Metroid Prime 3 in October
Mentions Advance Wars DS 2.
Updated on
Nintendo Europe has rolled out its Q4 release schedule, bringing us firm dates for the likes of Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil: The Umbrealla Chronicles and Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure.
DS titles in the spotlight include Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Donkey Kong Jungle Climber.
The Wii line-up begins with the already confirmed 14th September Super Paper Mario date, before jumping to Harvest Moon: Magical Melody on 19th October, Metroid Prime 3 on the 26th, and Super Mario Galaxy a little earlier than expected on 16th November.
Following those are Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on 30th November, Pokémon Battle Revolution and Zack & Wiki on 7th December, and Wii Chess later in the winter.
Battalion Wars 2, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are all listed as 2008.
DS picks start with Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland on 14th September, then move onto newcomers Naruto Ninja Council on 5th October and Donkey Kong Jungle Climber on the 12th - currently enjoying success in the Japanese charts.
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass will emerge on 19th October, followed by other big hitters Practice English! On the 26th, then Flash Focus and Mario Party DS on 23rd November.
DS Novel is pipped as winter, and sadly Advanced Wars 2 is lingering in 2008.
