ESSENTIAL GAME
Art Academy
While the DS has plenty of classic games, one of the most notable things about the console was its range of non-gaming releases such as Cooking Guide and 100 Classic Book Collection. Of these, Art Academy stands out as a piece of software that really benefits from the DSi XL, simply because the extra screen space functions as a larger canvas. The game also offers benefits to DSi users in the form of a camera mode, allowing you to snap photos to use as references for your own creations.
