Nintendo confirms DS menu for Western release

Since the first tentative titles for DS began to trickle through after E3, there has been a fair amount of speculation as to whether some of these would ever see the light of day outside Japan. Whilst some of the more text-reliant RPG titles may never make that journey, Nintendo’s latest confirmation of the games planned by Western developers is looking healthy enough. There are some notable gaps for the moment, but it’s highly probable that the menu will continue to flesh out right up until the DS’s actual launch.
