Best DS Fighting Games of All Time

We already published the list of best DS games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best DS fighting games of all time.

With amazing titles available, the DS definitely has a great library of fighting games.

So, if you’re a fan of both the DS and fighting games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.

And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.

#10. Guilty Gear Dust Strikers

Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
  • Release Data: Arc System Works/THQ, 2006
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Dust Strikers removes a sense of control that gave the original games their depth and challenge and kept people coming back for more.

Instead, Dust Strikers just throws together some components that have worked in other games, and hopes for the best.

#9. DreamWorks Shrek SuperSlam

DreamWorks Shrek SuperSlam
  • Release Data: Amaze Entertainment/Activision, 2005
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Due to the game’s nature and lack of variety, Shrek SuperSlam is not for everyone.

But if you’re a kid who loves Shrek or if you have a kid who loves Shrek, you can’t go wrong
with this title.

DreamWorks has attached their movies to a lot of game properties and Shrek is the best of the bunch.

#8. Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble

Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble
  • Release Data: Takara Tomy, 2011
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Overall, the game is alright, with a nice mix of high and low points.

It isn’t anything special, but if you have a few hours to kill, and a love for Japanese anime and manga, you may want to check out this game.

#7. Naruto: Ninja Destiny

Naruto: Ninja Destiny
  • Release Data: DreamFactory/Takara Tomy, 2008
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Ninja Destiny is certainly a game most fighting fans will go back to.

It could also be the first time young gamers discover the genre, and with its addictive gameplay, they’re likely to stick with the genre from here on out.

But this isn’t a game for the hardcore fans, so consider this a great anime fighter.

#6. Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2

Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2
  • Release Data: Arc System Works/Bandai, 2005
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 is still OK, but considering the orders of magnitude by which the first Supersonic Warriors improved upon the gag-inducing Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu, it’s disappointing how superficial the changes found here are.

Those satisfied with more of the same, along with marginally improved visuals, will do fine with Supersonic Warriors 2.

#5. Draglade

Draglade
  • Release Data: Dimps Corporation/Banpresto, 2007
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Draglade is a brilliant marriage of music and fighting.

It’s not the game’s built-in soundtrack that you’ll care about, but rather the custom beat combos you can create yourself.

After you improve your own combo, you’ll want to improve your fighting skills to open up more opportunities to use it.

If you like fighting games, you’ll definitely like Draglade.

#4. Custom Robo Arena

Custom Robo Arena
  • Release Data: Noise Inc./Nintendo, 2007
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Overall, Custom Robo is a somewhat flawed game, with its bland story and somewhat lacking Adventure Mode.

However, with its fantastic customization options, engaging battle mode and great multiplayer, this can be easily overlooked.

Gamers will find in this something which is really fun and which will keep players occupied for many hours.

#3. Ultimate Mortal Kombat

Ultimate Mortal Kombat
  • Release Data: Other Ocean Interactive/Midway, 2007
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

If you’re a DS-owning Mortal Kombat fan, this is a great offering that’s certainly worth owning, but only if you’re properly equipped to take your DS online.

You probably won’t want to play alone for more than 15 minutes, so be sure to take that into account before you get this one.

#2. Bleach: Dark Souls

Bleach: Dark Souls
  • Release Data: Treasure/Sega, 2008
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Bleach: Dark Souls may not completely innovate on its predecessor.

However, more finely-tuned balance, along with a ton of new cards, abilities, and characters make this game a worthy game for veterans, as well as newbies.

Even taking into account other fighters and Game Boy Advance compatibility, this is arguably one of the best DS fighting games.

#1. Bleach: The Blade of Fate

Bleach: The Blade of Fate
  • Release Data: Treasure/Sega, 2007
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

The Blade of Fate is not only the best Bleach game but it’s also the best DS fighting game.

The game is loyal to the anime and pays homage to classic 2D fighting games all in one neat portable package.

Even if you’re not a Bleach fan, this is the DS game fighting enthusiasts should not miss at all.

About

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
