Wow - that Neogaf list makes me realize how many good DS games I haven't got yet.
Elite Beat Agents was also missing from my list - its an absolute "must buy" IMO.
And for a rare treat, with unique gameplay, challenging game, long adventure - and a twisted view on capitalism (and the world in general) - you can't go past "Tingles Rosy Rupeeland". Of all the DS games I have finished, this would have to be the most "rare". Its definitely worth it, in terms of "a study of unique game play" alone (solid 8-8.5/10 IMO).
