News: Nintendo Of America Q2 Release List

Nintendo of America have announced their Q2 releases alongside a few surprises, including a May launch for Punch-Out!! on Wii.

Hear that sound? That's your wallet. It's crying, in the wake of Nintendo of America's Q2 release list, featuring several new games, and release dates for some of Nintendo's big hitters.

Notably, Next Level Games' 3D re-imagining of Nintendo's classic boxing series, Punch-Out!! for the Wii, has been penned down for a May 22nd release. The Play On Wii remake of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is due out on May 4th, with brand new title Excitebots: Trick Racing preparing for a surprise release on April 20th.

The Legend of Starfy, a charming DS platforming series from Nintendo which has to this day never seen the light of day outside of Japan, is also heading westwards for the first time on June 8th.

And whilst no dates have been announced yet (as is custom for Nintendo with their online services), Gaijin Games' BIT.TRIP BEAT, Semnat Studios' Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, Nicalis' Night Game and Ronimo Games' Swords & Soldiers have all been confirmed for a US WiiWare release.

Here's the full list of Wii, DS and WiiWare games - titles that we think may be of particular interest to you are highlighted with italics. We're nice like that.
