I'll update it with more/better pictures later. I'm pretty sure that I heard it was coming out April-June in Japan though. I have to go hand out with my little cousins for a while.

Hard to make a post like this about the DS considering development time is much shorter. But even with whats announced this year seems pretty hot, was really happy with the DS in 2005 but less so in 2006, hopefully it will return to its previous 2005 glory with games like Zelda, Pokemon and all the titles coming from SE(prays most of those will come here).

Western 3rd Party Developers are really dropping the ball about the DS. The only 3rd Party Western Developer that is doing some decent amount of work on the DS is Buena Vista Studios who is making Spectrobes.

Bullshit.

That's been the conventional wisdom all along, but we're to the point now where things have changed enough that people need to drop that.

Strategy First is working on Disciples DS, Jagged Alliance DS, and Warlords DS -- all three look extremely promising. EA's got Sim City DS and Theme Park DS lined up. CDV has Panzer Tactics coming soon, Ubisoft has The Settlers... all those, and we've also got Anno 1701, Sinking Islands, Undercover... Activision's made two good exclusive Tony Hawk games, and BioWare is working on an original RPG for the system.

I hope we get another Castlevania. :( How well did PoR sell?

Also, here's some games that are coming out in Japan but aren't confirmed for US (since the first post is a list of games for the US):

Professor Reiton and the Mysterious Village
Itadaki Street DS
Front Mission the First
Luminous Arc
Atelier Lise
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Gyakuten Saiban IV

Not to mention... you forgot Chibi Robo DS, Custom Robo, and Rune Factory, which are releasing in the US this year

Is it wrong that Spectrobes looks kinda cool to me? :\ I guess it just bothers me that Disney is publishing. :s

Isn't Sim City DS being developed in EA Japan? ;p Also, I think all of Strategy First's titles have been cancelled because the studio shut down (from what I read in a GAF post).

try again. I am looking forward to Bioware's game though.

According to jesusraz it was cancelled, and it seems to be true, as there is no set releasedate and the rumble pak will be bundled with Actionloop next week.

@cank stoochie
EBA is not officially announced for Europe. NoE never even mentioned it on their releaselist since its announcement. Still, it might see a release over here, although I doubt it.
And wasn't it play.com that listed "Giftpia"?

@CurseoftheGods
Yes, four player online mode.

Sim City DS is being made and published by EA. Whether it's developed in by a Japanese branch of a western company or not is meaningless. After all, Spectrobes was listed as "Western support," and its developer is Jupiter Corp, a Japanese company.

And no, Strategy First's games haven't been canceled, and the studio hasn't been shut down. Jagged Alliance was just announced this very month, along with a reconfirmation of Disciples and Warlords.

So maybe you should try again, eh?

No Professor Layton screens were posted. Level 5's first self-published title:

Professor Layton





A point and click adventure/puzzle game. Seems to include Miyazaki-esque fully animated cutscenes. The trailer on the official site reminds me of Clue. The site has an English nav bar and the trailer is easy to get to.

Yes, it will be up to 8 players online. I'm surprised because Mario Kart DS was only 4 players through Wi-Fi. You'll also be able to share custom tracks you've made to friends through Wi-Fi.

I'm still unclear on whether you can race your custom tracks online (instead of just sharing them), but my guess would be you couldn't. Still, the game will be amazing.

That wasn't said (according to ethelred it was^^), but I found this part of the press release funny:

"Dan has overseen development of AAA titles for such major publishers as Nintendo, Microsoft, THQ, and Sega Sports."

The game he had overseen of Nintendo was never released, as you may know.

I can't wait for Diddy Kong Racing. It has Wifi and track editor, and I can probably expect a beefier single player than Mario Kart. All signs point to an awesome title.....I wish it wasn't so hidden.

I just have this terrible feeling that Professor Layton isn't going to be released outside of Japan.

I really, really hope I'm wrong there.

Just nitpicking, but Jagged Alliance has been on the DS games list for a very long time

I REALLY, REALLY hope that ASH comes out this year. Considering it will be Mistwalker's first release on a more wide-spread/popular console, this will probably be the first game that stands to make the biggest splash for them. Hopefully, the game won't disappoint.

It's a Wonderful World is on my list too. First original IP from Square Enix in who knows how long? It is definitely holding my attention. Though, on the other hand, Heroes of Mana has some attention too, if only because it's looking to be possibly the most interesting Mana-related game since SD3, in my opinion. It also helps that it returns to that specific "universe" as well.

Then, there's Rockman ZX Advent. Loved the first game, and the usual order of operations for Rockman games dictates that, no matter what happens later on in the series, you can bet that number 2 in a line will definitely be a greater game than the first. Hopefully, it will be ready sooner, rather than later...I need my fix. ^_^

And finally, though it's not confirmed yet, I'm pretty much calling it: one of the two CV games announced as of now is probably going to be a new DS game. Since it's going to be one of the games surrounding the infamous "1999 Battle", I hope that IGA and his boys will pull out all the stops. After all, with these two games would pretty much effectively mark the end of an era where we should expect to see Drac as the end boss without fail. Furthermore, I'm hoping that future games in the series will FINALLY take the series in a fresh, new direction, because the SOTN formula is getting tired.

And it does have some "triplettes de bellevilles" vibe to it.
