Download the episode here or listen on SoundCloudWe had so much fun doing the 3DS Retrospective with Matt Giguere, we decided to bring him back to do the same with the Nintendo DS. From the hardware revisions to the best “DS” subtitle, we dive deep into this weird and wonderful system and the games it inspired. And then, of course, we spend way too much time debating the top 25 DS games of all time (with the caveat that there’s a ton of games we haven’t played for the system). We’ll post the full list soon. And if you’re interested in our personal top 25 lists, those will also be releasing in the coming days. If you want more Matt Giguere, you can find him streaming on Twitch or guest hosting occasionally on the Abstract Japan podcast.

And then we’ll brave the monumental task of cherry picking the 3DS’ 25 best games (with a fair amount of rules to keep things interesting).
