Nintendo of Europe has announced it will publish Atlus's Trauma Center: Under the Knife for Nintendo DS.

The well-reviewed (82% at GameRankings based on 32 reviews) and unique surgery-simulation game has you playing doctor as a mysterious outbreak sweeps the emergency room, taking your direction from a nurse in apparent need of a higher-fiber diet. Players use the stylus to make incisions, apply various surgical gels, and all kinds of other doctor-related sorts of things.

Nintendo intends to bring the title, which according to Atlus is in the top three US Nintendo DS titles, to European gamers in March 2006.
