Nintendo Reveals Strong Second-Quarter Lineup for Wii, Nintendo DS

REDMOND, Wash., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Wii(TM) owners of all ages have discovered the fun of playing with a group of friends in the same room. Now for the first time players can compete with one another near and far with Pokemon(R) Battle Revolution, a game of remarkable firsts:

* the first Wii game to include Nintendo(R) Wi-Fi Connection play
* the first Pokemon game for Wii
* the first game to link Wii and the hand-held Nintendo DS
* and the first Wii game that can be controlled using Nintendo DS

When Wii and Nintendo DS are linked, players can use their Nintendo DS units as controllers or import characters from the upcoming Nintendo DS games Pokemon(R) Diamond Version or Pokemon(R) Pearl Version. Pokemon Battle Revolution launches on June 25 exclusively for Wii and brings a dramatic new chapter to the Pokemon franchise, which has sold more than 155 million units worldwide. Pokemon Battle Revolution also serves as one of the standouts in
Nintendo's second-quarter launch lineup, which the company revealed today in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Pokemon Battle Revolution will be joined by Super Paper Mario(TM), the first Mario(TM) game for Wii; Mario Party(R) 8, a multiplayer party game; and Big Brain Academy(TM), a brain-training game that builds on the phenomenal success of the Nintendo DS brain games. These will add to the ever-growing
library of Wii games, which will total more than 50 by the end of June.
Nintendo DS fans will see the arrival of Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version, two surefire smash-hits.
"With strong third-party support, Wii and Nintendo DS have games on the way for both casual and veteran gamers," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "Our new ways to play have attracted millions of players
around the world. This lineup demonstrates our commitment to leading the industry with the future of video gaming."

Heatseeks just seems like it will be awesome, and MK:A seems like they actually put some thought into how to controle the game with the Wiimote. First Party titles are a no brainer. Also, this may not be all because these games where already announced for this quater, remember Nintendo CANNOT announce any thing new - even release dates. Not to mention that March has like 15 games being released, all third party games at that. __________________ Mario's Bitch Last edited by Kuriboo : 03-07-2007 at 06:19 PM.

Giving third parties a chance to shine maybe? I agree though, they haven't exactly taken the bull by the horns yet.

Super Paper Mario
Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl
Planet Puzzle League

I could not be happier about puzzle league. A Puzzle League/Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon game has been my dream DS game since the DS came out.

DeathDaddy Captain Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: City of Bridges Posts: 8,594	I will pick up Mario Party 8 on the Wii and might give one of the DS Pokemon games a go. I haven't been into Pokemon in many years but if it's online-enabled, it could be fun again. Even though I don't want to have to keep up with the 500 new Pokemon... bleh. The names just got worse and worse. I probably won't pick up this Pokemon Battle Revolution if it's the same vein that Pokemon Stadium struck at though. Oh, and I'll probably get Super Paper Mario too. Naturally!

Or perhaps they are just making sure their games are going to be of the utmost quality. No rush jobs. I will be so patient. Perhaps this means they are just pushing themselves extra hard by taking their time.
