Click on ds.advancedmn.com and you will discover that Squenix has announced three(!) new games for DS for the Tokyo Game Show. Here's a quick summary of each:
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings will be a sequel of sorts to the upcoming PS2 game (don't be surprised if a Wii port of FFXII follows, at this rate). It will follow the story of Vaan and Penelo from the first game, however the roles of the other characters are unknown. It is also unknown whether the game itself will be a strategy title like FF Tactics or more like the original game itself, but check it out on TGS soon!
It's a Wonderful World is the latest project from the Kingdom Hearts team, and even features art from Nomura himself. Yet the game is much different from their other projects, as you will use the touch screen heavily to control multiple characters, and the setting is more modern (ie Earthbound) taking place in a huge city.
Update: screens revealed!

Heroes of Mana, obviously a Mana title, is actually going to incorporate RTS and RPG elements together. Though again, there's little known about this, I don't want to have to retype the names of the people involved, but they have very good pedigree.

Ryoma Ito of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance will serve as the game's character designer along with Akira Oguro of Final Fantasy X. Additionally, Heroes of Mana is being produced by Koichi Ishii who previously worked on Legend of Mana with the game's storyline handled by Masato Kato of Chrono Trigger.
Screens and details soon as they are available! smile
