    As simple as it asks.  Which platform game do you think is the best on the DS?

    I voted for New Super Mario Bros. It was the perfect way to update a classic platformer to modern handhelds.

    I voted Super Mario 64.  It was an extremely well made port of a classic game and considering how early in the life cycle of the DS, the beginning, it showed exactly what the new console was capable of.

    I voted other - as much as I loved the Castlevania games, Henry Hatsworth has had me addicted longer than any other game so far...

    Sonic Rush imo, I hated NSMB, It was way too easy and the level design was shockingly bad. I completed the game on the way back home from the store.


    Yoshi Island DS was pretty much the same, but far worse, and I told Nintendo as much when they emailed me with a questionaire about it.

    Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - my second favorite in the series, surpassed only by Symphony of the Night.

    I voted for Super Mario 64.

    I thought NSMB was alright, but I found it bland compared to the other great Mario games. While I didn't find Super Mario 64 DS better than the original version, due to controls, I still think it's the best platformer on the DS.

    I went with New Super Mario Bros, but you left off Henry Hatsworth which is an extremely worthy contender.

    I went with Dawn of Sorrow. So far it's my favorite game in the series although I'm not that far into SotN and I haven't played Order of Ecclesia yet (Which I've heard wonders about).

    Im going with Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. I loved that game. Haven't played order of Ecclesia yet, but I hope to soon. 


    Second pick would have been Sonic Rush. The only decent sonic game since Adventure on the Dreamcast.

    I really loved SM64DS, but I gave the nod to NSMB. Sonic Rush was great as well

    I am not particularly surprised that NSMB is in front, but I am a little surprised by how much.
