Nintendo's First Party Line Up

[Hadrian]

Pic from GoNintendo:

Nintendo has released this list of games that they will publish this year. Lots of new titles there, looks like they're gonna spring a lot of new IP's onto us. Of course not all games they are planning to release this year are listed, just like last year. Note: Famicom Wars DS2 is just their version of Days of Ruin, they are still yet to have this game!

Also listed but we already knew about:

Wii
Endless Ocean 2, Confirmed for Europe & Japan this year, no NA though.
New Play Control: Pikmin 2, confirmed for Q1 Europe, no NA though.
Another Code R, confirmed for Europe this year...again no NA.
Wii Sports Resort, still out in Spring 09 despite us not really seeing anything from it for ages. WiiMotion will be out at the same time as its being bundled with it.
Punch-Out! Out in NA & Europe first half of 2009
Sin & Punishment 2. Confirmed for NA & Europe but the time frame is 2009.
Hoshi no Kirby. Still listed for Japan, release 2009.

DS
DSi still listed for Spring for Europe & NA.
Rhythm Heaven/Paradise for Europe & NA 1st half of 09.
Walk With Me! Do You Know Your Walking Routine? Out in Europe and in NA as a more simple title Personal Trainer: Walking. It is bundled with two Activity Metres.
Mario & Luigi 3 just listed for Europe & NA for 2009.

So a few things cleared up a little. Some games have been dropped however. DS Air which was the English version of Jet Impulse...gone. Soma Bringer...gone. ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat...gone! That Hercules RPG...gone! The last three are surprising seeing how well RPG's sell & that they were rated well. Oh well I guess you'll have to use the unofficial translations instead.

Kirby wii still coming? :lmao:

 

[CockroachMan]

Well, there's the confirmation of english versions of Mario & Luigi RPG 3 and Another Code R.

And Punch-Out is still first-half of the year.. hope Sin & Punishment is not too far.

 

[granville]

Was there any doubt Mario and ......uh......the Green Brother 3 was coming to the US?

HAH! See, Another Code gets translated. I knew it and it made me sick that all these noobs thought it won't get translated. >_>

 

[Trolly]

Awesome to see Another Code R is gonna get localised

.
My only problem is that pretty much all the exciting titles are TBA, so we're gonna be waiting a long time for good first-party titles methinks :\.

Sucks to hear that DS Air got canned. Maybe someone will now do a translation. I was actually wanting that game. I played the (J) version, but I was waiting for an English version before I really got into it.

Same, I loved Freedom Wings on the DS, hopefully someone gets started at a translation soon.

W00t, Kirby!

It's sad to see Another Code R confirmed for Europe but not fo the USA (I know, it's better than JP-only, but still). It's gonna be Disaster: Day of Crisis all over again? Good lord, Nintendo... \=

I wouldn't worry about Disaster too much, it was half good and half awful.
