For the lazy, it includes includes...

Mario Tennis
Kururin Squash
Mario Party 6
Fire Emblem: Trail of Blue Flame
Star Fox 2
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

Towards the end it also says that more original titles may pop up before the end of the year.

 

[dark10x]

Damn, they are missing the best one...Metroid Prime 2.

 

[Eric-GCA]

Metroid isn't that big a seller in Japan, so they probably saw no need to rush a translation.

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

"While the company currently has no games slated for release in December, Hagishima noted that the games scheduled for release this winter, namely Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and Star Fox, may be released by the end of December. He also hinted that there might be other unannounced titles popping up before the year's end. "

 

[nubbe]

They sacrificed MP2's Japan release for Europe… so noble

 

[Dan]

I demand a US release of Kururin Squash!

 

[jarrod]

Holy crap!!! KURURIN SQUASH!!!!!!

 

[Mermandala]

Kururin Squash media now. NOW.

 

[otheranthony-ns]

Now that looks like a tastey list of games. Can't wait to get my thumbs around Mario Tennis especially.

 

[Deg]

Whats that?

 

[king zell]

I knew Jungle Beat would release this year

solid holidy for sure

by the way whats Kururin Squash ?

 

[Deg]

Sounds like a squash game.

Sounds like a Legend of Golfer type game. Maybe Nintendo want to get into realistic sports franchises?

 

[Kiriku]

Kururin Squash

There it is. Kururin Squash. :O

 

[human5892]

I wonder how Jungle Beat will do in Japan (or anywhere, for that matter). Judging from everyone's E3 raving about it, it deserves to do quite well. I can't wait to play it for myself.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I knew Jungle Beat would release this year

Well Nostradamus, considering that they announced that at E3...

 

[Tritroid]

Seriously what is Kururin Squash?

 

[Kiriku]

Seriously what is Kururin Squash?

Well, at least we know it's a new Kururin game. That'll keep me going for a while!

 

[StrikerObi]

Hm, depending on how early in 2005 DK Jungle Beat comes out in the US, I might have to import the Japanese version.

 

[brandonnn]

start there and picture it in 3d, is what we're assuming.

It's hell of excting news.

 

[king zell]

Well Nostradamus, considering that they announced that at E3...

well some guys at the other thread were saying it was announced for early 2005 @ E3

 

[psycho_snake]

Apart from Mario ,I can't see that as being a good lineup. It might be a good lineup for but if they have anything like that in the USA then Nintendo are gonna stay in third place.

 

[Deg]

Look at it from a sales point of view. They will sell alot of software in Japan.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Oh it's the stick game!

A 4-player (3D?) GC variant could be *very* interesting.

 

[Link316]

Apart from Mario ,I can't see that as being a good lineup.

me neither, Mario Tennis, Kururin Squash, Mario Party 6 are the only titles that are actually confirmed

 

[Kobun Heat]

Um... we've known the US holiday lineup since E3, it's nearly completely different and is very focused on US gamers' tastes. Good try though.

 

[wazoo]

This is a japanese lineup.

Having Halo2 on the Nintendo japanese lineup would be a very bad move.

 

[Jacobi]

Where's new media

 

[NWO]

Wow your posts are even worse than your threads.

 

[cvxfreak]

This lineup sounds very sufficient for the Japanese holiday. Just throw in Naruto 3 and BioHazard 4 and Nintendo's good to go.

 

[SantaC]

This worries me. So Biohazard 4 is not in for the holidays in Japan? That means the delay in the US is pretty much certain, because the RE games are usually out about 1 month before US.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

It clearly is a first-party release list.

 

[Meier]

This is... Nintendo's schedule.

This is... Nintendo's schedule.

Thanks. I missed that.

Now I'm even more confused.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Now I'm even more confused.

The link just further boggled my fragile mind.

 

[ToyMachine228]

That link is Kururin Squash's predecessor on the Game Boy Advance. It was only released in Japan.

 

[jarrod]

It clearly is a first-party release list.

Hey Ninja, know any good sites that have release lists for upcoming JP 3rd party GC/GBA games?

 

[Dan]

Actually, that link is to Kurukuru Kururin, which was released in Japan and Europe. Then there was the sequel, Kururin Paradise, which was only released in Japan. Now comes Kururin Squash.

 

[MASB]

I demand a US release of Kururin Squash!

I second the motion! Honestly, this was the best videogame news I've heard all day. Kururin is great.

 

[sc0la]

Mario Golf

Kururin Squash

Were is Zelda racquetball?

 

[Deleted member 284]

Now all we need is a Stafi GC game so that NOA can pretend it doesn't exist.


EFF YOU NOA!

Mario Golf

Kururin Squash

Holy Crap! You are right. This has to be a multiplayer racquetball type game with the rotating stick play mechanics. Why was I only thinking of the vegetable?
