Welcome to Nintendoville, population: all of your money

by JC Fletcher { Oct 11th 2007 at 4:00PM }

Nintendo released a partial list of their upcoming releases today, and if nothing else, it reinforces the notion that your money is only yours until you can find a convenient time to hand it to Nintendo. Buy food or whatever while you can, because starting ... now, a flood of awesome DS releases is going to tempt you. Between now and some time in the first quarter of next year (with a lovely break in December) the DS will be home to wall-to-wall awesome.

We've cherry-picked only what we think is the most interesting from the list, and it's still too many games. Not only that, this doesn't include anything from Capcom, so go ahead and add Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. There's stuff on this list that may be of interest only to niche audiences (i.e. us) like Diary Girl, but we can do that, because we made the list. Besides, a personal organizer on a DS card? That's just neat, no matter what it looks like. Check after the break for our list.

I'd add Panzer Tactics DS 10/16/2007 - but other than that... yeah. Does Nintendo accept souls as a currency - because they pretty much are going to own it anyway.

A personal organizer for $20 or $30? Why? $40 for an R4 and then download DS Organize, which has a calendar, memo pad, internet browser, IRC, scribble pad, the ability to change firmware wifi settings, a calculator, and more.

@@#&*^%&*^%! Professor Layton got moved back to February? Lifesigns isn't even being listed as coming out at all? If anything, this list is bad news for me. Arrrgh.

Dear God....They're out to bankrupt me

Amazon also dates N+ for release on Jan 8... Damn it, it was slated for November. Well, I guess my folks can expect some Christmas gifts, now.

Pie Pants @ Oct 11th 2007 7:21PM

Anyone else notice we've got a proper title for Advance Wars 2 now?

Jan. 21: Advance Wars(R): Days of Ruin from Nintendo

Other than that though, November looks like a good month. I'm gonna have to make room on my R4!

I think you mean "Touch Detective 2 1/2" and not "Touch Detective 21/2". Don't worry, Joystiq made the same mistake but I was too lazy to correct it there.

@7

Hah, if it was actually named that, I'd have my suspicions that the people behind Kingdom Hearts DS had a hand in the naming.

Nintendo: "All your money are belong to us"

Had to do it =]

Brello @ Oct 12th 2007 7:38PM

Is it bad that I only want 2 games from that list? Probably.

Goldilocks @ Oct 13th 2007 12:11AM

Cool! An exciting list, just in time for holidays.

pas @ Oct 15th 2007 9:23AM

fischu, microsd's cost too.

Delta @ Oct 15th 2007 4:38PM

Mario Party for DS? That sounds interesting. Otherwise I'm down for Phoenix Wright. FFT and Disgaea on PSP are breaking my October, figures DS games will break my November.
