Lupin the 3rd: Greatest Battle of Wits (approximate translation) screenshot. It takes a lot to get me to pay attention to a licensed anime game that won’t ever come out here, but this one screenshot did the trick.

I can’t think of many side-scrolling stealth games — and I don’t really dig on stealth games anyway unless they’re called Metal Gear — but the art and the easily understandable stealth mechanics on display here make this one look like a winner.

Apparently it also contains other missions, targeted at testing your intelligence. Dengeki says there will be some kind of demo tomorrow — hopefully it’s a web demo and not a downloadable DS one.
