I have a DS emulator on my phone and I am currently looking for games to play. What are the best DS games out there besides pokemon? I prefer RPG or strategy.

I know the Advance Wars series had some DS games. I never tried the DS games, but the series is great.

This may sound odd but back when I had a DS Clubhouse Games was my favorite.

I highly recommend Radiant Historia if you want a great JRPG to play. Also, don't pirate.

DS had a good version of Chrono Trigger. The Ace Attorney games are meant to be great, too. And there's an excellent Metroid-style shooter called Aliens: Infestation:

EDIT: Oh, if you want another JRPG, lots of people like The World Ends With You (though the music got on my nerves).

Korg made a synthesizer of sorts for the ds , called the ds-10, not a game but if you're into music you can get pretty creative with it.

I like Final Fantasy 4, and the DS version is better cuz you can use weapons as items in battle WITHOUT locking them on your ability screen.

But those polygon graphics are so ugly. It hurts my eyes. I'd rather play the GBA version (which also runs on DS!).

The Castlevania games on DS are also a lot of fun if you are into that kind of game. I believe there was a final fantasy tactics released for DS that was quite fun. (unless I'm confused and there were two for GBA)

Trauma Team.

Will likely not be very good on a phone with fingers, but it's a fantastic game.

Hotel Dusk if you want a really good interactive story.
