DS Daily: Tough choices
The next few months will be filled with a lot a great releases -- perhaps too many. Super Dodgeball Brawlers, Bangai-O Spirits, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Etrian Odyssey II, Space Invaders Extreme, Arkanoid DS, Rondo of Swords, Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles, Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, and The World Ends With You are just a few that we can name on the spot, and all of these will be out before July starts.
Unless you have abundant amounts of currency, though, you probably can't afford to buy that many games in such a short period of time. Also, money isn't the only problem. Supposing that you could afford everything you wanted, you wouldn't even have the time to play them all.
Narrowing down the field is tough, but necessary. What games that are coming out in the next three months do you consider must gets? And they don't have to be chosen from the games listed above, so go nuts.

I'm getting Bangai on release, definitely.
I'll probably wait awhile then purchase Jake Hunter and The World Ends With You.
I've got too many half finished/unopened GBA/DS games. My pile is reaching almost 10 now. Probably.

nil @ Apr 9th 2008 9:41AM
Bangai-O, Super Dodgeball Brawlers and Etrian Odyssey II mus be bought day one. The World Ends With You and FFTA2 will have to wait until these are finished.
C02M0 @ Apr 9th 2008 9:51AM
all ...

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
anyhow after seeing this great list , i wonder .
what will be the next cool games ?
LordFu @ Apr 9th 2008 10:01AM
I'm getting Rondo of Swords, Drone Tactics, and Etrian Odyssey 2, for sure.
FrankTheCrank @ Apr 9th 2008 10:03AM
Is their a new DS coming in June?
Nintendo usually drops a new form factor every two years. It's been two years since DS Lite hit the scene.
What's the word?
A new DS without GBA port. Slimmer, lighter...??????
Toxic @ Apr 9th 2008 3:31PM
I think that there won't be any new Nintendo console this year.
Husky @ Apr 9th 2008 10:04AM
FFTA2 without doubt!
jsutcliffe @ Apr 9th 2008 10:17AM
*cough*Drone Tactics*cough*
Oh, and FFTA2
iruka @ Apr 9th 2008 10:24AM
The World Ends With You!
and definitely Guitar Hero
nevsky42 @ Apr 9th 2008 10:29AM
Definitely World Ends; I'm also interested in Rondo but I think I'll actually try to finish Final Fantasy III first...
tamriel @ Apr 9th 2008 10:33AM
My, it is truly a long list of great stuff. My main order is getting N+. I also have eyes set on Etrian Odyssey II (if you don't get it at launch, you may as well forget it), Bangai-O Spirits and Space Invaders Extreme. FFTA2 and The World Ends With You make my nice-to-have list.
Reeve @ Apr 9th 2008 10:36AM
My must-haves are FFTA2 and The World Ends With You. Rondo of Swords, Space Invaders Extreme, and Harvest Moon are all strong maybes.
lanuke @ Apr 9th 2008 10:36AM
You forgot to put Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness, you meanie :D
btw, FFTA2 w00t!!!
Puddles @ Apr 9th 2008 11:30AM
- FFT A2 (hope it's better than the first one)
- Rondo of Swords (need to see some reviews first though)
- Summon Night: Twin Age (yeah Summon Night!)
Mad Martin Kinderhook @ Apr 9th 2008 12:46PM
Definitely FFT A2 and Etrian Odyssey II. On top of that, maybe Drone Tactics, Jake Hunter, Bangai-O, and Space Invaders Extreme. Kind of interested in TWEWY, but the asking price is intimidating and I'll need to confer with lefties who buy the game. Oh, and let's not forget Trauma Center DS 2, if the July 1 date isn't just a placeholder.
Sakura3210 @ Apr 9th 2008 1:37PM
Pirating is not something to be proud of - do it if you want, but at least don't brag about failing to support gaming companies.
yanya @ Apr 9th 2008 1:38PM
LoL Dash_Jr
... anyway, I'll be picking up:
Rondo of Swords (This is a must get, for the Izuna and Shino cameos alone, not to mention it looks pretty f'n sweet)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness / Time
Drone Tactics
Summon Night: Twin Age
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (I had enough of a hard time tracking down the first one, so I'll preorder this one ahead of time)
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 (Enough said)
I would also like to pick up World Ends With You, but I have a problem with Square thinking they can charge that extra $5 for DS games as compared to everyone else. I mean, most games are $30, then there are a few that are $35... but every new Square game I see is $40. They're the only developers I see that do that. I'll hold off and see if I can find it on sale.
Also, should Atlus localize and release it, I'll be more than willing to snatch up Izuna 2 without hesitation.
nightwing59 @ Apr 9th 2008 1:51PM
i think those 5 dlls are worth it come on square-enix games most of the times a 8.0+ games see de prelim reviews of the world ends with you and you will see.
previous Square games on the ds havent suck
Kayla @ Apr 9th 2008 4:30PM
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness is what i want.... i'll have to sell professor layton to be able to afford it though.
Kayla @ Apr 9th 2008 4:37PM
oh yea i want to get Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time too!
J.K. @ Apr 9th 2008 4:59PM
I'll live...Dodgeball is a must, and the two $20 budget titles (Arkanoid/Space Invaders) are easy grabs, and I *may* get Bangai-O just because the DC game was just damn fun. The rest I could give no care about at all aside from a passing interest in the S-E actionRPG.
Sam @ Apr 9th 2008 6:15PM
-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
-Line Rider DS
-Guitar Hero: On Tour
-Pokemon Ranger: Battonage
I already have it on preorder, but it doesn't come out for another 11 days.
Dig @ Apr 9th 2008 7:50PM
New games? Pfft. I'm still looking forward to buying Kirby:Canvas Curse and Sonic Rush Adventure.
chispito @ Apr 9th 2008 10:39PM
Harvest Moon: Isle of Happiness sounds pretty fun, and FFIV sounds like a winner.
I'd like to take this moment to encourage all of you to go buy Shiren if you haven't already.
raindog @ Apr 10th 2008 1:05AM
Now that I have the pretty pink paddle, I'll be getting Arkanoid and Space Invaders..... and probably importing the Korg DS-10.
That's about it, because the DS isn't getting Okami or de Blob.
Aparoid @ Apr 13th 2008 2:29PM
If I recall the Japanese Slot-2 Paddle controller will not work with the US Paddle games. That's really a disappointment in my opinion, but I'm sure Arkanoid will still be great.
InvisibleMan @ Apr 29th 2008 4:38PM
Riiiiight...
Anyway, I already got Rondo of Swords and I'm having a blast with it... just waiting for the Izuna cameo!
I already pre-ordered Etrian Odyssey II... I'm almost done with the first one!
Getting Summon Night and Izuna II for sure... I don't know when I'm going to play all these games, though!
Dirty_Harry @ May 11th 2008 8:08PM
Dash_Jr, I thought you didn't have an R4?
