Latest Nintendo US winter 2007/08 DS release schedule lists 129 games

Nintendo has released an updated list of its forthcoming US release dates for DS titles for the rest of the year and, crucially, into the first quarter of 2008.

You'll note one or two surprises, as well as some long overdue release date indications for some of the more anticipated titles, but on the whole things are more or less as you'd expect them.

As ever, game releases are subject to change so keep that in mind when planning your DS gaming over the next six months. Oh, and remember these are US dates, meaning some of these games won't appear in Europe for a while longer still (if at all, in some cases).

If that's a traumatising prospect, you could always consider importing them. (And if that thought seems just as daunting, why not click over to our easy-to-follow How To guide to importing games?)
