Officials from Nintendo of Europe have revealed the company’s full first party publishing line-up for the rest of the year, minus any titles that will be released for the forthcoming Wii console.
As would be expected, the majority of titles are for the Nintendo DS, with the already-passed releases of
Big Brain Academy and
Electroplankton on July 7th the last major summer releases for the company until
42 All-Time Classics (aka
Clubhouse Games) on September 29th.
This is followed by the
Nintendo DS Browser on October 6th and the
English Training: Have Fun Improving Your Skills on October 13th. The relevance of this title to the British market is unclear, since in Japan, it is aimed at teaching English as a foreign language, but it has been listed by Nintendo UK, and may be of more interest to the rest of Europe if using the same concept.
Other releases include
Sudoku Master (aka
Sudoku Gridmaster) on October 27th,
Actionloop (aka
Magnetica) on October 27th and
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, plus the
Red Rescue Team version on Game Boy Advance and
Mario Slam Basketball (aka
Mario Hoops 3 on 3) on November 10th.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is due on November 24th, the Artoon developed
Yoshi’s Island 2 is scheduled for December 1st and new Nintendo DS and GameCube versions of
Harvest Moon are indicated for some point in the fourth quarter.
The GameCube version of
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is also given a “Q4” release date, disproving rumors that the GameCube version of the game would only be sold in North America.
