Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Returns and more dated photo

Nintendo has an awesome line-up of games to keep us busy from now until the Holiday season. These next three months also sees the return of three classic Nintendo franchises.

On August 31, we return to the Metroid universe with the highly anticipated Metroid: Other M. Then on October 17, Kirby's Epic Yarn will be released much to Jim Sterling's delight. Then it's back to the jungle with Donkey Kong Country Returns on November 21.

Here's what else we can expect for the Wii:

  • Samurai Warriors 3 (Wii) -- Sept 27
  • Wii Party (Wii) -- Oct 3
  • PokéPark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure (Wii) -- Nov 1
  • FlingSmash (Wii) -- Nov 7
  • New Carnival Games (Wii) - - Sept 21
  • NBA JAM (Wii) -- Oct 5
  • Just Dance 2 (Wii) -- Oct 12
  • GoldenEye 007 (Wii) -- Nov 2010
  • Sonic Colors (Wii) -- Nov 16
  • Disney Epic Mickey (Wii) -- Holiday season

The DS, WiiWare and DSiWare is listed below, but I'm going to point out that Nintendo may have accidentally let slip the name of Gaijin Games's next game. It's BIT.TRIP.FATE.

  • Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS) -- Sept 12
  • Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (DS) -- Oct 4
  • Art Academy (DS) -- Oct 25
  • Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! (DS) -- Nov 14
  • Super Scribblenauts -- Oct 2010
  • Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (DS) -- Oct 5
  • Rock Band 3 -- Oct 29
  • And Yet It Moves (WiiWare) -- Aug 23
  • BIT.TRIP.FATE (WiiWare) -- Fall
  • Super Meat Boy (WiiWare) -- Holiday
  • Need For Speed Nitro-X (DSiWare) -- Sept 20
  • Shantae (DSiWare) -- Holiday

Will this finally be the first time hardcore gamers can shut up about not having any games to play on the Wii?

Doubt it, since it's not in "HD".

Well the games are there. So if these so called "hardcore" gamers don't buy them, then its they're own fault. Too bad for them!

Bit.Trip.Fate YEAH!!!!!!!

Good first party lineup, guess they stopped waiting for 3rd parties. Next year we'll have Xenoblade, The Last Story and DQX among others (hopefully) :D

I never play my wii anymore. BUT, epic mickey and donkey kong (maybe even metroid other M) looks like it deserves my cash. Here is hoping. Kirby also looks neat, i like new ideas and the yarn thing is pretty fresh.

so, there's a half dozen games in there that i'm looking forward to playing. combine that with the games i still haven't purchased from earlier this year, and it looks like i'll be sitting in front of the tv for quite a while this fall/winter.

meatwad, you sir, are a cliche.

So...no Golden Sun DS? Why do I remember it being announced for this holiday season? Am I going crazy, or something?

Geez, Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Sonic Colors both come out on November 16th. Look's like that will be a good day for me.

(Now that I said that, I just know I'm going to get some huge ass homework assignment on that day)

I wish Donkey Kong was a DS or 3DS game. I'd rather play my DS than my low def Wii.

So these are US dates; I hope Nintendo have learned not to drag their heels with Europe releases (i'm looking at you, Smash Bros Brawl).

WHERE THE FUCK IS GOLDEN SUN AND XENOBLADE??????!!!!!!!

Even without those two do want games, I see at least five others I'm going to be getting between the Wii and DS. 2010 is just an outstanding year for software on Nintendo consoles.

Unfortunately while Donkey Kong Country will be out this year in the UK, Kirby's Epic Yarn has been inexplicably and pointlessly postponed until next year. Nintendo Europe Fail, as usual.
