NINTENDO NEWS: NINTENDO PREPARES FOR POST-HOLIDAY CONSUMPTION OF GAMES


[Nov. 11, 2004]
After recovering from your turkey-dinner coma and dry-cleaning the nog stains off your pants that no longer fit, you'll need a way to spend all those gift cards that your relatives gave you. The holidays are still weeks away, but Nintendo already has its eyes on 2005.


Nintendo's game lineup for 2005 comes stuffed with innovative new games that take advantage of the touch-screen and wireless capabilities of the new Nintendo DS™. Likewise, owners of Nintendo GameCube™ and Game Boy® Advance SP will find new ways to enjoy new and favorite franchises.

    BEST...FIRST QUARTER...EVER

    2 games to get in January
    2 games to get in February
    3 games to get in March

    Not to mention games later on...

    So much for money next year...

    (edit: Zelda for Q2?  Doubt it, but it would be a nice summer title)

    No release date, or even a timeframe for Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and Advance Wars DS.
    What's up with that?!

    Well, I've got one or two Gameboy games to get, two Gamecube games (not including Zelda and maybe Geist), and several DS games to get when my birthday rolls around.
    This is looking good, and not excessively costly.  Awesome.

    NANI?! I thought all three of those games were before or shortly after the new year? I even heard that Mario Kart was launching with Japanese DS and European DS.

    (It is nice to finally see a solid name and release date for Star Fox though, which I have been expecting since F-Zero GX came out)

    I think it's obvious to see why those titles AREN'T coming out during this time period... =P

    Winnie the Pooh! Awesome! Who wants to bet that it outsells Virtua Fighter Quest?

    Klonoa 2 on GBA? Cool, i'll have to look into that.

    The DS lineup is pretty sad, needs more games.

    Maybe I'm stupid and don't know this, but I see Metroid Prime: Hunters showing up as Q2?  

    Is there a full fleshed out version in development?  If there is...well, like I said, I'm stupid.

    Q2 for GC Zelda? Much sooner than I was anticipating...

    Yes.. the version that's launching with DS is just the demo.

    Also, this needs to be highlighted

    "Here's a glimpse of what you'll be playing on Nintendo systems in the first part of 2005, along with dozens of unannounced titles that are currently in development."

    Anyway its great to know that Wario Ware GBA and Donkey Konga 2 will make it out of Japan

    did that just say Zelda for Q2 like around June or something?
    because it said AND... or is it just saying it's just in development?

    I asked because I thought it was a demo of the system itself instead of the game.  Kind of a way to advertise the multiplayer aspects, how an FPS works, graphics, etc.  

    Meh.

    A Pac-Man Pinball game on GBA? SOUNDS EROTIC.

    I'm stoked about the confirmation of the FE games coming here. Which FE is the GBA "FE2" going to be, though, FE6 (the first GBA one we didn't get, that could act as a sequel to the one we got), or the new one that's unrelated?
