Following the last roundup of Nintendo’s first and third party lineup earlier this year, the company has sent out a list of its Wii/DS retail and downloadable games coming through the rest of 2009 and well into next year: here’s the Offworld view of where you should be focused.

Wii:

In addition to long-followed favorites like A Boy and His Blob and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo’s console will see its own ports of big-buddget upcoming Activision releases, and its own sequel version of Drawn to Life: the original “draw your own platformer” from Scribblenauts developer 5th Cell.

Activision – DJ Hero – Oct. 27
Activision – Tony Hawk: RIDE – Nov. 17
Electronic Arts – Spore Hero – Oct. 6
LucasArts – LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues – Fall
Majesco – A Boy and His Blob – Oct. 13
Nintendo – Wii Fit Plus – Oct. 4
Nintendo – New Super Mario Bros. Wii – Holiday
THQ – Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter – Oct. 27
Warner Bros. – LEGO Rock Band – Holiday

WiiWare:

The downloadable front should look fairly familiar to long-time readers: only a WiiWare version of Castlevania, Archon: Classic (a port of the iPhone version), and the entirely unknown Eco Shooter are surprise additions — that is, if you don’t count the announcement that three more games in the Bit.Trip series are due before Spring of 2010.

Aksys – BIT.TRIP VOID – Q3
Aksys – BIT.TRIP series (3 additional titles) – Q4, Q1
Broken Rules – And Yet It Moves – Q4
Frontier – LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias – Q4
Konami – Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth – Q3
Nicalis – Cave Story – Q3
Nicalis – Night Game – Q1
Nicalis – La Mulana – Q1
Nintendo – You, Me, and the Cubes – Q3
Nintendo – Eco Shooter: Plant 530 – Q4
Nintendo – Pokémon Rumble – Q4
Press Play – Max & the Magic Marker – Q4
React Games – Archon: Classic – Q1
Team Meat – Super Meat Boy – Q1

Nintendo DSi:

Few surprises here either, but good news for Space Invaders Extreme fans, and those long-awaiting Platinum Games’ space opera epic Infinite Space (formerly Infinite Line).

Electronic Arts – Spore Hero Arena – Oct. 6
Konami – WireWay – November
LucasArts – LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues – Fall
Nintendo – The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks – Dec. 7
PopCap – Bookworm – Dec. 1
SEGA – Infinite Space – Spring
Square Enix – Space Invaders Extreme 2 – Oct. 20
THQ – Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter – Oct. 27
Warner Bros. – Scribblenauts – Sept. 15
Warner Bros. – LEGO Rock Band – Holiday

Nintendo DSiWare:

It’s DSiWare that gets the most surprises with a port of GBA art games series ‘bit Generations’ DigiDrive (above) — one of the best overall puzzle games of the series, from PixelJunk creators Q-games. Also, Nintendo’s confirmed that it’ll be bringing the entirety of Toshio Iwai’s Electroplankton to the West as individual downloads (as it just did in Japan), Subatomic brings its iPhone (and PSP) tower defense game Fieldrunners to the handheld, and Boy and his Blob re-makers WayForward announce a new game in the Shantae series, the cult hit platformer that debuted on Game Boy Color and promptly fell off the map entirely.

Nintendo – Art Style: DIGIDRIVE – Q4
Nintendo – Electroplankton (10 titles total) – Q4
Subatomic – Fieldrunners – Q4
WayForward – Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Q4

For all those waiting for James Kochalka’s Game Boy Advance/Nanoloop album Digital Elf to go digital download before you bought (and I know there’s at least one of you), James has just written in with word that the album has freshly arrived on iTunes for your preview and purchase.

Offworld’s also got a full streaming cut of the album’s Robot Shark waiting for you back over here.
