There are still good games, though far less common than they used to be. I just don't find games as innovative as they were during the 90's, when technological improvements actually led to significant new styles of gameplay. How games improved in the 16-bit era compared to earlier games, had much improved interfaces, and then when 3D was new and plenty of new types of games were being made that way, right through the PS2 era with better performance and better controls in place. Controls seemed to stop changing as much once Resident Evil 4 came out as that's what every game copied after.

Combine that with getting older in general and it's just not as impressive to me, even though plenty of modern games still play better than most games from the 90's. Having something be a slightly better version of what I played years ago, isn't the same as playing something that's never been around before.

I really enjoyed the DS when I first started playing it, though I tend to forget about the games now when asked what are the best games I can remember as I end up sticking with classic consoles or PCs. There were a lot of good adventure games on the DS. There are still various 3DS games I want to play, still including Corpse Party, and that sequel to 999, I just haven't made a point to specifically try to buy them yet.

I think a big part of why I didn't pay attention to the 3DS as much has to do with how retail stores that carried games started changing how they were selling them. The biggest one was Gamestop/EB Games, really they barely seem to focus on actual games as much compared to all the random toys and merchandise they're selling, and no more kiosks to try games out. I remember DS kiosks being a thing but I can't remember seeing a 3DS kiosk, maybe at one Best Buy but nowhere else. I don't even bother browsing at Gamestop anymore to see what's new(before Covid being a thing). Same with Walmart as there's still no kiosks either, it all just feels like a different experience to even look at them in stores so I pretty much don't bother. I don't really pay much attention to modern games coming out.
