    I really hope that Nintendo gives a date for DSiWare Virtual Console. Or at least some good, original games for DSiWare. 


    You forgot about Spirit Tracks, dude.

    I didn't see an official Nintendo games media release - but fixed.

    I also hope for the VC news as it would give me a solid reason to get a DSi.

    Most people get excited about console announcements than handheld announcements.

    Well those people need to get out more  :-)

    I am interested in what news comes from the world of Wii as well.  Thing is, the DS tends to get lost in the shadow, desite being the biggest selling games console.  So it deserves alittle attention to what news does make it out.  Then those of us who do care, can discuss it free of the other stuff.

    As for the games themselves on that list above, not a lot wasn't already known.  Also, most seem to be that middle fground of m'eh games.

    Still, Zelda, Might & Magic, Ragnarok, Kingsom Gearts and Harvest Moon are all worthy titles for consideration.

    For me, the series pinned epic with two game carts.  It felt complete.  Somehow a sequel just feels unfitting.

    You must be happy :)

    Mario & Luigi 3 RPG was announced for North America, and is due later in the year.

    DSi Ware:

    Mario Vs Donkey 3 was announced for DSiWare and is out in the US on Monday.

    Moving Memo V2, which is titled something else in the West, is due "in the summer"

    Indeed, I am very happy.  I hae both GBA games and loved them.  Only a Breath of Fire game could have made me as happy.

    Strangely enough, a lot of people back then argued that Golden Sun was severely overrated.  Of course, I disagreed.  I found the graphical style of the GBA game gorgeous and it played out, very nicely.  Top notch stuff.

    I feel the same way about the two Golden Sun games. Hopefully they just make it take place in the same universe, with all new story and characters.

    Everyone on all the podcast I listen to are talking about Scribblenauts.  Check out the video from Gametrailers.

    It's a game where you draw or speak an object, it appears on screen for you to use in puzzles and action sequences. Someone I was listening to said they saw a player pit God against a chupacabra.  The database also seemed to know what "keyboard cat" was.

    It does, so you can rest easy! The characters are descendents of the characters we already know and love

    They are talking about that game for good reason. It's going to be a big part of the DS lineup. The ambition in that game is almost unparalleled.
