DS Game Catalog

The DS Game Catalog is a quick way to browse through all of the Nintendo DS games that have been released into the retail market. You can access the DS Game Catalog from the Tools menu. Once you enter the screen, you will get the Catalog window.

As you can see, on the left side you have your game list, and on the right side is all the details. Each game in the game list has a small flag beside it to represent the country that the game came from. Underneath the game list is a field that you can type in to find a game. After typing what you are looking for, press the Enter key and your results will be filtered. To filter your results even further, there are multiple dropdown menus to filter down to a specific country, genre, etc.

Here is an example of what the DS Game Catalog shows when a game is selected.

As you can see, a lot of information is shown about the game, right down to the ROM version of the game released! One thing that should be mentioned, is that Game Icon will only show up if the game has been added to your game list and has had its icon retrieved. If there is no icon, then the icon will not show up.

That’s not all though! If you enable Metacritic Scores and Descriptions from the Preferences/Settings, the DS Game Catalog is expanded to show the Metacritic data. If an entry exists at Metacritic, the score and description will automatically be downloaded from their server and displayed in the catalog for the selected game.

As you can see, the DS Game Catalog is a great way to see all of the information about a game, as well as a quick description and average score for the selected game. If you are unsure of which game to buy next, this can definitely help!
