Forums - Sales - Nine 2010 titles release within 2 months of each other. Winner?

Again, Gametrailers is saying Nintendo is on record as saying the game development is being finalized right now. The polish has plenty of time to be added in the next few months. It is entirely likely that the game will be ready to publish well before Summer of next year.

Galaxy won't be Q1, it'll be summer at earliest. We already basically know Nintendo's Q1 lineup (Endless Ocean 2, Sin & Punishment 2, 3D Picross, Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver). If anything else for Wii sneaks in, motion+ titles (Spawn Smasher, Reginliev) or the remaining NPC titles (Pikmin 2, Chibirobo) would be the most likely imo.

^^ Nintendo can be done with a game whenever they want to be done with the game in most cases. You don't think they were holding off on New Super Mario Bros. Wii to release it? I don't think Nintendo are like Sony or Microsoft, where their first party titles go gold 2 weeks before release date. They try to make sure their releases come out on time.

^ I'm expecting some NPC games as well. I'm actually expecting them to announce more NPC games over the next few months (Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Donkey Konga, etc.)

Oh sure.  I should clarify, I don't think Galaxy 2 going next summer is an R&D issue, it's a scheduling issue.  Nintendo has Pokemon for their big March title, they won't double up with Galaxy as well.

I think we'll see Galaxy 2 and Friend Connection next summer as Nintendo's big games.  Then Other M and maybe Zelda in the fall/holidays.  I expect a big Nintendo push for MH3 and DQIX next year too.

 

 

As far as NPC, I don't think they did as well as expected and really, they seemed more like a stopgap solution to cover Nintendo weak late 2008/early 2009 schedule.  I don't really see us getting any more except maybe the already finished games (Pikmin 2, Chibirobo) and even those I'm not 100% on.  I hope to see Pikmin 2 at least since it's already 100% localized.

God of War 3 FTW. Uncharted 2 & it are the only reasons I want a PS3.

Galaxy 2 would most like be released on a day like August 10th-25th, depending on when E3 is next year. Will strengthen Nintendo's Q3 revenue

The only problem with that argument is about half of those games have been released in Japan already.

Ummm where the hell is GT?

Sure, but they'll want some buffer room between NSMBWii and Galaxy 2 in Japan as well.  I dunno what Japan will see on Wii in Q1 besides Reginliev, though Spawn Smasher and maybe something like Line Attack Heroes are possibilities (both were playable last E3).  Monado and Cosmic Walker are maybes too, though less likely imo.

MMmm...Just a question. Does Dead Rising 2 come out in January? I thought it did but I'm not sure.

No, it's spring.  Capcom didn't give out estimates so it's definitely after April.
