I'm sorry, but I have trouble even having a discussion with anyone who thinks the DS's core game library (or game library in general) is lacking in ANY way. If you think this, chances are very good that you simply don't own a DS.
There is a huge disconnect between reviewers and DS games. A game like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney which averages an 82% on gamerankings is rated ridiculously low to people who've played it. Take a game like Contra 4 too. It's got an 86%, but to Contra fans the game is practically perfect!
Of course there are also the JRPGs on the DS. The masses of them. I can't really blame reviewers for underrating DS RPGs because they underrate all JRPGs without Final and Fantasy in their names (which the grossly overrate). I have yet to meet a DS owner who finds its library lacking in amazing core games.
I play my DS more than any other system I have ever owned and I'm about as core gamer as anyone can possibly be. I understand that people have different opinions about games, but if you base all your gaming decisions on reviews you are going to miss some really incredible gaming experiences.
