DS Daily: What's the last game you beat?
Many of us don't get around to beating games, but then again, some of us make a point to finish. Either way, we're sure you've completed something at some point. So, what's the last DS game in which you actually made it to the end credits? And when was that?

I think it would be Sonic Rush, quite a while ago. Like, I've gotten to the end of games like TWEWY and Professor Layton but often there are additional quests that add to the story, so I'm not sure whether you'd consider that a true complete.
You can't beat Space Invaders, can you.
McDoobie @ Jul 13th 2008 10:46AM
Pokemon Pearl. Saw all 150 Pokemon, received the National Dex and, of course, beat the Elite 4 (I think it was four).
I've gone to quite a few events, too.
Other games I've fully completed:
New Super Mario Bros. (3-star)
Mario Kart DS (3-star all cups)

how do you get 3 stars? I only have 2....and I have unlocked all of the secret worlds, levels, cannons, mushroom houses, and star coins. The only thing I am iffy about is the world 7 bunch of levels together near the end, may I be missing a path?
ernest @ Jul 13th 2008 3:42PM
You have to sp end all the star coins that you collect.
Roy911 @ Jul 13th 2008 10:59AM
The World Ends With You, a few months ago.
Nothing else has really been worth my time.
Saria the Cat @ Jul 13th 2008 8:27PM
Same here.
Kimiko @ Jul 13th 2008 11:04AM
Etrian Odyssey, two weeks ago. And three weeks before that Contact. Ontamarama (easy mode though) before that, but that was a while ago.

"Easy mode, ha, ha, har."
rikki @ Jul 13th 2008 11:13AM
Touch Detective 2, haha.
I need to learn to focus on one game -- but that's so boring when I've got so many!
mikelhend @ Jul 13th 2008 11:36AM
Just finished Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on the PSP -- a great RPG! (Isn't it about time we got some Valkyrie Profile goodness on the DS?)
Now I'm plowing through World Ends With You with the intent of finishing it, too...
WalkingCarpet @ Jul 13th 2008 11:38AM
I finished Ninja Gaiden, albeit on the easiest difficulty. The game was a little short for my tastes.

I got to the final boss in Megaman StarForce Pegasus, but beween being unable to kill Grabities and not having a strong enough deck, I grew frustrated and am getting rid of it.
Otherwise, Metroid Zero Mission, while it's a GBA game, is the last thing I saw the end credits on my DS with.
Roto13 @ Jul 13th 2008 11:59AM
I finished the story missions of Final Fantasy Tactics A2 yesterday, but I still have like 150 missions to go.
joedom @ Jul 13th 2008 12:06PM
Most Recent:
- Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga for DS
Others over the past year:
- Advance Wars Days of Ruin
- Professor Layton
- Pet Alien
- Pokemon Diamond
aj @ Jul 14th 2008 1:13AM
Did you find the Dagobah level in Episode V really, really tedious?
That was the only real weak spot in the game, IMHO.
Reeve @ Jul 13th 2008 12:06PM
Last DS game I beat was TWEWY, back in early June. The last game on any system I beat was Wild ARMs 5, a little over a week ago.
Phantom @ Jul 13th 2008 12:26PM
TWEWY like a week ago , but I still have to collect the secret reports , but I got to the credits atleast . When I play a game I play it to the finish , unless I just can't beat it before i give up. ( Chrono Trigger on SNES , I only beat the first 2-3 Lavos parts . Wtihout going through the Black Omen )

