[DS] My Nintendo DS Fear

So in "conclusion", Nintendo is the best company in all the genres because I can get fulfillment in multiplayer by playing their consoles and fulfillment in RPG's by playing their handheld systems...

*QUEUE THUNDER CRASH SOUND EFFECT*

...Until the Nintendo DS came out. It has been out for over a year now and there are little or no RPG's for it. I realize it's still early, but there are not such a good amount of RPG's in development for the future, either. As for present DS RPG's, Lunar DS was such a failure.
I'm not against DS for its WiFi playing or it's multiplayer playing or it's fun stylus pen action gameplay, but I fear that the DS is so different from the GBA, that Nintendo will now officially be a poor company in the RPG department in any of the video game systems they make. That is a really bad thing to me since RPG is my favorite genre.

So, discuss. What is your take on Nintendo's future direction and your take on different game genres for Nintendo systems?

what makes you think that nintendo has something against rpg's? they sell dev kits to a ton of 3rd party developers. it's the 3rd party responsibility to provide you with the rpgs that you want, not the big n. nintendo is not to blame here for the lack of rpgs. also the ds is outselling the psp like crazy so if there are going to be any rpgs released on a handheld platform, chances are that they will be on ds.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
