The Nintendo DS will be six this year, but the system is chugging along and should continue its reign as the most successful gaming platform ever. The problem: you don't get much heads-up on forthcoming games due to the much smaller budgets and shorter development cycles. Games will many times be announced within the same six months that they're released, so a list of hotly anticipated Nintendo DS products for this year will be paltry in comparison to the big boys. Still, there's a batch of portable titles that are on their way IGN is really looking forward to, and here's the breakdown of what to expect.

New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.

The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.
DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
