Nintendo World Report highlights the best of the year that was.
Enter the Nintendo DS. This year, our first category for the handheld is the NWR Award for Best DS Sound. Those dual speakers get put to the best use in the game we bestow this honor onto.
The spirit of Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! lives on in the English version of the import sensation. Though the Americanized soundtrack may have perturbed some die-hards, the game is so much fun to play that it turns the music into something special. When the entire experience is centered around the audio, it had better be pretty damn good. Thankfully for us, it was.
Runner-up: Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Konami knows how to make a game sound good. Many consider the music in the Castlevania series to be some of the company's best work. Portrait of Ruin is no exception, and so it gets the number two slot behind the runaway winner.
