DS Daily: Desensitized to greatness

As DS gamers, we're often exposed to the best and brightest gaming content around. Sometimes it's just so much, though, that we find it hard to get excited for a game that we know we should be ecstatic over. It's pretty tiring when you're enthusiastic about a game system that just receives amazing title after amazing title.
What about you all? Is there a game or games, upcoming or already released, that you felt this way about? A game that you knew tickled your fancy and met all of the criteria for being "good" in your eyes, yet you couldn't really muster up the appropriate levels of excitement about?

The World Ends With You. It's hard to get excited when everyone at school talks about Kingdom Hearts, yet they never even heard of this gem.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
I was really excited when I heard this was coming out, then the excitement kind of died down since I realized that it was a major turn for the series.
It came out, and I love it still, despite the drop in excitement.
It plays well, is well balanced, and challenging.

Lots of titles like that for me. The World Ends With You, Advance Wars: DoR, FFCC: Ring of Fates, Ninja Gaiden, even Dragon Quest IX... the list goes on and on. They're all great games, and I know I'd have tons of fun with them, but I just can't muster up the excitement. I blame my limited time and budget. There's no point getting worked up over a game you can't afford/won't have time to play.

Hmm, I'm pretty stoked about Shiren right now. It's like 90% of what I love about classic roguelikes, but with a gentler, more consistent learning curve, and some awesome 16 bit era graphics and music.
Still looking forward N+ and now the Korg DS-10, which won't suddenly make me a musician, but I can dream, can't I?
