What serious "must have"s am I missing?

Kirby's Canvas Curse. Easily among the best DS games. Shiren the Wanderer is also pretty good. Better than Izuna, anyway.

I'd say:

The World Ends with You
Space Invaders Extreme
Game Center CX

EDIT: Megaman ZX- First game since the PSone/Saturn days that seemed any good.

Below is the list of what I currently own. What serious "must have"s am I missing? Extra points go to games that are especially niche-y / wacky / f-chany, but any good game is welcome. (Except Mario stuff, since it is hard to overlook that kind of thing.)

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales. One of my favorites on the system.

Oh yeah, Doshi reads japanese... you should definitely get Game Center CX, it's fun and pretty damned funny as well.

That's the one with the "retro games" that aren't actually retro games, right?

And you can read alternate-universe GameFan, apparently.

This isn't good. I just confirmed this for myself... the paddle controller does not work with the demo of Arkanoid DS available on the Nintendo Channel. Hopefully this is just a limitation of the demo. Squeenix wouldn't be stupid enough to rip out paddle support from the North American versions of Arkanoid DS and Space Invaders Extreme, would they? Would they?

[YellerDog]

Whuuut.

That's really, really dumb if so, and will cost them two sales from me.

[mollipen]

Arkanoid DS isn't really all that exciting anyhow, so no big loss if the US version is gimped.

[bVork]

Eh. I like it well enough, thanks to the paddle control. On the other hand, Nervous Brickdown (which can probably be found in bargain bins all over at this point) does a lot more creative things with Breakout gameplay.
