Find out what games you'll be playing April through June...
Nintendo of Europe has revealed its official list of release dates for Wii, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance titles from now until the end of June.
We've already had several e-mails expressing disappointment at the lack of several key titles expected to be on there (Super Paper Mario, released in America this week, and Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, two DS-selling juggernauts). And of course, there is an unsurprising lack of anything distinctly Metroid-y, Smash Bros.-y or Mario Galaxy-y. Over-all, the upcoming first-party release situation on the Wii looks very sparse indeed.
To be fair, the DS Lite's line-up is considerably stronger, with Pokémon Ranger, Hotel Dusk, Harvest Moon, Diddy Kong Racing and new Wario platformer Master of Disguise all scheduled for the next few months. Interestingly, it also seems Metroid Prime: Pinball has finally been dated... for release over a year after it was released in America!
The list therefore, goes something like this:
