Nintendo Offers Release Schedule Hope For Europe

Springtime looking up.

Nintendo Europe has offered what is its best release slate for some time, with a flagging GameCube seeing some top-notch gaming options. The home offering is augmented by a strong line-up, as ever, for the Game Boy Advance and of course, the soon-to-be launched Nintendo DS.

The GameCube sees the very tentatively titled Donkey Konga 2: Hit Song Parade join Star Fox Assault and Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, all Namco-developed titles showing the still-strong support for the platform.

The GBA gets Yoshi’s Universal Gravitation, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Wario Ware: Twisted! (the second tilt game with YTT) and Mario Party Advance, about which little is really known at this time.

And although its host console has not seen a full launch line-up, European Nintendo fans will be able to snaffle up a copy of Yoshi Touch and Go for the Nintendo DS on May 6.

As soon as full launch details for the DS are available, you’ll be the first to know.

Nintendo seriously need some promotion.

I've been waiting for the European Jungle Beat. I happened to walk into a shop and saw it yesterday. God knows how long it's been out.

Even people "up" with games don't know when Nintendo's releasing anything, let alone buy it.

Absolutely agreed..

I was waiting for Animal Crossing for, what, about 10 years! It was just sitting on the shelf one day! WTF!?

And I truely can't believe the DS is due out in just a couple of weeks.

Advertising, please!

Well, we here at SPOnG are as "up" with games as it's possible to be, and we know when EVERYTHING is coming out. Just use the "Releases" link up there at the top of every page - and you'll know too.

Or search for the game you are interested in - Jungle Beat came out in Europe on Feb 4th - see here

Yeah, yeah, I know :p.

I'm surprised Nintendo sell anything with their current promotional levels.

Where are the DS ads?!
