GC: Latest Nintendo release dates for forthcoming 120 DS games

Nintendo has just released an extensively updated document detailing the European release dates for DS games for the rest of the year (and a little beyond).

Although specific days are listed for the majority of the games, there are generic entries under a month, season or even year. Also, there could be the odd slight inconsistency – for instance, according to EA, MySims is out September 21st, whereas Nintendo's official document simply states a 2007 release. In such cases, we've left things as Nintendo included.

Naturally, game releases are subject to change so we wouldn't advise trying to sue Nintendo should any of the following games not make it out when it's expected to – this is an updated release schedule, after all, and there'll obviously be others.

Nevertheless, it should at least give you some idea of how to best plan your gaming budget over the coming months.

Alternatively, point yourself in the direction of our regularly updated DS release calendar.
