A few nice looking releases next week, kinda varied too. Its gonna get even better when September arrives as there are well over 50 titles due in the US & Europe alone!
August 28th
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 US Genre: Golf-me-do
Another year another update, don't think I've played any since the horrid 2005 DS game.
Also out are Professional Fisherman's Tour: Northern Hemisphere which I', sure came out a while back, Pet Alien which is OK at best (though some people love it for some reason) and Garfields Nightmare which was ok. If you like Shin'en games then you'll like them, if you find Shin'em to be average then you might not.
August 30th
One Piece: Gear Spirit Japan Genre: Fight-me-do
A Smash Bros style fighter featuring the One Piece characters.

Oni Zero: Sengoku Ransei Hyakkaryouran Japan Genre: RPG-me-do
Simple 1500 Series Vol. 21: The Fuhyou: Bitai de Shutsugeki! Senjou no Inutachi Japan Genre: Action-me-do
Looks like a Brothers in Arms sort of game to me.
Summon Night Twin Age: Seireitachi no Kyoumei Japan Genre: RPG-me-do
The franchise returns on DS. Shame Swordcraft Story 3 never made it over here.

Kazoku Minna de Nippon Shiatsu Shikai Kanshuu: RakuRaku Shiatsu Navi Link
DS Sokudoku Junior Link
August 31st
Genius DS - Equal Cards Europe Genre: Math-me-do
Released in Japan as "Sansuu Puzzle Game: Equal Card DS" and out next month in the US as "Math Play". This is yet another "hey isn't doing maths fun?" sort of games with some kinda of cat probably breaking your balls if you mess up.
Undercover: Dual Motives Europe Genre: Adventure-me-do
Where the hell did this come from? This looks like a very pretty graphic adventure title like the ones we had in the early 90's on the Amiga & 486 PCs. PC adventure gamers may already know the other game in the series on the PC called “Undercover: Operation Wintersun”. Anyway set in the 1930's just before WWII is about to begin, players take over the control over Russell, a physicist suspected to have betrayed secrets, who has only 24 hours to prove his innocence & also Audrey, the secretary of the research compound’s director. Together, they have to prove Russell’s innocence. Most of the time though, the player will control the two playable characters – Russell and Secretary Audrey – switching between them at will with the press of a button. In order to solve the game’s puzzles he will have to apply their respective abilities and coordinate their actions. Could be a sleeper hit, but I kinda expect the game to miss the release date.
EDIT: Its actually just been dumped an hour ago!
Worms: Open Warfare 2 Europe Genre: Blow the other worms up-me-do
After the US release date slipped till the 4th September, I'm hoping that this will make the date over here. Looking to improve on everything the shoddy DS title did, the developers are hoping to make an excellent DS Worms game. Lots of weapons, modes, extras and WFC modes plus apparently some very good single player missions. The developers are pushing this as a proper new Worms game rather than a spin-off. Lets hope it delivers!

Also out are:
Dragon Ball Z: Goku Densetsu (US title Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu)
Impossible Mission, which I quite liked as it played the same as the original, had the same levels and also had some brand new ones too!
Dynasty Warriors: Fighters Battle DS, which was crap and had a filesize that was stupid.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Looks like a decent week but I'm still busy with GS3 and Run Factory. As usual dates change and don't always expect a game to get dumped.
