News of a European release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl has dominated coverage of Nintendo's latest European release schedule, but there are a number of tasty morsels on the list for DS owners.For a start, the continent will finally be getting Atlus roguelike Etrian Odyssey, and it's about time -- lest we forget, the title made its U.S. debut last May! Notably, there are also dates (of varying specificity) for Race Driver: GRID (May), the new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games (July 4th), New International Track & Field (Q2 2008), and Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? (June), the European version of Cooking Navi. "ArchimDS" appears on the list as well, though we presume this refers to LOL, or Bakushow as it'll be known in Euroland.
Add all of those to this morning's Final Fantasy IV announcement, and Europe has quite the line-up of games to look forward to. Check past the break for the full list!

I'm glad that Europe is getting Etrian Odyssey, even if it's obscenely late. That game is wonderful and should be played by as many people as possible. It's a great dungeon crawler, but it's not a roguelike.

Poor, poor Europe. Etrian Odyssey is my favorite DS game, so far. It came out a month before I got my DS, so I didn't find out about it until two months ago. Luckily, I was able to find a copy at one of the less popular, local shops, and I haven't been able to put it down since.
I'd like to beat it before the sequel is out, but that's looking unlikely. Hopefully, those in the U.S. still looking for a copy will now be able to import the Euro version. I love that Nintendo's current generation is region-free.
