See anything you like in that Nintendo release list from yesterday? YeeeaaahhhâŠno. Of particular disappointment was Nintendoâs first-party lineup, but then like all dark clouds, even that has a silver lining.

Where? Youâve got to dig a little. Head down past the Wii and to Nintendoâs first-party DS release list. There youâll see a game called The Legendary Starfy, due on June 8. Never heard of it? Thatâs because the Starfy series, which has been running in Japan for around six to seven years now, has never made an appearance in the West.
Obviously, it is now. And while in Japan itâs pitched at kids, take a look at this clip from Densetsu no Starfy Taiketsu! Daiiru Kaizokudan (or Legendary Starfy Confrontation! Dire Pirate Squad), the last DS game in the series (it began on the Game Boy Advance) out in Japan and presumably the title due for release in the West.
Put aside your cynicism for both Nintendo and kidâs stuff for a minute and just watch the trailerâŠit looks kinda great, doesnât it?
Doesnât it? After all, this is just the kind of thing people normally squeal âwhy canât we get this in America?â, etc etc.
