Meteos
New Super Mario Bros.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Trauma Center 1 and 2
Professor Layton & the Curious Village
Metroid Prime: Hunters
I added my recommendations to your list. Really, there's loads of great games for the DS that can't exactly be defined as "casual."

Elite Beat Agents (though Rhythm Paradise / Heaven is supposed to be even better).

I wouldn't say that was true - EBA is a lot better.

Anyway:

Advance Wars (either is good)
Professor Layton
Either Trauma Centres

Advance Wars Days of Ruin (which I believe is by far better than Dual Strike)
Fire Emblem DS
If you're in for a challenge Ninja Gaiden DS
Even though it's casual Animal Crossing Wild World pretty much stole a year of my life
Mario Kart DS

All of the above and also Resident Evil DS, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum (platinum is the best), Final Fantasy 3 and Dragon Ball: Origins are my reccomendations

All three Kirby games (Superstar Ultra, Canvas Curse, and Squeak Squad)
N+, especially if you like a challenge
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Trauma Center: Under the Knife (Haven't played UtK2 so I can't recommend that.)

The first 3 phoenix wright games,great point and click adventure with great wrighting. get it cause Phoenix last name is Wright, that sucked but the games don't. Mario and Luigi Partners in time for a quriky RPG that has a nice battle system. Also the remakes of Final Fantasy 3 and 4.

What genre do you like there are lots of great rpgs like Zelda the phantom hourglass, chrono trigger, the world ends with you or one of the many dragon quest or final fantasy games if you want a first person shooter you can't go wrong with metriod prime hunters or if puzzle games are more your thing meteos, tetris or picross are all fantasic. My personal top three would have to be hotel dusk room 215, GTA china town wars and Disgaea ds

Chinatown Wars and Pokemon are pretty good.
But seriously if you want something that will consume all your time for the rest of forever, get meteos (not the disney one). May be casual, but it's as addicting as Peggle.

Rhythm Heaven is definitely the way to go. Elite beat Agents has a pretty good system for a music game but the music select is horrible. You can get the same experience of playing elite Beet Agents by printing out an anime picture, turning on youtube to some horrible song you hate and then repeatedly stabbing the picture with a knife. Actually that would actually be more fun as you could have more than ten songs and some satisfaction from it.

DS depends on the kinds of games you want to play. Incomplete list, but it`s better to think by genre.

Tactics games
Advance Wars
Disgaea
Final Fantasy Tactics

RPG
Valkyrie Profile
Chrono Trigger

Platformer
Castlevania

Other games
Rhythm Heaven
Brain Training

If it helps, I suggest you avoid anything 3D.

Trying to put 3D graphics on a device with about as much processing power as a piece of chalk is one of the worst things a developer can do.
