Nintendo DS Games Playable Primarily with Touch Screen & Buttons

Few DS games use only touch and buttons; most leverage both screens. However, these titles heavily prioritize touch input:

• Brain Age / Brain Training: Entirely touch-driven puzzles and math exercises.
• Elite Beat Agents / Ouendan: Rhythm gameplay via tapping, sliding, spinning on touchscreen.
• Cooking Mama series: Mini-games built around touch gestures (chop, stir, flip).
• Professor Layton series: Puzzle-solving is touch-centric; top screen shows narrative/map.
• Kirby: Canvas Curse / Rainbow Paintbrush: Platformer controlled entirely by drawing paths on touchscreen.
• The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass / Spirit Tracks: Movement, combat, menus all touch-based.

Even these use face buttons for menus or pausing. For purely touch-only experiences, modern mobile games or Switch touch-mode titles are better suited.
