Nintendo lays out Q4 '07, Q1 '08 slate
Nintendo lays out Q4 '07, Q1 '08 slate
May 20, 2024 12:53 AM

  Today's delay of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii may have put a crimp in many holiday wish lists, but Nintendo is hoping the rest of its lineup will soothe any sore feelings. Nintendo has announced its latest North American release schedule, with more than 150 games on the DS and Wii expected to launch from the start of October to the end of 2007, and dozens more slated for the first three months of 2008.

  Nintendo-published DS games made up some of the more notable release dates, with the Advance Wars sequel Days of Ruin set to start the new year off with a bang, landing in stores on January 21. For more near-term entertainment, Flash Focus: Train Your Vision in Minutes a Day will be coming into view October 15, with Master of Illusion magically appearing November 26. Combined with the already-released Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass and Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol, there were seven Nintendo-published games on the DS schedule.

  Although the total of scheduled DS releases was substantially larger than that of the Wii, Nintendo is producing slightly more in-house support for its TV-tethered system. The company is publishing eight Wii games on the schedule, with only one of those (Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast) already released. Nintendo has actually strung together the remainder of its 2007 first-party Wii lineup for release in consecutive weeks, with Battalion Wars 2 arriving October 29, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn set for November 5, Super Mario Galaxy on November 12, and Link's Crossbow Training (with the Wii Zapper) on November 19.

  The list contained a few release dates of note from third parties as well. While Ubisoft hasn't actually announced a DS version of Assassin's Creed, Nintendo's list provides support for an April retailer listing that first hinted at the game's existence. According to Nintendo, the game is set for a February release.

  Sega's NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is still set for a holiday 2007 release, despite rumors that the game was pushed into next year. Another Sega game, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, was given a set date of February 19. Finally, Ubisoft is continuing to inundate Nintendo fans with options, given that it is releasing eight DS games and seven Wii games in the month of November alone.
