SNK Playmore prepares new DS games

SNK Playmore is really hoping to be busy this coming 2007. Not only will they be releasing their numerous arcade fighters and an XBLA version of Fatal Fury 2 Special, they’ve also got a a bunch of games lined up for the Nintendo DS.

If you remember a few days back, we actually mentioned some of them, though we couldn’t really translate them very well. They were titles with names like Throbbing Witch Judgement.  No wonder translation sites are always in a state of beta-testing.

Throbbing Witch Judgement should actually be known as Doki Doki Majo Saiban, where your task is to find a sorceress who is hiding on earth disguised as a human. IGN also mentions that “you use the stylus to touch girls to determine who’s a sorceress” in Sorceress Judgment mode. We’re not sure what this mechanic will actually do, but you can be sure it’s going to appeal to one sort of gamer or another.

Another game coming up for the DS is Denshi Maid Techou: Koi no Iroha, which we previously called Your Hero, Iroha of Electronic Made Log Love. In it, you are supposed to raise and train Iroha, from Samurai Spirits, into becoming a good maid. The game also doubles as a planner of sorts, so despite the strange premise, it may actually have some practical use.

Lastly, we have Kimi no Yuusha, which is promised to be the RPG for casual types of gamers. According to IGN’s report, you’ll be able to play some fun adventures in 30 minutes, and it will make use of both screens for fighting.

Keep checking QJ for more information. When we hear about any of these making an American or European release, you can be sure we’ll let you know!
