Real Time Stratagey games. Um, yea I think the DS could use more. But one with any in game depth or any decent strategic value probably will not be made. Considering the system can handle little compares to other systems. Though I am enjoying turn based strategy games on the DS, because the games are quicker, and last about as long as a RTS game would.
I don't think many more should be tried after playing what the DS has to offer -- Revenant Wings, Heroes of Mana. Its fun, but it could hardly be called strategy. For a true strategy game like Starcraft or Age of Empires (if it was an RTS), you need to be able to move around units and such with precision, something the tiny screens don't allow -- unless you had a zoomed in camera, which would be considerably inconveniant. And then you consider that in most RTSes you have to be able multitask, something that seems impossible on such small screens. I'd say yes to Pikmin, which is a different case, but I couldn't see much else succeeding.
