Dirth of DS games?

There is rumbling around the internet that there are fewer quality ds games being released over the summer. (Aside from Pokemon of course). So, I'll make a couple of completely unfounded suggestions on games that look very interesting.

Spectrobes - March 2007
Two heroes embark on a mission to save their galaxy – to do so they must excavate, awaken, train and collect all the Spectrobes they can and battle to defeat the Krawl.
by Disney Interactive
Seems like the next step in Pokemon. Still, I really like the idea of excavation, and using all of the features of the ds. Well, except the microphone. I hate blowing into my ds; it's strange and vaguely creepy.

Puzzle Quest - March 2007
An rpg where the battles are solved with puzzles. Think Culdcept + Columns = Puzzle Quest (hopefully without the awful pacing of Culdcept)
by D3 Publishing

Housewife Superstar - release date tba
The game, though it's just in concept form now, is basically about being the perfect housewife - learning flower arranging, embroidery, dressing up, and various other things, but all a bit tongue in cheek, not taking it seriously.

The character design looks fantastic.

So, the future of the ds isn't so bleak. Kill some time finishing off your plethora of Final Fantasy games for the gba/ds or pick up Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja and you'll have more time to play games and less time to whine about what is or isn't coming down the pipe.
