DS Games

So, I'm starting this thread because I'd really like a list of great DS games. Even though I've had the system since a month after Launch, I recently realized how few quality games I've played on it. Don't get me wrong I've played the thing a ton and have around 15-18 games for it but most of those games aren't that great. I mean some of them I haven't touched since the first time I played them and others have absolutely zero re-play value. On the really quality side there's NSMB, and Castlevania. Then, there is the class of games like Yoshi's Island DS (which is okay to good. I mean Yoshi's Island DS is not great by any means but it's better than most of the other crap that's come out on the DS). And then there are games like Yoshi: Touch and Go and Nintendogs, which were fun for like a few hours but then became boring at best. And then there is just crap, like Wario Ware Touched. I stil can't believe I payed for price ($35) for it. The game doesn't even deserve the title Wario Ware. I got over 100 levels on several of the minigames simply be rubbing the stylus on the screen while not even looking at it. And it kind of made me not want to get the new one for the Wii. And then there is the 3rd party crap, that's not even as high quality as Wario Ware Touched. So, I guess I'm asking did I miss all the good games or did I just have this false idea that the DS was an absolutely amazing handheld system and now I'm finally realizing it isn't. Not that the PSP or GBA are fairing that much better in terms of quality games. Maybe I just expect to much from portables now or maybe the handheld gaming market just isn't what it used to be.
