Catch-up Sunday - European Nintendo DS release schedule

Aside from the Wii release list, posted earlier today, Nintendo of Europe also filled us in on the Nintendo DS release schedule for the second quarter of 2010. Surprising to see Jam with the Band in this list...

Summer is set to sizzle with some epic game launches in the latest line up of action packed games from Nintendo for Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi and Wii.

You'll find no end of fun on Nintendo DS with mysterious puzzler, Rooms: The Main Building, portable music maker Jam with the Band and with WarioWare: Do It Yourself, where you can create your own microgames.

Nintendo has announced an incredibly creative line up for the Nintendo DS, kicking off with the puzzle-filled Rooms: The Main Building. Set in a dark and mysterious house called 'Rooms Mansion', the game plunges players into a virtual world based around 90 challenging sliding puzzles, each with a brain busting twist. In each room or level, players must think carefully and strategically to safely navigate their character to the room's exit by sliding sections of the room, the same way as a slide puzzle. The main character can walk from tile to tile, but remember that only the tile that the character is standing in can be moved. Puzzlers will be forced to use all of their ingenuity to escape each level and to finally unveil the mystery contained in Rooms: The Main Building, when this launches in Europe on June 4th!

If you are a music lover, then the unique new game Jam with the Band will help transform your Nintendo DS family of handheld consoles into a fun, portable music maker allowing you to get creative with your friends. Program a selection of famous songs and share with other players, or jam with up to seven other Nintendo DS owners to a collection of popular songs from a song library which boasts such classics as 'ABC' to more contemporary chart toppers such as 'I'm a Slave 4 U'. If you are after a unique and addictive gameplay experience this Spring then be sure to turn up the volume and Jam with the Band as it launches exclusively on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi across Europe on 21st May 2010.

WarioWare: Do It Yourself for Nintendo DS, DSi and DSi XL features over 100 fantastic microgames to play and, best of all, the ability to create and share your own home-made microgames, comics or even music. WarioWare: Do It Yourself Showcase on WiiWare is a separate product containing more than 70 new microgames which allows players with WarioWare: Do It Yourself to transfer microgames from their Nintendo DS console onto the Wii and play them on the TV.

  Still amazed Jam with the Band is coming to Europe. It was released in 2004 in Japan after all. Amazing to see it come out. Definitely worth a look that one. Also interested in WarioWare: Do It Yourself, for the ability to create your own games, and Earthworm Jim, presuming that it's the remake of the Megadrive game.

  Earthworm Jim is a remake and a DSiWare release as far as I know.

  Developers keep giving me reasons to want a DSi. Should have just gotten one when I had to replace my DS lite a few weeks ago. Annoying because Shantae is coming and this being a remake make me really want one. Earthwork Jim was a fantastic game.
