Are there any DS games that only use the touch screen and buttons?

It's tough to find a DS game that *only* uses the touch screen and buttons. The DS was designed to integrate both, and most games utilize both for various gameplay elements.

However, there are games that heavily emphasize the touch screen:

* Brain Age: This series is all about quick brain-training games, relying heavily on the touch screen for puzzle solving and simple interactions.

* Elite Beat Agents: This rhythm game utilizes the touch screen extensively for tapping and swiping to the music.

* Cooking Mama: The series relies heavily on touch screen controls for cooking mini-games.

* Professor Layton: While the DS stylus is used for solving puzzles, the top screen often displays a map or other visual elements, making it crucial for navigating the game world.

It's worth noting that even these games typically use the buttons for some actions, like menu navigation or confirming choices.

If you're looking for a game that is truly *only* touch screen and buttons, you might need to look beyond the DS. Some mobile games or newer handheld consoles like the Nintendo Switch offer games that utilize only touch controls.
