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.

 

[Whiz]

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - 5 Sept.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - 5 Sept.

You sure? Nintendo-europe have it as "Oct" while GAME have it as 16th Sept.
Konami-Europe just states "September"

 

[cja]

It can't be Sept 5th, games don't get released on Mondays here.

 

[Shiggy]

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

 

[Falch]

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.

Lost in Blue: September
Lunar Genesis (European name): November

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'

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Bubble Bobble Revolution. o_o

 

[Falch]

Lost in Blue: September
Lunar Genesis (European name): November

Thx shiggy. I'll import Lunar, if it's any good.

 

[gamewhooper]

God damn...

So many good DS games.

 

[neopokekun]

According to 505 Game Street September 05 will also see the European release of Devilish and Billiard Action (aka Simple DS Series Volume 2: The Billiards)

 

[SantaC]

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)

 

[Frankfurter]

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.

The last list I saw actually listed both for 2005(November AFAIK).

 

[Tim the Wiz]

FYI, Eurogamer confirmed Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow as having a September 16 release date.

 

[Shiggy]

The last list I saw actually listed both for 2005(November AFAIK).

Wrong. AC currently has no European date.

 

[Juice]

It'd be a shame if NOE let Animal Crossing delay into eternity in Europe. Again.

 

[nubbe]

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.
