I think the ds has potential that hasn't been tapped yet, most good games seem to be ports w/ some new features. Bleach came out but the fighting genre still seems weak. The rpg genre is pathetic, especially the mana games. What is a good shooter? Metroid prime? When did that come out lol. Seriously where are the new games! It's been a few years already, where are the new original titles, the new "golden suns" and "fire emblems" of this generation? How many times can they freaking port over final fantasys and call it a new game.

DECENT RPG's, We need a Golden Sun 3, some Fire Emblem, or things of that calibur quality.

Some strategy's beyond Advance Wars would be nice, love advance wars, but we need more strategy games

Fighting games. I think Ds is already full of RPGs ( ASH, Fina fantasy 3,4, dragon quest4, 9, fire emblem, and etc)

There's only 5 fighting games for the DS that I know, and that's Guilty gear dust strikers, bleach, bleach 2nd, JUS, JS. Seeing how well the bleach game goes, we should realy have a good fighting game. I want more GOOD fighting games....

strategy for sure. advance wars and age of kings were both terrible games. panzer tactics might bring life to the genre.

What about car racing game? We need more racing games beside Mario kart and NfS ProStreet.

Yeah i agree that DS need more FPS games, havn't try one yet, and I can't find Metriod Prime Hunter. But there should be Metriod Prime 2 DSor a sequel.

GamesI'm really looking forare the US release of It's a Wonderful World, ASH, Dragon Quest 9, and the next Castlevania game, which they are developing now.

Stop with the SRPG of Final Fantasy and revision parts like Final Fantasy3 and 4.

Final Fantasy 7 or/and 8 would be awesome.

Ok so mostly all I want is Wifi FPS and racing games

i agree with the FPS. something GOOD please. (and can we incorporate wi-fi, for goodness sake?... *cough* dementium.. *cough*).

...and i 2nd the notion on super mario RPG, although i hear 'mario & luigi-b.i.t.' is pretty good. not like we need ANOTHER RPG port.

It seems that each generation, gameboy, gameboy color, game boy advance and ds is getting only one major franchise per generation. gbc- pokemon r/b/y, gba- s/r/e ds- d/p and gb- link's awakening, gbc- oracle of ages/seasons, gba- minish cap, ds- phantom

I havnent seen one good fighting game out for DS that I would really buy. I'd have to say that the fighting genre needs to be streched a bit more because many people are expecting fightng games out of the DS and their needs are not being fulfilled!

RPG's. Odd pick because there are quite a few in development and other genres are lacking. My reasoning is quite simple, many of the games that aren't on the DS aren't missed because they aren't suited to the system for various reasons, whereas RPG's are a good fit for the system and yet big hitting JRPG's are mysteriously absent.

I think you'll find virtually all consoles are lacking those unless you are counting download releases for the homeconsoles. But I'd agree, that too is something the DS like the GBA before it, is quite suited to, and as a result their absence is all the more pronounced.

I see! FF3 and Contra are definitely examples of that. Too bad Final Fantasy III had one of the worst Final Fantasy stories and it could not find a way to keep us entertained while being hard at the same times (the only real way to beat some parts of the game was to level grind which could be as boring as heck)
