With Tokyo Game Show 2008 ending, it brought a couple of things that made me go absolutely “SQUEE” about some of the upcoming DS games.

I admit that I’m a nerd. I admit that I’m a gamer. It’s seen as a “bizarre” concept amongst my fellow Koreans, especially the older generations who sees this more for children who do poorly in schools, but do I care? No! Considering my decent GPA in high school and college, I deserve some fun! I like my games! I like my toys. Only problem is that gaming is one expensive hobby that hurts my wallet and bank account the most! Regardless of that, I am eagerly awaiting on a few games that are to come out for the DS — well couple that have yet to have a release date for the English speaking realm, but a girl can dream, right?

My Japanese Coach

Release Date: October 14, 2008 (according to Amazon.com)
Fangirling: I want this really badly. This will definitely motivate me to learn Japanese. I just wonder how good it really will be, though. And if it will ever come out. It was supposed to come out last month, but it ended up being delayed.

Chrono Trigger DS

Release Date: November 25, 2008 (according to Amazon.com)
Fangirling: The game, the game, the game that started it all for me! Just watching the trailer brings tears to my eyes. I do hope the DS remake is much better than the craptacular PlayStation One version, yech! But oh, I shall have a fun reunion with this.

Suikoden Tierkreis

Release Date: December 18, 2008 (Japan), February 2009 (North America)
Fangirling: Finally Konami gets off its lazy arse and gives a Suikoden game after how many years? If the game’s any good as the trailer indicates, they will be forgiven. The game really does look mad sexy and lives up to its predecessors. As a Suikoden fangirl, I really can’t wait for this game.

Gyakuten Kenji

Release Date: Spring 2009 (Japan)
Fangirling: Miles Edgeworth (Mitsurugi Reiji)! Dick Gumshoe (Itonokogiri Keisuke)! The anticipation for this game must be really high in Japan as well if they have their own fantastically awesome booth!
