fanboys. I got a DS and a PSP and I think both are great. I got more than 50Games for each so I think I can say: BOTH HANDHELDS ARE JUST GREAT

[00xXEclipseXx00]

agreed. i have a psp and ds. i think they both have its ups and downs. the ds obivouly has more interactivity making games more fun, but dosent have much graphics. the psp definatley has better graphics. the analog stick is definatley a plus and makes it feel like... well a playstation. but the psp dosen't only do games it does a lot more, but easily not used or overlooked for some reason. so the psp is for poeple who enjoy a more consol lyk game. ds is 4 peeps who like be in the game!

[derrickcalla123]

@SupercarBand D.S is the best!!! U just dont enjoy it because you are only playing ds in emulator! its better if you have a real ds because you can hold a pen like stick that you can use to touch the screen!! and D.S have a wifi which you can play with other players that have a wifi connection! also in DS you can multiplayer with other "6" players!

[kristjan117]

@derrickcalla123 psp has wifi and you can play in a full server with up to 32 players lol

[uilregit]

@SupercarBand to which,

all i have to say is

ds is printing money while sony is desperately trying to promote the psp by having a stereotypical black kid telling u its good

go figure fanboys

[SSJCerious]

@uilregit lol

[jarannalli]

@SupercarBand

When it comes to handhelds, Nintendo has never left it's prime era. All the biggest devs still make games and franchises for Nintendo's handhelds when they don't even make them for Nintendo's home console. Plus, in most cases, the games for DS stay very true to a great gameplay experienece like the old days. And THAT is why the DS kicks so much ass.

[Emanny237]

@jarannalli

That's why I love the DS because it is like having a small SNES I can say the same thing about the the GBA, but I don't really like the wii that much.

[jarannalli]

@Emanny237

Exactly. Like having a small snes. That's exactly how I feel about it.

[omarct]

@jarannalli Yea and i guess selling it cheaper with crappy graphics just like the wii and its ps2 graphics has nothing to do with it.

[jarannalli]

@omarct

Has nothing to do with what? What are you even talking about?

[PAO13071]

@SupercarBand i have both but psp is better but ds is worth buying but with the 3ds comming next year the ds is gonna die expept if the 3ds has original ds games playability but thats another story

[lordrath2000]

@PAO13071

3DS is backwards compatible, it'll be a while before DS dies, especially since by then, it should be cheaper to develop for than the 3DS.

[Emanny237]

@SupercarBand

Personally i am a big play station fan, but I prefer the DS over the PSP I just think it has better games, but I like the PS3 over the wii. Anyways, it is all a matter of taste, but I do think the DS is the best handheld ever!!

[GannondorkVBA]

@SupercarBand Excellent point. I was about to get a PSP before I woke up to what I had in front of me. Now I'm invested in getting the new 3DS. I'll have to wait on that PSP.

[dwagothegod]

@SupercarBand luckily i am both a Nintendo and a Sony fan boy ;)

[NoRefundsXD]

@BrosEnter ur wrong! a lot of people like the ds!

[jarannalli]

@BrosEnter

Are you kidding? I see people with DS's everywhere I go. And some of my favorite times are playing mine while I wait in lines at Disneyland. :)

People are always like "oh man, why didn't I think of that."

[Salnax]

@BrosEnter Oh, lots of people like the DS. There are more DS's out there than there are PS3s and 360s combined. Most of those people just don't make game of the year lists.

[Kaiserfangirl]

@Salnax

Heck, The DS has sold twice as many systems as the Wii, it's awesome.

I'm not the type to bash any of the main 5 (DS, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360, PS3) due to them all having their strong and weak points.

I'm one of those anti exclusive people, if the game wasn't made by the maker of the system, release it for all of the consoles

Or at the very least have all games be released for 360 and PS3 or Wii and PS2, so more people can play without owning all the systems.

[KyutiHuni]

TWEWY is epicness and awesomeness! I just got a DS because of this game!

[FreDaN92]

The world end with you kicks ass!!!

[BlueTobi25]

TWEWY FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[CannabisDelux]

I gues they dont realy like fight games at IGN. there were some great 2d fight games this year (including inport).

TWEWY is realy good an i have no problem being it N.1 i still play it bud i think that Bleach: Dark Souls should be atleast nominated if your into 2d fight games it dont even is a problem if you never heard of bleach. the combat system is just so deep. o well mayby Bleach 4th: Flame Bringer next year (if it can match the last 2d bleach game's).

[shadowcatgc]

To all who watch this video and have not played or even better bought The World Ends With You;

Buy it. Play it. Now.

For, it is the best game I have ever played. Even people who do not like JARPGs will enjoy it at least in some aspect. If not.. I'm very sorry that you cannot see the awesome in front of you!

[ioioi210]

NO SUPER MARIO BROS?!

Just Kidding, The World Ends with you is awesome

[CruorTelum]

the world ends with you is one of the best games ever

[jedidave132]

WHERES RYTHM HEAVEN>?!

[kaianasa1974]

That was best of 2008. Rhythm Heaven was 2009.

[uglymug211]

Where the hell was Tetris?

[piemonkey789]

personally, i liked all the titles if you dont like those games then i guess you dont own a ds
