★★★★☆Nintendo DS

What a marvel the Nintendo DS was, which brought a ton of games that took advantage of the touchscreen and the stylus. Another one of those games, like Mystery Dungeon, which brought a breath of fresh air to the Pokémon franchise, I thought the concept of playing as a ranger was really cool. The only drawback I remember finding at the time is that sometimes the touch system would fail when you were doing the captures with the... uh... spinning top? (I don't remember the game's specific lexicon anymore...)
