The day Minna launches is going to be a riot in Japan. I think we will see more photos of gaming stores with lines outside of them, simply because of the number of games releasing that day. Have a look at July 26th's release schedule for Japan.

El oh el. 

 Wow. I had no idea. What I find most interesting is that it's the same day Mario Party 8 launches. Mario Party 8 is going to be huge. The Mario Party series always sells quite well in Japan, but with the nature of the Wii, the game is probably going to be a major mover. I wonder if they timed it to release when EG 5 did?

 

Edit: Oh wow, and a Wii gundam game. Is that the fps gundam game we've heard about?

Also, I'd imagine MGS Portable Ops will do well too. That should be a really strong week for everybody
