Cubed3 is reporting that Nintendo has updated their release schedule for 2007 in Europe. The release schedule includes release dates for Excite Truck, Children of Mana, etc. The big titles mentioned were Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. All three of these games are said to be released in 2007 for Europe. This means that the titles should be released in all territories before the end of the year. Here’s an excerpt from Cubed3:

Nintendo then goes on to talk about some of the other highlights we will be expecting in 2007, such as highly anticipated Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, plus Super Smash Bros. Brawl (that includes new fighters like Wario and Solid Snake). Elsewhere, Big Brain Academy, Battalion Wars II and Mario Strikers Charged are mentioned for Wii, whilst The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is not forgotten for the Nintendo DS.

I’ll keep my eye on this, because things can change really fast especially for big titles like these. Nintendo won’t release the Big Three around the same time, so I’m guessing at least one will be delayed. But we’ll see what Nintendo has in store for us in ‘07.

Original Press Release: Nintendo of Europe

The internet has been saturated with some tasty rumors surrounding Wii and its games. Here is a list of said rumors in no particular order:

• Super Mario Galaxy at Launch? – Infendo
• LuWiigi’s Mansion and Virtual Console Bundles? – Cubed3
• Super Mario Strikers Wii? – IGN Wii

These are definitely interesting to say the least. On the one hand, I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo did launch with Mario Galaxy even though not very many levels were shown at E3. The thing that gets me is Shiggy has supposedly been working on Mario 128 for quite some time, so one would think it would be further along than previously revealed.

On the other hand, it almost seems like a bad idea since Ninty already has mega-hits like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Twilight Princess at launch.

Hopefully the GC in Germany will shed some light on this info. If Nintendo makes another Luigi’s Mansion AND Strikers, I would be extremely happy.

Stay Tuned.
