Nintendo Reveals More DS Games, Publishers
StrikerObi writes "Over at Planet GameCube, we've posted an expanded list of Japanese-announced Nintendo DS titles currently in development for their new dual-screened handheld system. Highlights include a new 'Mana' game from Square-Enix and a new RPG from Game Arts, the makers of the Grandia series." GameSpot's Japanese correspondent provides the full list of games, including the games "previously announced at E3", and also comments: "Among the more interesting developments, Konami Japan will release a Boktai game, while Konami Tokyo will release a Castlevania game for the DS."
Pokemon: Hey, I didn't say no originals... but note they still do that crap with "Connect to the opposite color to have all the fun."
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Yes.
the Golden Sun series: No, that is by Camelot Co, Ltd. (Own the first one, not my style but a solid game.)
Advance Wars: Intelligent Systems, not nintendo. (Own the first one, haven't beat it yet. Would probably have gotten the second by now.)
Fire Emblem: Also Intelligent Systems.
Metroid Fusion: Yes, but Zero Mission: Remake, albeit one with actual effort.
Zelda: Four Swords: I had been under the impression that this was a remake of A Link to the Past that had multiplayer; I see now I was wrong. (But add A Link to the Past to the remake list...)
Now, please stop reading into what I said. Never said it was bad to do the remakes. I have Doom 2 and it's cool. But they've released like 20 remakes, maybe more if you count each E-Reader game seperately, to like 4 or 5 original games... that's about one original a year. Frankly, all they have to do to make me happy is to take the engine from Yoshi's Island, and make a new game from it. The content coming out of Nintendo is quite complacent.
