Is the life of the DS winding down?

The DS seems to be in a big drought. Zelda was the last game I bought for it, and there hasn't been much since or much on the horizon as far as quality games go. I know there have been Final Fantasy, Layton, and a few other good releases in the last couple months, but where are the 1st party games the system relies on? I know Guitar Hero is coming soon, but where the announcement for the big first party titles?

The could do another Mario Kart, SSB, Mario Golf, NSMB2, or something else. Is anyone else feeling like good games on the DS are becoming slim in the future? Does this point to Nintendo slowly phasing out the system to release something else in a year or two? When are we going to have something to look forward to?

Of course, but doomsday is near and approaching. It's only one of the best-selling console/cashcow Nintendo has right now.

But lo! 'Tis but a lull in the galestorm of Nintendo-goodness to be approaching, arr.

And ho! Fear not doubtful one, if Nintendo knows one thing, it's to take their time.

You know E3 hasn't happened yet, right? Wait til then for big announcements. I'm sure they'll blow us away.

And it's still selling like hotcakes (assuming hotcakes sell well) and there are always great games to get for it.

do you mean with new games, or do you mean new system?

What do you mean by 1st party? Like games made by Nintendo themselves?

I'll have to disargee with you, I feel there will be plenty of games that are soon to be coming out. In fact, I have a list of about 9-15 games that aren't even out yet that I want. That's not also including the games that are ready out that I can pick up. Though you may not be satisfied at the quality products that are bound to come, all I can say is, I am and I'm sure plenty of others have found something they want when it is finally released.

People need to stop posting these stupid threads.Minishdriveby

Maybe you just need to stop posting all together if you're not going to offer anything constructive to the topic. Honestly, no one is telling you to read this topic.

Anyway, can't people agree that ther is no announced big game on the horizon right now- especially a Nintendo published game? I know the DS has a huge back catalog and a plethora of good games though. Hopefully we will get a big announcement at E3. Thanks for all the input (except for the poster I just quoted of course).

Arknoid, Lego Indy & Batman, Grid, Destroy all humans (I think it's comming to DS) Sim City 2, Kingdom Hearts, hopefully follow ups to Mario, Zelda, & Ninja Gaiden as well. With E3 comming & the holiday season I remain hopefull, and I'm very picky about what I buy since I own most of the consoles and need to choose wisely. There are alot of "filler games" but the one's I named should raise some interest.

i think they will bring out a different style of game where you draw your world or something so as to make it better for now until they can bring out an add on to improve it.

it could just be easier to bring out a ds2 and make it more like the psp but with a touch screen and newer games and better graphics.

Are you kidding? This is going to be the DS's biggest year yet. Theres a Disgaea, Valkyrie profile, Fire Emblem, FFTA2, Summon Knights, Dragon Quest IX, etc....Big, big, year.

I've made constuctive posts in the last 3 threads that are exactly like this. You could read those if you want. I'm just so tired of this board being littered by all of these threads. First off Nintendo has already said that they have really no plan and that they are going to break the 5 year release new hardware cycle because of the DS, so no it's not winding down was that constructive enough????

Unless you're rich, you can't afford all the games worth playing on the DS.earthmonkeyyy

exactly.

Really ?? You think the life of the DS is whining down ?? Well , looks like I'm the exact opposite . I still have loads of great games that I want to play ( about 10-15 ) but I'm still not done with the games I have right now . And besides , the future of the DS is , if anything , looking awesome. We're definately gonna see a new Metroid game , a sequel to Phantom Hourglass , Ninja Gaiden , and so many other awesome games coming .

DS life whining down ?? pfft yeah BS ...

i thnk it will b dead soon. Lsdt game i bought was Advanced Wars Days of Ruin. Its ok, but i think that is they make a ds2, it should have better grahpiics

Rings of Fate is pretty fun, especially since i enjoyed Diablo, i enjoyed playing this with my friends.
Ninja Gaiden is also pretty fun, and i love how flashy it looks xD
Still waiting for F-Zero though.... Hope we get some news on it quick...
