Metroid confirmed for August in US, no Smash or Mario yet
Nintendo today issued a press release confirming about 50 games, both first- and third-party, for release across the Nintendo DS and Wii this summer and fall. On the Wii front, we get a confirmation for Mario Strikers Charged coming July 30, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on August 20, and Battalion Wars 2 sometime in September. For the DS, we’ll be getting Picross DS on July 30, Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day on August 20, among others.
Unfortunately, neither Super Smash Bros. Brawl nor Super Mario Galaxy are on the line-up through the fall, at least not yet. Sorry guys, but barring a surprise announcement, it doesn’t look like Smash will go up against Halo this September. Fortunately, we’ll have Prime long beforehand.
Full press release after the break.
