Best-Selling Nintendo DS Games

About This Dataset

This chart ranks the best-selling games on the Nintendo DS, one of the best-selling consoles ever, by lifetime copies sold in millions across all regions.

✨ AI Insight

New Super Mario Bros. leads the Nintendo DS at 30.8 million copies, comfortably ahead of Nintendogs at 23.96 million and Mario Kart DS at 23.6 million. The list captures the DS's unusually broad appeal: alongside traditional franchises it features the pet simulator Nintendogs and two Brain Age brain-training titles totalling nearly 34 million combined, games that helped draw in non-traditional players. Pokemon again features heavily, with three pairs including Diamond and Pearl at 17.67 million. The mix of mainstream franchises and lifestyle titles explains how the DS became one of the best-selling systems in history. Values fall gradually from about 30.8 million to 11.06 million with no single dominant outlier.
