Wow, Pokemon Black/White is coming up in only a month and a half. That'll be the big one in Japan this holiday season, no doubt about it.

As for Mario Sports Mix, I think putting it until 2011 is a good idea. Wii Party is going to be Nintendo's big casual/expanded gamer push, and it would seem wise to not let anything get in its way.

Xenoblade and Reginliev are looking more and more like 2011 titles, but we sort of knew that for the former anyways. Ah well...

*Salutes European Gamers* Sorry about Kirby.

EDIT: Although not a Nintendo published game, looks like Lost in Shadow got yet another delay. This is just getting silly, I really want to play it!



FUCK THIS!!!

Kirby only 2011 here??? No Xenoblade???



 

OMG YES! Xenoblade was mentioned in the NA BIT!

EDIT: Yes but I'm a citizen of EU 

so not confirmed for us



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (Holiday)

Xenoblade (TBA)

The fun thing about saying "Fall" is that "Fall" pretty much guarantees October. November falls into the sphere of "holiday," and September is stuck in the financial quarter with two Summer months, and from a business standpoint would probably be labeled as such

 

So, Epic Yarn in October, DKCR in November.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Why should we wait we wait 3 months for Kirby? It's not like that game will have huge amount of text, and even if that was the case it wouldn't be a valid excuse.



Kirby's never been big in Europe. Best to let the hype/awareness build into the new year.

Anyone think 2D Donkey Kong Country is gonna beat Mario Kart like it did when they both debuted on the SNES?

2D Donkey Kong pretty much completes the return of all of Nintendo's biggest sellers for past sytems. Goes to show how stupid Capcom were by putting SF4 on the wrong console(s).



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Xenoblade.

North America.

F*** yes.

Dude... have you looked at the Mario Kart Wii sales?

If New Super Mario Brothers Wii hasn't taken it over (yet) what makes you think DKCR has ANY chance?
