With the exception of Super Paper Mario, and Mario Party 8, I honestly think that the lineup is a bit “dry”, and the author of the joystiq article also concurs with that thought.

On the other hand, the Nintendo DS, as one of the world’s best selling consoles, is getting a lot of nice titles like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, a new Naruto and Dragonball Z games and even an original PSP refugee: Death Jr, on it’s lineup.
