Majisuka Gakuen Kirifuda Taisen is a Top Trumps card game based on the AKB48/TV Tokyo drama Majisuka Gakuen.
I won't lie to you - this is just a reskin of Anime Jo All-Star Kirifuda Taisen, but with pictures of the AKB48 girls. But I'm just in that kind of mood. Enjoy!
The Legend of Zelda - Molblin's Magic Spear is a children's book based on The Legend of Zelda. You can get more information at the Zelda Wikia. I whipped up a video version with narration by Winter11 and music from Ocarina of Time.
In addition, I made a quick DS version which doesn't have the narration but text instead as per the original storybook. A B-side from me, you can download it here: zelda_ds.zip (5MB)
UPDATE: djshok of the GBAtemp.net forums made a nice cover as seen below. Thanks! I also want to note here that "Molblin" is spelled incorrectly on purpose. The original book uses this spelling (being 20 years ago) - it is now spelled as "Moblin" in the modern Zelda universe.
Nintendo Adventure Books: Monster Mix-Up DS is a digital version of the gamebook of the same name written by Bill McCoy and published by Archway Paperbacks in 1991. It is best described by the book's introduction:
"Dear Game Player: You are about to guide me through a great adventure. As you read this book, you will help me decide where to go and what to do. Whether I succeed or fail is up to you. At the end of every chapter, you will make choices that determine what happens next. Special puzzles will help you decide what I should do—if you can solve them. The chapters in this book are in a special order. Sometimes you must go backward in order to go forward, if you know what I mean. [...] Good Luck! Driplessly yours, Mario."

I'd like to thank DS Fanboy for the nod. Check out the rest of their list too - all great DS homebrew - and some that far surpass my simple efforts :) I'd also like to give a shout out to PALib, which makes DS programming easy, and in turn makes me look good!

UPDATE 2008/12/20 - Added a 3M version - It should have greater compatibility with more flash carts, but at the expense of lower-quality music. Give it a go if the normal version didn't work for you.
