The Nintendo DS turns ten this month, leaving all of us feeling impossibly old. But, concerns about our mortality aside, this milestone makes for a great opportunity to examine those lesser-known games that might have escaped us over the past decade of the DS' existence.

So, for the sake of maximum clarity, I decided to put together a little video about five DS titles that don't get nearly enough love—according to me, at least. If you managed to buy and play one or most of these, congratulations! You are a lady or gentlemen of refined tastes. But if you haven't, this video should provide more than enough reasons to hit up thrift shops or eBay to take advantage of your 3DS' backwards compatibility.

If you feel like I've completely overlooked your favorite obscure DS game, let me know in the comments below! But be kind, because a five-item list means plenty of entries I considered didn't make the cut. And if you enjoy watching videos like this, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube page.
