The next two months for the DS is going to empty my wallet

[Simply Dave]

Holy moly, why do they release all these awesome games in such a period of time? I haven't bought any DS games since NSMB but that's going to change soon.

Clubhouse Games
Contact
Harvest Moon Ds
Mega Man ZX
Cooking Mama
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Mario BBall 3 on 3
Mario vs Donkey Kong
Children of Mana

EDIT: I totally forgot Final Fantasy III comes out on Nov. 14. I guess I better add that to the list.


And, of course, Yoshi Island 2 and the new Castlevania are right on their heels!

I'm going to have to sell some of my games to get all this. Or ask my wife for a bigger allowance. LOL

[-hellvin-]

Interested in Mega Man ZX, Mario Vs DK, Children of Mana. Possibly Dragon Quest...but I dunno? Slime as a main hero?

As for Yoshi's Island 2 & Castlevania...ohhhh yeah, those are instant buys for me ;D!

[blissfulnoise]

Contact is by Grasshopper Manufacture.

It's a day one buy for me.

But, yes, after a few months of bleh, the DS is starting to pick back up again. Cooking Mama looks pretty rad too.

[joshnickerson]

Ironically, the DS is the reason I'm not getting a Wii anytime soon... too many games, not enough cash!

[Half Japanese]

My "looking forward to" list for the DS in the near future:

- SNK vs. Capcom: Cardfighter's Clash 2
- Starfox Command
- Contact
- Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
- Marvel Universe TCG
- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

and of course...

- Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting.

Contact is a release day buy for me as well. Mario Basketball, Castlevania, Mario vs. DK and Yoshi's Island are must haves too.

Looking at screens of Contact, I'm reminded a little bit of Earthbound...is it just me?

Nope, you're not the only one.

IGN has a hands-on preview of Contact up:

I will be buying Elite Beat Agents on release day, along with Cooking Mama, Contact, and Card Fighters Clash.

I don't think I'll be buying as many DS games this fall/late summer as I did last year. DS's lineup last year was crazy.

[sirhansirhan]

I am so going to buy Contact, Children of Mana, Yoshi's Island 2, Cooking Mama, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Elite Beat Agents, Final Fantasy 3, and probably tons of others.

I'm especially excited about Contact (I've been on a big Atlus kick lately) and Cooking Mama.

[2Dskillz]

A friend and I were discussing this earlier tonight. It is definitely making me consider holding off on purchasing a Wii early next year.

[DigitalSpace]

I definitely plan on getting Yoshi's Island 2 and Castlevania when they come out.

[GM80]

MechAssault's right around the corner as well, unless it gets delayed.

[exit]

Contact looks like the most unique DS games yet, it's nice to see companies actually putting the touch screen to good use. Of course I'm also waiting for Castlevania and Final Fantasy 3, as well as a few others that slip my mind right now.

[MrRoboto19XX]

I am continually impressed at just how many quality games come out for the ds at such a rapid pace. It seems for the past year, there has been at least 1 or 2 games every month that have seemed to be must haves. Its really amazing, thats pretty unheard of for a console, especially a handheld.

Anyway, for me its all about Cardfighter's Clash and Elite Beat Agents.

[JWKobayashi]

Dammit, I forgot about Elite Beat Agents... there's another purchase.

I'm going to have to get a 2nd job just to keep up. :(

[Leo_A]

I'm just planning on picking up Zelda, Yoshi's Island 2, and Intellivision Lives (If it gets a publisher). Also have Zelda and Super Paper Mario for the Game Cube, should be a good fall for that system thanks to Nintendo even if it is on its last legs.

[Simply Dave]

I forgot Final Fantasy III is due out in November.

Anybody planning on picking that one up?

[swlovinist]

This is a good season to be a Nintendo Owner. Hell, even the gamecube has some upcoming games that are going to rock.

[PDorr3]

I am REALLY looking foeward to castlevania, DoS was so damn good, I just hope this new one is a bit more difficult. Not to mention I need to get a wii....omg I need money!

[Simply Dave]

Yeah, I think of all the games I'm most looking forward to the new Castlevania. I think it's going to be amazing (or at least I hope it is).

Still waiting for Nintendo to bring over the new GBA Earthbound. It'll be a shame if we don't get it.

[jobowyer]

Current List of non-Wii purchases for the remainer of the year. Can't get them all, not because of the money but because I need time to you know, work and eat and stuff...

I'm kinda glad to see a stady flow of good games this month - I haven't played my DS in a while.

I'm looking forward to Mega Man ZX, Starfox Command, and Mario vs DK 2.

And typical - right when I finally beat Castlevania: DoS, the new one comes out. But you don't hear me complaining!

[LiquidPolicenaut]

A lot of the games listed I definitely plan on trying first, but the ust-buys for me are: Castlevania, FF III, and Hotel Dusk. I've still only seen one trailer of Hotel Dusk (from E3), but from that alone I want it.

I didn't put Hotel Dusk on my list because I haven't seen it on any release sheets. I enjoyed Trace Memory and of course Phoenix Wright (2dskillz, when you gonna finish with my copy?). Hotel Dusk looked really good from what I saw of it.

[2Dskillz]

Last night I tallied all of these great games coming out. Scary...

In addition to all of the great titles already mentioned there is also:
Star Trek: Tactical Assault
Steel Horizon

Maybe not MUST OWNs but still more to keep an eye on.

P.S. Jobowyer I am working case 4 now. I have been busy in the Trauma Center lately.

[Simply Dave]

Anyone pick up Mega Man ZX yet?

Impressions?

I might pick it up this weekend. I wanted to see what other people thought of it first.