Mr Khan @ Jul 13th 2008 12:34PM
Last DS game i beat was the last one i bought, long before FFTA2: Phantom Hourglass
Obviously the core game was great, but the online mode was surprisingly fun too, once you started looking at it
MidnightScott @ Jul 13th 2008 12:39PM
Sonic Rush Adventure I believe, I beat that several months ago. So far I've gotten 4 more DS games, and made alot of progress on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and have barely played Megaman Star Force 2: Zerker x Ninja, and just got Trauma Center: UtK 2 & Apollo Justice the other day and haven't played them yet. I now own 51 DS games ^_^
Holden @ Jul 13th 2008 12:49PM
The World Ends With You is the best game I've beat.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is the last game I've beat.
Word.
Char6296 @ Jul 14th 2008 12:06PM
I beat the Main Story of TWEWY about a month ago, I'd say. And I beat Professor Layton at around the same time. And my sister beat Hotel Dusk two months ago, but I didn't bother.
Matt G. @ Jul 13th 2008 1:23PM
Let's see....
I beat Mega Man ZX Advent and Prof. Layton during my spring break, I beat Lego Indy soon after its release, I beat Etrian Odyssey in mid-June, Pokemon Diamond two weeks ago, and Phantom Hourglass a couple of days ago.
hehe, I've been busy.
igorponweed @ Jul 13th 2008 2:04PM
Phoenix Wright. 2 weeks ago.
Origamian @ Jul 13th 2008 2:07PM
You mean it's actually possible to FINISH a game?
Kidding, of course. It's just that there are so many great games out there, and so little time, that I rarely ever seem to finish one.
The last one I finished was Zelda Phantom Hourglass. That felt pretty satisfying.
T-Patch @ Jul 13th 2008 2:27PM
the last game I've beaten was Okami, PS2 ver., about 3 weeks ago. DS wise, the last game I've beaten was Feel the Magic XX/XY, about 2 1/2 months ago.
Other's I've beaten in the past year:
- Sonic Rush Adventure
-MegaMan StarForce Dragon
I'm in RPG mode right now, (playing through CT, SO3, and FF III/IV:A) so it may be a while before I see the end of another game...
dangdong @ Jul 13th 2008 3:10PM
Orcs & Elves a couple of days ago, then a couple of days before that, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
I never used to beat games before because I'd lose interest when trying to find all the secrets before I would proceed to the final battle, but then I realized how many games I have (well over 50 DS games on my shelf, nevermind all the other systems...) that have gone unbeaten or even altogether untouched, so I decided to play them all until I'm done. So now I do. I'm working on Rondo of Swords now.
gukid @ Jul 13th 2008 3:41PM
Like many others, TWEWY was the last game I "beat", but never bothered to finish all the extra stuff.
On that note, I wish game makers would realize that games don't need to have so much extra useless runaround content at the end of their games, and just make it possible to beat the game, and fun enough to want to play through again. Think Super Metroid, Earthbound... or add the challenges to the game while you're going through it, so you can take your time on the next playthrough to find everything (think Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, Super Mario World... why am I only naming SNES games?... I blame Final Fantasy 7.)
Sally @ Jul 13th 2008 3:26PM
Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Another Code: Two Memories are the only games I've beaten so far. I still have unfinished puzzles.
Adventure games are finish-able. Stuff like Rune Factory will take me a year. :P Animal Crossing will NEVER finish...
Nigeria @ Jul 13th 2008 3:43PM
It's either Apollo Justice or Professor Layton. I played both games simultaneously, sorta, so I can't quite remember which game I completed first.
But I've completed arcade mode on Guilty Gear with half the cast. I suppose that counts as well.
CDog @ Jul 13th 2008 3:51PM
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren The Wanderer.
I beat it to a dusty little pile with a hammer and feel *much* better about myself.
Before that (with less violence):
Pokemon Pearl (306 unique critters caught)
Phantom Hourglass
Jacksons @ Jul 13th 2008 3:56PM
Contra 4, also the last game I bought. My DS hasn't been getting the attention it deserves, lately.
gary yo @ Jul 13th 2008 3:58PM
i have not yet beat any of my ds games. i always get enough money to buy a new right before the last boss or something and give the game up.
Gennataos @ Jul 13th 2008 3:59PM
TWEWY. A lot of RPG makers could take notes from that game...loved it.
Katotetu @ Jul 13th 2008 4:10PM
Last DS game I beat was Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. Last game I beat period... does beating Mass Effect for the second time count?
bombchu @ Jul 13th 2008 4:58PM
Hmmm... I'd say Layton/Apollo Justice. Crystal Chronicles? When did that come out? Well, none since then. I always get really close to the end, freak out 'cos I know it's the end, suddenly decide to take every last sidequest to get 100% of clothes/armor/boat pieces... get bored... and never finish. On top of that, I've developed a severe case of game ADD since I got a Cyclo...

Dub post. My bad~ computer acted up.
BobTheElephant @ Jul 13th 2008 5:06PM
most recent the must have been TWEWY...i think the only game I've purchased since then has been Trauma Center:UtK2, which I refuse to play on anything lower than hard and uhh...it's really tough.
LordZombie1 @ Jul 13th 2008 5:32PM
Finished Etrian Odyssey about 2 weeks ago..still havent finished the post game but ill get to that eventually..but before that i finished The World Ends With You except for a secret report im missing from another day
Kenneth Caldwell @ Jul 13th 2008 5:41PM
Does Tetris count?
mahmud @ Jul 13th 2008 6:18PM
this is bad. i can't remember. maybe donkey kong 64 back 8 or so years ago.
Lulu @ Jul 13th 2008 6:34PM
I believe the last game I beat was Trace Memory. And that was quite some time ago.
TJF588 @ Jul 13th 2008 6:57PM
DS? Prolly WarioWare, but then I wiped it for my sis to play it (can still watch credits anyway). Not sure if I saw credits for First Hunt, but even after beating the main demo, I didn't unlock the video (whuh?). For any game, Zero Mission. Then again, that game is rather quick to finish (14/15% Hard be damned right now). Of more substantial games, the first Animal Crossing has displayed its credits to me lately, and FFIVA has been beaten in the past month or so, for great Musicplayer (wait, all one word?).
Hostile @ Jul 13th 2008 7:02PM
I didn't start jotting my completed games until this year and there are none this far into the year. I should really get started on The World Ends With You...
Adam Dolph @ Jul 13th 2008 7:24PM
Garfield's Nightmare, and i beat it yesterday...
SephFinale @ Jul 13th 2008 7:25PM
Probably The World Ends With You for me...but I still gotta go back and get the secret reports(I beat it about a week or so after it came out). I'm at the final boss on Twilight Princess though...I could go and beat that any time.
ALH @ Jul 13th 2008 8:13PM
For DS? Wow, uhm..i guess pokemon doesnt count since i didnt get all 500..600..whatever it is now. I take ages to finish handheld games, i honestly couldnt think what i finished to credits before that D:
