More from Reggie on Nintendo’s Big Three.

Given that most of you folks are probably done with Zelda: Twilight Princess already, you’re all probably looking for non-social, involving, time-sinks for your Wii.

As if in answer to reports of a Wii drought, Nintendo’s American boss, Reginald Fils-Aime, reaffirms in an interview with Game head that Nintendo’s goal is to release their three big titles: Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl “all this calendar year.”

When asked specifically though when we’ll see Metroid Prime 3 on shelves, Reggie was a bit conservative: “You know, I donÂ’t want to commit, because in the end, as you know, Mr Iwata [and] Mr Miyamoto make the final quality decision and so thatÂ’s out of my hand. When the game is ready.”

If you’re worried that you won’t see the title until 2008, Fils-Aime says that he thinks that “the risk of that is very, very small.” Metroid 3 a 2007 Holiday title? Given that Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo of America VP, has said that they’ll roll out stuff at a pace that makes sense, a well paced 2007 release spread seems likely.
