So, I look at the small collection of ds games I own, and they don't really take full advantage of the unique features that the ds has. Sure all ds games, use the touch screen in some form or another. And some use the 2nd screen as a map, and such. But where are the games that truly take advantage of these features, that are actually good? And I mean everything including the touch screen, the 2nd screen, and the mic. Iv just been playing ds games, that could of been done without those unique features, and I want something different. Suggestions?

Yes, and the problem with games like this is that they don't include the FUCKING OPTION TO TURN IT OFF!!

Really? I thought the PH controls were great, and considering a lot of the items and travel were based around the stylus, I don't really understand how you could play it without it. PH had other problems but the controls were really cool.PantherLotus said:
Puzzle Quest could have used an option to turn the stylus off though.
Edit: To the OP, Warioware: Touched and Trauma Center haven't been mentioned yet.

I think Ace Attorney 4 is coming out in February, and it's supposed to use the touch screen like the fifth case of PW1 did.
Frankly, most of those up there that tried to answer the question failed. The closest one would be something like Nintendogs but even it doesn't properly use the 2nd screen well.
The Sega Pico could do it. Because all you really need is a touch screen on anything.

Did you even read the original post? What he's asking for are games that take full advantage of the DS's capabilities. The thread you linked to, while definitely awesome, does not necessarily cover that ground.Cheesemeister said:
I don't understand these people who crop up once questioning why there aren't vast amounts of DS games that use all of the system features extensively, as if it was mandatory for validating the platform's existence.
So, are PS2 games which don't use all dualshock2's features not true PS2 games as well?

Games that use the mic for "yelling" should be taken out back and beaten to fucking death.
durrr i'm nintendo i seem to have no concept of the fact that people play their portables in public places durr
Phantom Hourglass is in a snowbank somewhere on North Main St of Winnipeg now because of that shit.

Don't blame Nintendo because you could do something as simple as TAPPING THE MIC

The vast majority of all DS games that use the mic for something obnoxious can accomplish the same effect with a button or the touchscreen.
Select for pumping balloons in MKS
Touching for Objecting in Phoenix Wright
In fact, Nintendogs is the only game I can think of that doesn't.
Nintendogs is a powerful game. Normally you just get strange looks from playing it in public, but one of my friends got his current girlfriend that way.

It doesn't work every time! It worked for the scream loud to "someone come out".Zoramon089 said:
But thats not it! There should be a button for this! It's a cool feature, but I don't want to have to do it.

Just blowing into the DS mic maxes out the receiving volume. Of course you're still blowing into the mic in public, but it's better than screaming.
The mic really should only be used for games like nintendogs and brainage that have speech recognition. When it's forced in, it always sucks.
Though really, I've always thought it'd be cool if Ouendan had an optional setting so you'd have to OSU! into the mic at certain times.
