If you’re not jazzed by the idea of a meandering, three-hour podcast detailing the lifespan of the Nintendo DS, perhaps you’ll enjoy this stripped down, no frills, top 25 list of Matt Giguere and Chase Koeneke’s favorite games for the handheld. Only one game from a given series was allowed, and while full remakes (like Final Fantasy) were allowed, remasters/ports (like Chrono Trigger) were not.
