Nintendo Europe have updated their Q3 release schedules with new Wii/DS dates including Last Window (Hotel Dusk 2), Dragon Quest IX and Metroid: Other M.
There are several gems certainly worth picking up in the coming months, including Team Ninja's unique collaboration with Nintendo in Samus's latest adventure. The famed bounty hunter touches down and explores European territory in Metroid: Other M, due out 3rd September. Also out on Wii shortly is Nintendo's updated Tetris package, cramming in more puzzle block love than ever before, and Konami's annual return to the football pitch in Pro Evo 2011.
The DS has a little more excitement with Square Enix's Dragon Quest IX pleasuring RPG fans next week, in stores from 23rd July, boasting a lengthy, gripping story and a wealth of customisation and multiplayer options. Those who enjoy their fare share of detective stories and adventure games, prepare to be excited - very excited. The sequel to Cing's Hotel Dusk is escaping outside Japan, as protagonist Kyle Hyde uncovers the secrets of Cape West in Last Window: The Secret of Cape West out in September.
