Wow! What to say:
First thing... Final Fantasy 3.... shame they aren't talking about the US version but I'm glad to see the game finally recieving an update and the DS having some good RPGs.
Advance Wars DS... Yay! The screen for the sky might makes things confusing but either way I'm looking forward to it!
Pokemon Dash - Looks absolutely terrible, the only saving grace being a couple of screens that look like a Pilotwings style parachuting minigame.
BTW don't think anyone mentioned it here but plug in Pokemon Emerald and a new track or course opens up in Pokemon Dash... just an example or how GBA carts could make great expansion/addon packs.
Anyway I'll wait for Pokemon Platinum and Pokemon Diamond I think... god those names are gonna make me cry almost as much as:
Feel the Magic XY/XX - God Sega suck for giving this one of the worst localised names of all time (the Jap version is translated as 'I Would Die for You')... personally speaking I'm really interested in this ~ think love adventure meets mini-games a la Wario Ware by the guys behind equally unique stuff like Rez etc...
Band Brothers - A rhythm game on the DS?! Konami need to take note...
Super Mario 64 DS - Doesn't look as great as Mario 64 to be honest... mind you I was playing the PAL version with slight borders, washed out colours and absolutely stacks of anti-alising... as long the control schemes work then I'm cool.
Anyway the whole idea of each character having their own abilities and now a whopping 150 stars to get (not to mention minigames) sounds like a great update worthy of purchase (well better than direct ports Sony are dishing out on the PSP).
Metroid Hunters - Interesting to see that the display and map have switched sides... is this for the other control method (i.e. no stylus) or have Nintendo actually switched it round regardless. I'd think it'd be a bit harder to aim and fire with stylus if the gameplay screen is the top one and not the touch sensitive one, but still the new screens look absolutely amazing so I'm looking forward.
Mario Kart - Definately one to get... think of the multiplayer! I can imagine Nintendo using GBA carts to expand the track selection in the future as well...
Graphics don't lok that great to be honest, but as long as it plays fast and smoothly then I'm sold. Well it's either that or Ridge Racer *yawn*... where's Soul Calibur, A Tails Of game etc... personally I'd love to see a DS version of Donkey Konga that uses the touch screen as the drum faces and the mic as the clap input; it'd be perfect for the DS.
Oh and also I'd like to see Nintendo release a port/update of F-Zero X and the 64DD Expansion pack... 16 player link races with the ability to trade tracks, if Nintendo did this I'd probably cry with happiness.
My only problem is the price tag which I think is marked ever so slightly too high... okay other games especially third party ones may retail for slightly less but $30 doesn't work out much more than a full priced console game. $25 would have appealed to me a lot more ~ DS games will (I gaurantee) retail for £19.99 over here in the UK as a result but if they only cost $25 in the US it would have been more likely that they sold for £14.99, which of course works out much better for us.
Anyway they're still pretty cheap and inevitably will become even cheaper so I can't complain really.
