Here's the release list for the DS in america. Nice to see that most of these will be launch games in the UK

February 14: WarioWare Touched! (Nintendo)***
March 14: Pokemon Dash (Nintendo)
March: Yoshi Touch & Go (Nintendo)*****
March: Retro Atari Classics (Atari)
Q1: Need for Speed Underground 2 (Electronic Arts)
May: Ultimate Card Games (Telegames)
June: Ultimate Brain Games (Telegames)
Q2: World Championship Poker (Crave Entertainment)
Date TBD: Metroid Prime Hunters (Nintendo)***
Date TBD: Polarium (Nintendo)****
Date TBD: Mario Kart (Nintendo)****
Date TBD: Animal Crossing (Nintendo)****
Date TBD: Advance Wars (Nintendo)*****

I've starred the one's I'm going to import and the more stars = the more I'm anticipating the game. Looks like a good lineup although nothing really stands out as AMAZING must have!, but then nothing ever does on handhelds.

I would have given it 5 but it will just be a port, I doubt there'll be anything new in there.

Mario Kart on the GBA was by far the best handheld game EVER, so to only give this 4 is blasphemy.

I only want the DS for Mario 64 and Mario Kart really.
That's it.

I'm not the biggest handheld fan in the world.

My anticipation is exactly the same as yours :) No news of Snowboard Kids or Viewtiful Joe?

The great thing is, he doesn't know anything about any of those games.

Also, according to Dringo, the DS will be released in February in Australia for under £100. Not that this really makes much difference, however, as it's region free and Australia is actually further away than America and Japan, but still, gives some indication of the UK release.

Those are what I'm waiting for. No mention of Super Mario Bros DS?

Right, well I'll be importing WarioWare very soon then.

And also Yoshi Touch & Go further down the line.
