I think its safe to say that there are some long awaited games here. Its been a while but this week the DS line up looks better than the Wii. I'm sure some pisser will go into the thread and say "meh nothing for me", some people are never happy.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Scribblenauts goes by the concept, "Anything you write, you can use."

A game to last a very long time, even once you have finished it you'll go back to try new words that have popped into your head. One of those games that'll be unique to each player that plays it as there are so many waysto finish each level. Thank you 5th Level for creating a game to make me excited about DS gaming again. Hopefully people will buy this game as the developers deserve the sales and it'll show publishers that people want original games.

While this is a Japanese title, the menus will apparently be in English. This will be released by Majesco (who have lately rescue Gauntlet for the DS) and they'll be releasing it in the West though they haven't said when. Hopefully it'll be a good arcade racer for the DS. Famitsu gave it 29/40 but then they always seem to rate arcadey titles low.

The biggest DS title of the year? I'd say so. Biggest game of the year...maybe.
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Scribblenauts goes by the concept, "Anything you write, you can use." The hero Maxwell has the power to utilize items in levels called Starites which allow him to later spawn material in the real world for his needs. Ladders, tools, weapons ... goldfish, even. If you can dream it, Maxwell can conjure it, and hopefully both of you can use it to solve your puzzles.

A game to last a very long time, even once you have finished it you'll go back to try new words that have popped into your head. One of those games that'll be unique to each player that plays it as there are so many waysto finish each level. Thank you 5th Level for creating a game to make me excited about DS gaming again. Hopefully people will buy this game as the developers deserve the sales and it'll show publishers that people want original games.

I really hope its good. IGN had a preview of it and they said it was fun, it controls very well and that its got an impressive engine. I wait with baited breath.

Burnout DS was totally shit right? Well this game looks better than that. This will be released as Sideswiped outside of Japan.
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Buckle up! It's guaranteed to be a bumpy ride. Sideswiped is an all new arcade style racing game for the DS. Go city to city earning cash for causing destruction and mayhem to your opponents and anything that gets in your way. Race down the streets earning points by crashing into your opponents and causing the maximum amount of damage!
* Purchase up to 11 different vehicles, from sports cars, to a bulldozer, or the mother of them all: the Armored Truck.
* Race in 5 different locations from New York to Las Vegas, or battle demolition derby style in the Arena.
* Go for the high score by earning destructive combos that set off a chain of explosions while crashing into your opponents.
* Play 2-4 mulitplayer via wireless play or upload and check high scores using the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.
* Experience a slew of different modes per location: Destruction, Crash Race, Time Attack, Normal Race, Bomb, and Bowling Event.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
While this is a Japanese title, the menus will apparently be in English. This will be released by Majesco (who have lately rescue Gauntlet for the DS) and they'll be releasing it in the West though they haven't said when. Hopefully it'll be a good arcade racer for the DS. Famitsu gave it 29/40 but then they always seem to rate arcadey titles low.

Square Enix remakes yet another old game that wasn't that great and tarts it up for the DS. In the West they slapped they called it "Final Fantasy Legends II" simply so people would buy it.
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The Final Fantasy Legend is now ready to be told again in this 3D remake of the 1991 Game Boy title. Enter a new world of RPG adventure, where the gods of the world have separated pieces of a mystical force known as Magi and hidden them throughout the lands. Choose a party of four heroes from humans, robots, and brand-new monsters, as they search the world for these powerful artifacts. Seek out a wide assortment of weaponry, combat skills, and magical attacks to augment the abilities of the humans and robots in your party. Weapons and armor realistically wear out over time and will need to be replaced, so keep a close eye on your party members.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not sure if I care for another Square Enix RPG, kinda bored of them to be honest but I'm sure you people will lap it up.
