Nintendos E3 conference was packed with games – heres a few for the Nintendo DS that we only heard about today. Get ready for Style Savvy, Fossil Fighters and Glory of Heracles.

Style Savvy puts you in control of a fashion boutique. As the owner you have to choose and buy inventory, look after your budget and try to please all of your customers. Think classic Lemonade Stand, but in the fashion world. The game has some cool features – seasonal fashions that change depending on your DS’ internal calendar, a bit like Animal Crossing, over 10,000 items from 16 in-game fashion labels, and customisable avatars. Oh but for Girls, obviously.

 

Online content isn’t left out either – get together with three other friends and host a fashion show over local wireless, or connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi and visit each others stores and buy anything that takes your fancy.

 

Glory of Heracles is a ’pick up and play’ RPG. The game takes place in Ancient Greece, with players taking control of the Greek hero Heracles, visiting cities like Sparta and Athens. Unfortunately Heracles has lost his memory. It’s up to you to travel around, do some battles, talk to some people and generally adventure to recover his memory. The game features some lovely visuals, animated cut scenes, a weapon crafting system, and touch-screen spell casting. Expect a pretty big game world.

Fossil Fighters lets you find and clean ’vivosaur’ fossils, before bringing them back to life to FIGHT each other! Intense stuff, we know. Vivosaurs seem to be a lot like dinosaurs, by the way. There are over 100 of these vivosaurs to be found. You have to collect the head to use them in battle, while adding the body, arms and legs adds to their power. The game has a typical role-playing storyline, and features wireless battles and trading.

Fossil Fighters is the first uncovered, on August 10th, while Style Savvy hits catwalks (or game stores, more likely) near the end of 2009, and Glory of Heracles forgets who it is sometime in 2010. These are US dates, keep in mind – you guessed it, Vooks will let you know when they’re hitting Australia.
