It isn’t uncommon for one or two big titles to be released on the same day or within a few days of each other, (Example: Grand Theft Auto IV and Mario Kart Wii.) but more often than not, publishers will avoid this and scatter dates so their games will get the attention they deserve. Apparently the Japanese DS game publishers wanted to cause a free-for-all June 26, 2008, because five highly anticipated games are being released at once. Six, if you’re excited about Simple DS Series Vol. 39 The Shouboutai (Fire Fighters).

So let’s go over Bleach: The 3rd Phantom, Bokura no Telebi Game Kentei, Daigasso! Band Brothers DX, Jigsaw World and Disgaea DS, the five major titles being released in Japan…

Jeux-France has come bearing plenty of new information on some of the five new DS titles NIS is currently developing for the system. Among them is Disgaea: Prince of the Demon World and Red Moon, which was mentioned in a Gamertell post earlier today (March 6, 2008). The first three confirmed titles in development include the Disgaea DS port, Jigsaw World and Rhapsody: In Musical Adventure. Despite the Babelfish translation and DS Fanboy report of the last title being Rhapsody: In Musical Adventure, I’m going to guess that it was meant to be translated as Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, the title of an early NIS PS1 title.
