Lucky gamers in the US can get their hands on two new DS games from Namco.

Announced for the Nintendo DS, we have Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits and Ridge Racer DS. Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits looks to be more of the same, not straying far from the successful formula of the past games. Ridge Racer DS attempts to offer analogue control to the handheld, with use of an on-screen steering wheel, controlled via the touch screen. It also includes multiplayer modes for up to six players and a variety of single-player modes. Both Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits and Ridge Racer DS are available now for the Nintendo DS in the US, with European release dates still to be announced.

We will have more on the two games when they are released in Europe.
