Resisting Nintendo's urge to touch has proved tricky on occasion, with the Dual Screen handheld proving pretty darn successful in just about every territory across the globe.
Okay, the PSP may eat into its lead when it eventually makes a splash in Europe later this year, but ultimately it's all about the games. And wouldn't you know, a brand new great big DS games list has been doing the rounds today, which we present below for your delectation.

Although there are few surprises amongst the 200-plus titles here, there's certainly many delights with Advance Wars 3 now confirmed for DS, as well as the splendid Katamari Damacy and a Metroid Pinball title all DS-bound.


Other delights include the improbably named Frogger Helmet Havoc (make up your own gags) and Caduceus Surgical Operation which will be of particular interest to one C&VG writer who has strange and unhealthy obsession with surgical games.
Of particular interest is the TBA (to be announced) column which figures down the bottom, where we see a Team Ninja game is promised. Splendid.

Anyway here's the list for you in full...
