Mario, Smash Bros., and Zelda This Year

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

The big guys
 
You better start saving money for this fall/winter. Reggie recently confirmed at the Nintendo Media Summit that we can expect, not only Metroid Prime 3 this year, but also that Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) will be out before we hit 2008. It’s going to be an expensive, but amazing winter this year (Christmas will be crazy-busy) for AAA Nintendo titles. Hopefully Nintendo still has some aces up their sleeves (F-Zero, Kirby, New Zelda for Wii, anyone?) for the coming years.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Nintendo Exclusive

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Rayman... etc. 2
 
The first Rayman Raving Rabbids did undeniably the best on the Wii, even though it appeared on other systems. Thus, it’s looking like Ubisoft is set to release the game’s sequel to Nintendo systems (Wii and DS) exclusively. This may end up being what is now called “timed exclusivity” which is exactly what happened for the first Rabbids game, in which the game would be released for Nintendo systems first, and then later make its way to the other systems.
