NINTENDO'S HOLIDAY LINEUP HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Find Great Gifts for Everyone on Your Shopping List


REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 15 - As summer draws to a close, the air begins to chill and people begin to turn their thoughts to holiday gift lists. Whether the people on your list have been playing since the 1980s or only since last week, Nintendo has you covered. The Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems have a huge selection of games for everyone on your list, including many that you won't find anywhere else.

"This extensive lineup will keep players busy throughout the fall and into 2010," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Shoppers know that Nintendo offers fun for everyone in the household."

Upcoming Nintendo-published games for the Wii console include Wii Fit™ Plus (Oct. 4) and New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii (holiday 2009). These games will join the current hot seller, Wii Sports Resort™, which comes with the new precision-control Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. Fans of portable games will enjoy Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (Oct. 12), Style Savvy™ (Nov. 2) and The Legend of Zelda™: Spirit Tracks (Dec. 7) in addition to the just-released Mario & Luigi™: Bowser's Inside Story, all playable on both Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems.

The changing autumn leaves will be in good company with some new colors for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers. New White and Pink Nintendo DSi systems made their debut on Sept. 13, while a Black Wii Remote controller and Wii MotionPlus accessory package will be available this holiday season. A Black version of the Nunchuk controller will be sold separately as well.

Third-party publishers are supporting Nintendo platforms with impressive quality and wide-ranging titles. Wii exclusives like Dead Space™ Extraction from Electronic Arts and FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: THE CRYSTAL BEARERS® from Square Enix will provide thrills that can't be found elsewhere. At the same time, Nintendo DS owners are anxiously awaiting another powerhouse release: KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS from Square Enix. And Activision's Band Hero™, available on both Wii and Nintendo DS, features compelling interactivity between the two hardware systems through wireless connectivity.

Below is a partial list of upcoming games for Wii, the WiiWare™ service, Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. Note that game titles and launch dates are subject to change.

How depressing. The games being made by each publisher by system:

Activision

Wii - 18
DS - 10

EA

Wii - 11
DS - 11

THQ

Wii - 11
DS - 12

Ubisoft

Wii - 13
DS - 25

Nintendo:

Wii - 2
DS - 3

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these figures?

[A Black Falcon]

That Nintendo isn't making games anymore, just running their money presses? They're running a little slower now though, you'd think they'd up the games budget slightly... oh well.

The biggest news on that list? Shantae for DSiware, probably... too bad I don't have a DSi. :(

Other than that, there's more interesting stuff on that DS list than the Wii list really -- Phantasy Star Zero, Zelda Spirit Tracks, etc. Wii has a few good ones too though, though yeah New Super Mario Bros. better be a big hit, because Nintendo doesn't have much else... (well okay, Wii Fit Plus will sell huge. But not to gamers.)

FFCC TCB coming this year is interesting, though... but why the day after Christmas? Kind of odd timing there... oh well, that's better than next year anyway! :)

[lazyfatbum]

I expect a surprise announcement soon. Wii Super Mario Bros. will not be the only Nintendo Christmas release. :P

It will either be a surprise Zelda release hyped in November/announced October or something out of the blue. Pikmin, Starfox, Kid Icarus. Maybe F-Zero. Nintendo wont dare stick to that release list.

By Christmas we will be awaiting a big core IP for Wii and probably a price cut. But that wont stop PS3 and 360 from dominating this Christmas.

NINTENDO'S HOLIDAY LINEUP HAS SOMETHING FROM EVERYONE

It isn't, they also have Wii Fit Plus... :)

(What? It's going to sell hugely well, no matter if no gamers buy it...)

You're right they need a pricecut though, hopefully they do it.
