Topic: DSarchive.com - A Nintendo DS Resource

Hello DS fans,

My name is Dave, and I am a huge fan of the Nintendo DS and it's excellent game library. Because of my love for this handheld, I have embarked on a new personal blog project that aims to catalog DS games and hardware individually through small (somewhat personal and perhaps a little biased) articles, taking into account the historical context of each game's release. I won't be going in any particular order (not chronologically or alphabetically), but rather I'll be writing articles as I am so inspired. I own over 150 DS games and have played them all, so I have enough to keep me going for quite some time.

I appreciate your support and readership if you are at all interested in following along, and I welcome comments, suggestions and article requests. Also, if you like this idea, please share it with friends!

Nice site Dave, the content is concise and well formatted, while also telling you pretty much everything you'd need to know. It seems like it's getting updated pretty regularly so you can count me in I guess. I'd say my favourite DS game is Professor Layton and the Lost Future.

Ahh, an excellent game, and arguably the best of the four games released for DS.
Yes, I do have an article planned for it. I need to think about the angle though, as I don't want it to be like every other review that's already out there. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm considering doing something similar for the 3DS. However, the DS is a great subject for a project like this despite its over-emphasis on touch control and SNES-ish ports.

Best of luck.

You totally should! The 3DS is a killer system with an excellent game library. It's still current, but that will change with the release of the NX, and soon before you know it, people all over the internet will be looking for retrospectives and "hidden gems" lists and stuff like that. My goal is just to catalog games thoroughly as I go along so that the information is preserved beyond the internet archive or a wikipedia page...


Also, current reviews and articles have a different perspective and voice than retrospectives do. Hindsight is 20/20 so it would be nice to read some retrospectives on 3DS...
