Square-Enix has slapped a U.S. release date of April 22nd on The World Ends With You.
If you're not already familiar with this Jet Set Radio-esque slice of ARPG goodness, you've got catching up to do! Based on Shibuya youth culture, the game sees protagonist Neku combating Noise and accomplishing various missions to strict time limits, all in the name of not ceasing to exist. It's been put together by the folks behind the Kingdom Hearts games, so comes with a respectable pedigree.

Well, while April 22 is fairly soon, after March 9th, I doubt I will leave my Wii for anything.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what will be released on March 9th for the Wii? It's my birthday, so I would want to know. :)

Like mauroh said, Super Smash Bros Brawl.
I think I'll be playing It's A Wonderful World/The World Ends With You though - I recently finished Kingdom Hearts (yeah yeah, I'm slow), and anything coming from the team that did that game gets priority for me. :)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Though at the moment I don't actually own a wii myself, by the time it's out I WILL!

Man, good to know a release date; I figured April after Ninja Gaiden is released, perfect!

Dang, never came across this one yet. Game has a lot of appeal.
And, I never played Jet Set Radio, but I have a Dreamcast and will be keeping an eye out for a used copy.

I wonder how butchered it will be. I've played and completed the Japanese version, can't wait to see what they did to the music. Should be good for a laugh.
