Nintendo of Europe has taken the wraps off its 2006 spring lineup of titles. Of particular interest is the appearance of New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, though it does not yet have an official title or a date — but it seems Nintendo wants to get it out the door in Q2.
Nintendo also seems to be picking up the pace on publishing several exclusive titles that have garnered positive reception in other territories. For example, the Nintendo DS title Trauma Center: Under the Knife will be published by Nintendo in Europe, having been published (and become somewhat rare, according to reports) by Atlus in the States.
We've only reproduced the Nintendo-published portion of the list here; for the full scoop, including third-party titles and a rehash of the already-announced Q1 release schedule, you'll want to check Nintendo's release list yourself.
