With so much emphasis put on The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and casual games during this afternoon's media briefing, Reggie neglected to mention a few titles that I'm sure gamers would've loved to have heard about. News of Advance Wars DS 2, for instance, was hidden in a European press release, dated for the fourth quarter. Freshly Picked - Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, starring everyone's favorite cosplaying fairy, was also quietly announced for this September 14th in the same report.On the North American side, Nintendo revealed that it will be publishing Professor Layton and the Curious Village on December 3rd, the same day Super Smash Bros. Brawl is expected to hit store shelves. Two previously unannounced titles, Nintendo Crossword and Nintendo Magic, were also listed. Follow the link below to see what other first and third-party games are due for the remainder of 2007.

As someone who got a DS month ago, there's no need to mull over getting Advance Wars for $40-50 now with 2 coming.

I too got a DS about a month ago and was saddened that the first game I wanted to get wasn't even on the shelves anymore...
Ah well, ebay came through in the end.

Man, Advance Wars 2 and Golden Sun DS? Two games I have, with all my heart been waiting for, and Nintendo says nothing of them? Instead showing Wii Fit? If they would have showed these games at their conference, i wouldn't have felt so left out

I realize while we whine and complain, perhaps they're planning on a TGS (or other big event) announcement.
