Top 10 DSi Game
Number 10 - New Super Mario Bros
The latest installment of the classic 2D platform game returns for the Nintendo DSi. The New Super Mario Bros for the DSi easily gets in to my top ten DSi Games, but since it gives nothing more than new maps and a few extra abilities, I haven't elevated it further than 10.
New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DSi does however have fantastic playability and easily helps while away a few hours of boredom! Plus look out for new abilities, power ups and adventure! As well as playing a wide variety of new maps on New Super Mario Bros DSi, you will also find yourself having to use a few Nintendo DS features in New Super Mario bros, one of the best DSi Games.
The fact that this fantastic DSi game still maintians all the simple yet addictive gameplay that made this great has helped ensure that even today this simple 2D platform game remains as popular as ever.

Number 9 - Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
Dr Kawashima brings you a huge range of brain training puzzles for the Nintendo DSi, giving your brain the kind of work out which would make Mr Hawkin break a sweat. Don't worry though, you shouldn't sprain any of the old thinking muscles as the good doctor takes you through a series of mind bending tests to find out what your mental age is.
This may seem like a weird thing to have in my top ten, but I guarantee you will find yourself addicted as you try to prove that your brain is in fact more agile than an eighty five year old senile man!
I personally love this great Brain Training DSi game!

Number 8 - Big Bang Mini
Big Bang Mini is in the top ten Nintendo DSi games because it struck a cord with my gaming soul. It is quick to learn and easy to pick up and put down, yet to really succeed at the game you have to master it's controls.
This game highlights what handheld consoles really are, pick up and play, switch this on, play for a while ,you will get in to it all in no time on this top Nintendo DSi game! While this game is easy to pick up, it will take you quite some time to truly master the controls of this stunning DSi game.
New Top Ten DSi Games
Number 7 - Dragon Quest V
The fifth in the series of the Dragon Quest games has taken nearly two decades to reach the American shores, but boy was it worth the wait. The complexities of Dragon Quest for outshine Pokémon, although it does lack in other areas. Dragon Quest V has made it in to my top DSi Games of 2010 with it's sheer playability and enjoyability. you cannot help but play Dragon Quest V for the DSi without missing first your lunch then your dinner!
The top notch gameplay of this DSi game mixed with an intriguing storyline make this one of the best DSi games for children, and adults.
Top Nintendo DSi Game 2009
Number 6 - Henry Hatsworth's Puzzle
This may seem a bit cartoonish but this new DSi game easily makes it in to my Top Ten DSi games simply because of its genuinely unique play style. I am not sure how this came about but on top of a 2D platform sword fighting game you also have tetris, at the same time, with some quirks. This strange combination surprisingly works incredibly well, leaving you on your toes and never playing the same game twice.
The unique mix of action and skill games really does help this game become a truly addictive game to anyones Nintendo DSi game collection. Once you master the art of switching between the two game modes you will have hours upon hours of fun!
So thank you Henry Hatsworth, and welcome to the Top Ten Nintendo DSi Games of 2010!

Broken Sword, Shadow of the Templars
Broken Sword is the ultimate in point and click puzzle solving games, the intricacy and entertainment is in my opinion unbeatable by any other Nintendo DSi game. For this reason Broken Sword DSi holds a high ranking in my top ten Nintendo DSi games,, and I thin that everybody should give this a shot.
Chances are once you have picked Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars up you will not be putting it down until you complete it, or collapse from exhaustion!
This great Broken Sword DS game is a fantastic addition to any DSi game collection.
Top DSi Games
Number 4 - Final Fantasy IV
Mixing the RPG with a Dragon Quest/Pokémon mix of gameplay has left you with a more human, heart wrenching storyline. And that what really gives Final Fantasy IV DS it's real charm, it has a beautiful story line, great graphics and a beautifully easy to use control system.
The ninth inception of the Final fantasy line has left fans stunned with it's amazing playability and re playability. The characters and story lines really draw you in to the game, which was addictive enough to begin with. I have no qualms about giving this awesome game a top spot in my Top Ten DSi Game rankings of 2009!

Number 2 - Super Mario Kart DS
This classic game first appeared on the SNES in 1992, although most people still recognise it's Nintendo 64 release with full 3D graphics to be the best release.In it's crossover to the Nintendo DSi Super Mario Kart DS has lost none of it's playability and none of it's charm!
This unbelievably addictive game lets you pit your racing skills against the computer or other players, either way you will be in for a wacky hilarious ride around the track with Super Mario Kart for the Nintendo DSi!
In Mario Kart DS you can race as Kong, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and more as you race to the finish line in this brilliant DSi game. A wide variety of power ups keep things interesting, and with an inbuilt 'catch-up' system you will never get so far ahead that this entertaining DSi game gets boring.

The Number One DSi Game

Yes I know it's a rehash of old games, I know its been around since the first Game Boy and I know that putting this as the number one Nintendo DSi Game makes me ever so slightly geekyish. But the true fact of the matter is that Pokémon is one of the greatest and most addictive games to hit the handheld market, and the latest version only goes to improve what started off as a beautifully well made game.
So take your hats off to the number one of our top ten - Pokemon Platinum!
