While the Wii and Nintendo DS are still the highlights of many games’ living rooms and pockets on the go, some may have wondered what Nintendo has in store for players in the months ahead. Today, Nintendo of Japan, care of Japanese website Degenki Online, have announced a bevy of games heading to Japan this year for both platforms.
While most of these were already known, there are a few standouts, including Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Tamashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 , a four player rhythm action follow up to what domestic players experienced in Elite Beat Agents. According to IGN, the first part of the Japanese title translates to “Burn! Hot Blooded Rhythm Soul!” Exciting!
Other notable entries for 2007 include Chibi Robo! Park Patrol for the DS, which we saw late last year in video form at Nintendo headquarters much to our collective joy, as well as numerous previously announced Wii releases such as Mario Strikers Charged and Battalion Wars 2, each slated with the rather ambiguous release window of “2007”.
