The quality of this lineup is astounding. Jump Super Stars is reportedly very very good, and we have what might be the best game released in July - Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Considering the DS has not even been out a year, the quality of games out right now in this amount of time (at least I think) is unparalelled for a system. Nintendogs, Kirby, Full Metal Alchemist, Jump Super Stars, Power Pocket Koushien, Famicon Wars, Caudeceus, a ton of awesome games. It's too bad I can't understand one lick of Japanese, or else I would be important games like crazy. I have to give it up for Nintendo; they didn't even go this balls out for the GameBoy Advance.

Why not have an appreciation thread? You all knew what this thread was about before you went in it.Speaking of Jp only DS titles that are good...
I didn't want to derail the Ouendan thread, but what is with the Daigassou dislike? While I don't own Ouendan, I am glad that it's better than Daigassou. Can't really complain about having more good games. But I do own Daigassou and I think it's great. Sure it's a rhythm game stripped down to the essentials and it could use a few more songs, but on Pro mode, things get pretty darn frantic. I've still not beaten it yet.
It may not be the best rhythm/music game ever, but it does have the twist in that you can play the same song in 8 different ways (ie different music parts) which is very charming in of itself. The only complaint I have is that the DS is an ergonomic nightmare. If the sides were more curvy like the original GBA, it'd be fine but I hate the rectangular crap of GBASP/DS. In games that require fast and accurate shoulder button presses, the straight edge really hurts your hands.

I agree about Band Bros. hurting the hands on Pro mode, and it needing curved edges. The blunt edges dig into the palms like a dull knife or something. I actually hated the game for a few days after unlocking Pro mode and stopped playing it for about a week.
On Ouendan, is the replay value very good? This has always had me concerned and leaning more on getting JSS or just forgetting both and waiting for AW

By "pulling a Reggie" you cannot mean its good. Cause the US line up still sucks monkey ass. You have to import to have more than 1-2 games that are worthwhile IMO.

I have put in more time this year on my DS than my Xbox and Cube combined (Famicon Wars at 50+ hours already!!)
I agree the DS lineup JP kicks ass, a little too much becuase its starting to get too expensive for me to keep up with the hits.
