Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Custom Robo on the GameCube. It's an arena combat game with little digital robots that you fit different parts to. The story and characters were super cheesy, but it was such a great game.

We definitely need a new one on the switch. With all the characters in the latest Smash Bros I was hoping we'd get a Ray model, but nope, just a trophy.

Custom Robo is one of the best games ever made. Had so much fun with that one as a kid

There was a DS game called Custom Robo Arena that was pretty good considering it's hardware and its intended age demographic.

Screw the final boss though. I could only beat it using the cheesiest spam possible.

I played that one too! Great DS game but the GC game is the one that I reminisce about.

The opening animation was pretty dope!
