The DS needs a good RTS or Diablo Style Game

I think that the DS is perfectly suited to handle a RTS or Diablo style adventure game. In an RTS the touch screen could be used to give units quick commands and the main battle field screen could pop up to the top screen when the command screen is being used on the bottom. There could be so many options available to the DS for an RTS that would not be there for the PSP.
And why has no one released an Untold Legends style game yet for DS. You could either use the d-pad to move and have the top screen be a map, or you could use the style to point and poke where you want to go or who you want to attack. Or you could use the stylus in your inventory screen to drag things into your item slots.
I personally would love to see a port of diablo and/or starcraft for the DS, especialy if it supported wifi; though I would love to see original content even more. Does anyone know if I am ranting for nothing and there are already titles like this on the way? Cause so far I have seen nothing.

Seriously. Starcraft DS would be about the greatest thing of all time.

I thought these would've been some of the first games to come out for the system...... seems like it was designed for such games.

Seriously. I pray to the Blizzard gods just about every night on this one. They need to get over the digital drugs and start making some real games again.

I wonder if they'll make a whittled-down version of the original Age of Empires for the NDS (they already made a Turn based version, but I'm talking about a port of real thing).
