New Kirby title and more (now with video!)
As part of its recent conference, Nintendo's released screen shots of six upcoming DS titles including a new Kirby adventure, a Pokémon typing-based game and the next entry in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, Mini-Land Mayhem.
There are some friendly dogs and fearsome dinos to see as well, not to mention some new screens from Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, so head over and check them out!
You can also see footage of these and more, including Okamiden, Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and Crafting Mama as part of a gameplay video reel in high or low definition.

It's not really a typing game, it's an educational game that helps kids translate Japanese kanji into standard letters.

Yeah, I don't see a typing game working on a DS at all. The screen is far too small and there's no references for your fingers.
I'm leaning towards XD375's explaination.

Thanks for the comments. We've edited the article to reflect that the Pokémon game is based in typing but is not necessarily in the "typing game" genre, and that the Mario vs. Donkey Kong game is not the news, just the new screenshots.

@SmaMan: As bad as the game is, I really wish I had Mario to teach me typing, and not this Kewala thing we had at my school.

Why a new Kirby DS game? I mean, that's cool and all but we already have 3 kirby games for the system! Why not just make it for the 3DS, especially when it's so close to release?

Kirby game? Wha? That's kind of odd considering how close Epic Yarn is to making it's way into the world and also kind of weird due to how different the Wii game is to the previous installments. This DS game looks very classic Kirby to me...

SmaMan said:
@PSICoffee
Well why another Pokemon game on the DS for that matter, there's at least 15 of them!
#14
PSICOffee said:
@SmaMan
exactly, I was thinking the same thing. It's like Kirby is gonna be like that at this rate.

one would have thought that having 4 different kirbies at the same time was crazy enough. Now we have 10.

I hope that the next Kirby game doesn't have that crappy music that has plagued the recent portables. If it does, I'm complaining!

@11: Three?
1. Kirby Super Star Ultra
2. Kirby Squeak Squad
3. ???
Yeah there are only two. And even if there were three, why should that stop them from making another?
