Didn't know Rondo Swords exited until just now. Nor did I know "The World Ends With You" one was coming state side at all.

Jan. 21: Mazes of Fate DS from Graffiti Entertainment

The GBA version was pretty good in my opinion. Hopefully they have incorporated some ds additions.

I'm still waiting to hear of any news about Trackmania DS.

Nothing catches my eye on there.

Sad to say that none of those interest me, although I did preorder Ninja Gaiden for the stylus.

Professor Layton will be mine day one.

Layton, Justice on order.

NG a probably.

Dodgeball could be interesting.

Where's Smash Brothers?
I thought it was supposed to be released in March?

Thanks for posting the list, OP!

For me:

They need to mix up Lost in Blue before I spend money on a third iteration. The second one was essentially a remake of the first...I'm hoping Lost in Blue 3 brings something new to the table.

I wasn't sure what to make of Professor Layton, but then I saw this on Amazon.

Also, I think I'd rather have N+ on the PSP, but I'll wait to see how they look before committing to that.

Just Advance Wars and Crosswords DS for me.

We have a small thread on the DS adventure type games here come check it out if you havent already:

So far the only definites are the same two from before, Professor Layton & Apollo Justice. There are plenty of games on the list I'll consider, but those are the only two I want for sure.
I'm not really sure what's happening with the DS lineup. A year ago, there were so many good games I couldn't keep up with all of them. Of course, that may be a good thing as I still have a bit of a backlog of DS titles.

Cool...thanks for the link. Tagged it.

Looks like some really interesting stuff on the horizon.

Hey I didn't know Anno 1701 got a release!

The Professor Layton video looks great, thanks for the link.

Bangai-O is the one Dreamcast game I always wanted but never managed to track down. Glad to see the DS version headed our way.

Gosh, everything in that video is still too damn small!

The DC version was fine. I never finished it, mainly because the levels were large, but the characters were tiny!

Jan. 21: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin from Nintendo/Intelligent Systems
Feb. 10: Professor Layton and the Curious Village from Nintendo/LEVEL-5
Feb. 12: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney from Capcom
February: Insecticide from Gamecock Media Group
March 11: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate from Square Enix
Spring: LEGO: Indiana Jones from LucasArts
Spring: The World Ends with You from Square Enix
Q2: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time from Nintendo
Q2: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness from Nintendo

Those are the games I plan on buying.

[quote name='keithp']Hey I didn't know Anno 1701 got a release! [/quote]

Happy about this! Not happy that I only have enough money to buy the first four games I want that come out this year (Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Ace Attorney 4, Proffessor Layton, and Anno 1701). That leaves 11 left.

Is there any reason people would want both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games?

Sadly, the only games that intrest me there is Advance Wars and possibly the two Atlus games.

Oh well maybe later in the year there will be something good.

These are my must-haves:

Feb. 10: Professor Layton and the Curious Village from Nintendo/LEVEL-5
Feb. 12: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney from Capcom
Spring: The World Ends with You from Square Enix

The rest is either "wait-and-see" or "completely not interested". Still, this is plenty enough for me.

One per quarter for me.

March 25: Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword from Tecmo, Inc.
Q2: Bangai-O Spirits from D3 Publisher of America

So Project Exile actually got a publisher and a release date. I'll probably make a thread about it later if no one else does.

Advance Wars, Final Fantasy CC and Drone Tactics for me.

Lost In Blue 3.... maybe.


Forgot Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution!!

Its all about
Ninja Gaiden DS
dodgeball brawlers
final fantasy 4, maybe ring of fates
bangai-o
and apollo justice

How the hell is Lost in Blue getting another installment? The second one sucked and if I'm not mistaken, sold terribly.

Anyway, I didn't realize so many games were coming out for the first half of the year. It's going to be another expensive DS gaming year.
