Holy crap did you say? So did I when I read the headline. It’s true though, Midway put out a press release telling us that 5 new titles were in the works for the Wii and DS. If it’s Midway with 5 new titles, you have to expect a Mortal Kombat somewhere in there. Look at screens and the full list of titles after the jump.

Who knew two years ago that the sales of the Nintendo DS would skyrocket this much? With numbers that the DS has, the install base is huge now. Publishers have been watching and noticing this impressive run, and as you can tell by this press release they’re acting upon it.

CHICAGO, IL – June 27, 2007 – Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, today announced that five new titles are in development exclusively for Nintendo systems.
