I do NOT like how Smash is entirely absent from that list. Smilie

Flynnie 21.05.2007#2

Never expected Smash to be on there anyway.

So the DS has got a shit load of shit games? Apart from Pheonix Wrights there is nothing else on that list that is even worth concidering....i mean Jake and Josh from THQ will probabaly sell its entire shipment to idiots that think the game will be as good as the programme...shame on them

jb 21.05.2007#3

Aye, tis a Summer list which is unfortunate - hopefully it'll hit around September/October time, but if that's the case they it's likely it'll be held off until nearer Xmas time.

Fairly good list regardless, DS seems to be on a decent high but the Wii really needs a fair chunk more to fill the summer gap.

Tiger woods '08 released in August. That's a joke. That's only two thirds of the year gone by

I'm expecting a Smashing XMAS, sounds the most likely to me. Hey at this rate I won't be surprised to see it slip into Q1 2008. I'm not really bothered though, I think they should take as much time as they need on it. Definitely not a game that should be rushed.

Also, very strangely Sonic Rush Adventure isn't on the list? It's put down for an August release, so if it's not on there, could it be Sonic Team actually want to take a little time on the game? Rather than it being a Sonic Rushed Adventure?

That's good, unless Nintendo just forgot to put it on there. Then that's bad.

I'll believe that date on Metroid Prime 3 when I'm holding it in my hands!

JoshSL 21.05.2007#7

By the way. Am I the only one that noticed Chibi-Robo is down for September 24th?

Screw Halo 3! CHIBI-ROBO!!!! Smilie Smilie Smilie Smilie

I thought it'd never see the light of day! I hope we get more on it soon, I can't get enough of the little guy. :3

Yep, those pining for the big, big Wii releases (MP3 and BW2 excepted) should wait for the Q4 schedule.

Autumn and Winter is when everyone's inside playing console games (other than you weird hardcore gamer people who are allegic to sunlight).

JoshSL 21.05.2007#9

I actually think I'm allergic to sunlight o.0;

No, not allergic, I just get a headache quite easily. I think I'm a blood hating vampire or something.

Keeping my eyes peeled for 'High School Musical.' Smilie

But seriously, no SSBB doesn't bode well.

RufDogRacing 21.05.2007#13

So, we've another good six months before anything decent hits for the Wii in Europe. That's fantastic, that really is. At which point, I'd imagine my Xbox 360 and copy of Halo 3 will have consumed me. Smilie

I don't know how you can't all be ecstatic about Chibi-Robo. Smilie

It'll be way better than MP3 anyway.

Why are you so obsessed with comparing stuff to Halo? Do you feel threatened?

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Eh? Since when have I compared much to Halo at all? I was only comparing Chibi Robo with it because the release dates are so incredibly close.

So I get Chibi-Robo, I no longer have need to be jealous of XBOX 360 owners.

EDIT: Other than that, I've only compared Metroid to Halo, & that's because the same thing happened again & again with the releases of the previous 2 Halo & Metroid Prime games. I even said I preferred Halo, so I don't see what your problem is. Smilie

Sorry I'm reading between too many posts again.

Wo33eR 21.05.2007#21

I side with Grumbler on this one, comparing Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol to Halo 3 is like comparing Tennis to Soup.

On one hand I would say the whole idea is a little silly and pointless as it is always likely to spark an argument. And to be honest saying it owns Halo 3 twice clearly makes you look like you are trying to come across as a Fanboy on purpose.

On the other hand, come on, every aspect that could declare a game to "own" another, Halo 3 will "own" Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol. Sales, Hype, (Probably)Overall review opinion, Players, Discussions etc etc etc.

So yeah, don't do it. It is not needed.

It's nice how everyone's so different. The game from this list I'm personally looking forward to IMMENSELY, is Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber.

Then it's Luninous Arc! I'm still unsure about Metroid Prime 3 - if it's more like the original Metroid Prime I'll be very interested, but if it's like the second, I'll pass.

It's not really worth picking up a Wii until at least the end of the year. But that's only because there's nothing that interests me in the Wii's current lineup. Smilie

L 21.05.2007#23

everything seems to be lookoing good, can't wait for metriod prime 3

JoshSL 21.05.2007#24

When I say Chibi-Robo pwns Halo, I mean as if to say I enjoy Chibi-Robo immensly, & I'm sure the DS version will be brilliant enough for me to not care about whether I have Halo or not.

They're not comparable as games. As I've said already, they're released within a day or two of each other, & that's how I can compare them, it's a simple case of "what would I rather buy?" & though you may think it's weird, I'd genuinly rather buy Chibi Robo if I owned a 360 & a DS. & that's that.

Halo 3 WILL pwn Chibi Robo in terms of sales & popularity (perhaps not in Japan) but in terms of how good the game is (reviews) I wouldn't toss Chibi-Robo aside just yet.

& I think we've already decided that I'm not a fanboy anyway. Smilie
