Mario Galaxy 2 gets European date News

How will Metroid follow on from mario when it's released before it?

EDIT: DAMN YOUR EDIT EG DAMN IT TO HELL!!!

I wish I had a Wii sometimes, but I just can't justify buying one for the few games i would like to play on it, I already did that once with the PlayStation - money be runnin' out!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released on 11th June in Europe, while Monster Hunter Tri will follow on 23rd April.

Monster Hunter Tri presumably has some form of time machine then if it can follow SMG2 by being released earlier?

"Monster Hunter Tri presumably has some form of time machine then if it can follow SMG2 by being released earlier?"

Yes, someone at EG need to look at a calandar :)

I want all 3 of those games.

Nice, but I'm more interested in knowing the european release date for Cave Story. After all, Wii games can be imported easily, but Wiiware games are slightly more difficult to.

Still only a couple of weeks later than the US release which is good for Nintendo (even though most developers manage a release in the same week!) Would like a date for Metroid: Other M too.

The joys of owning an ntsc us wii.

Finally some games I want. Crystal Chronicles, Metroid and Super Mario Galaxy 2 mean that I will be using my wii for the first time in about a year.

i think Europe got a bit screwed over with Metroid...thats why we're getting S&P2 a month earlier then US obviously...it doesn't soften the blow NOE...

2 weeks isn't bad, I suppose. I don't like that Q3 for Metroid though although it will have a fair bit of localisation to done on it.

The release date is just fine, at least we are getting the game this fast. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was revealed at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 and now super mario galaxy 2 wii will be released in North America on May 23, 2010.

MH Tri, Sin and Punishment 2, SMG2, Metroid OM, No More Heroes 2, Zelda Wii (apparently) ... this is shaping up as one hell of a big year for Wii gamers.

the wii is back baby

Well, that's one lost sale.

Negative feedback for liking games. Holy shit. Some of you wii haters are dye in the wool haters.

I think that's more likely Wii fans upset that you were dissing Punch Out and NSMBWii.

But I bought them last year?

There really is a shitload of great Wii games coming this year. I've always considered it hyperbole when people have said, "This has been the best year for games," over recent years but with the quality games coming to the 360 as well, I think it may very well be true this year. Damn you to hell 24 hour days!!

Galaxy is too important to get a few weeks after America! Damn them, they will have all the stars and be talking about it all over forums before I've played it at all. I like it when mega-important games on other consoles get the simultaneous release treatment.

Whoops, looks like I misread that. I thought you were saying "for wii gamers" as a qualifier as if it hasn't happened before.

But yeah, looks like this is gonna be a pretty great year.

Sin & Punishment 2! Please Continue!

talking to me rubarack? Yeah ok I could see how it might be misread. I wasnt saying it along the lines of a typical comment like the old "gee, those gfx look good ... for wii". Cant stand reading unnecessary qualifiers.

I think that most wii games look more than good enough personally (out of the ones Ive bought and enjoyed) and lack of hd doesnt bother me.

But that list of games for wii coming out this year - its one of the best lineups for a single console in a short period of time that I can remember.

I'll second that. I also can't stand comments like "Time to dust off my Wii" or "Finally, some good games for the platform". Every console has it's ups and downs during the lifespan. Not too long ago I didn't know what to do with a PS3, except for watching blu ray movies. Thankfully, it's brimming with great titles nowadays.

I can't remember the last time new Mario, Resident Evil, Mega Man, Zelda, Metroid, Street Fighter and Sonic games were released in the same year. It has never been a better time to be a retro gamer.

Nintendo have been very surprising the past year. Normally when we see just video footage at E3 we'll be waiting at least 18 months before they're on the shelves but here we have two great games hitting the shelves less than a year later!!
The same went last year with Zelda ST and Super Mario Bros Wii both released less than a year after they were first seen.
Lets hope this continues starting with Zelda Wii hitting the shelves at the end of the year!?

Bit of a pisser that we have to wait an undetermined amount of time for Other M though. But I agree this is looking to be an absolutely golden year for gaming no matter what console(s) you own. There's already been three fantastic games released this year and it's not even March!

I'm going to get right on JeroenZM's tits now and say 'time to dust off my wii', which I have been massively neglecting. (Managed to solve that problem- keeping it in a different room to the 360 now) Need to catch up with all the stuff I've missed too. Oh, my aching wallet.

Release dates seem fine to me, hardly want Mario and Metroid within a month, as otherwise I wouldn't play anything else! Therefore I'm not too bothered if Metroid Other M arrives in Q3, btw Q3 could mean calender rather than financial year, in which case its July - September, so for all we know it could be out in early July.

Especially now that May is the new March with Sin & Punishment along with Alan Wake, Alpha Protocol, Lost Planet 2 and Split Second among others out, can't buy all the ones I want so will need time to catch up.

Godd listings however I'm conserned that with Mario, Metriod and possibly Zelda out in the same year, thats it for the first party games for the next year, seems to me Nintendo are more about using theirbig names to boost dipping sales then actally giving players a steady stream of games, wheres Starfox, DK, and Kirby these days?

I honestly thing thats Nindendo's busness plan this days, starve the players of games to generate massive sales on release

Epic Mickey could go either way, but its interesting nonetheless, also The Last Story from Mistwalker and the rather lush looking Nintendo financed Xenoblade from the Baiten Kaitos team on the horizon as well. All before the E3 show!

Reckon after a quiet spell the Wii is coming into its own as a rather handy second machine to complement the HD consoles.

@Oto - really??? and Pikmin!!! I loved those games - perhaps Nintendo ARE picking up their game then (slight pun sorry), it's taken them long enough tho, again I'm hoping it's more the Golden SNES/64 age again then what we had on the gamecube and this isn't a one off - I love Nintendo but it's hard not to get bored waiting for their great releases

Thanks Nintendo. I thought we were heading for a quiet period after march, but now my schdules all busy again =) Good stuff.

That's what i like about nintendo.. lots of hard core games - and not a generic fps in sight.

Can't wait for Mario galaxy 2.

Can't wait for Mario galaxy 2. It looks amazing.

People make me laugh with the nintendo sequels whinging - who cares when they are fantastic games?! It's like MW2 / COD 7 / gta 4 etc etc doesn't exist!

Looks amazing, this seems to be the year of top notch sequels (Mario, Mass Effect 2, Metroid, Reach, GOW3 to name a few).

I loved SMG but I just wish they’d give us the option to somehow use the classic controller so I could avoid having to waggle.

"That's what i like about nintendo.. lots of hard core games (with a bit of pointless waggle to keep the casuals happy) - and not a generic fps in sight."

There I’ve fixed that for you.

Too bad they're making the most anticipated game even more anticipated, hope the Q3 won't mean december. Or REMEMBER ME will reflect on the game itself.

Oh well, enough other great games until then. 2010 Is good times.

Edit wait what, only just noticed this was momentarily bumped from feb, huh?
