Unfortunatly, there doesn't exist a No-Intro for Nintendo DS, and it's double unfortunate when we can't share copyrighted content.
The only thing I can recommend is search on Google and use keywords like "cancelled", "beta" or "prototype".

In the DS releases part of http://www.advanscene.com/ then there are X files and pre scene files. Most of those are kiosk demos and other demos or nominally unreleased games (Club Nintendo for one, Not for Sale being another term on that list). For whatever reason Diamond Trust of London is in the main releases there.

There are a few betas and such on there. Other than the Mario Kart tracks being backported/remade by hackers in the main release we did not see half as much cool stuff as we did for the GBA ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/comprehensive-hosting-site-list-of-leaked-unreleased-games.342235/ ). A few places were also observed to lock languages out despite being in the game (nothing of great note for English speakers or speakers of the usual multi5 nowadays, sometimes there would be a non English multi5 locked away but those I know of should all have normal releases now. For Japan then there was the second Advance Wars ( https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1003/ ) and Go Go Cosmo Cops ( https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1008/ ).

At this point the names of anything like the devs get canned but release the game anyway thing we saw on the GBA with the likes of world reborn, motocross challenge and The Last Seal escape me, such that I am going to say I don't think there were really any. A few bits of homebrew later went commercial, or commercial on andrios (thinking things like lone wolf and puzzlemaniak, possibly also some emulators), and we even saw some homebrew shuttered (Tetris the Grand Masters), but that is a different topic.
