Will Nintendo release any new games for the DS or Wii in the U.S in June?
I think they will. But the company isn't saying.
I recently wrote about how Nintendo has no game release dates announced past the May 19's "Wii Fit." I wrote that in April.
Now it's May. And still... nothing.
It's not like they ever skip releasing games in a month: January had "Endless Ocean" and "Advance Wars," February had "Layton," March had "Smash Bros." April had "Mario Kart" and some "Pokemon"s. June? I don't know.
Over at Wired, Chris Kohler points out that Nintendo isn't even spilling the beans on which games will launch the Wii's downloadable games service next week.
I dropped a line to Nintendo PR on Friday to ask if Nintendo was going to release any games in June or July, and, if so, how they would be announced. As far as I know there are no Nintendo press events before E3 in mid-July. The answer I got was that there's nothing new to announce about the company's first-party line-up.
Very Apple like, indeed. Maybe it's the right strategy, given events like yesterday's delay of the much-covered assumedly-2008-slated "Prototype" until 2009.
Any guesses as to what Nintendo will have for us in June on the DS or Wii?
