Could Europe be getting Nintendo's epic Wii swansong sooner rather than later?

Despite official lines emanating from E3 telling us to expect The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword at the end of the year, a curious anomaly has cropped up. A poster on NeoGAF has observed that Nintendo of Europe's official press website has the game currently listed for an August 2011 release.

While the press site is usually (almost always) notorious for being full of placeholder information for games, the release schedule page is otherwise fairly up-to-date, with correct release dates for recent and upcoming titles such as Dead or Alive: Dimensions (May 20th) and Solatorobo (July 1st).

However, it also seems to state a block of other big games heading for a release in the same period, with Kid Icarus: Uprising pegged for summer and Super Mario 3DS and Fortune Street also labelled as August titles. It's hard to believe all these games are launching so close, so don't expect this one to stick.

We'll bring you more on Nintendo's big 2011 titles as it breaks.
