Nintendo dates key titles for Japan

PALGN News | Eastern dates released for Mario Tennis, Star Fox 2 and others.
Nintendo Japan have published release dates for some of it's key titles in the run-up to Christmas. Top of most gamers lists will be the Camelot-developed Mario Tennis, a direct follow on from the quite ace N64 game of the same title. Speaking to Nintendo Dream magazine recently, Nintendo spokesperson Mitsuaki Hagishima revealed that the title will be released at some stage in October.

That, Hagishima-san informs us, will be joined in the same month by Kururin Squash!, which presumably will be based on the excellent Kururin stick-based fairground-style puzzle games, one of which was a part of the original GBA line-up in the West if we remember correctly. November will see the release of Mario Party 6, which looks like being a unique one compared to the previous five - apparently there's absolutely no controllers needed. Are Nintendo heading into EyeToy territory?

Finally, December will see a trio of promising titles released in Japanese stores: Star Fox 2, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, the sequel to the frankly awesome Fire Emblem that was released to us behind-the-times Westerners last Friday. Hagishima-san assured the maagzine that there'd be more games added to that list also. As far as PAL regions go then, we can probably safely say that we'll be getting most of these at some stage in the first half of 2005, unless of course you wish to import - Fire Emblem aside, we can't imagine any of the above particularly stretching your Kanji skills.
