I just started playing WiZmans World, and the design is really good, plus the battle mechanics are good too! Too bad it's in Japanese...

quick spot is a very underrated title, it gave me hours of enjoyment i actually completed it 100% because it was so good compared to most ds titles released. Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is another obscure title that no one has heard about, it's based on the adventure game books that i loved as a kid, if you love those books you have to check it out, it's pretty decent.
I would say one of the most underrated NDS games is Arkanoid DS. Although it is a newer version of the old arcade Breakout clone, it is one of the most colorful, addicting, and relaxing games I have ever played, and possibly my personal favorite of all DS games. The Vaus (paddle) is controllable through the D-pad or the touch screen. Also, the new difficulty modes also make it easy or hard depending on your preference, and the music score is excellent. I rarely buy video game soundtracks, and I had to import this one. (It's so underground that I can't find any of the songs on Youtube.) There's also a minor story to the game, and different modes of play such as 2 player or missions. Even though it got a terrible grade from IGN (2 stars), the user score is almost double and it's a MAJOR improvement from the impossibly difficult NES Arkanoid (by today's standards at least) and it is a refreshing change of pace. It's worth a shot, especially if you own a flash cart.
Avalon Code underrated?? Do you think so?
Some people consider it one the best looking DS games! (included myself)

I think Trackmania DS should be red. Also some of these games aren't even underrated anymore. like Digimon world DS has become pretty popular.
All right, don't stone me, but...
Dynasty Warriors DS isn't actually all that bad. Sure, it pretty much deserves the scores it's received, but it's also going to give some mindless pleasure to fans of this type of button mashing. It took a while for me to sidle up to the game, but I think I finally appreciate it. I guess all you need is a good summer drought for certain things to shine. Graphics: not great. Gameplay: repetitive as can be. Fun? Yeah, it is.

Keeping this thread almost single-handedly alive, I'm going to add Spectral Force Genesis. I tried two or three times to get into this game, but it just wasn't clicking for me. I put in a few hours with it, though, over the past weekend, and I think I finally get it. I went into the game expecting an RTS, but it's more of a hybrid table-top-type game with RTS elements. If you dig games like Risk, give it a chance. Just be sure to read the tutorials carefully and take your time with it. Don't expect something like Revenant Wings, 'cause that's not at all what this is. Still, it's worth checking out, and considering the Metacritic score (somewhere in the 40s), I'd say it's very under-rated.
