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 :(

I really loved rocket slime as well. There's a spiritual successor called connectank on steam that gives me the same vibes, and has fun co-op!

Just for your information, there are actually two other games related to Rocket Slime. Unfortunately they are JP only. The one that release outside of Japan is the 2nd game. There's a GBA game that came out before it and a sequel to the DS game focused on pirate ships

Kenka Bancho. It's a series of japanese games for the PSP, with only the 3rd game being officially translated and released outside Japan as Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble. It's like playing a typical shonen anime set in high school, you're a delinquent who fights everyone from the other schools in order to become the ultimate badass. It's semi open world and you can beat pedestrians and innocent civilians, which reduce your badass meter, because real badasses only fight people who can fight back! And with their bare hands, weapons are for weak pussies! It's over the top and fun as hell. I've only ever met one other person mention that game, and it was an RPG friend of mine, when he bought a PSP for himself.

Something I highly recommend for anyone that enjoyed River City Ransom or similar beat'em ups.

Ogre Battle, either March of the Black Queen or Person of Lordly Caliber. It's such a weird cul-de-sac of tactical RPGs. The same company made Tactics Ogre, which then became Final Fantasy Tactics, which in turn inspired a zillion other post-2000 tactics games; and Tactics Ogre got a remake version recently. But the Ogre Battle side of the family just disappeared.

Stronghold Crusader HD. It's not even like the other games in the series but I keep coming back to this one to play. I've played tons of RTS games, but nothing scratches the itch like it does.

I vaguely remember a DS version of one of the assassin's creed games, it was a 2d platformer. Used to take it with me everywhere. I can't quite remember the name though?

Cossacks 3 or any of the older ones too. Pretty satisfying building up your economy and managing huge battles.

I humbly submit for your approval Yuppie Psycho, a fantastic Steam horror adventure about a kid's first day in a truly nightmarish company. It's got a unique style, and genuinely unnerved me in places. Really creative work, and it deserves so much more attention.

Wizball. I know the C64 version is considered the best because of the music, but I only ever played it on Amiga and it was still awesome. Such a weird, unique game.
