We've seen a few big-name DS titles at this year's E3, most notably Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, but they're not the only titles coming to DS in the coming months and beyond.
Nintendo's current schedule for DS contains the above highlights as well as Sonic Colours, Super Scribblenauts and Okamiden, confirmed for a Western release in 2011. There are some notable absences, though: there's no sign of the recently-announced Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, no Pokémon Black and White and no The Last Window.
Take a look at the DS release schedule here and let us know what you think about the upcoming line-up.

My poor DSi. After seeing the 3DS I don't really care too much for regular DS games.
Just a little wondering, but I heard a rumor that some 3DS games can be compatible with the DS, but without 3D effects. Is that true, or just a complete rumor? I honestly don't feel like shelling out all of my money for a new handheld when I got my DSi last year
Jeez, not many DS titles that I'm interested in.
really we're getting it, i thought people talking about re: coded was something fans were wanting or something. i guess they couldnt come with any agreements with any of the corrupt u.s. cell phone providers to bring it to the states
@Crystalking I don't think that will happen, it could but it's unlikely. The 3DS has better graphics and a wide screen.
@SuperPeach Well it was worth a shot anyway. I'm quite happy with my Wii and DS games for the moment at least. Probably won't get a 3DS though since I'm flat broke T_T
Out with the old, in with the new! I'm not saddened in the slightest that the current DS lineup was mediocre, especially when I see the 3DS lineup.
I'm gonna miss the DS...I wish it wouldn't have ended so soon, but the 3DS looks epic.
Bah, nothing for me. All the more reason to get a 3DS.
The only DS game I'm getting before the 3DS is Super Scribblenauts! Then I'll say bye bye to my DSi. I don't really care if you can transfer DSiWare games because I got some really bad ones.
I wish there was more. I want to see Nintendo make a really, really good DS title that isn't a current universe. (Mario, Zelda, Etc.) It really isn't the best business option though. :/ They wonder why they are losing handheld sales after all the news about the 3ds? I have told people that they might want to hold off buying one because there will probably be a better system next year. It will probably just be a year where I catch up on older games that I don't have. goes back to staring at the 3DSes
The number of great DS titles seems to have really slowed down of late - they don't seem to be a weekly occurrence like they used to - but I still can't wait to get my hands on Okamiden and Ghost Trick.
It's really bugging me now, why do you guys keep putting a "u" in color?
Definitely getting Super Scribblenauts. We'll see about everything else. 3DS kind of overshadowed all these games.
@Joe22: This site was created by Europeans, has european users and the news story was posted by a European. Color is spelled colour in Europe.
The Super Scribblenauts trailer on the Nintendo Channel is awesome. 5THCELL never ceases to amaze me.
you better be able to trransfer DSi games to 3DS!! or ill, ill, b mad! wish I was at E3 to see one though. I woulda been like Can i take it home? Even if theres no playable games? What about for $150? Email me. it probabaly wouldnt of worked though.
I'm not abandoning my DS heck i still play Game Boy Color Games anyway my point is most likely i'll keep playing DS till 2015.
Offcourse that doesn't mean i'm not getting a 3DS instead i'm getting it at launch. (With my DSi and DSlite still being active (My DS Phat however did retired).
Is the 3DS backwards compatible??
The selection of DS games may be dwindling but there are definitely a few gems left to be released. Dragon Quest IX, Okamiden, Ghost Trick, Golden Sun, Pokemon Black & White and Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light should all be great.
Professor Layton, Okamiden and Golden Sun are insatnt buys for me. I still need to get the first Scribblenauts so not interest in getting the second.
@Objection
That's the rumor (and has been standard for pretty much all new nintendo portable releases), so it probably is. Nothing was said about it in the press conference (and why would they mention it, they didn't even have time to go thru all these great games). Hopefully, more details will be announced throughout the week.
'there's no sign of .... Pokémon Black and White'
This gives me hope that Pokémon Black and White are in fact for the 3DS and with the more 3D-esque graphics we've seen on the early screens that would seem to make sense.
Dragon Quest IX will be last game I buy for my DS...then it's time to upgrade - Yay!
Okamiden, Golden Sun, and Dragon Quest is enough to keep me occupied for a while. But Im interested to see how the other games turn out.
/me almost doesn't care about any current games or systems b/c of the 3DS
The only new DS games I'm interested in weren't on that list: the new Pang game and Intellivision Lives (sadly not released during my holiday in America).
@24 @21
It's not rumor, it's fact. Nintendo announced full backwards compatibility in their short press statement about the 3DS back in the first quarter.
Super Scribblenauts
Okamiden
Prof Layton 3
Pokemon Black and White
Sonic Colours (need a revw)
Those are pretty much all insta-buys except SC
Imagine, Super Smash Bros in 3D!! When you smack someone with a bat, they fly up in your face!! no more smacking into the screen! i want that idea.
Im happy that my DS Lite will get some more new stuff, All of it looks great!
Can't wait for DQ ans super scribblenauts!
i dont understand... they had to make a whole new system just to make a couple of classics like zelda ocarina of time / piolot wings / mario cart and others but i can see why for sims3 hope its out soon
I want the new kirby!!!
