Considering the rate of dog-choking going on, we're actually getting a fair number of decent DS games lately.
So at the rate of one good game for every fifty dog chokers I figured there's plenty of DS games that don't deserve a thread but yet something more encompassing could be useful.
Planning to order Game Center CX, looks solid enough from a 1 Up segment a few months ago. Also intrigued by these but haven't heard anything positive or negative:
From the Abyss: Action-RPG

The Super Bullet!! Custom Tank- 2D action with tanks

I believe Jaleco has a 2D ninja action game out or due out soon, looked interesting enough. *-neo
Nearly every system -- save maybe the abnormally consistent Dreamcast -- has tons and tons of crap. It shouldn't affect even a casually informed consumer. I mean, I honestly don't even ever really think about that stuff. I skip the ads and previews in magazines, and my eyes glide over the boxes in the store. It's like that stuff isn't even there for me. There are just way too many genuinely interesting games, and not enough time in the day, for anyone to pay attention to the third tier and below titles.
Well this is it exactly, Nintendo's lack of quality control fosters this kind of junk. Have yet to pick one up yet, but the PSP clearly has a overall higher level of software quality. Given the DS massive library I'm sure there's some gems hidden in there, but for every Contra 4 you have 10 Orcs and Elves or Whack A Moles. *-neo
You're just not paying attention.

A few more that look interesting:
Exit DS: A action game that probably could benefit from two screens, shame the top seems used only for a map. I'd be tempted to import it but seems a likely choice for localization.

Fist of the Northstar: This looks nuts, you seem to use Elite Beat Agent gameplay to slaughter characters from the anime.

Miami Nights: Singles in the City: Hate to say it I enjoyed Sprung for it's goofy 80's movie plot, this game by Ubisoft sounds like a sequel....until I saw some screens.
Exit's merely decent on PSP and 360. I doubt the DS version will be much dfferent.
