Rumour: OoT, Kid Icarus, Starfox and RE:M European Release Dates
I feel like I'm going to have to make a tough decision on May 6th although I will most likely be getting Kid Icarus. For some reason I thought Kid Icarus was coming out a lot later in the year.
I have the Rabbids game already it's a really basic platformer.
" I feel like I'm going to have to make a tough decision on May 6th although I will most likely be getting Kid Icarus. For some reason I thought Kid Icarus was coming out a lot later in the year. I have the Rabbids game already it's a really basic platformer. "
Nintendo know they have to release something new (btw, Kid Icarus has been in development for ages). I'm a little surprised they might release two flight-based games on the same date, although it does make a lot of sense. The alternative is that they release Icarus alongside Ocarina, but that would be a terrible move. June 16th for Ocarina is ideal.
I know I'm getting Icarus, I was very impressed by the flight sections I played in the E3 demo. Stafox 64 3D is much easier to play now (according to Konno), as a direct result of the 3D. Nintendo haven't added anything new to the main game, but they are keeping quiet about whether the 3D version adds new content elsewhere.
Next month should shed some light on that game.
" No rumours on Mario Kart, Paper Mario or Animal Crossing? Lame. "
The above are Q1 - Q2 only, so you'll have to wait till E3 for Q3 - Q4.
My guess is Mario Kart will be released in the first week of December, I think it's going to be their big game this year, as every new Mario Kart is.
Is it just me or does it seem incredibly ignorant to release two of your guaranteed sellers within the same week?
I guess they just want them out as early in the month as possible.
I guess.
" No rumours on Mario Kart, Paper Mario or Animal Crossing? Lame. "Not sure about Paper Mario but what we saw of Animal Crossing and Mario Kart were little more than tech demo's. It's unlikely they'll be coming anytime soon, sadly.
Still, this list of coming games is infinitely better than anything that's been available for launch, plus there's Cave Story coming in June for the US. (Europe will have to wait until God knows when for that though).
