Missing Something?

I've really enjoyed my DS ever since i bought it. Every game i have has pretty much been completed to its fullest but now im getting a little bored. The problem now is that when i look in my collection i just dont see enough variety and if i were to pick one genre that was not being represented properly i would have to say that racing games are difficult to come by. Not just normal racing games either, i need good racing games. If you look at al nintendos other handhelds and consoles you see a healthy number of racing games, F-zero, wave race, 1080, mario kart, but so far all we have on the DS is the latter and a couple of fairly bland racing titles including ridge racer and asphalt gt. Sure we have that create-a-race game coming soon but to be honest a new f-zero or similar racing game would be much more appreciated. I was told that hover racing games really died in the late nineties and that only f-zero and wipeout survived because of their cult status so why hasnt Nintendo let its best hovercraft franchise grace the DS? Anywone got any thought?

P.S. Why are Nintendo and retrostudios giving us mixed signals about metroid dread?

yeah, i was thinking about that too. i know that my DS has been really good but whenever i look at the game library/genre, there's this feeling that there is something missing: more racing games. there's still time for good racing games to come out. and F-Zero? i guess that'll be one of Nintendo's secret weapons... let's just wait for now. i'm pretty sure it'll come out somewhen. well, it came out for the GBA, didn't it? so, there's no big reason for it not to come out for DS.

you guys never once mentioned mario kart for the ds. that game' great. theres some racing game with a wolf and the pictures kinda looked like a hover game.Joshunar

Yes, i did mate. If you read the first post again you should see that i clearly say mario kart and then say that apart from mario kart there are no descent racers on the DS. The reason no one else mentioned it was because my post wasnt addressing the fact that mario kart was great. My post is addressing the distinct lack of good racers on the DS.

F-zero on the DS would be nice, espicially for the Wifi play. Would make F-zero bigger then it is now.WSGRandomPerson

If they did do it i hope they would add the ring of death and the random course generator.
