Boy is this a good day for Nintendo fanboys. Nintendo Japan have released a list of all games coming up this year in Japan (and most probably all of them will take at-least five months to get to Europe). Upon reading the announcements for a new version of ‘Panel De Pon’ (read, Tetris Attack, one of Craig and I’s favourite games ever) they then tell of a sequel to the legendary export-king ‘Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan‘, the original game sold loads on import websites all over the world due to it’s ‘zany’ Japanese styling and music. Compared with its lukewarm sales in Japan, it’d be nice to see a worldwide release of this one as well as the western quasi-sequel ‘Elite Beat Agents‘.

As well as these unexpected diamonds being announced we’ve also got the confirmation of other games we already knew about being released this year; Zelda DS, Fire Emblem Wii, Super Paper Mario (April 19th!), Wii Brain, Health & Music software (I can’t wait to compose the Zelda theme for myself), Disaster (supposed launch title eh?), Project H.A.M.M.E.R (Theres another one…), Animal Crossing Wii(!!!), Smash Bros Brawl (I’m gonna miss Mr. Game & Watch ), Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Galaxy.

All I can say is i’m importing Panel De Pon DS, according to Eurogamer it will feature online 4 player WiFi play and voice chat. I gotta get me this game!
