DS Titles for the Holiday Season

You a big DS hand-held fan? Or do you want to be? Perhaps the list of 30 new titles will make you think happy thoughts for this holiday season...

Perhaps Nintendo is just holding back or all the titles "just happen" to be ready around the holiday season (dates are vague, but their all due out in late 2006).

There is a good list of pre-order games for the DS, here are a few that look good...

• Opera Browser: Ok, not a game. Still cool. How else do you browse for nude people on your hand-held DS?
• Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin: How long has it been since we saw a new Castlevania 2D side scroller? Nice.
• Star Wars: Lethal Alliance: Is set between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A new Hope. Star Wars fans unite!
• Panzer Tactics DS: If it has Panzer in the title it's going to own. C'mon, tactical tank strategy gaming on a hand-held? What a great way to wait for your oil change!
• Nacho Libre: Yeah, I said it. Based on the movie - but a wrestling video game. Picture a wresetling game with comedy. How many wrestling games you have for your DS? None, right? So pretend "Nacho Libre" is the WWE with a little less storyline...
• Final Fantasy III: It sold a half million copies in Japan during the first week of sales. It can't be that bad right? After all it has the two key words everyone loves "Final" and "Fantasy" - regardless to the lack of "final" in any of the fantasies put out by Square Enix.
• Need For Speed: Carbon: Apparently, the last NFS game didn't do so hot on the DS but why stop there? Make something cool, or so we hope. There is supposed to be some open-world city to explore in this release. Worth a look.

There are a few of the upcoming games, hopefully they'll all be quality and fun on the DS. Thus far, I've been extremely impressed with my DS Lite and I'd pickup half the games on the list above if they play as good as the games I already own.



Thanks to TANK for finding some of the list
