I don't have a problem w/ any genres released on the DS or any other platform. The more games, the better. A game that doesn't appeal to you may be (and probably is) a game that appeals to many others.
Saying that they shouldn't release certain games on the DS because you don't like them is one of the stupidest, whiniest things I've ever heard. It's like saying no one should be allowed to publish non-fiction books because they suck and fiction is obviously better.
Not that I imagine many of the commenters here are into literature, based on their comments. There, I can be irrational, too.
BTW, Nintendogs? Pretty cool game. Just got it recently. I play it between sessions of No More Heroes.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying from the picture that I dislike Nintendogs, just that the pet sim genre has been done to death on the DS.
As for the rest, is there anything really wrong with some healthy discussion, even if it is more on the "whiney" side? It's just a question of oversaturation, really. A little healthy venting never hurt anyone :)

No more pet, fashion, or baby games PLEASE. It breaks my heart when I see parents suggesting that their kids buy these because it looks "fun."

I reckon pet games are alright... if done well. Nintendogs is an example of a great pet game. Imagine XXXXz is an example of FAIL.

There's well over 2000 DS games worldwide.
Anyway, I want REAL games. I'm tired of these "self-help" games.

Ubisoft should make self help games for themselves.
"How to Make a Good Game on DS: Gamer's Revenge" or something to that effect.

No more movie tie-in games. Though this is just a general problem, not specific to the DS, but still....you go into a video game store, they don't have anything but 90 copies of Kung Fu Panda or Wall E or whatever Monsters, Inc.
I'm also getting tired of all the strategy games. I like strategy games, but it's getting a bit silly when every week practically there's a new one. Release an RPG once in a while. It's okay.

Crap games! There are so many games released each week and the most if not all of them are ridiculously dumb movie-port games are the worst! or those stupid petz games... It has gotten ridiculous how low video game companies are getting.

Anything based on a TV show that doesn't intristically involve action[s], though with all the instrument/vocal-based games out there, things like Hanna Monsuck have an excuse to be on something with more inputs than on/off and volume/channel up/down.

Enough RPGs...or at least fewer of them. Lets face it, anyone who can afford to buy the hundreds of RPGs on the DS doesn't have time to play them all because they are working too much. And those who don't work too much probably can't afford them all. Whats an obsessive collector/gamer to do?

Japanese-only games.
Please, stop making new games and start translating(esp the Tales series). They can even do an English version first.
I know this is dumb but:
Almnost anyone who can afford a handheld can afford a PC and internet. It means they are somewhat familiar with the language, not to say very good. What age are we living in? The world is globalizing, English should be the first language for games.
Btw, I'm asian so dont think English is my mother tongue.

Please give the RPGs a rest - talk about a genre that's just about spent.
And there's way too many pet games. Not that there shouldn't be pet games, but a dog is a dog.
The DS needs more arcade-style games...Games that you can pick up, play for 15 minutes, and drop without having to worry.
