DS Daily: What's the last game you beat?

by Candace Savino { Jul 13th 2008 at 10:30AM }

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.

Lord Bowser @ Jul 13th 2008 11:11AM

"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.

Jeremy @ Jul 13th 2008 12:10PM

let's see....super mario bros

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 )

Don-Don @ Jul 13th 2008 12:31PM

Ouendan

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.

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.

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...

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.)

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...

bombchu @ Jul 13th 2008 9:45PM

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?).
