Cristal Chronicle is looking great ... so is NG : DS . The only downside are the tons of SE ports ... I wish there would be less , and higher quality ones ...

Tons? There are 4. 3 of them are the Castle in the Sky trilogy which fans have been demanding be remade on one system for a decade, and one of them is Final Fantasy IV, which is one of the most popular FF games. How are those not high quality?

The Square Enix games on the DS constitute some of their biggest games this generation, and completely dwarf their efforts on all the other systems, including the PSP. The only possible exception to that would be the PS3 with FFXIII, but DQIX is the bigger seller in Japan, and has gotten just as much dev time as FFXIII.

Anyway, added a few more games. Bangai-O, Spore, and Flower, Sun, and Rain.


 @Naznatips:  I've noticed the Dev time on DQ9 is exceptionally long compared to the superb ports SE has done with the older FF and DQ games.  Either they've completed DQ9 and sitting it on the shelf till they've got the ports done as well or this game is getting polished like you wouldn't believe.  Considering the ports have been very high quality. What should we expect from DQ9?

I honestly don't know what they could improve over the ported games to DQ9 on the DS.  It'll be something to watch for sure...



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I'm guessing it's being made larger and given more online functionality. Don't be surprised if DQIX is the most robust game in the Dragon Quest franchise and the biggest handheld game ever.

I've added a couple more games.



=p Thx for the update my list gets bigger and bigger..

Wow amazing lineup... I feel like I won't have much money left this year. XD



Wow. I'm really looking forwards to two on that list the most. Ninja Gaiden, and Sonic Chronicles (I really have faith in Bioware).
Advance Wars: DoR is GOTY for me on DS so far, and these other ones look very good:
final fantasy 4
fire emblem ds
front mission
tales of innocence

Very good list for RPGs on the DS this year.



Just kiss the tip.


Holy crap that's a lot of RPGs! Not that I complain or anything, of course :)



Where is the new pokemon ranger game?

PD: Info for Sonic RPG

- water color/hand drawn graphical style
- 4 party members
- character specific abilities
- 11 party members total
- Characters known thus far: Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat
- Full stylus control
- split team at certain moments
- rings = money
- no random battles, enemies can be seen
- turn-based fighting. Make attack selections for all characters before the animations continue
- special attacks play out like Elite Beat Agents
- team attacks
- “Fatigue Points” instead of MP
- ability to choose which attributes you level up
- purchase/level special attacks
- Rough story breakdown: Sonic is on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. Gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 chaos emeralds are missing. Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a “twist” between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.
- 2 acts: Sonic-themed areas and darker worlds
- Remixed classic tunes
- “fully animated cut scenes”
- simple dialogue trees
- Side quests
