*** Upcoming Nintendo DS Game Previews *** (56K warning)

[vulcanjedi]

Hmm

I'm going to work my way through all the games I can rent before I buy any DS games. Except for Animal Crossing. That I will be buying on day 1.

Currently playing Spider Man. Slightly embarassing that my 6 year old beat me in finishing the first two levels.

As for the screen protectors they can be tricky but worth it even it they get a few bubbles. Just get a good one and take your time and use some zero residue head cleaner and some compressed air (from a distance) and make sure the surface is perfect as possible. Trust me, I have had a pocketPC for 2 years without a screen protector and it's not pretty

i only know that it def. comes.....sorry
i hope they pimp up the graphics somehow

[Cauterize]

This games leads me to a big concern though, can we replace the touchscreen overlay? It takes quite a beating especially in Feel the Magic.

Use a Q-tip/Cotton Bud Stick/Ear wax Cleaner-Outer
Its meant to work just as well and wont hurt the DS

How does a Q-tip help the touch screen?

[Lady Jaye]

Softer tip than the stylus, I suppose...

[Famidrive-16]

Oooohhh, a new Goemon.

[Crush Crawfish]

Damn, it looks like the DS is ready to kick some ass with these games! I can't wait for goemon...gonna have to import that one as soon as I can.

well, it's soft, if you use it instead of the stylus it's not going to ruin the screen

Well its still Pen-Like, has a point (sorta) and its gonna clean your screen while you play!

More reasons why Nintendo DS is probably my favorite handheld ever!

Super Mario 64 alone was enough of a reason for me to get it...

[Jive3D]

Picked up Yoshi Touch & Go today. Pretty fun, and different too.

[Jasoco]

Touch and Go indeed is fun once you get the hang of it. Though the bar down the middle is my only complaint. I wish Nintendo had instead dumped the DS way of life for a single giant touch screen in these cases. Especially if it could be rotated. Picture Ikaruga or a gigantic super Tetris block dropper.

Still, a lot of fun games I am guaranteed to get for the DS before 2005 ends. What have I seen for the PSP that even made me want one? Namco Museum. Nice start, let's get some more.

Sad a lot of the good games won't be here until at least Fall.

[WiseSalesman]

A new goemon? Holy shit, if it comes stateside, I'm sold.

[Zubiac666]

A new goemon? Holy shit, if it comes stateside, I'm sold.

It will be released in April in Japan and i guess it's safe to say that you can buy it in June/July in U.S.

HERE are some other screenies.All the graphics are made with a special japanese paint-brush method.I think it looks unique,awesome and wonderfully at the same time...esp in motion.

uuhhh...and even better:
If you buy "Goemon 1+2"-remakes for GBA and plug them into DS while playing Goemon DS you will unlock "XexeX" and "Gradius" on the GBA game.
Just think what you can unlock and play in the DS version's amusement centre.Maybe a dozen of konami arcade games.

I found another 2 interesting titles which will come in 2005:

Moonlight Fables
Nothing is known yet about this game but it looks like it will be some sort of feaudal-japanese horror-action/adventure.

Concept-Art

Devilish
A classic "gamegear" (overhead-)action game makes it to the DS.It also uses
both screens as playfield.

Pretty sweet looking promos!

[Daniel Thomas]

The games are looking better and better. The new Yoshi game does an excellent example of showing off what the DS can really do. I'm pretty openly pessimistic about Nintendo's future (especially if their plans to unveil another Gameboy in 2006 bear out - cough, Sega, cough), but these games are raising my hopes.

Let's hope the competition gives us some really innovative games.

[XxMe2NiKxX]

I had a movie somewhere of a Japanese DS promo, there's short videos of a good amounr of DS games, I'll see if I can dig up the link, you might need a Gamespot basic subsctription, though.

Geomon... *drools*

As it stands, Animal Crossing DS is the first game to support DS' online capabilities, which are activated if you're located in certian "hotspots". Interesting to see how that works out.
