Do you know how many DS games there are? Let us get out our calculators ... with our instruments we've reached the conclusion that the total is a lot. You heard it here first.What genre, though, do you think needs to take a break from the DS? Whether it's because there's a glut of such titles or because you hate that type of game, which genre do you think needs to be abandoned for a while?

Those games designed for "girl gamers" by Ubisoft. Stop them, they're so sexist against us. And all of the joke training games are getting thin, so they should be stopped, too. Abuse some other successful handheld!

I was just going to put down "Anything made by UbiSoft" but that's a good summation of my thoughts on the subject.

Any type of shovelware. Imagine, *z, SimpleDS, poor ports, training games etc. I also think FPS-games should stay off the platform. They just don't work!
To flip the question; what genres need more games?
RTS. Strategy games work extremely well with touch screen controls.

ANY kind of casual game. No more virtual pets, puzzle games, brain trainers, or any more of that crap. If people want to play causal games they should just play the ones on their computers. Leaving gaming to real gamers.

RTS games. There are way too many of those. It seems as if every respectable RPG game/series is being turned into an RTS or two or three. Stop it already. We can never have too many RPGs, but no one needs more than a few RTSs.

I agree.
And ironically, there are is no really good chess game on the DS, but about a thousand strategy games.
Just give me chess. That's all I really want. Chessmaster DS. Come on. Battlechess DS? Lego Chess? Anything!

As an RPG enthusiast, I must say that you offend me, good sir.
If anything, I say MORE RPGs. In North America, at least. Just throw a couple more JRPGs into the English market. I think our lives would be vastly improved with some Xenogears 1 & 2, really.

Yes, more JRPGs please! And more RTS too, I don't know what's wrong with the above posters. I wouldn't mind a complete lack of X training games though.

Agree with the general consensus here. Any casual shovelware; training games (be they brain, language, weight-loss, etc), baby games and pet games can piss off.
A good start would be to ban Ubisoft from making DS games/z.

Good games. I'm sick and tired of stuff like TWEWY and NSMB and FFTA2 and Mario Kart. Please, give the good games a rest, developers.

The shelves have been pretty stocked with terrible games as of late. It doesn't bother me, but I could really go for more action games.
