Etrian Odyssey III(must have Great)

SMT: SJ(Must have great)

If you really are Oldschool, Retro Game Challenge is awesome.

Disgaea

Fire Emblem

New SMB

Dragon Quest 5(yea good luck on trying to find a copy for much cheaper then 60$, for some reason, Square decided to make that game have a super limited print run)

If you're looking for a more traditional dungeon Crawler/RPG, get The Dark Spire.

That combined with what you already listed, should keep you backlogged for a long time.

[QuickSciFi]

I don't think I have that many myself. To me, it has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I usually go for 2D sidescrollers, or 2D games in general (including RPGs). I'd go with 3Dish RPGs as well.


At any rate, all that comes to mind is:

Contra 4
SMBs DS
Astro Boy
Aliens in the Attic

P.S.> Try adding this one to your list. It was recommended to me not long ago and I bought it myself instantly.

The Legend of Kage 2

also:

The Dark Spire
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Phantasy Star 0

[GohanX]

The Phoenix Wright series is my favorite DS series, also the Professor Layton games are good brain teasers disguised as adventure games.

Everyone should get Elite Beat Agents, it's cheap and awesome. It was my DS Lite's killer app, seriously. Play with good headphones and a screen protector.

A few things:

B-17: Fortress in the Sky is pretty bad.

Mage Knight and Math Blaster are crap.

Meteos is one of the best DS puzzlers.

Chronos Twin has only seen a european release at this point in time. Something to consider if you're buying your games.

Top Gun DS Why would you want this pos?

Sonic Rush Adventure is also crap. However, if you're a Sonic fan you should get it anyway, as well as Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

Star Wars Battlefront isn't so hot either. Get Star Wars Episode III if you desperately seek a decent Star Wars experience. It's pretty much the only good Star Wars game on the DS.

Astro Boy DS is horrible. Get the GBA version instead, it's one of the best platformers on the system.

Aliens in the Attic also not recommendable, unless you reeeeeaaaally liked the movie.

What genres of games are you into/not into?
I'm guessing you're into shmups, since your list has quite a few mediocre ones in it.
Nanostray, Nanostray 2 and Ketsui: Death Label are the 3 best shmups on the system. All three have the oldschool 16-bit vibe going on, but only Ketsui manages to be better than the average Genesis shmup. There is just not much choice out there for shmup lovers on the DS.
Space Invaders Extreme (1 and 2) are also heavily recommendable to a shmup addict.
Don't confuse with Space Invaders Revolution, which is an atrocity and should be avoided.

Your list is missing every good JRPG and (J) action adventure game, does this mean you don't want those?

Aside from this, your list looks good.
We need more info on your likes and dislikes though, to make better recommendations.

iCarly

'sup with this? Second time I see that on your list.
Why on earth would you recommend this to anyone?

I actually like that one. Sure, it's a licensed title, and it's a minigame collection, but it's actually kinda fun. Although it would make sense if this were kenshin's list (he did ask for some kids' games). So I don't know why.

Although I do like the show in which it's based on, so it may be recommended for fans of it.

[Genesis#1FanGirl]

You should add on Sonic Colors i find it to be way better then the Sonic Rush series Pretty cool list I'm also wanting to get my hands on a copy of Chrono Trigger DS for awhile now :/

[Waterfaller]

Mega Man Zero Collection, for the Mega Man fanatic. Elite Beat Agents is also ridiculously fun!

If you like point and click adventures, then look no further than Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory.

[Count Dracura]

The Professor Layton series is pretty fun.

[OldSchool]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
