What are some visually impressive DS games?
- Thread starter Bomblord
- Start date
Let's pretend to be shocked that the most impressive early 3D game on the system was developed by Shin'en.
Yeah that looks about right. From my memory anyways. I came to post this. I loved that game. And while it was kind of odd, it did look good in motion.
And I will give another vote to Okamiden. I loved it, visually speaking.
I kinda wish they had of stuck with that art style for the follow up games with the Bravely series and now Octopath. Don't get me wrong all the games in this series (kinda series) look amazing, just the idea of 4 Heroes of Light but progressed to HD would be amazing.
Matrix Software was on a huge roll with the DS. They also did 4 Heroes of Light, FFIII, FFIV, Avalon Code and Nostalgia, which are all pretty wonderful looking games.

Part of why the Nintendo DS had so many games running at 60fps is because the hardware could draw 2048 polygons per frame and no more.

Per frame instead of per second? Why couldn't they halve the frames to double the polygons produced in the same time period?

I thought it was more that the hardware was simple enough that framerate was basically a function of how many polygons (or maybe it was vertices) you had on the screen, with 60fps basically being guaranteed as long as you stayed under a certain threshold.
A DS impressive looking games thread and no Ni No Kuni?
Am I the only one that had no idea Ni No Kuni had a DS entry?
Indeed is the vanilla version of the game.
PS3 White Witch story after Dark Djiin one is a filler.
Definitely the Kingdom Hearts games (358/2 Days and Re:coded). Scaled up on an emulator they come damn close to the PS2 entries.
It's 6144 vertices per frame and this hard limit seems to be imposed by memory limitations.
That's kind of the joke because Ubisoft puts Chaos Theory on everything..

Yeah, Ghost Trick is really beautiful to look at.
For me personally, I'll say Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. Not only was it incredibly fun to play (multiple times), it was beautiful to look at. The animation was so fluid, and the approach of doing polygonal models over pre-rendered backgrounds allowed them to really compose a great looking game on such limited hardware.

I believe most games on DS were 60fps due to how the hardware worked. There was also a hardwired limit on rendered triangles.

An argument for crafting an engine specifically tailored to the hardware at an incredibly low level then. Too bad we don't see this as much today.
Does this have an English patch??Nice, there are some DBK gifs in that thread !
Got this game in a flash cart, maybe I should finally give it a full shot:

what the hell this looks amazing
No Dragon Quest IX mention? I always felt it was one of the best looking DS games, almost looked as good as a PSP game if the resolution were a little higher.
I had no idea that this was a thing, but a Wizard of Oz RPG sounds so up my alley. Was it any good?

Man, those shots of DS games running on an emulator. Is it a pain in the butt to rip your games? I still have a tonne of DS stuff I want to get through.
OP
OP
I'll let you know if you're interested I just ordered a tool to do it ;)
Final fantasy: crystal chronicles: rings of fate was the prettiest game that i played on the thing.
mentioned several times but nobody had pics on hand :)No Metroid Prime Hunters?
Looks especially good at a higher res via an emulator.
