Nintendo of Europe 2007 preview
Posted by: Aaron Lockard on January 04, 2007 2:58:56 PM
If you thought 2006 was a stunner with the arrival of the Nintendo DS Lite, Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and many more greats, 2007 looks set to top all that - even in the first few months.
Whether you're a long-time Nintendo gamer or received your first system for Christmas, there's something for everyone in the year ahead.
And you don't have to wait long to get your hands on new games for your Wii or Nintendo DS, because the new releases are only days away
January
WarioWare: Smooth Moves (Wii, January 12) - What's wacky and will have you twisting, turning, waving and even hula-hooping with your Wii Remote? Wario's back with more than 200 crazy microgames made specifically for Wii, for up to 12 players to enjoy.
Children of Mana (Nintendo DS, January 12) - Role-playing game masters Square-Enix return to their roots in the latest instalment of the classic Mana series of action-RPGs. Go it alone or join with up to three friends wirelessly.
Star Fox Command (Nintendo DS, January 26) - The Star Fox series blasts onto Nintendo DS! Part action shooter, part turn-based strategy game, Star Fox Command puts an armada of ships under your touch screen control.
Actionloop (Nintendo DS, January 26) - Puzzle games don't come any faster and more furious than this! Use the stylus to flick the magnetic marbles into like-coloured groups, testing your brainpower and reactions in equal measure.
February
Magical Starsign (Nintendo DS, February 9) - An out-of-this world, astrological adventure! Journey across the galaxy to find missing members of a magic academy and their teacher, using spells that grow more powerful when stars are in alignment.
Excite Truck (Wii, February 16) - Grip the Wii Remote like a steering wheel and boost, swerve and jump your way across wild terrain that morphs beneath your wheels. As the name implies, Excite Truck is a wild ride.
Mario Slam Basketball (Nintendo DS, February 16) - With gorgeous graphics and intense, comical action, Mario's hoop-shooting debut is set to be a scorcher.
Kororinpa (Wii, February 23) - In this action/puzzle game, you'll need a steady hand and a cool head to roll the ball through the 3D maze to the goal by tilting the Wii Remote.
Wing Island (Wii, February 23) - Take to the skies and engage in a range of diverse missions, from fire-fighting to wildlife photography, controlling your plane's flight with simple movements of the Wii Remote.
March
Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Nintendo DS, March 9) - Guide a team of Mini Mario toys through obstacle filled levels or even make your own levels and upload them to the world with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Pokemon Ranger (Nintendo DS, March 30) - Round up Pokemon with swift swipes of your stylus in this all-new action-RPG in which you take the role of a Ranger, preserving nature and protecting Pokemon.
Quarter 1
The following games are currently planned for release by the end of March 2007:
Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii) - The hit Nintendo DS surgical simulator makes its Wii debut, with hands-on controls using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii) - Made exclusively for Wii, Sonic's new outing is a super-fast action game that unleashes the power of the Wii Remote.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Nintendo DS) - Play as two characters at once, skilled in combat and magic, in this brand new action-adventure for DS.
Also coming in 2007
There's lots more to look forward to this year including the Wii debuts of Mario and Metroid in Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, plus the eagerly awaited Super Smash Bros. Brawl featuring new fighters like Wario and Solid Snake. Also watch out for the arrival of Big Brain Academy for Wii, Battalion Wars II and Mario Strikers Charged bringing strategy and soccer action to Wii, and seafaring adventure The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass coming to Nintendo DS.
