News: Nintendo Reveals Q1 US Dates

Nintendo of America dates Pokémon Platinum and more in its roster for the first quarter of 2009!

Just days after Nintendo revealed its European dates for Q1 2009, NoA follows suit. Notably the listings include DS Pokémon threequel Pokémon Platinum which expands on Diamond/Pearl. Just as in Europe, GameCube Wiimakes also feature, along with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for DS and Square-Enix's upcoming Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time for both Nintendo platforms.

Puppy-loving Nintendo exec Cammie Dunaway stated the list contained a "a diverse selection of entertainment options, and we're eager to deliver exactly that." In other words, "stop saying we don't cater to the core gamers." But we're not disagreeing. There's a fine selection of software below. Nintendo have for some reason organised it by publisher rather than release date, although that does allow you to easily skip the majority of Ubisoft's pitiful array of shovelware.

Behold the list!
