Nintendo Japan Lists 2007 Wii Releases
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Nintendo, Release Dates, Wii
IGN is reporting that Nintendo of Japan has revealed the Wii lineup for the rest of 2007. Japanese Wii owners can breath a little sigh of relief – high profile titles Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are slated for release in 2007. North American gamers will have to wait for confirmation on these titles, but a Japan release in 2007 would seem to be a good indication that the same games are on their way to the US as well, particularly Metroid. Nintendo, more than any other hardware manufacturer, relies heavily on their first party line up to carry the console, so getting 13 first party releases, albeit with non-games like Wii Health and Wii Music will help drive demand during the holiday season. Of course, this might be moot if Nintendo can’t increase their hardware supply as they have been promising. With third parties still seemingly adjusting to developing for the Wii, Nintendo is going to be the prime software supplier for 2007.

Japan’s January Virtual Console Titles Announced
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Nintendo, Retro, Wii
Nintendo of Japan has announced the latest batch of Virtual Console titles to be released in January, and it looks like US gamers will have more titles to envy. While the US has already seen the release of Alien Crush, there are a number of new titles that will hopefully make their way to other territories. NES titles like Ice Climbers, Kid Icarus and Zelda II: Link’s Adventure will be offered, along with Fire Emblem for the SNES and Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64. A couple of Genesis titles have been announced, including Gain Ground and a few more TurboGrafx-16 titles also round out the list. Siliconera has the fully translated list; while there is little hope for a Fire Emblem port, some of the other titles may yet be released in the US.
