Introduction to the Top Ten DSi Games

While this is not my first DSi Games article, I felt as if my original Nintendo DSi games list could do with a little refreshment to reflect some of the great new DSi games that have appeared over the last year.

Finding the best DSi games for your Nintendo DSi console is not always easy, since there are thousands of DSi games to choose from, not only from Nintendo, but from several DSi game publishers. Fortunately I have compiled a list of some of the best DSi games right here to allow you to get the very best out of your Nintendo DSi console.

All the Nintendo DSi games also work on the Nintendo DSi XL. The DSi XL is very similar to the standard DSi, however it has a screen nearly twice as large to give you the very best out of your DSi games. You can find more information about the DSi XL on my DSi XL review!

The Best DSi Games

The problem with compiling a top ten list of DSi games is that the entire matter is subjective. My best DSi games might cause others to cringe.  So if you enjoy playing DSi games and think a different game should have made it in to the list, please feel free to leave a comment!

The Top Ten Nintendo DSi Games

So without further ado, it is my great pleasure to bring you, the amazin, the fantastic, the self indulgent, the Top Ten Nintendo DSi Games!

10) Transformers: War for Cybertron DS - Best DSi Game?

This top DSi game Transformers War for Cybertron is a fantastic action DS game which brings together fast paced action, intriguing singleplayer story lines and a fantastic multiplayer mode.

There are two versions of the Transformers War for Cybertron which can be bought, namely Decepticons and Autobots. Each version of this game follows a different story line, and comes with it's own set of transformer bots.

Different bots can be unlocked and chosen for different missions, it is important to realise however that in this great Nintendo DSi game each bot has different weaknesses and strengths which must be used effectively

Transformers War for Cybertron DS is a fantastic DSi game, but while it does have some interesting new fetures, it doen't bring anything with amazing innovation to the table.

4) Style Savvy Girls DSi Game

Yes that's right, I have managed to squeeze two great Girls DSi games in to my top ten DSi games list. Style Savvy is aimed at any girl who is really in to fashion. In Style Savvy DS you will find yourself the manager of a top style boutique, where you will have to fight to become the best by pleasing your style conscious customers, and winning catwalk competitions.

Wireless multiplayer will also give you some great extras in this fantastic girls DSi game as you can shop, and compete with your friends. Style Savvy DS is most definitely a girls DSi game, but in my opinion it is one of the best Girls DSi games out there, focusing on fashion and style rather than action and strategy.
