3 Great Puzzle Games for the Nintendo DS

The Nintendo DS is one of the best handheld systems, nay, one of the best current video game systems period, if you are a fan of brain-twisting puzzle games. The touch screen and style controlled bottom half of the DS is highly conducive to creatively controlling puzzle games. The dual screens of the DS are also very helpful in Tetris-like, falling brick games to free up the bottom touch screen for move movement and screen-space. Check out these three puzzle games for the DS if you are looking for some fun, creative, addictive games that you can’t find on any other video game system.

Meteos

Meteos is a Tetris-like puzzle game developed by legendary game-developer Tetsuya Mizugichi who is somewhat of a hero of innovative gaming fans thanks to his work on Lumines and Rez. If you’ve ever played either of those two games you have a general idea of what to expect from Meteos. Like Tetris, Meteos revolves around little falling blocks and performance chip looking cubes. Unless you can see the complexity of the game screen itself it is hard to properly describe this great puzzle game. Fans of Big Bang Mini or Tetris should definitely check out this creative and challenging puzzle game.

Electroplankton

One of the earliest DS launch titles, Electroplankton is a fun little music creating game that is great to use to show off the capabilities of the DS and touch screen stylus controls. The premise is simple in that you are given 10 different Plankton controls to create different sounds and looping voices by dragging, tapping, spinning or clapping into the microphone. You can spend hours creating fun little loops with Electroplankton, but sadly, there is no easy way to save and transfer your creations unless you hook up your DS to your computer via a cable.

Polarium

Polarium is a another game that shows just how perfect and innovative the original Tetris game was since just about every puzzle game since has borrowed some ideas from it. In Polarium you draw lines over tiles to flip them from white to black to complete puzzles. There is a Tetris-like falling tiles challenge where tiles pile up on the bottom screen and must be flipped to complete.
