Nintendo just announced their summer lineup and it seems like MP:3 will be coming sooner than I expected.

Also, they finally announced Picross for the US and gave a firm release date for Brain Age 2.

    It's the continuation of the Battle Network series. New story and different perspective in battle.

    Basically the same thing, though.

    At least there's Fulllmetal Alchemist Trading Card Game Destineer, Nancy Drew and The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park and Pet Luv Spa & Resort Tycoon to tide me over.

    You should all run out and get Picross. So much better than that boring ass Sudoku crap, I mean do you get a pixel elephant at the end of your Sudoku? Do you?

    Throw in the vast amounts of puzzles, daily brain-training-esque stats and nice online elements and you have a mighty fine package. And a pixel elephant.

    none of those are notable

    I mean, maybe Mario Strikers Charged

    but those three definitely aren't

    That's a pretty decent list of releases for the summer months...

    Hooray for those with heliophobia. Besides, Nintendo has the pokeymans, so it'll be at least a few months before they even NEED to release anything.

    Nintendo to buy August?

    EDIT: Plus we all know, deep down, that we're really waiting for Aug. 14. High School Musical: Sing It! is gonna be the Halo-Killer.

    MP1 was released in Europe 4 months after US. Also MP2 was a 60hz only game (i.e. no PAL conversion) so I'm not holding my breath for a simultaneous release of MP3.

    I'm glad Metroid has a date and I'm even more excited that it's in the summer. Everything else on that list is kinda bleh to me though.

    Makes me wonder if they decided to wait and see when Halo was shipping to announce a date for Metroid. Last time, Halo 2 ate Metroid's sells something awful.

    Other than Strikers, Bwii, MP3, and Madden 08, there isn't a lot for me on the Wii summer list.

    EDIT: Also, it looks like September will be Console FPS month for me. I'll be playing MP3 starting september 7th, and then, as soon as I finish it, Halo 3 should arrive.
