The Nintendo DS will be getting a massive 67 titles added to its European library over the first three months of next year, including Children of Mana on January 12, Star Fox Command on January 26, Actionloop on January 26, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All, as yet undated but due sometime in the first quarter.

    I agree with captainwonton, except warioware that game is freaking awesome!
    Heatseeker looks decent aswell but meh not the best tilt, which is the best part of the wii.

    what the??? you give it a "POOR"???? no more in you guys. How can you say that it's a flaw not having minigames? it's TENNIS, it doens't need them. if it needed them it would be because it was a bad game which is not. getting fed up with some reviews in this site.

    Wow no word on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Europe. The only thing I know is that it could come out on Q2 for U.S. It would suck if it was delayed.

    Wheres Mario Galaxy?
    That was supposed to be a launch title and it's not even in Q1 for next year... very disapionting. But apart from that the line up is good, hopefully Q2 brings even more cool games like these. hopfully even better(er)

    Blimey, you never realise the vast amount of games to be released until you see them listed. Good show.

    Man, they're all either going to be ridicuously addictive, or pathetic ports.

    Nice early wario ware! But a bit of a slow Wii release schedule (and where's mario and metroid?)

    Still no news on metroid prime pinball either...

  • eric2mrng

    Posted Dec 21, 2006 3:08 am PT

    lots of games but nothing really really great.. hope they start releasing more n64 games on the vc during the same period.

  • ricardo-sene

    Posted Dec 21, 2006 3:03 am PT

    brazillian people access GameSpot too!!

    I like Nintendo, but I prefer games that have a deep story, action, mystery, like MSG, Gears Of War, RE, Halo, FF and others, and looks like Nintendo's more worry at doing games just for fun, like sports, music-games and minigames... The games list that sanderuli wrote is good, but I think they're too many few for a year

    Posted Dec 20, 2006 11:29 pm PT

    I was expecting a better list of games for the wii. Warioware looks pretty cool. Mario party 8 will prob be just like the other 7 versions. I am waiting for the new mario game.

    Still no date for FF3, Phoenix Wright 2 or Elite Beat Agents?. I hope Nintendo aren't going to abandon EU 'gamers' completely in their quest to appeal to the masses.

    It's bad enough I just spent ÂŁ200 on a Wii and there's only 2 games announced so far worth getting! (Zelda & Wario).

    I guess if your in the EU then Play-Asia is the way to go.

    Mario Party 8 should be amazing for the Wii. Can't wait to see some of those minigames.

  • MysticGenie

    Posted Dec 20, 2006 3:51 pm PT

    Color me unimpressed with the Wii lineup. There's not a single high-profile third-party game that really stands out and to be honest, the Xbox 360 lineup blows it out of the water. Unless Nintendo get its act together, the Wii will be a repeat performance of the Gamecube.

  • puppiemaster

    Posted Dec 20, 2006 3:46 pm PT

    no Metroid or Mario Galaxy on the list

  • theclaw135

    Posted Dec 20, 2006 3:43 pm PT

    It's on the PC where US gamers get a dull lineup compared to them. Sega in particular has done that recently. Crazy Taxi 3, Billy Hatcher, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Mega Collection Plus... Not to mention a different publisher released Guilty Gear X2 #Reload there.

    Although it wasn't sold here or Europe, Mega Man X8 for PC has both English mode and controller rumble which is rarely offered on that platform. It's in fact one of the greatest conversions from a console ever made.

    I feel sorry for DS owners over in those countries though. Why would Actionloop or whatever they call it in that region take so long to translate? I can understand the amount of text for Children of Mana or Pokemon Ranger being an issue, but a puzzle game? Wow, and to think Polarium Advance which was from the same developer and genre came out there nearly 6 months before US shelves.

    W00T Mario Party 8 has a realese date W00T

  • wooooode

    Posted Dec 20, 2006 3:06 pm PT

    I wounder how those dates will reflect on the US dates because some of those games are out here.
