Lik Sang started shipping PSP Euro software last Christmas, and the moment has come to turn some focus on the Nintendo DS! Timing couldn't be better as we kick things off with not less than 8 hot upcoming preorder titles that are as cool and fun as they are innovative and original. All games presented below, though published in Europe, are region free, as with every Nintendo DS game from any origin. They will play flawlessly on your NDS system, whether you actually own a Japanese, American, European, Australian or African edition of it. In theory, even mixed races Nintendo DS handhelds would run these titles ;)

Coming on March 31st (a big day for Nintendo of Europe apparently), huge hits are reaching EU shores: Animal Crossing Wild World, Capcom's Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Resident Evil Deadly Skies and Prof. Kawashima's Brain Training. Animal Crossing DS, already available as US version, is the latest social phenomenon from Nintendo that took Japan by storm, with already two millions of users in the Mother country. It's hard to walk any street of Tokyo without encountering somebody playing AC:WW. Exchange your friends codes to visit each other's village, and add a dimension to the way you socializeby growing some kind of virtual extension parallel to your real life encounters. Forget about the out-fashioned Pokemons, Reality TV or Nintendogs, Animal Crossing is the next thing that brings people all together around the same subject, a watercooler show of a game really. Unisex, in that sense that it is appreciated by girls as much as by the traditional male audience, and suitable between 7 or 77 years old, Animal Crossing is one of these Nintendo magic titles that truly expand the reach of the community, bringing more people to play games, whichever your sex, whichever your age.

Also, in that "expanding the demographics" trend is Brain Training DS from Professor Kawashima that is appealing a lot to people in their 40's or above in Japan and that is even used in some hospital programmes for the elderly nowadays, in order to fight senilisation. One week before all that, Worms Open Warfare from Team17 will be playable on the go and with touchscreen, while nextgen Tetris DS and the ultra popular music oddity Electroplankton are coming out April 21st. One week later, on the 28th, it's the genius Atlus creation, Trauma Center: Under the Knife, that will allow you to play doctor with your stylus as surgery tool. Addictive as hell, Trauma Center is selling like hot cakes stateside and in the land of the Rising Sun, the title being already poised for a remake on the upcoming Nintendo Revolution.
