Has NoE announced European dates to August yet? We got Echoes a week later, im hoping they keep it as tight this time around.

I'm kinda bummed that Wii apparently will not be getting MOH: Airborne. Can anyone point me to Brothers in Arms info?

Megaman ZX? It's the closest you'll see. I'm not sure about classic MM but X and Zero are both dead and their storylines over (not that that means much with Zero).

That said, it could definitely be entertaining. I had a good time playing the single level multiplayer demo they had back in September, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Now I have two games I need to finish before the end of August, Prime 2 and Batallion Wars.

Wait if the audiences are different, shouldn't that mean that Batallion Wars does stand a chance (Unless you are referring to it toppling Halo)? I agree that it will not beat Halo 3, but I think it has potential to sell quite well this time around. Also in regards to another post, does it really matter if Mario Galaxy is a system seller or not? If Nintendo is still selling out everything they produce, which is far more than the competition, shouldn't that be what matters? It is total units sold that matters the most, not how many systems you sell with it.

I guess what I meant to say GP is that they don't stand a chance of affecting each other in any real way. They might both do well, but it has nothing to do with the fact that they came out close to each other.

Awsome, I was worry that prime would be delayed to next year.

And Phantom Hourglass was revealed way back at GDC 2006! It's possible that they're holding it for a holiday release, but still, Nintendo really needs to find a way to speed up Aonuma's team's development..

No, PH is come along nicely in japan and is releasing in a month (June 23, 07!). NOA on the other hand, might forget about PH after releasing SMG/SSBB/MP3....

Ah I see, that I do agree with. I really do hope BWII does better than the first, which was a quality game that deserved better sales. Not to mention it better do well so I can play people online. Hehe

Personally I would rather Nintendo take the time with Phantom Hourglass, speeding things up is usually not a good thing. Anyway if Nintendo can release the SMG/SSBB/MP3 combo this year I can see a bright future for Wii, either of those games should be enough to continue the momentum. My only concern (Or is more curiosity?) is what Nintendo has planned for 2008 and beyond after releasing their big properties so early.

Excellent. Prime 3 will come out just in time to make sure that I fail another semester of school.

I CANNOT WAIT!

You'll get the honor of being destroyed by players like me.

Hmm? I thought I implied that Nintendo may want to hold off on releasing Galaxy for a time where the Wii isn't selling out. Who knows when that might be, but if the Wii is sold out through 2007, it could be a waste of Galaxy's potential to release it this year.

So hopefully Nintendo boosts production enough so that Wiis are easy to find by the time Galaxy is out.

Considering it's hard for developers to even get a bloody two-player fighting game running lag-free, I'd be really surprised if Ninty can get it working with four players...But yeah, don't really care either way...

Mario will probably pop up in the fall/winter quarter.

It's good to see MP3 get a solid release date.
My sole reason for buying a Wii finally has a date.

Does MP3 have a website yet?
I know Brawl has a website and it doesn't even have a release date yet.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #42 on:** May 21, 2007, 06:00:46 PM »

Cuz Brawl needs the hype since it'll get trounced by Halol3.

Nintendo knows MP3 isn't exciting, and Nintendo knows they can't build a good website for it either, so Nintendo isn't bothering to spend the money to make a website and start the hype train.

But BWii will be the real test for online success since there's much more going on in that game in an online session than silly laggy fighting matches and fps-wannabe bounty hunting girls.

Where the hell is my Smash Bros?

Ian Sane · « **Reply #44 on:** May 22, 2007, 05:47:37 AM »

Okay, so I guess I'm getting a Wii by August 20, assuming I can find one by then. Every time Nintendo comes up in the conversation my brother asks me "when is Metroid Prime 3 coming out?" Now I can finally give him an answer and maybe he'll stop bugging me.

I think Batallion Wars is more likely be overshadowed by Metroid than Halo. If a Nintendo fan is on a budget they're probably going to make sure they have enough for Metroid. But with Batallion Wars coming out only a month after they may have to skip it. With really big games you can usually skip it and buy it later but Batallion Wars might get overlooked. It may be a title that looked good at the time but you didn't have the money and then when you did get the money other titles were available that caught your interest more.

Kind of like how Wii Play overshadowed Super Paper Mario. Oh wait, nevermind!
