Alongside
its DSi hardware unveiling, Nintendo announced seven new first-party titles for the DS due for Japan late 2008 and 2009, such as
Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! and
Made in Me (Wario Ware).
Following
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time,
Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! continues Nintendo's portable RPG series starring the company's plumber mascots. The game is scheduled to arrive in Japan sometime in 2009.
Other first-party DS titles planned for Japan in 2009 include
Made in Me, a second
WarioWare title for the DS;
Solid Body Picross, a 3D follow-up to puzzle title
Picross DS;
DS Fortune-Telling Life, a fortune telling application with tarot and palm reading; and
Friend Collection, a curious title allowing users to interact with Miis and Nintendo executives.
Nintendo's two newly-announced titles for 2008 in Japan are
World Food: Talk! DS Food Navi, a sequel to recipe software
Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat?, and
Know by Walking: Life Rhythm DS, a fitness title that utilizes a pedometer accessory, similar to Ubisoft's
My Weight Loss Coach, except possibly wireless, considering the DSi's absent GBA slot.
Nintendo also showed off
Self-Indulgent Fashion: Girls' Mode, a fashion game due later this month in Japan, though it was previously announced in local gaming magazine Famitsu.
