I think I saw Mario Kart DS listed as a Q4 title, but not Animal Crossing in an earlier list, so I think AC will not be released in 2005 for Europe.
 
Castlevania is September 1st.

November:
Harvest Moon DS
Mario Kart DS
Mini R/C Racing
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Touch! Kirby
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
 
Nintendo's European release dates are a joke! And people in games shops actually wonder why I import... :lol
 
Wooh, turns out importing Kirby CC was really a smart decision. I might import Advance Wars too.

I just want Nintendo to hurry up and reveal some concrete info about their online DS plans. Like, will we be able to buy a simple WIFI USB device to go online, etc.

Btw, where are Lunar and Lost In Blue? Both are listed as coming out in september in the US.

Looking forward to Age Of Empires and Zoo Tycoon in particular. Hope they don't screw the conversions up.

It's a shame about the release dates, as recently I've been finding I can actually buy games from the UK for less, or the same amount, as importing them.

I don't know why, maybe it's exchange rates, maybe it's British prices going down, maybe it's import prices going up, maybe it's all of them, but I actually want to buy games in the UK now IF THEY'D JUST RELEASE THEM QUICKER FUCKINGPPLSQUXLIFSL;.S'
 
Dawn of sorrow is definitley september. I went into my local gamestory today here in Sweden and they said it's listed as September release (though no date confirmed yet)

The last list I saw actually listed both for 2005(November AFAIK).
 
Kirby Canvas Curse (Nintendo)
Mario Kart DS (Nintendo)
Sonic Rush (Sega)

are listed as November releases

It'd be a shame if NOE let Animal Crossing delay into eternity in Europe. Again.
Good thing the DS doesn't have a region lock.
You can get it (and other games) at least 6 months earlier and 50% cheaper without any hassle. :)
