Nintendo’s US Release Schedule

Nintendo has released its release schedule for games it will be publishing for the rest of the year. The wording used, however, is interesting. “While the new Wii™ console will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2006, Nintendo has plenty of other things to keep people busy until then.” That would imply this is just the software releases up until the release of the Wii. Interestingly, the last date on this list is October 30th. It would be weird that Nintendo would not release any DS games just before the holiday rush. Wii launch in early November now? Who knows. Come on Nintendo, throw us a bone!
