Nintendo had already announced that a total of over 120 games were in development for its upocoming DS handheld. The company released a list this week confirming that at least 64 of those games will come from Japanese developers.
The list confirms what was already certain, that Nintendo will not leave anything to chance. While strong support was expected from the Japanese market, the surprise from this list is that Western developers may be creating more titles for the innovative, twin screened console than initially expected.
