Top 4 Exclusives That Define The Nintendo DSi
The number one selling point of the Nintendo DSi isn’t the new features that were added to the unit. The number one selling point of the Nintendo DSi is, and will always be, the list of exclusives that will only appear on a Nintendo console.
Below are the top 4 exclusives that will carry the Nintendo DSi to amazing heights of success:
1. Mario. If video game is to be assigned a mascot, it should be Mario. It would be a crime to promote another character to be the ambassador of electronic entertainment. Mario is the most recognizable figure in the video game industry. Every Mario title that is released is a cause for celebration, and the Nintendo DSi is one of only two current generation video game systems that will serve as homes for this digital superstar. With games like New Super Mario Bros., Mario & Luigi, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, not to mention the other titles where the affable plumber makes a cameo, we can say that the Nintendo DSi has been blessed with a gracious serving of Mario madness.
2. Mario Kart. Indeed, Mario Kart is another Mario title, but it has completely defined an entire genre that the franchise is worth an entry of its own in this prestigious list. The first Mario Kart, released on the SNES, revolutionized racing games with fantastic physics and exciting game play. Every installment of the series since then has been met with much enthusiasm and excitement, and each entry never failed the humongous expectations they were burdened with. With Mario Kart DS, the Nintendo DSi received what can very well be the best racing game EVER, one which provides an online multiplayer experience that doubles the excitement and the value of the package.
3. Legend of Zelda. Many believe that the Legend of Zelda series is Shigeru Miyamoto’s greatest creation. That’s saying a lot about the guy who gave us Mario, F-Zero, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, and most recently, Wii Music. But people who believe such a claim have a strong argument going for them: that the Legend of Zelda games are some of the finest titles ever released for any console. Take, for example, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. It is the first game that ever received a perfect 10 from EGM and Gamespot. It also received the perfect score from many other review outlets. No Legend of Zelda game ever received a score below 90% (or its equivalent in other rating scales). Blessed be the Nintendo DSi then, for it enjoys two Zelda games: the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
4. Pokemon! Gotta catch ‘em all! The hit monster collecting game has become nothing short of a global phenomenon. Originally intended for kids, the game has even captured the imagination of adults as well. The Nintendo DSi is home to Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, games that were hailed to have revitalized the multi-billion dollar franchise. Soon to arrive on the Nintendo DSi are Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver.
