News: Launch lineup! Git yet launch lineup right here!

With the launch of the DS less than six weeks away Nintendo has finally unveiled the launch lineup. The following titles will all be available in the "launch window" of November 21, so presumably all of them will be available within the month:

Asphalt Urban GT (Ubisoft)
Feel the Magic: XY/XX (Sega)
Madden NFL 2005 (EA)
Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits (Namco)
Ping Pals (THQ)
Rayman DS (Ubisoft)
Ridge Racer DS (Namco)
Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo)
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Golf (EA)
The Urbz: Sims in the City (EA)

A major title from Activision (which from their previous announcement we know to be Spider-Man 2)

All DS titles from Nintendo will retail for $29.99 and it's probably safe to assume other companies will follow their lead. By the first quarter of 2005, Nintendo will see the DS library grow to 20 to 25 games.

A whole slew of titles are also being readied for the coming months:

Advance Wars DS (previously unannounced)
Animal Crossing DS
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime Hunters
Super Mario Bros. DS
WarioWare, Inc. DS
Yoshi's Touch & Go

And from third-party publishers:

Bomberman
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Frogger
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Need for Speed Underground
Viewtiful Joe

We'll definitely have more on the DS as it's revealed.
