Punchout Wii gets release date, other titles announced also.

Just found this story on Gamespot today. Apparently, Nintendo has just updated their release schedule today of their upcoming titles from both first and third party developers. One of the games on the schedule was the next installment of the popular boxing game “Mike Tyson’s Punch-out”, simply called “Punchout”. The release date for this sequel will be May 18th of this year.

Along with this game, there were a few other titles announced, some from the New Play Control series(Gamecube games with added Wii control) that is coming out. Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin are set to release on March 9th, with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat set to release on May 4th. The next installment of the Excitebite and Excite Truck series, entitled “Excitebots: Trick Racing”( Wii Wheel compatibility), has just been announced, but no fficial release date has been given as of yet. The Conduit and Let’s Tap will be releasing in June.

Nintendo also said that it would be bringing The Legendary Starfy to the US for the first time on June 8, which will be released on the DS(originally released in Japan for the GBA in 2002).

I am personally excited for The Conduit and Punch-out myself, most of these others titles i mentioned sound like more shovelware crap, but i guess that we will have to wait and see what happens to those games.

The full set of game releases, along with the original article, can be found here.

DSi release date announced!

I have just been surfing through the interwebs of the internet today, and I found out some interesting news about the new SKU of the DS, the DSI.

Just to get this out of the way, I found out this news from platformnation.com, which is a great community. Anyways, on to the news.

Nintendo has announced today that this new handheld will ship out to stores on April 5th, 2009. The MSRP for it will be $169.99, and will have a few different features that set it apart form the DS lite, and also the original DS. It will have two cameras, one on the inside, and one on the outside. There is an SD card slot that will be used for gamesaves, as well as photos. A wireless indicator will let you know when you have an active wi-fi connection. The layout will be similar to the Wii’s channel style, and it will feature a downloadable game service as well. There are many more features for it, but I will not say them all, because I want you to be at least a little bit surprised when it comes out.

I already have a DS, so my chances of getting it are not likely. If these new features interest you, however, then by all means pick it up, the choice is up to you.
