Sweet......except most the games I want are TBA or a generic 2010. At least S&P 2 is coming up soon.

30 Oct 2009, 20:49 GMT
They're more likely to stick to these schedules than the WiiWare one.
3. Dazza
30 Oct 2009, 20:49 GMT
Now if only we could get a schedule for downloadable games!
4. Sabrewing
30 Oct 2009, 20:52 GMT

8. Starkiller
30 Oct 2009, 20:57 GMT

13. pixelman
30 Oct 2009, 21:03 GMT

Only ones for me I see so far are NSMBW, SMG2, and MOM.
14. PhillepinO
30 Oct 2009, 21:05 GMT
Yay Endless Ocean 2!
15. PhoenixSage
30 Oct 2009, 21:06 GMT
Meh, I already knew all of these,
and the one I'm really pining for still hasn't been given a solid release date. It's not coming 'til 2011, is it?Maybe I should read the title or something. Then I wouldn't have to get so worked up.S&P2, SMG2, and M:OM, all in 2010. It's gonna be a sweet year, that's for sure.
16. cheetahman91
30 Oct 2009, 21:08 GMT
I've known about the new Kirby game for ages now.
17. irken004
30 Oct 2009, 21:08 GMT
What is this "Span Smasher"?
18. bbb7002004
30 Oct 2009, 21:11 GMT
I want Cosmic Walker for NA release.
I'm also sad there is no date for Golden Sun DS. Guess we will be seeing that in 2011 then.
19. Kokstra
30 Oct 2009, 21:12 GMT
Relax guys, Kirby Wii has been on the release list for years now and it'll probably stay right there a while longer.
20. Panda
30 Oct 2009, 21:17 GMT
@bbb7002004: This list is Wii-only.
21. Toad Fan 101
30 Oct 2009, 21:18 GMT
Yay ! I love all the games ! @ Kokstra and chettahman91 I know ! Kirby has been on for ever . But if it is really come out 2009 ,why is it not on japans website there is like only two more months in 2009 .
22. ryanknight717
30 Oct 2009, 21:24 GMT
its titled "Kirby of the Stars", hinting it may be anime-connected
23. Sylverstone
30 Oct 2009, 21:24 GMT
Other M is a working title? The subtitle sounds cool....
don't drop it, Nintendo!

Kirby!! Wiii!!! Kirby Wii!!!
26. Odnetnin
30 Oct 2009, 21:30 GMT
@pixelman Ditto. But just now realizing that Metroid: Other M, turns into MOM when abbreviated, I am decidely less excited for it.
And no Zelda on that list...surprise, surprise.
27. Croz
30 Oct 2009, 21:32 GMT
I can't wait for Sin & Punishment 2! & NSMBW!
28. KDR_11k
30 Oct 2009, 21:52 GMT
So Dynamic Slash is still listed and they're still saying it's coming in 2009 but there's still no information about it beyond the tiny trailer from a year ago...
Well, at least it's not canceled.
29. V8 Ninja
30 Oct 2009, 21:52 GMT
New Kirby Announcement: V8 Ninja cannot express his love for the fact that this is happening.
Span Smasher: What's that? anybody now about this game/series?
Monado: BotW: thought I heard about this one. It's an RPG, right?
30. Cipher
30 Oct 2009, 21:58 GMT
Japan has been getting a new Kirby game since 2006.
It's always the same one too, Hoshi no Kirby or "Kirby of the Stars," which is always supposed to come out "this year" in Japan.

34. shake_zula
30 Oct 2009, 23:00 GMT
Why are Other M and SMG2 scheduled for next year in the west but TBA in Japan?!
35. Koto
30 Oct 2009, 23:31 GMT
JAPAN IS GETTING KIRBY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!? WHY HAVEN'T WE GOTTEN ANY NEW INFO ON IT!?!?!?
36. Koto
30 Oct 2009, 23:32 GMT
and the Wii is having a ultra great list late this year and next year, s when will we get Kirby?
37. Dicesukeinuzuka
30 Oct 2009, 23:32 GMT
@ cheetahman91, Line attack Heroes looks pretty cool, I'll be on the lookout for info on the game.
38. pinta_vodki
30 Oct 2009, 23:41 GMT
Come on, bring the new Kirby to Europe!! =)) And the sooner the better. Yay!

