They have Mario Tennis for GC/GBA slated for a feb 05 release

Can I get a big FUCK YOU from Nintendo with this one?

 

[human5892]

I bet/hope Geist will slip.

(Mario Tennis for Feb. 5th) - Can I get a big FUCK YOU from Nintendo with this one?

Amen.

 

[JasoNsider]

Can I get a big FUCK YOU from Nintendo with this one?

Can I get a "relax, you're going to be broke by december anyway" on this one?

 

[ge-man]

What the hell is taking so long with the Tennis and Golf games. I hope that means Camelot has been working on something really big at the same time.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Can I get a "relax, you're going to be broke by december anyway" on this one?

Ha!

 

[jarrod]

FF1+2 this year is a nice swift change. I've got a feeling NOA scooped this one up last second as E3 was starting, when they discovered Square Enix USA was only planning on releasing Kingdom Hearts here for whatever dumb reason.

Any word on which DS games will be launching with it? My guess would be Mario 64x4 and Wario Ware DS, with Animal Crossing in December and Metroid Prime Hunters and Mario Kart early next year.

 

[human5892]

Any word on which DS games will be launching with it?

Hey, yeah!

When is the mainstream DS hype going to start, anyway?

 

[JasoNsider]

Yeah, part of me hopes that Animal Crossing doesn't release until next year. Purchasing all these fall/winter releases on GameCube along with a DS and Animal Crossing will put me in the poor house.

.....or the street corner....

 

[king zell]

I will be broke anyway..

 

[CrisKre]

It doesn't mention any specific games on the Ds front. They did tell us at E3 they where only launching it if they tought they had a REALLY impressibe list of games lined up for launch (which included 3rd party titles, especially EA games), so my guess is many big names will show up from Nov till the end of the year. Exactly which is anyones guess.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Can I get a big FUCK YOU from Nintendo with this one?

Welcome to E3.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Actually, Squeenix isn't publishing KH CoM here. Disney Interactive is.

 

[Mashing]

The fuck.. why would they be wary of publshing that one? It should sell ok (granted, if it didn't havet he card aspect it'd probably do better, but that's a design decision and one they have to live with)

Wasn't this actually announced at E3? I swear it was. I'd check my news archives, but well, they're gone. I thought Nintendo announced it would be publishing the game and that it was set for fourth quarter. Maybe I'm just confused.

I'd really like to have DK: King of Swing sooner rather than later...

 

[Memles]

I really hope they don't release Mario Tennis GCN and GBA at the same time, or if they do they offer a package dea to keep it inexpensive, because I don't exactly want to have to buy both at the same time, but I will anyways.

The Nintendo/Square connection on FF1+2 was made clear with the Nintendo E3 product guide, yes, but I didn't see a release date in it. EB was going with a September release until now.

 

[jarrod]

Nintendo's E3 site had said "tba 2005" for FF1+2 I thought, but now it's only "announced". Also didn't know Disney was publishing Chain of Memories on GBA... seems Square Enix USA isn't publishing GBA content at all, despite Enix USA's previous intention to begin GBA publishing before the merger. I wonder if they'll give DS or PSP a shot for publishing or look to Nintendo/Sony to release their products there as well?

 

[Spiritreaver]

My god so many games to get this year. Ah well, I'm definitely getting all of those GBA games, especially FF1+2, I've never actually played them. Oh and yay for Kirby finally coming over here.

 

[NWO]

Can I get a big FUCK YOU from Nintendo with this one?

Why? Would anybody be actually playing this game with all the other releases this December? At least it will do something saleswise in Feb. And they should also push back Geist to that time frame as well.

[human5892]

Nintendo's first-party GC 2005 lineup already isn't half bad even from this vantagepoint (even more assuming Geist is pushed back and polished up).

Also, is there anyone else who thinks that for sales and quality reasons, the new Starfox could afford an '05 slip as well?

Japan or US?
I'm guessing the US.

if so...YEAH!

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

-Yoot Saito's Odama (Vivarium) 2005

Did you add the name in, or is some official list actually calling it that?

 

[Chrono]

and Zelda: Magical Hood (name change?) for feb 14th 2005

I almost had a heart attack out of excitement after reading this. Then I remembered minish cap.

 

[jarrod]

Did you add the name in, or is some official list actually calling it that?

That's the Japanese title actually, NOA's only referred to it as Odama. Hopefully Yoot sneaks his name in there before release though.

 

[ruffles]

I thought DKC2 was a summer release.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Minish was shit. I've heard a few people pronouncing it like "mine".

Just a rubbish name.

The Magical Hood is hardly great, but better.

 

[Spiritreaver]

The last time I cared about a game's title was... wait I never have.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

becomes

The Legend of Zelda: Magical Hood ?

Why change it ?!??@! ~ bah

 

[cvxfreak]

The last time I cared about a game's title was... wait I never have.

 

[Wario64]

SCREW THAT, I'M NOT BUYING THE NEW ZELDA GAME!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Minish was shit. I've heard a few people pronouncing it like "mine".

Just a rubbish name.

People still pronounce "Ocarina" strangely. Doesn't make the title any worse. I thought Minish Cap sounded good.

 

[drohne]

bleh. i'd rather have mother 1+2.

new kirby looks good, though.

 

[explodet]

Paper Mario 2 is for Oct 11th

Least we're only waiting just over 2 months for this game.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Fucking old thread, I wondered how I'd posted and not remembered it.

 

[Kobun Heat]

HEY LET'S BUMP AN OLD THREAD

By the way, I should have FF1+2 GBA soonish. Wonder what it'll be like.

 

[Alcibiades]

can someone lock this thread since those dates are different/unconfirmed at this point, like Mario Party 6 might not even be out this year...

 

[Wario64]

Why is Kirby and DKC2 coming out so late? The damn games are arleady in English and out in Europe
