Diddy Kong Racing DS (February 5): I enjoy simulation racing games as much as the next guy, but it doesn’t get much more fun on this portable game machine than Mario Kart DS. I fully expect this monkey-ified version to be just as much fun, but with a few character changes. Donkey Kong should be around for the dual appearance, and who doesn’t enjoy hurling banana peels as that overgrown ape?
Wario: Master of Disguise (March 5): I’m-a-Wario, I’m-a-gonna win! Wario has been a fan favorite ever since his original introduction several years ago. In this action platformer, gamers take control of the pudgy anti-hero in a fairly unique way. You use the directional pad in all four directions, but the rest of the controls are dictated by the touchscreen. Sort of like Star Fox Command, I guess.
TMNT (March 13): Okay, this isn’t going to be for everyone. Yes, it’s that nostalgia kicking in for me again, as I think back to those great ninja turtle arcade games of the early 90s. I don’t know how good the new CG movie is going to be, and I haven’t been particularly impressed with the latest generation of shell shocking action, but somehow I still want to play this game.
Black & White Creatures (TBA): I’m not sure if this game will ever come to pass, considering that the original release date announced was “TBA 2006.” I’m not interested in this particular game, per se, as I am in seeing more strategy-based games hit the Nintendo DS. Don’t you think that it would be great to see ports of such popular franchises as Command & Conquer, Warcraft, and Civilization? Black & White on the PC was pretty fun too.
