I loved Trauma Center: Under the Knife, and am anxiously awaiting the sequel. As I was searching the internet for more information about that sequel, I kept seeing posts about the "growing genre" of DS surgery sim games. So... what are the other ones, except for Lifesigns: Surgical Unit (AKA Lifesigns: Hospital Affairs)? Do these actually exist, or are these random posters just cruelly taunting me? If there are other ones, please post their names here, as I'm in desperate need for something to tide me over until TC: UtK2 comes out.
If you can't think of any, then give me the names of similar games... sort of like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney-style sims.
I've discovered myself free for the summer with nothing to do, so please help!
 
I know Lifesigns Surigical Unit exists. I know nothing about it, but it exists.
The only other games besides Lifesigns are Trauma Center and the soon to be Trauma Center 2.

If you have a Wii, Trauma Center Second Opion and New Blood are both superb games and the controls are damn near perfect. Second Opinion is a port + a few extra features of Under the Knife. New Blood is an entirely new game..WITH CO-OP :)

I quite enjoyed Lifesigns. It was made before Trauma Center (originally, in Japan that is) but came out second in the US. It's more of a medical-themed adventure game, but you do surgery and stuff in it as well. There's a lot more interactions with other hospital personnel and patients, too, and there's more of a storyline (beyond "AAH! GUILT!"). You also diagnose patients, which is a fun addition - there are less patients, as I recall, though. Anyway, I thought it was very cute and fun.

You know, I've given serious thought to buying a Wii just so that I could play those games. Sadly I still live at home and my parents would flip out. Maybe if I told them I was playing WiiFit to get healthier...

So, LifeSigns IS good?
Here's what matters the most:
1) Trauma Center:UtK was pretty fuckin hard on the DS. I know there's gonna be a diffculty setting (..or just easier game overall) for UtK2. Is ths like ridiculously hard like that, or much easier? If so, is it like TOO easy?!

2) The controls, are they like Trauma Center? Feel just as good?

Oh, they're convinced that video games are evil mind-sucking machines which get you addicted and then make your IQ drop 100 points, and also make you lazy and fat. I got away with getting a DS because of the Brain Age games and because I use it traveling.
