News: That's the good news, the bad news is that Mario Kart Wii has been delayed.
Nintendo has unleashed a massive release schedule covering every game that is coming to the DS and Wii in the last three months of 2007 and the first three months of 2008. The list includes 89 Wii titles and 129 DS titles.
With a release schedule this large (and knowing the DS and Wii's history of gimmick games), it's bound to be filled with plenty of shovelware. But there are also plenty of gems sprinkled throughout and solid dates for many titles that previously did not have firm release dates. For the Wii, this includes Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on November 6, Tomb Raider: Anniversary on November 13 and Endless Ocean on January 21. Sadly, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is no where to be found on the schedule, so I believe it is safe to assume it has been delayed. Two other Capcom titles that were scheduled to ship in October and November, Harvey Birdman and Zack and Wiki (which is listed at retailers with a 10/23 release date) were also not included.
Finally, Mario Kart Wii has officially been delayed from Q1 2008 to Spring 2008. But this was almost expected.
There are few surprises on the DS side of the coin, but we do know that the previously unannounced
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is coming on January 21. If you wish to see the full list, take a deep breath and check it out right here:
