[ (New Super Mario Bros) divided by (Super Mario Bros) ] multiplied by [(Minish Cap) plus (Wind Waker)] equals (Phantom Hourglass).
2d/3d mix of Legend of Zelda Cell shaded and gameplay wise, with a minish cap look/feel to dungeons. This is madness, and it's coming out for the Nintendo DS later this year. Remember how Eiji Aonuma said it would be beautiful? He wasn't kidding. Metroid Prime Hunters looked and felt like a downgraded Metroid Prime game, but a true Metroid Prime game none the less. This truly, truly looks like Wind Waker, these graphics are just incredible, totally destroying the Viewtiful Joe cell shading that's been some of the best graphics on the DS so far. Check it out...

"Designed in the style of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass features similar cel-shaded stylings for its 3D engine, with traditional top-down gameplay (using a hovering and semi-mobile camera in a locked perspective) and a map along the bottom screen."

It also fully utilizes the touch screen, and I think it does some four swords function as well, possibly online, I don't remember. Still looks great.
