What in your opinion have been the DS's most overhyped games?
I'd say Nintendogs was pretty overhyped, as well as New Super Mario Bros. It was too short; still loads of fun, just too short.

I don't know many DS that have been overhyped, but the new C&C Series on PC and Xbox360 by EA games is overhyped!
Elite Beat Agents...ugh. That game got such good reviews, and it was some of the most boring gameplay I've ever experienced.
New Super Mario Bros. was pretty annoying too.
New Super Mario Borthers didn't seem short to me. Way too easy, but not too short. I think the FF remakes are overhyped. That gameplay hasn't changed and feels outdated.jimkabrheli played final fantasy IV, for first time on the ds, and it was a really good game, and it doesnt is a outdated game, remember that always new gamers come and need to be introduced to a franchise, and what a good way with a remake of a great game. Agree with twewy
Mario Kart DS. I loved previous Mario Kart games, but this one didn't strike me as anything special and I wasn't addicted to it in the slightest sense! Just failed to see what was so amazing about it.EyeShatteredSky
huh. i really liked that one. to me it felt like after double dash (which wasnt too great) mario kart was getting back to its roots. i had friends to play with though, which adds to the fun a great deal.

ComboTroop
...? those arent even really hyped that much. i havent seen anyone talking about them.
Portrait of Ruin and Ninjatownnintendoboy16
I didn't see Ninjatown hyped that much. I thought it was underrated IMO.
But I will agree on Portrait of Ruin and Nintendogs.
i am really amazed that no one said this yet, but POKEMON IS OVERHYPED. i played all the pokemon games and diamond and pearl just wasnt...good. i didnt see new things. it was the same stuff lik you get badges and a legendary pokemon and you battle an evil organization. Also, i agree on the final fantazsy games, especially 3 because its just too slow and i got so bored of it.sonicfan1012No one said pokemon was overhyped because it wasn't. It was even advertised as the same as usual with a few upgrades. FF3 just was a bad game.

Agree.
Agree also.
Why? I don't get it? Its a good game (my opinion). I didn't think it was 'overhyped'. It wasn't really well known before release (what I recalled).

Agreeing with this. Most pretentious game of the year, also. It was fun, the first time through, but held ZERO replay value. And don't give me that "secret reports" crap, that's what GameFAQS is for. I forced myself to play TWEWY just so I could unravel the story. The backtracking was not fun, the combat was very glitchy, and the music was obnoxious. Playing TWEWY again was like trying to watch The Sixth Sense again; it was great the first time, but after seeing the big twist, experiencing it again just wasn't worth my time.Also, Order of Ecclesia was very lacking... the art style was nice and the boss battles were excellent, but that was about it. I preferred Portrait of Ruin. Or, better yet, Symphony of the Night...

Hmmm... perhaps you're right. The music IS unplesant but the Japanese ones weren't that bad. Yep, ZERO replay value. What do you mean combat is glitchy? Yeah, TWEWY could have just gotten 8 or 8.5
The World Ends With Youcanary7
Agree.
Agree also.
This has got to be it. How can a game that goes battle Cut scene battle Cut scene be so good? I was mad I brought that game. I would have not been so mad if you could skip the Cut scene's but even if you seen it then died you have to watch it again.[QUOTE="Burning-Sludge"][QUOTE="Lynx777"]Agree.

And there really isn't a lot of 'cut screens' but plenty of reading. TWEWY has a very decent story and you have to appreciate it and appreciate literacy.
I mean the command recognition was even worse than Okami's brush gimmick.Hmmm... perhaps you're right. The music IS unplesant but the Japanese ones weren't that bad. Yep, ZERO replay value. What do you mean combat is glitchy? Yeah, TWEWY could have just gotten 8 or 8.5

Chrono Trigger and The World Ends With Youforgot_it
Thats pretty bold to say because both of those games are highly talked about. I just got Chrono Trigger a few days ago for my new DS lite and its the first time I have ever played Chrono Trigger. It is a really great game IMO and obviously has stood the test of time and is still great, so it can't be overhyped. TWEWY didn't seem like it was overhyped, there wasn't very much going around about that game until it came out and everyone thought it was a great game. I have tried it but don't own it and it was pretty good imo.
Nintendogs did seem a little overhyped and it seems like the castlevania games get hyped quite a bit to.
I'm not sure about before TWEWY came out but at the moment, the hype for the game is extremely high, I got the game recently and even though it is a really fun game that breaks out of the mold, it isn't as amazing as people are currently making it out to be. As for Chrono Trigger, certain aspects of the game have stood the test of time and others not so much. The story and the musical score is top notch but the visuals are really holding the game back. The game has a lot of strong emotional moments but with scrolling text and tiny sprites you don't feel the full effect. A game like Chrono Trigger deserves a proper overhaul and the DS port does not do it justice.Thats pretty bold to say because both of those games are highly talked about.
