Punch-Out!! coming first half 2009, and more US / Europe Nintendo release dates

I know right, i cant wait...........................................................................




....................................................yes i can wait, yes.

what the hell! Thats not me.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but for those of use that already bought the wii play control titles when they were on gamecube, can't nintendo invest some of it's nintendillions of dollars into some new IPs to balance out all the crap 3rd part? Is it wrong to assume that Nintendo should be able to put out as many good games as a thrid party like Capcom who not only puts out many new games a year, but does so on multiple systems?

*3rd partY

Damn he has been posting a long time too. I never noticed. Just so everyone knows who the real walrus is around here.

His name wasn't always Dirty, Dirty.

Nintendo certainly has a lot going on. I mean, you just don't have developers on your payroll sit around on their asses and rake in the jack. Retro: top secret project. Monster Games: top secret project. Nintendo EAD groups: Pikmin, Zelda, and Mario. HAL Laboratories: possibly still Kirby? Nintendo Software Technology: no fucking clue, though rumors talk of a revived Project HAMMER. Intelligent Systems: the latest Fire Emblem is complete, so they're probably back in the planning stages again

Exactly, Khan. They're probably waiting for GDC or E3 to talk about those secret projects.

Yeah, then it's just a matter of whether or not NOA decides to release any of them in the US.
Ugh. The US release list for Wii in particular is disgusting when compared to the Japanese one.

Yeah, waiting for new games on Wii wouldn't be so bad if the older games on Wii got cheaper faster.

I swear, of all the systems out there, Nintendo games take the longest to go down in price.

@Mr. Khan: And don't forget Factor 5, top secret unnanounced ga- whoops.

Don't think anybody listed that mountain game (cursed mountain? something like that), that one looks awesome. I think that's due late this year, but not sure.

Seriously, from that list, I'm pretty positive about Rhythm Tengoku and maaaaybe about Trace Memory Wii - although is this just a remake of the DS version? Hope not, since that one was good but you know, I already played it. (It was also way short.)

Pikmin I never played, maybe it's good, but I think I'll wait for the 'real' Pikmin 3 (presumably next year or so). No interest in Punch Out, wait-and-see on Sin and Punishment... so overall that list is not too exciting for me personally. But it's not a *bad* list and there are lots of interesting third-party games coming out to make up for it.

The report's of Factor 5's death was an IGN rumor, though. But the really fun part is that Factor 5 has never followed up on that rumor. If the company were still alive, you would think they would try to reassure the public. If they were dead, former employees would be talking. Something weird is definitely going on

Jesus, thanks for the spoiler :X

Ah man !!
you forgot about MadWorld, and the Conduit !

Those games are intriguing. But they don't carry the same excitement for me as Punch Out! does. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking.

I'm pretty sure people are saying this year looks pretty sweet for the Wii based off of this list and the rather extensive list of awesome-looking third party games it has coming. One pretty much every month from what I can tell.

Dust on the Wii jokes are one of the most asinine, stupid, and tired jokes I've ever heard. HAR.

I haven't played mine in awhile either, Fable II, Fallout 3, etc. But seriously that's a tremendously stupid and unfunny joke.

Hey, for some people, dust on the Wii is not a joke. I literally removed a cobweb from between the Wii remote charger and my Wii the other day.

Yeah, we need Another Code R/Trace Memory over here. I loved the first one and it's kind of disappointing to see it not on the US list.

On the other hand, it's kind of suspicious that so much of the Wii stuff has such nebulous release dates (and like Sheppy said, they've sat on Rhythm Heaven long enough). I'd be willing to bet there's more on the way than just what's here (but mostly from third parties).

Actually Freakazoid I didn't know of that game in particular until you named it. So they just gained another potential costumer here.

The name is Dexter Douglas when I'm not freaking out...

The nerd computer ace?

Pleased to meet you, Dexter. Name's Francis Pumphandle, but
everyone calls me 'Pip'.

what the hell are you talking about?

AAGhH damnit! another miss fire on the comments system

"It's fully translated"

You wouldn't be lying, would you? That is rather contrary to other information I have heard about the title.

Now I got Queen's "Bicycle Race" playing in my head. Thank you.

You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is

Bicycle bicycle bicycle

Fat bottomed girls will be riding today...

They make the world go 'round!

Uh yes. I just got through Tales of Symphonia 2 and I'm starting on Opoona. And then I have Sam & Max Season 1, Mushroom Men, and de Blob on my GameFly queue, which should pull me through up until I get Street Fighter 4, which I will play while waiting for Star Ocean 4 and then Mad World comes out in March, which I will then play. And at some point I'll have to fit the new House of the Dead in there, and I never bought Pikmin the first time around so I'll probably pick up the Wii version of that since a used copy of the GC version goes for $25 still. Then there's Marble Saga, the sequel to one of my favorite underappreciated games on the Wii, I'll probably give the new Crystal Chronicles a spin since the other two were fun, Major Minor's Majestic March comes out somewhere in there as well (it's a game by the creator of Parappa which means I cannot miss it) so I'll get that, then it's Little King's Story and Klonoa in May, and hopefully by that time, a release date for Arc Rise Fantasia will be announced so I can wait for that. And Muramasa. And hopefully Fragile finds a publisher. And I don't even know when The Conduit comes out but that could be good.

I mean, giant paragraph there aside, yes, there is PLENTY to play in the coming months on the Wii. I'm sure I'll fit a bunch of 360 games in there as well, but between Street Fighter 4 online versus and how long Star Ocean 4 will be, I doubt I'd get around to other stuff, though Resident Evil 5 is lurking along with Alpha Protocol.

Actually, looking at release date lists, I'd say the Wii's got a heavier Spring than the 360 by quite a bit. I've got a lot of play time ahead of me.

Or you can have BOTH Pikmin 3 AND something you bought years ago?

How about that?

"I gave mine to my in-laws to fool around with"

I lol'd.

with a certain song about a certain ethnic minority stealing one's mode of transportation?

My Wii has crazy dust on it and I've been playing Cubello every single day lately... (But no more! Since I finally got the #1 score on Endless and I already passed all the stages. Enough! Or I'll be dreaming cubes.)

Have you noticed most of the games these gen are FPS,sequels or remakes?
