Nintendo America spills 2008 DS release list
No danger of a DS games drought just yet
Nintendo of America has issued a press release stating its full line-up of games for the first half of 2008, both first and third party. Being from the US it's not quite as exciting as a full UK list would have been, but seeing as more often than not games come out here on either the same day or mere weeks afterwards, it gives us a pretty good idea of what we'll be getting on DS up until the summer.
Probably the biggest names on the list - and the ones that have piqued our interest - are Lost In Blue 3, which we weren't sure previously would released outside of Japan; Alone in the Dark, which is down for March; LEGO: Indiana Jones in spring and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness sometime during the second quarter of the year.
There are plenty more though - here's the full list:
