Now that Zelda's been released, what games are you anticipating for DS?

Lost all credibility.
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
I had a freaking blast with American Sk8land, like most of the older Tony Hawks, it kept me hooked for a long while. I'm hoping it'll be the same with this one. Also if Sk8land is anything to judge by, this game should have some pretty comprehensive wi-fi stuff like leaderboards and head-to-head play.

Contra 4
Honestly my favorite Contra is Hard Corps, even though this is more like the original Contra I'm definitely giving this game a chance just because it looks so awesome and I want some good shooting action. Plus co-op is gonna be crazy.

Front Mission
I was a huge fan of Front Mission 3 for psx, probably the turned-based strat i've spent the most time with since it wasn't as brutally hard as FFT.

Power Rangers: Super Legends
This one might seem silly but it has the potential to be a solid beat-em-up and it has the original Red Ranger on the box.

I know there's a crapload more great DS games coming out just this year too.
 
Contra 4 for sure. I've got to say that Front Mission looks good though I'm not a big strategy buff. Otherwise, I can't think of anything :(

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Since I am eagerly awaiting the USA release of AA3 and it is such an obvious answer I will answer the even more obvious ones.

Tales of Innocence, DQ4, FF4 remake.

Well, personally, I couldn't care less about Zelda, so it had no effect on the games I was anticipating. Still looking forward to Professor Layton, Contra 4, that survival horror game, and some other stuff I'm sure I've forgotten.

The first should've been buried in the 80's.

HOLY SHIT you did not just say that. This is honestly the first time Ive seen someone say somethning bad about EO. The first game is one the best games for the DS, and the sequel is going to be awesome

Okay, different strokes I suppose, but Atlus should get another new IP going.

Why? Refining EO's engine is something they should do, if only to be able to more properly make a SMT out of it later!


Believe!

Why? Because I don't want another Etrian Odyssey. :D

Give me a urban odyssey and I'll journey on. :)

You should give EO another chance, then. But this time, make it to the end.

You can import the Japanesey one by the end of this month. US version in early 2008, I assume.

I thought my DS's life was complete now that I have Zelda, but I guess I'll be happy with an original squeenix rpg (NO REMAKE!) when the next one comes out.
