Because the only 'Anime-to-game' game that was fun in any way was Pokemon Yellow...

Anime, movie, TV shows converted into games, 99% of the time, suck. And with a handheld, these things are much more common.

But, do tell, tell me why Mario Kart, NSMB, SM64DS, MP:H, Advanced Wars DS, Animal Crossing, both Castlevania games, Yoshis Island 2, Elite Beat Agents, Lunar Knights, and all the other games suck... Or are you making an invalid decision for all the game because some third party maker made a crappy Final Fantasy rip off of a, in my opinion, crappy anime?

The vast majority of games on any system ever released are complete crap. That's just how it goes. Considering that the DS has only been out a little over 2 years it has a very decent library (which is to say, maybe 15 really good games).

If anything it's the 3rd party devs that have been making the original games. All I've seen from Nintendo are their same old games with unnecessary touchscreen controls tacked on.

Blame the developers, not the system. If you think every DS game is bad (or 'most') then you're just playing the wrong games :) play Lunar Knights :D

Uh...Just to clarify something : the Pokemon franchise originally started off as a game. It's the anime that's based on the game, not the other way around.

You're crazy if you think all the ds games are bad.Metroid Prime Hunters,Hotel Dusk,Trauma Center,Trace Memory and Mario Kart are only a few games that make the ds a great handheld.Plus the online play for ds games  are fun.

I have almost 30 games and I find them all to be pretty good except maybe one or two stinkers. I'm not sure what you're reffering to when you say all DS games are bad, maybe the DS just isn't for you. I'm honest when I say I play my DS more than I play all my other systems combines which includes pretty much everyone of them except the PSP and the PS3.

Yeah with every console or handheld ever made as well. It's not like every game is going to be superb.

Lets face it a lot of license stuff is pure garbage. Not all of it mind. Some of it is actually pretty good gotta keep in mind the audience it was generated for. Not everyone reads reviews. I read multiple ones to get a feel. Can I handle what the reviewers is whining about if so I consider purchasing the game. 90% of higher rated games tend not to be so fun as lower rated games. After all they aren't rating fun but the supposed art, etc of the game. The game could be the most soul sucking thing ever but get 90% due to art, graphics, story etc.

Im fully aware of that, Yellow was based off the Anime though...

This is also true with movies and cds. Alot of times it's easy to get fooled because a completely lousy movie will be #1 at the box office especially on opening weekend before people figure it out. (like that movie with John Travolta, Bill Macy and those other guys riding around on moterbikes)

     A lot of the top selling companies have made quality hand held titles.  The second tier companies (Elite Beat Agents, Point Blank DS, Sonic Rush) are hit or miss with a certain audience.  Bringing up the rear though...well  these games are usually broken and do not warrant the money spent on the project.  Its a lot like what we learned from the PS2, the more crappy titles that come out, the more developers spend money for a great project for that machine so they can recover the losses of the crappy game and the great game at once. 
                                               So without sounding cliche, get N or get out.

Personally I think that if you don't like the games you play then try something new. There are games on the DS for just about anyone. Ask around for other games you haven't played yet, and sure enough you will most likely find one that suits you. Don't just look at some of the games you've played and don't like, or even just look at the rating and assume that all the DS games are bad, and for that matter even if a game has a low rating doesn't mean you wont like it. If you can't find any game that you like, then clearly the DS isn't for you and in that case you should go get a GBA or PSP, if you don't already have one.

i think ever since the nintendo 64..games have been more bad then good..BUT the good games blow any other games for any other system out the water.

great DS games have been
- Super Mario Bros
- Yoshis Island
- Partners In Time
- Both Castlevanias
- Princess Peach
- Metroid Huners
- Metroid Pinball
- Mario Kart
- havent played March of the Minis but heard it was good
- im sure Zelda Phantom Hourglass will be good

no theres nothing wrong with the nintendo ds games it's just it takes a while to learn what the games are about and then if you practice enough (that go's for me to) you will learn what there really talking about lets take elite beat agents for instance you can in this game you can practice and then it gets better and you get better and then you learn what there talking about you see? and that goes for all of us and there will surely be games for all of us to enjoy.

its a stupid anime game. How could you expect it to be good at all? There are plenty of good DS games out there. Mario Kart Mario and Luigi Parteners in Time New Super Mario Bros Animal Crossing Wild World Cooking Mama Diddy Kong Racing Nintendogs (i dont care what you say, this game is sick) Metriod Prime Hunters Yoshi's Island Castlevania Games Harvest Moon DS Wario Ware Touched and every other game with the word Mario in it. Just because an anime game sucks doesn't mean all DS games suck

Well.. Not all games are bad.. Like Diddy Kong Racing DS got a 6.7... and I'd rather give it a 8 or a 9..  Just becuase some games get bad ratings doesnt mean there bad all the time. Really why would you care what a bias geeky Gamespot reviewer gave a game?

Thats total crap. "any system ever released," look at the PS2's library. There are tons of great games. Same goes with the SNES, and NES, and others. But I would have to agree there there are really no good games for the DS. They are few and far to find.

The PS2 library has a ton of crap games. Look up Phoenix games to start you on the quest to that realization.
