Shit weeks for DS owners, only Track & Field worth giving a go, unless you know Japanese. This is the last time that I'll be doing these threads, the DS/Wii one will still be here but I'm lacking interest plus time to do the other consoles even though VVoltz & Tjas do most of the work, but I hope that VVoltz continues with his own threads, though I know Tjas isn't that interested in doing PC ones.
Read to know when a game could be dumped:
These dates are what retailers say is out unless stated otherwise, sometimes they make dates up for pre-ordering purposes. These dates could also be "shipping dates" which usually means that that's the date when games get shipped to stores so a game could either be in stores on that day or after. Some games may get delayed some others not listed may appear but at the moment of posting these are correct. Also just because a game is released in stores it doesn't mean that they'll appear on our internets but NA titles usually appear on our 'nets Wednesday night UK time. I love you with mouth.

Developer: Sega Publisher: Sega
Sega jumps on the bandwagon, can they do anything new and diferent? Well aside from Ninetendo's own Brain games the only other good one is the one by Gameloft but lets see. This is the English version of the Japanese game "Touch de Uno DS"
Fantasy Aquarium
Region: North America Genre: Sea life looking afterer
Developer: ? Publisher: Destineer (oh noes!)
A port of the English game Fantasy Aquarium by DS, where you look after and collect fish but in this one (there is another coming soon from the same people which is a version of the Japanese game Aquarium by DS) you can look after none fish like Whales, Dolphins and Penguins as well as other fish like Sharks, seahorses and so on. So if you have an desire to look after fish and that via your DS than erm this is the one for you. I might try this one but it could turn out badVideo is of a Japanese advert of the two games.

Early footage of this was dreadful but it was clearly early and if you look at the vid posted you'll be pleased to see that its look better and smoother. Could be better than Orcs & Elves and a lot of people enjoyed the GBA version though from what I hear its just the same but tarted up a bit and a few new player avatars.

Soma Bringer
Region: Japan Genre: Action RPG
Developer: Monolith Soft Publisher: Nintendo
By Monolith Soft who gave us the Xenosaga & Baten Kaitos Series, comes an RPG Nintendo are hoping to be up there with Final Fantasy & Dragon Quest games. Soma Bringer tells the story of a world powered by an energy source called Soma. Recently, the balance of Soma has been destroyed, leading to an appearance of mysterious creatures known as "visitors." You play as a member of an armed force out to destroy these creatures. Everything is done in real time, no boring turn based battles here and everything is button based so at least there are no forced stylus features or stupid mini games. I'm hoping that this is great, the trailer and previews have been very promising. So far Japanese scores have been very favourable with Famitsu giving it 8/8/8/8.

Also out in Japan but not worth writing up:

Fizz
Region: Europe Genre: Puzzle
Developer: Lexicon Entertainment Publisher: Lexicon Entertainment
You're faced with is a gameboard consisting of 25 nodes on a 5X5 grid, each of which has four coloured antennae at its corners. All you have to do is rotate the nodes with your stylus to align antennae (all randomly placed) of the same colour diagonally from each other. The more antennae you align, the greater the energy flow you'll be able to generate between the nodes, and as we all know, energy flow means points and prizes. To get in your way of this are meteor showers and asteroids which break the annatae up and also there are aliens that come onto the board to destroy the nodes. There are way too many puzzlers on the DS but at least one sounds like that it could be decent.

New International Track & Field Date might be wrong, most UK retailers say 31st March
Region: Europe Genre: Sports
Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami
I love this series and I'm praying that the date is correct but I doubt it as hardly any games come out on a Saturday in Europe. So this is Konami celebrating the 25th anniversary of T&F games and its decided to chuck in some of its characters from its long history of games. So far announced are: Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, Evil Rose from Rumble Roses, Frogger from erm Frogger, Simon Belmont from Castlevania, Oolong from Yie Ar Kung-Fu, and Pentaro from Parodius as well as some characters made just for the game. There are 24 events, only 4 have been announced which are 100-meter dash, Long jump, 110-meter hurdles, Weightlifting & Trap Shooting but I have seen swimming in the screens. New International Track & Field features single player career and training modes in addition to Wi-Fi multi-player between 2 to 4 players, a character-based minigame challenge mode and a worldwide player ranking system. The original Track and Field game will also be available to play. The gameplay of New International Track & Field differs from the traditional button mashing and joystick-wiggling gameplay of the original games in that players use the motion of the stylus to set a rhythm for their character. In addition, the game will also feature uses for the DS' dual screens and microphone. I hope its better than the dull Sonic & Mario one.
Also out on this week but probably deserve this award:

Sega Bass Fishing
Region: US Genre: Fishing
Developer: Cavia Inc. Publisher: Sega
Why do Bass fishing? Bass fish are dull, they should have done Sega Marine Fishing as that one is better. Ok featuring some levels from the Dreamcast and some from the Arcade as well as some just for the Wii, you fish and stuff. No fishing rod, its all Wiimote which is stupid but then expected as Sega didn't do a PROPER lightgun for their lightgun ports or plan on doing Maracas for Samba de Amigo mega fail but I guess it could be a decent port.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
Region: Europe Genre: Footy
Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami
Developed by Konami’s football Studio in Tokyo, the game contains all the realism and intuitive controls associated with the series. The PSP version of PES 2008 shares a lot in common with the existing PlayStation 2 game, with a wide range of tournaments and leagues on offer, alongside an all-new World Tour mode, wherein users are set a series of challenges as they tour the globe. As each task is successfully completed, further tests designed to show the capability of your chosen squad are unlocked. Full Edit modes have also been incorporated into PES 2008, while the data sharing aspect has been totally reworked to allow users to continue building their team while away from their home system. As such, Master League information can now be swapped between the PSP and PlayStation 2 versions, as can League, World Tour and Cup Mode data.
