The DS is incredibe...... BUT

Their upcoming game line up..... is horrible. There are only like a good idk ... maybe 10 games or less coming out this year actually worth our money. It seems as if they are just putting games out there to make their game library grow.... -___-

It really bothers me.... to go to my local gamestore and i am just nodding my head as i browse through the selection.... my eyes occasionaly view the greats... such as final fantasy.... some of the srpgs... mario ... etc etc... Actually... don't get me wrong.. there are alot of games that are good for the ds. But the ratio is like 1:15 .... i think it's just getting ridiculous... to game makers strongly believe that they are going to make money by making this...

idk if this is out yet... but it looks bad

well... anyways.... you get the idea......

to me... there are just far too many of these games on the shelf........

do these people actually make money off of this?!?!?!?!?! idk... i know it's great for kids and all... but i never see a kid go ballznomick over these games.....

i've seen kids pour out there piggy banks for the next pokemon or digimon or yugioh.... not PETZ or zack and cody.... i'm just using these titles since it's easy to pick on them... and they are the most obvious and annoying to see.

anyways... later...

ah.... ok i feel better...

i just had to say that.. ha...

sorry if i wasted any of you fellow gamespot members time.

simple awnser...aviod the shovelware, look into the DSes older library, and ninja gaiden is right around the corner

Only ten games? How much money do you spend on games?

im sick of all the bad radied and crappy games for ds like for exaple fffct gameinformer gave it a 6.5 and all my friends think it was a great game it incoureg my friend to get a ds (agan)and ther are like no good games i only have 4 games 5 if u count the ds broser a game NINTENDO MAKE SOME NEW DS GAMES THAT ARE GOOD.......................ps DS IS RULES pss dont trust zphg it broke my ds light

Some of these games are already out but since they were released in 2008 I included them, also some have a TBA 2008 so games like DQ and KH might be released in the US in early 2009, but they maybe released in 2008. Also it's the last day of February, E3 hasn't even come. There will be alot more titles coming.

wow big deal, you think all systems/portables are gonna have mature and the BEST upcoming line-up. i dont think so, so just deal with it. btw, why do you even care if they are any crappy games coming up? forget them and move on...ChiddaPotta

Yeah, I agree, portables suck.

Yeah I agree. There's not many games I'm psyched up for; but the good games that DS does have are honestly amazing games that you won't find anywhere else. There are times where I wish I had bought a PSP instead but I think the DS has better original titles where as the PSP mostly uses games from PS2 into a game for PSP. Nothing against those PSP games, they're great but I'd prefer original titles.

I'm only looking foward to like 7 games this year. Trust me, I've looked.

WOW, 5 crappy ds games... and? deal with it.

sigh.. i don't think some of the people here are getting my point.

keebthesquee

Unless you're forced to get those games you don't have much of a point

As with all systems there are junk games and you can't change that but most people can sort out what is good and what is bad just by looking at them and checking websites like this.

The ratio of good games to bad ones does not entirely decide wheather it is a good or bad platform it just shows :twisted:individual companies:twisted: trying to make a quick buck.

I see the crappy games, but I don't let it get to me. I chuckle and then feel bad for all the people that choose to buy those game either for themselves unknowingly or that buy them for their nephews/nieces/grandchildren, not knowing that the kids will play for five minutes and realize it's crap, or not even open it so they can return it for something else.

Actually, that's how I got the original Spyro for PS1. I sold some Bugs Bunny game my formerly crazy (not medically) aunt got me one Christmas (97? 98? Probably 98.). I knew right away I wanted to get rid of it, that I wasn't going to play it.

Just some of the titles I'm looking forward to.

what hes saying does sound pretty true. lots of ds games out now just look like they suck and were made for 2 year olds.Joshunar

Because that's there target audience. Not nintendo, the companies making these games. It doesnt bother me though because there are 30-50 good games out there/coming out this year.

yea when the ds first came out ther were some great games coming out(metroid, advance wars etc) but now they seem to have died down a bit, hopefully we get some more soon, the coming final fantasy games hopefully wont dissapointaerisol

Metroid really shouldn't even have the metroid name on the cover. single player sucked, and no metroids! theyre was a new advance wars that just came out. Also tons of great games came out in 07 and were only two months into 08 wait till march april may, and then aug-dec. We'll get a lot of games.

LOL to zack and cody... i saw that on the shelf at wal mart and i was like... are you kidding me? now that they have 'horse pet' or whatever... i wonder what's next on there line.... i can see it now... COWZ... where you can milk your own cow and love it until you kill it then eat it... on your DS of course, use the stylus to cut the meat and feed yourself, don't drop the meat on the floor though!Nehine

lolololololol hahahahaha....... lolster.org...

nice one.

well, nintendo dogs was really famous now wasnt it? I blame you americans for letting such a silly game with one of the worst animals be the DS's top selling game. you and your "man's best friends" thing going all around.

anyway it doesnt matter, as many have already stated there are a ton of good games coming out, it'll be too much for most people in america to afford even. I dont think the tc knows what he's talking about, thinking only 10 good games exist so far and such...

isnt it like this on any system. look at the good games that came out or are going to come out this year, just off the top of my head; prof layton, ninja gaiden, assasins creed(decent), final fantasy, insecticide, advance wars, star wars. and remember, from the time a ds game is anounced and when it actually comes out is only about a month because they can make games so quick for it because there just put onto flash cards. and i dont think psp owners can be laughing, i was considering getting a psp instead of my ds, but look at the psp lineup. what good games do they have coming out that arent just going to be ported over to my great ps2 in 4-5 months.JGram33

Yeah..

There's a lot of crappy games for the the DS because its so easy to make games for it..

I believe that the largest game file size for a DS game is 128 MB.. which fits so easily to its flash game cartridge..

Game developers don't have to spend a lot of money in creating NDS games..

And that's the reason why they can keep creating piles of junk for the DS without losing profit..

They wouldn't call it "Nintendo Developers' System" for nothing.. right..?

of course some games were good like zelda, prof layton, metroid, dementium and not so many others and i dont care if they were a game that ends with Z coming out each day cause i'll just never buy them but what bothers me its that the ds isnt use in all the potential it has, most of the game coming out are 32mb and the biggest ive seen is 512mb

And when you look at how the ds is doing in japan, with great games like soma bringer, tales of innocence, jump ultimate stars, etc and with usefull thing like kanji training, receipte book, drink receipies, tourist guide, even a wine almanach, it only proves it can be made

I feel the same way i go to the local zellers there are a BUNCH of really crappy i really try to avoid it wait 4 something better to come out

whatever happened to the good old days when people bought 2-3 games a year that actually took a year to beat because they were so ******* hard. Now developers are plagued by competition and time...basically to make a quick buck. gokuofheaven

i know!!! and the new zelda was terrible... controls were great though. company's are forgetting what makes good games. now they're just selling junk games. with all the stupid kid games coming out you'd swear they had 5 year old kids making video games in north america. they should just release a bunch of hit titles from the N64 onto the DS... but i guess making games that include barbie and horses and dogs makes more sense to some people. even though i'm pretty sure that most people who own a DS are males between 10-20. (just guessing)

by that i just meant that there's all these little kids games out now, and it just seems like they could be doing some real cool games instead of making a lot of cheezy ones. i know they're aimed at children, but i guess this is nintendo we're talking about, and nintendo is aimed at everyone. oh well, i guess we'll just have to ignore the cheezy games instead of complaining about them
