Nintendo revealed a whole stack of titles that it will publish at a press conference today in Japan. These are expected to be released next year.

There's Puzzeloop (Puzzle, working title), Wish Room (Adventure, working title) and Custom Robo DS (Action-RPG, working title). More intriguingly, a Tingle RPG (working title) was revealed - the most irritating character in the Zelda series gets a game? Maybe you have to go map-hunting...

Now for the Japanese-named ones: Densetsu no Starfy 4 (Action, working title) is a Japan-only platforming series. Kaitou Wario (working title) is an Action game that translates to Thief Wario - the bottom DS screen shows a 2D stage, while the top one has a map. Detect Hacker (Adventure, working title) features anime-style characters and 2D artwork. New Super Mario Brothers has an expected release in Japan of 2006, so there's a bit of a wait. Oh, and interestingly, there was no "working title" listed...

Oideyo Doubutsu no Mori (Communication, 23/11/2005) is Animal Crossing: Wild World, while Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training (Brain Activity Software, 29/11/2005) is a sequel to the DS brain training game that was a massive hit in the region. Eigo ga Nigate na Otona no DS Training can be translated as "Adult DS training for people who are bad at English". Speaks for itself, really.
