With all the talk about how poor the DS's software library is at the moment, it's quite depressing but never fear the games are here!.......well almost

Heres a few of the up and coming games, sorry if my previews arent very helpful.

Another Code

Another code is an adventure game which has you begin on an Island were you must search for your father. The stylus will be used most of the time in the game as its a type of point and click adventure game, but instead of the characer moving to were you tap the stylus, the screen will scroll towards you, if im not mistaken.



Animal Crossing DS

This game needs no introuduction. It will be quite similar to the Gamecube version, however is now played on a 3D sphere instead of a flat surface. You will also be able to choose form a number of hats for your HUMAN character to wear, and the game will also be online. Expect a much more customisable and involving experience.



Gyakuten Saiban DS (working title)

An interesting title which has you play the role of an lawyer and you must gather evidence and take part in a court trial. There is a much more involving story but I dont want to ruin it for you.


Hands-On: Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt

Everyone who has bought a DS of played the demo of this game and would of had a taste of what is to come. The demo was mighty impressive and you can expect more weapons, more enemies, more levels and maybe a few more modes. (online perhaps?)



Mario Kart DS

Footage of Mario Kart DS was shown recently and looks very impressive. Seems to have the same gameplay of prevous Mario Karts, however the focus has gone back to a more N64 style of gameplay which is a good move IMO. A few enhancements are present as well as a handy overhead map on the bottom screen. Much more info is expected at E3.



Nanostray

Nanostray is a 2D space shooter with 3D graphics (cant confirm the 2D part), and has impressive graphics. Co-op, as well as an online scoring system on the developers website ensure much fun to be had. Upgradable weapons as well as 10+ levels point to this game becoming a hit...hopefully.



Super Mario Bros DS

A dream come true for 2D mario fans since a new sidescroller mario game will be coming out thanks to Nintendo. Im not certain wether this is a simple remake or a whole new game, but it does looks very different as video clips have shown the ability to increase Mario's sise to great proportions.



Need for Speed Underground 2 DS

EA's new DS racer certainly looks the part and it seems that a lot of effort is going into it, with an exlusive game mode and the ability to design (paint) any design you wish using the stylus.



Castlevania DS

Castlevania DS is the official sequel to Aria of Sorrow and will remain with a 2D presence which is good to see. The DS's microphone and touch screen will come in to play but not that much. It will be possible to trade souls with other DS's thanks to the DS's wireless abilities. Looks like another quality addition to the Castlevania library.



Lost In Blue

Another adventure game were playes find there character shipwrecked on a deserted island after an accident at sea. You will than come in contact with a girl and your adventure begins. The touch screen will come into play during challenging minigames and puzzles.
