Nintendo of Europe has disclosed the early 2009 release schedules for Wii and Nintendo DS, including third party-published games in addition to Nintendo's own titles.

The comprehensive Wii software line-up reveals the launch dates for the first two in a range of GameCube games to be re-purposed for Wii: Pikmin will arrive on February 6, while Mario Power Tennis is on course for a March release. Both games bear the prefix "NEW PLAY CONTROL!" to emphasise the utilisation of the Wii Remote involved in these re-releases. Notable in its absence from the list of first party software is Fatal Frame 4, which has previously been reported to be due for a February release from Nintendo of Europe.

Several highly anticipated third party-published Wii games also appear on the list. THQ's Deadly Creatures is slated to release on February 13, Tenchu: Shadow Assassins will come courtesy of Ubisoft on March 5, while Little King's Story follows later in the month from Rising Star Games. Sega has a number of notable titles ready for release in the first quarter: House of the Dead: Overkill will arrive in February, with Sonic and the Black Knight and Platinum Games' Madworld both set for March releases.

On DS, the schedule includes a couple of Nintendo-published games in the form of Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir (February 6) and Walk with Me! (February 20). The latter title utilises an "Activity Meter" pedometer accessory to track stats on daily walking distances for up to four people on the same game card.
