I know brain training games released within the first year (or right after? not sure), I was refering to those 3 that I bolded  in your post earlier. You didn't mention brain training games in your post for some reason (unless you consider brainage a "tetris" :/  ). Thus I thought it was included in the 'mariad of other games' you mentioned.

The second paragraph: the DS was selling >100k weekly before any of those kind of games released, including the 3 you mentioned earlier. So we have to look at what was selling DS's before those 2D games arrived.

 So I still asked what software you think Nintendo should release on 3DS to sell >100k weekly?

Yes, I consider Brain Training a Tetris. That should answer the rest of your post too.

Or in other words, stuff like Kid Icarus: Uprising, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario isn't going to make the 3DS explode in popularity.

One more thing about the DS though: It was posting >100k weekly with the help of Nintendogs and Brain Training, but since neither of these games is characterbased, neither will work as well as last generation. We can already see this in action with Nintendogs + Cats, hence why I am talking about a new Tetris and not a straight sequel of Brain Training.

Well its kind of confusing when you said "While Tetris and  Brain Training were cerebral experiences." But I think you should treat Brain training games as a separate entity to avoid mass confusion. While there are some similarities, they are quite different really. (and we would have to consider why GBA was outpacing GB sales without its own "tetris").

 

Well from this I can gather you think that Nintendo should just release the 3ds cerebral("brainage/tetris") games soon( should have just said that). Or am I still missing somethin?
