I hope one post is dedicated to Platformers.

If it lacks Sonic Rush, NSMB, The Legendary Starfy, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, N+ and Yoshi's Island DS. I will be sorely disappointed.

I'm trying to keep the genres more general. They are most likely going to be RPG, Adventure, Action-Adventure, Action, and Puzzle. Platformers go under action. Also all of those games will be there.

That's all the genres you'll be doing? How are you going to fit in strategy games(Advance Wars, Robocalypse, Lock's Quest), Rhythm/Music games(Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan, Jam Sessions, Guitar Hero, Electroplankton), Simulation games(Nintendogs, Theme Park, Trauma Center) and productivity titles(100 Classic Book Collection, Personal Trainer: Cooking, My Spanish Coach)?

Great job so far. Just asking about the low amount of genres it seems you'll be doing. Unless you just forgot about them, which is understandable. It's hard thinking of every far reaching genre on the best damn platform of all time.

Oh and in addition to the two games Words of Wisdom mentioned, you also forgot The Dark Spire under the RPG category. It would go under dungeon crawler like Orcs and Elves.

I forgot about strategy/simulation.  I'm probably not going to add anything that teaches or trains you. There will also be an others section for genres that don't have many good games or many games at all on the DS such as racing.

So now there won't be any strategy/simulation games on your list? Also, why arn't you gonna add anything that teaches or trains you?

I know that adding a list of great DS games is very beneficial to the community, but things like that require much more forethought beforehand. Perhaps a better idea would be either writing down a list of good DS games on paper or typing up a list on a word document. You can then use that list that I've mentioned in the sentence before this as an idea on what you're going to include. Ask anyone that knows a lot about the DS's library & they might help you by telling you any games &/or genres that you've might forgotten in your list for example.

No there will be a strategy/simulation section, I just forgot to mention it in my post. I already have lists in wordpad. That is why I type/copy the titles first then add pictures/links. Also like I said to Onyxmeth I'm only adding the more notable games like Brain Age, or some other game with a large forum-goer audience. Also I will only add them, if I think they will actually train or teach you as good as other education methods. For example, I have a friend who has the "Japanese Coach" game. I borrowed it to see what it taught you and it was nowhere comparable to my Genki text books + Learning the Kanji. It didn't go into enough detail at all in any of the lessons. The only good use for it was as a dictionary imo. Some of these games are just too rushed, and a waste to even think that they will teach you something. I will add RPGs regardless of Critic quality because in that area it is relative of everybodies preference. In learning games you only have one solid basis. Did you learn it good enough or not? If you didn't then it fails and doesn't deserve to be on the list. That is why I don't even want to touch learning games too much. The bigger ones like Brain Age don't even teach you anything, they just train your brain to work faster better.

 

@Richard I am no where near done. I still have Action-Adventure, Action, Strategy/Simulation, and a misc section to do. The reason why you see mostly RPGs because that is the biggest out of the three sections I did.
