Japanese DS development list @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on August 03, 2004

News: Everything that's in development for the DS in Japan.

To go along with the final details and pictures of the DS, Nintendo recently released a list of Japanese support that has been pledged towards the new handheld. There are currently 120 titles in development worldwide with 64 coming from Japan. Many of those 64 come from popular franchises, including new titles in the Castlevania, Mega Man, Dragon Ball Z, Viewtiful Joe, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy: Crystlal Chronicles, Bomberman, Harvest Moon and Sonic series'. Like all DS announcements, none of these titles have a release date or retail price. And many have tentative titles. Some of these games will also never make it out of Japan, but we won't know which ones until closer to the DS's release date. However, they are all confirmed in development.
