Nintendo of Japan's July release schedule has some pretty high-profile DS games on it that are total surprises to us. First, on July 10th, Nintendo plans to release a new game in Tose's Densetsu no Stafy platforming series, called Densetsu no Stafy: Taiketsu! Daiiru Kaizoku-dan (Legend of Stafy: Confrontation! Daiiru Pirate Squad).On July 31st, there is a listing for Rhythm Tengoku Gold, which is a sequel to the WarioWare team's amazing GBA rhythm minigame collection, Rhythm Tengoku. According to the announcement posted on the Rhythm Tengoku site, the new game uses the stylus (of course) and features many new rhythm games.
Finally, though it doesn't appear on Nintendo's schedule (the August calendar isn't up yet), their page for the Fire Emblem remake now shows a date: August 7. There goes any fear that Nintendo didn't have anything planned for the second half of the year!

I envy Japan, they will get the Legend of Stafy & we won't. :)
I wish TOSE would localize Stafy.

Alright, finally a date for Fire Emblem.
Here's to hoping we'll see some more infos & screens soon - and that they're gonna change something about the graphic style :/

Unless "Flint" is some sort of distorted Japanese name, you will have to wait
My guess would be holiday season 08 if we're lucky, Q1 '09 if we're not.
Although it's a port, so they may have more resources allocated for localization.

Rhythm Tengoku needs an American release. The first one was amazing.

'Tis not a port if it uses the stylus and features new games. MAYYBEEEEE you can get away with calling it a remake, but certainly not a port. Ser's'ly, it's a sequel.

The only thing better than a new Rhythm Tengoku game is a Tetris Attack sequel. And thats saying alot.
