Bah, wednesday. Sorry.

NDA till Tuesday 8 AM GMT.

As its a US event I doubt any Euro news.

My expectations: MP3 playable New Mario Galaxy trailer New SSBB trailer with at least one new character confirmed Zelda: Phantom Hourglass trailer Some info on Wii Music

Either Mario Galaxy or Smash Bros will be delayed till 2008.

So when is the press event? Anyone know the exact time?

Could be a great Q3 for Europe. My guesstimates: July: Trauma Center August: Super Paper Mario September: Metroid Prime 3, Battalion Wars 2

New Tony Hawks' Proving Ground is coming to Wii. It looks like third parties are finally waking up: New Tony Hawk, The duck hunting game, new game from the Parappa people, Tomb Raider Anniv, the Square-Enix games, WayForward game, Soul Calibur Legends, Rock Band, Ghost Squad, Karous, Project Rygar, Gundam...

Probably early July here as well... What about Super Paper Mario? August?

I just tried the PC demo and this is... one worst game I've played in my life. It's on pair with Superman 64 and others. The pictures here are flattering. It looks like something from around 1998/1999. Closer to PSX/N64 than the latest PS2 games in terms of animation, details, framerate and textures. The controls are awful. The keyboard input seems to hang up all the time... And its basically just a pain to play. I just cant believe a game of this low quality is being made in 2007...

We have some catch-up to do (Pokemon Battle Revo, Fire Emblem Wii, Super Paper Mario, Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree), so I guess we'll see only half of these in Europe this year.

Pretty doubtful all 14 games scheduled for rest of 2007 in Japan will be released by the end of the year. And half of those will probably be delayed till 2008 in Europe anyway...

October in Japan. http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/?v=news&p=12882

Sound good... unless it's a full price Wii game...

I wont say its true or not, but the releases seems very likely. One of this teams are working on Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for DS as well.

With so little info, I guess theyre pretty far from finished. I bet they wont be released until 2008 at the earliest. But what about Batallion Wars 2? Wasnt that in playable state last september on GC? I guess we'll hear som info on it soon. Late summer release maybe? My predictions now: Latter half 2007: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Batallion Wars 2, Fire Emblem, Wii Music. 2008: Smash Bros. Brawl, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Wii Health Pack, Disaster, Project H.A.M.M.E.R., DK Bongo Blast, Forever Blue.

Q4 here I guess...

No, JULY 26th

Q3 should look pretty good though. Trauma Center, Manhunt 2, Big Brain Academy, Mario Party 8, Super Paper Mario, Scarface, Harry Potter, Pokémon Battle Revolution.

Clearly their highest score after Zelda. For me it's the first must-have Wii game.

That is awful. I was hoping AT LEAST Mario Party 8 was going to make Q2. My guesstimations for rest of the big hitters: Q3: Mario Party 8, Super Paper Mario Q4: Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 Sometime in 2008: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I say it's definitely online now. I guess it wil go head to head with Halo 3 in November.

Great news! Hopefully Super Paper Mario is out this quarter too. Maybe June?

Got Zelda. Super Paper Mario will probably be my second game.

No, they look at sales. It's those games that really attract people to a console.
