DS Fanboy Lite: July 19 - July 25 originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Like everyone else, this week we were focused on E3. Unfortunately, E3 wasn't very focused on us. Several new games were announced for the handheld, however, including the latest from the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and we were afforded closer looks at the line-up of excellent titles headed our way. There was so much going on, in fact, that we can't possibly do a proper recap of it all ... so here are ten stories that represent a cross-section of this week's coverage.

• You can take it with you: Nintendo handheld retrospective
  Because they're portable, you know.
• Rhythm Heaven is the best musical microgame collection at the show
  It was a wide field.
• Link makes an epically cute craft
  If you don't find this cute, you clearly have no soul.
• E308: Final Fantasy IV speaks our language -- probably yours, also
  Unless your language is Tagalog or perhaps Finnish.
• Roogoo jumps from XBLA to the DS
  It's the week for it.
• E308: Rhythm Heaven bumped by Cammie Dunaway's wrist
  Someone get that woman a bracelet!
• E308: Konami booth tour in photos
  Without the Judgment, everything looks great!
• Bury The Shovelware: Pokemon Dash
  No one's immune to it.
• Gaming to Go: Animal Crossing: Wild World
  Prepare for the new game with the old game!
• Three DS news items you might have missed
  There was a lot of stuff going on, after all.
