In Handhelds

10)Mario Kart DS
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
It's a dual-screen remake that's been in development since before the launch of the Nintendo DS, and it's going to be big on the Nintendo DS, not just due to its fantastic racing action. This will be the first game from Nintendo to go online using the company's Wi-Fi Connection serVice, which will enable as many as four players from anywhere in the world to compete against each other?for free. The design will also feature both classic and new tracks, and have some serious brawls in local wireless Battle Mode. This one's going to be huge.

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
When the GameCube version of Animal Crossing hit the scene a few years back, it was a perfect, laid back, timeless game design with no beginning, middle or end. The Nintendo DS version will incorporate most of what made the original GameCube title so successful, building upon that foundation and adding more functionality and customization into the mix. But the biggest addition is the one feature that all Animal Crossing junkies have requested: the Nintendo DS version will allow for as many as three other people to enjoy your village anywhere in the world.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami TYO
Though Konami has tried to push the Castlevania series into the 3D world, it's the classic side-scrolling design where the franchise continues to flourish. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is close to being, if it's not already, the finest Castlevania game ever made. And it's right here for DS owners to enjoy. The touch-screen elements are done modestly but effectively, and the fact that players can now keep the castle map on permanent display while they do some undead slaughtering changes the presentation up significantly. And the graphics? Simply beautiful.

7)Tony Hawk's American Sk8land
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Vicarious Visions
Game Boy Advance have been enjoying handheld Tony Hawk for years, but honestly, you guys haven't seen anything yet. American Sk8land is an original game that's spun out of the design created for American Wasteland on the console. It's a fully 3D experience, the way the Tony Hawk series was meant to be experienced, and the cool cel-shaded appearance of the visuals really turns this skater into something of its own. And, of course, the online multiplayer support means that players can compete against each other head-to-head and download weekly challenges.

6)Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Just as Pokemon kicked started the Game Boy handheld market, Nintendogs is doing the same for the Nintendo DS. It's hard not to find these virtual canines absolutely adorable, and the things you can do with these puppies really shows off what the dual screen handheld can do. Touch screen, microphone, wireless functionality -- this virtual pet experience is something no other system can do, or do as well. Bark Mode makes this entire package come together as a social experience.

5)Meteos
Publisher: Bandai
Developer: Q Entertainment
The original Game Boy had Tetris, the PSP has Lumines. For Nintendo DS owners, there's Meteos, a brilliant action-based puzzle game that would be impossible to play without the handheld system's touch screen to drive the game's fast-paced control. Matching tiles is only half the battle -- you need enough POWer to break the planet's gravity and send the tiles flying off-screen, and to do that you'll need to constantly keep on your toes matching like colors together. And when you get a network of four players going (only needing one copy of the game) the competition gets absolutely intense.

4)Gunstar Super Heroes
Publisher: SEGA
Developer: Treasure
One of game development studio Treasure's finest hours was the original Genesis production Gunstar Heroes, a balls-to-the-wall action shooter that never let up. The team has finally returned to the original Genesis game with an original GBA sequel, and if you've never been "wowed" with Game Boy game, wait until you pop this cartridge into your system. This is over-the-top action with an old-school feel, and yet it's also the most technologically advanced GBA game ever released -- just check out some of the amazing special effects the development team's pushing on the handheld. Even if you've moved onto the DS for your portable gaming, you really need to check out Gunstar Super Heroes.

3)Final Fantasy IV
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Square
It's a late entry for the Game Boy Advance, but come the end of the year Square will be releasing Final Fantasy IV for the handheld, a portable remake of the game that launched as Final Fantasy II in the States on the Super Nintendo. The numbering structure may have changed to match the Japanese lineage, but that's the biggest element that's been altered -- the GBA version will retail the original's 16-bit appearance and add a few new elements to the mix, but all in all it's the classic RPG experience all the way through.

2)Mario Tennis POWer Tour
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Camelot Software Planning
Whenever Japanese development studio Camelot releases a console sports game, a portable rendition isn't far behind. That's definitely the case for Mario Tennis, which follows the team's GameCube release of Mario POWer Tennis. The Game Boy Advance version takes all the action of the GameCube game and sandwiches it down on the smaller screen, and then adds a much deeper role-playing design to build up the two characters in the game. And if you've got yourself one of those handy-dandy GameCube GBA cables, you'll be able to upload those two characters out of the handheld and onto the GameCube 3D version, as well as download some additional goodies for the ride home.

1)Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo EAD
Double packs of games are the Game Boy Advance craze of this holiday season, and Nintendo's getting in on the act by releasing two puzzle games in one cartridge. Dr. Mario was Nintendo's original Tetris killer on the NES and original Game Boy, where players eliminated viruses by matching like colors together with falling vitamin tablets. Puzzle League is a reintroduction of Nintendo's other addictive puzzle game Panel de Pon, but North American gamers may recognize it as Pokemon Puzzle Challenge on the Game Boy Color, or Pokemon Puzzle League on the Nintendo 64. The Pokemon may be out of this version, but the action remains the same, and it'll be just as addictive as ever on the Game Boy Advance.
