Nintendo formally announces DS release schedule for 2007 [update 1]


Update: This schedule is only good up until Q2 for this year. Sorry for the mistake.

The folks over at Nintendo HQ have sent out a press release, letting us know that in the coming Spring and Summer months, which usually mean gamers are left alone and without new games to enjoy, that such fears should never creep into our minds. See, Nintendo reminded us that plenty of potentially great games are releasing in the coming months and, if we've wrapped up everything currently available, we should look forward to the future for that fix of sweet, sweet gaming bliss.

Check out the entire list embedded past the post break.

Here's the goods:
  • April 22 - Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl - Nintendo
  • May - Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - Buena Vista
  • May - Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu - Atari
  • May - Pony Friends - Eidos
  • May - Diner Dash - Eidos
  • May - Touch the Dead - Eidos
  • June 4 - Nintendo DS browser - Nintendo
  • June 4 - Planet Puzzle League - Nintendo
  • June 11 - Touchmaster DS - Midway
  • June - Zendoku - Eidos
  • Spring - Naruto Ninja Council 3 - Tomy
  • Spring - Time Ace - Konami
  • Spring - Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom - Konami
  • Q2 - Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon - Natsume
  • Summer - Shrek the Third - Activision
  • Summer - Transformers: Autobots - Activision
  • Summer - Transformers: Decepticons - Activision

!!! June 4 - Nintendo DS browser - Nintendo !!!

This is the first semi-official date I've seen for a US release. I've been hemming and hawing about importing the Euro-release for months. Now that there's light at the end of my DS Lite's browserless tunnel, I can wait in peace!

Zelda was delayed to fall. Or so the "rumor" is: even Nintendo's announcement for the delay should be taken with a handful of salt.

I'm expecting PBR on the Wii to coincide with the release of Diamond and Pearl... that would make the most sense, from a seamless integration perspective, as the development of the 2 would be in tandem.

@scepia
I'm curious about this "rumor". Please tell more!

I am also a little surprised to see the first Wi-Fi game launching in June, especially since it wouldn't require much localization (as opposed to a game like Animal Crossing). An April or early May release to coincide with the DS games would make more sense.

I was also hoping to be playing Mario Strikers Charged soon...

I wonder if that "Planet Puzzle League" is the Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon/Pokemon Puzzle League/Puzzle League game that was announced a few weeks back. If it is, I can't believe it's being released so soon... but the sooner the better I guess.

As for Pokemon Battle Revolution coming out in June... It was actually MUCH sooner than I expected... which means SMASH BROS. BRAWL HAS A CHANCE OF COMING OUT THIS YEAR!!! That's all that matters...

It makes sense that they're releasing Battle Rev a couple months after Diamond/Pearl. I think they want to give people a little time to get familiar with the new pokemon and build up a team that they can import into PBR.

Wow, thank god i just got my DS this christmas because that's a pretty sucky list!

So i guess i'll play all the games i bought and didn't have time to play yet. Half of them are movie games that will probably suck. or UBER kiddie games. Thank god i still have alot of older games to play/buy!

Does anyone know if there are going to be any enhancements to the US version of the DS Browser? Or is it a straight copy of the Euro release?

ssuk: Because it costs considerably more to buy an import than it does to buy a domestic release. That, and I'm not in a hurry. The only reason I would import it would be if I gave up hope of it being release in the US.
