Oxygen has announced it'll be releasing four new DS games this March and April.

The first is a previously unannounced children's title called Hurry Up Hedgehog!, which is described as a family-friendly brainteaser that has you manoeuvring hedgehogs through various garden hazards – presumably including trying to stop them falling asleep underneath freshly-built bonfires – to a finishing line. It's out on March 28th.

On the same date, Powershot Pinball Constructor (pictured) will also be released. This is a game that enables you to create and design your own pinball tables, then share and play on them against others.

Then there's Pirates: Duels on the High Seas, which sails into shops on April 18th. It's an adventure that sees you looking for the seven keys of the seven seas while battling against all manner of enemies, from sea monsters to Blackbeard himself.

Finally, also on April 18th, pool game 8Ball Allstars rolls in and promises to deliver an assortment of authentic and fantasy tables, online play with chat rooms, a Winner Stays On mode and several challenge, head-to-head and league games.

It's an interestingly disparate line-up but is it a quality one? We'll hopefully bring you reviews of all the above nearer to their respective release dates.
