Nintendo sent out a press release detailing the 2008 release schedule, and along with all the yay-awesome stuff we knew about, there's a ton of new stuff! We were just casually looking down the list, expecting familiar titles and release dates, and we almost spit out our Diet Cherry Coke when we saw previously-unknown release dates, and even a few new titles! For the safety of your computer, DS Fanboy recommends that you put down your Diet Cherry Coke before proceeding.For the first time, the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon sequels have been announced for U.S. release. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness are tentatively slated for a "Q2" release. More personally exciting is the revelation that Bangai-O Spirits was picked up by D3 of America, also Q2. And by "personally exciting" we mean "OH YES AWESOME. AWESOME."
Other surprises include Ubisoft's Quick Yoga Training (April), Nintendo's Crosswords DS (May 5th!), Rondo of Swords (which we Eric surmised is Success Corp.'s Ituwari no Rondo) and complete unknowns like Organize It (May 8th).
We've reproduced the whole list for you after the break, so you can freak out. We think we're over the initial shoOH DUDE SUPER DODGEBALL IN APRIL. If you can handle the intensity, check out the Wii schedule as well!

Ninja Gaiden & Civilization because I enjoy video games, and Aquarium DS because I'm all out of Ambien.

Bangai-O Spirits. This is just too great. I will need a moment.
...
Also, I don't believe that N+ is coming out in January: there is too little left of January and if I don't want to be disappointed again by the pushing away of that release date.
And, is that "Organize It" a game or a final realization that fitting PIM software to the DS is a great idea?

Me wanty the following:
Feb. 10 (street date): Professor Layton and the Curious Village™ from Nintendo/LEVEL-5
Feb. 12: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney from Capcom
April: Super Dodgeball Brawlers from Aksys Games
May 5: Crosswords DS from Nintendo
Q2: Pokemon® Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time from Nintendo
Q2: Pokemon® Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness from Nintendo
- Those cruel bastards give me Prof. Layton AND Apollo Justice in the same week? My wallet weeps.
- (insert dodge ball joke here)
- I like the NYT Crosswords so I can't wait to see what NOA does with the concept
- The Mystery Dungeon games will be worth a rental, at least. Especially if they throw in a bonus Pokemon like they did with Ranger.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a dodgeball. No really watch out for wrenches.

That all looks very good but I am very intrigued by Plushees and I am really excited by the Prize Fighter re-make.
