Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
Advanced Wars DS 2 and Gyakuten Saiban 4. That's all.

We may not get another one on DS at all actually, depending on how soon we see a successor machine. :/

We should be agtting a new Wii Zelda in 2009 or so though.

DEMENTIUM: THE WARD

I'm surprised how few people are talking about this game. It looks great and all the hands-on impressions so far have been really positive.

I'm looking forward to it too, but I think it's because these type of games don't really suit the platform.
 
Phoenix Wright 3
Touch Detective 2 1/2
V8 Supercars: Create & Race
Flipper Critters
The Simpsons (since it seems to be a 2D platformer~)
Professor Layton
Contra 4

Mario Party DS
It's a Wonderful World (where is my US version release date Squeenix??!)
Be interesting to see if SE would view a US release as potentially helping that bomb break even, or just throwing good money after bad.

As a 'sales-ager', I think they shouldn't take the risk, as it's a pretty Japanese oriented game and it didn't do very well in Japan itself.

As a gamer, I want this game so bad. :(

I agree. On both counts, actually.

The Bioware game, even though I'm not a big Sonic fan.
FFTA2

Far too many to list really. I'll end up only getting a small portion of them.

Panzer Tactics. Dragon Quest Monsters. And whatever comes along, basically. DS is awesome.

But WHY didn't they bring Uncharted Waters over. :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Lost all credibility.
I'm surprised not ONE other person listed Proving Ground DS for a game they want to play after American Sk8land had so many fans. I guess with the Hawk vs. Skate controversy most people have either sided with Skate or sworn off skating games altogether. :(
 
1. Phoenix Wright 3 (my affection for this series is nearing unhealthy levels)
2. Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
3. Front Mission
4. Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
5. Professor Layten
6. CONTRA EFFIN FOUR!!!

That's the remainder of this year for me alone! Not counting games that I have already missed out on and hope to pick up if I find the time/money. There is such a ridiculous amount of RPG/Strategy goodness coming to DS, it's not fair to poor students like myself.

BTW, how's Mitsuda's work on Luminous Arc? That's another game that unfortunately just won't make the cut for me, but I may consider importing the soundtrack.

Geometry Wars
Call of Duty
Lego Star Wars Complete Saga

Advance Wars DS 2 - Buying, Advance Wars is an amazing series
Bangai-O Spirits - Buying, N64 version was great
Professor Layton - Interested, need to see the English version
Ninja Gaiden DS - Maybe
Final Fantasy 4 - Maybe
Contra 4 - Maybe
 
My list for this year only
DQ Monsters Joker
Professor Layton
Contra 4

Next year should be a great year as well, with Advance Wars coming out and all of the SE RPGs finally being done. And Bangai O looks awesome.

Didnt it come close to 150k? That wasnt enough to break even for a DS game?
