Well a nice list of announced games I see for Nintendo. It is VERY nice to see the Nintendo catch up already in progress... they stormed America and Japan over christmas and it looks like it would be Easter for us lot:

GBA SP
Online for Gamecube
Phantasy Star Online V1 and V2
Phantasy Star collection (GBA)
Resident Evil 0
Metroid Prime
The legend of Zelda: A Link to the past

Are the stuff I'll try and get (steal/win). March looks promising and it seems Nintendo already have plans for this upcoming christmas... Final Fantasy, Mario Kart and Pikmin will be headlineing a storming christmas this year.

But it is the release date of Zelda I smile and shake my head at. Wario's World appears in the vain of Pikmin and will try and be the summer game whilst Zelda is released in Spring... May 3rd in fact :)

Awww Nintendo you sentimental fools... just like that special date in America (november the something or other). But pish what good in the past has ever come on May 3rd?

Dringo.

Well, that's pretty good.

I can't wait, and there were rumours of it arriving in May, but I suppose it's been out for a couple of months in the US already, so it wouldn't take that long.

If it does, AJ will be most dis-pleased. :-)

SMB2 should be out at mid-Feb, I think.

Oh yes, Metroid Prime shall probably still be lodged in my machine.

:-D

Hopefully a PAL version of Monkey Ball 2 will have arrived by then also.

Well you'll have more than enough to keep you entertained if you decide against it.

I reckon you'll wait until a mate's got it, then you'll see what you've been missing and rush down the shops to get one, only to be informed that they've all sold out. Then YOU'LL be weeping uncontrollably!

Well, you never know - I may get it, I just don't know yet.

Perhaps. Perhaps Nintendo are doing it differently to see how many they'd sell on the first day. All I know is I'm pre-ordering that mutha! And we get the Monday off for Mayday! Excellent!

Then again, you don't care because you won't be buying it.

But if games companies thought this then games would always be released on Saturdays.

I disagree - more kids at school will be able to buy it if it's released on a Saturday.