Lots of Nintendo games coming soon. Really cannot wait for most of those games.
40. WhoKnew
30 Oct 2009, 23:50 GMT
Can't wait for NSMBWii, SMG2, M:OM, and S&P2. Hurry up 2010!
41. Big A2
30 Oct 2009, 23:53 GMT
We're always left out....
42. RevolverLink
31 Oct 2009, 00:18 GMT
No sign of Picross 3D anywhere.
43. motang
31 Oct 2009, 00:38 GMT
Glad to see Monado on the list for the US!
44. zezhyrule
31 Oct 2009, 00:54 GMT
I hope they change the name of Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's so unoriginal.
45. metakirbyknight
31 Oct 2009, 01:25 GMT
I want Kirby of the Stars now! Its been coming out this year for three years.
P.S.- New Avatar!
46. buffalobob
31 Oct 2009, 01:47 GMT
Nothing new. That Kibry game has been on that list since last year.
47. Sean Aaron
31 Oct 2009, 02:25 GMT
Endless Ocean 2 worldwide? This one I will check out. Cosmic Walker Japan-only? I cannot believe that would be true; I also don't believe it's coming this year since I don't see it on any pre-order lists...oh wait tentative release schedules kids, so let's hold off on the boycotts and breath-holding, okay?
48. Ren
31 Oct 2009, 02:41 GMT
how is a year a release date? all seems pretty vague except the one or two at the top.
49. Token Girl
31 Oct 2009, 03:00 GMT
I'm thinking Other M will be a summer release, and Galaxy 2 will be an X-mas release.
50. Yosher
31 Oct 2009, 03:05 GMT
Dang Europe's list is short. Only 2 2009 titles too, and 4 generic 2010's.. oh well. New Super Mario Bros. Wii will keep me busy enough.
51. Stuffgamer1
31 Oct 2009, 03:38 GMT
No new information whatsoever...STILL nothing about NPC Pikmin 2 in NA (no, I will NOT stop complaining about that!), or Trace Memory 2 for that matter. Dammit, NoA...you suck.
52. Objection_Blaster
31 Oct 2009, 04:01 GMT
I am indeed starting to wonder if that Kirby will ever come out. We really need one, since we haven't had a real 3D Kirby since 2000.
53. Swiket
31 Oct 2009, 04:38 GMT
New Kirby game is old news. Like, months old.
54. BB Thrilla
31 Oct 2009, 14:30 GMT
1up.com says the kirby game is coming out in 2009 in japan. the sites said this for months! but all these games r awesome! WOOT!
55. letsplay
31 Oct 2009, 17:15 GMT
New Super Mario Bros. Wii – On my Christmas list
Sin and Punishment 2 — WOW A wild shooting fest.
Metroid: Other M — On my list
Super Mario Galaxy 2 — Yes. On my list.
Span Smasher — Pictures look interesting.
Monado: Beginning of The World — hack and slash with HUGE swords
56. Starwolf_UK
31 Oct 2009, 17:39 GMT
@valleyoftheunos. I agree. Not only is it a cut of paste of the one 3 months ago (not even changing the dates so nonsensically Kirby is still due in 2009*) but people get sensational and wacky when game x isn't on the list boo hoo.
End of the day these lists are to show the stockholders that Nintendo is releasing games in the future and nothing more.
*-Though it is likely this list is Financial Year 2009/2010 which means it has Until April...
57. roro44
31 Oct 2009, 17:50 GMT
That's a lot of working titles.

Yay!
59. LEGEND MARIOID
31 Oct 2009, 19:40 GMT
I hope span smasher (which uses wiimotionplus) gets released over here.
Kirby Wii has been scheduled for release every year since the wiis release I think?! Don't hold your breath.

31 Oct 2009, 20:02 GMT
@Starwolf_UK: That's easy for YOU to say, Mr. I-can-go-buy-either-of-the-games-Stuffgamer1-mentioned-any-time-I-want-to-because-I'm-in-Europe. I have just as much right to complain that you guys are getting awesome games I want that we aren't as you used to have doing the same in reverse before NoE and NoA swapped qualtiy.
61. Viper6391
31 Oct 2009, 20:30 GMT
A new Kirby game? Well, that's the first I have ever heard of it. All the others I know about except for Span Smasher and Monado: Beginning of the World. Can anyone fill me in on those games? Really looking forward to Metroid, Super Mario Bros, and Sin and Punishment!
62. Token Girl
01 Nov 2009, 08:46 GMT
@Stuffy
Yeah, I want Pikmin 2 as well. I played Pikmin for the first time when the NPC came out, and I love it. We'll probably see it when one of the bigger titles is delayed, or it's not a big enough shopping season to release a bigger title, but they need to release something to keep there from being too large a gap between games.

Japan:
Metroid: Other M (Working title) — TBA

New Super Mario Bros. Wii — Dec. 3, 2009
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. Did Japan annoy Nintendo recently or something? "Wii sales are down YOU MUST BE PUNISHED."
65. Kevin
02 Nov 2009, 15:37 GMT
So what's going on with New Play Control! Pikmin 2? Japan and Europe have had it for months!
66. Feld0
03 Nov 2009, 00:03 GMT
So...the Kirby game that was rumoured, and sort-of announced more than two years ago finally gets a confirmation? Cool, but I'm really hoping to get my grubby little hands on Super Mario galaxy 2 ASAP! Must find something to do in the meantime...
replays Super Mario Galaxy AGAIN
pre-orders New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Argh! The wait! The agonizing wait!
