21. Kirby plays with yarn on October 17th. Even more dates here:

That is a strong line up, especially starting in October. September will continue to be a little slow, although Metroid should do well, and new Carnival Games could do well, but probably won't start off with big numbers unless it gets heavily promoted.  October is a particularly strong month (sales potential wise) with Wii Party, Just Dance 2, and Kirby. The Donkey Kong Country Returns release date being the same as NSMB Wii last year, right before Black Friday, must mean that Nintendo does have big expectations for the game. I'm surprised that an offical release date for Goldeneye wasn't given as I thought it was already confirmed for Nov 2nd. Looking at the line up I think that since Disney Epic Mickey doesn't seem to be coming out in September, the best dates would either be November 1st, or the 1st week in December. where there doesn't seem to be any major releases planned.Also FlingSmash seems like a really strange title to just throw in there, it seems inevitable that it will be overlooked with all the other releases.

I really hope that Epic Mickey will get a sound release date soon. I don't want the game to be another Red Steel 2 and miss the holiday season, and also miss a bunch of potential sales too.

Speaking of which, I wonder which game will recieve the "Crazy Wii Sales Boost" this holiday season. Last year it was Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, and 2008 it was Nerf N-Strike and Guinness World Records: The Videogame. Which random game will it be this year?

I think they have a strong line-up for the rest of the year, and the games are evenly distributed, so you can get a lot of those. For me the less solid month is October its very casual in its offerings (Wii Party and Just Dance 2).

My bet for Epic Mickey is the "second" week of December (Dec 7), so it can benefit from the christmas sales, but they have enough time to make a good game.

Hah, i knew Kirby would land in October.

Makes for a slow September, but maybe that'll give me time for the Radiant Dawn playthrough i've been hankering for.

Woo! Wii Party's releasing earlier then I thought. :)

The US release date for Kirby makes me even more fustrated that it is being released in Europe until 2011

Shantae: Risky's Revenge is marked for the Holidays?  About time we got an updated date for that, but I was hoping for an exact date.

Here is my money, Nintendo. Just take it. Take it all.

I remember when the DS was launched in America us Europeans got The Legend of Zelda Minish Cap instead. Maybe this time Europeans get 3DS around November and Americans get Kirby
