Nintendo reveals full WiiWare/DSiWare holiday line-up for NA/EU

posted 19 Sep 2009 07:25 by Knuckles Sonic8

This week, Nintendo released big press releases listing the complete line-up of WiiWare and DSiWare releases from now up until the first quarter of 2010. Nintendo released PR's respective to the NA and EU regions and as such, some interesting details surfaced. Most of the entries on the line-up for North America are pretty general sticking to the quarters but Europe's press release is chockful of more useful information, listing expected months for each release. Not only do we have an idea of when certain games will be releasing, but a bunch of new titles have also been revealed in these press releases, further whetting our appetite! See below for the complete listings along with a few side-annotations. Bolds indicate newly-revealed titles that haven't been announced before this press release. Please note that the line-up is missing quite a few titles (My Zoo and Driift Mania for example) so don't follow it to the tee. It's really just an overview of what's expected in the coming months and boy is there ever a lot to look forward to!
