I think that much more than 10% of the games are bad, but that's because all I ever see is "MY PET ANIMAL" and "SPELLINGMASTER" or stuff like that. I'd love a good RTS game for the ds, that'd rock, most of the ones i've seen suck.

Are you talking about the percentage of titles released or the percentage that remain unsold on the shelves of your local video game retailer?

That's all I've seen in the shops recently, plus i've noticed an increase in the amount of these games being created.

There is a market for them. Without pony-obsessed children or well-meaning grandmas to buy them, the repetitive DS horse game genre goes away.

It's Ubisoft's fault. Blame them. They're churning out these babies at an exponential rate.

Shitty DS games this way.

Y'know what's also bad and repetitive? Your posts. God, YOU MAKE MY EYES BLEED. But yeah, DS games aren't almost as bad as the Wii ones.
