    UPCOMING POKÉMON BATTLE REVOLUTION NAMED AS FIRST WI-FI GAME FOR WII

    Nintendo Reveals Strong Second-Quarter Lineup for Wii, Nintendo DS

    REDMOND, Wash., March 7, 2007 – Wii™ owners of all ages have discovered the fun of playing with a group of friends in the same room. Now for the first time players can compete with one another near and far with Pokémon® Battle Revolution, a game of remarkable firsts:

    * the first Wii game to include Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection play
    * the first Pokémon game for Wii
    * the first game to link Wii and the hand-held Nintendo DS™
    * and the first Wii game that can be controlled using Nintendo DS

    When Wii and Nintendo DS are linked, players can use their Nintendo DS units as controllers or import characters from the upcoming Nintendo DS games Pokémon® Diamond Version or Pokémon® Pearl Version. Pokémon Battle Revolution launches on June 25 exclusively for Wii and brings a dramatic new chapter to the Pokémon franchise, which has sold more than 155 million units worldwide. Pokémon Battle Revolution also serves as one of the standouts in Nintendo's second-quarter launch lineup, which the company revealed today in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

    Pokémon Battle Revolution will be joined by Super Paper Mario™, the first Mario™ game for Wii; Mario Party® 8, a multiplayer party game; and Big Brain Academy™, a brain-training game that builds on the phenomenal success of the Nintendo DS brain games. These will add to the ever-growing library of Wii games, which will total more than 50 by the end of June. Nintendo DS fans will see the arrival of Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version, two surefire smash-hits.

    "With strong third-party support, Wii and Nintendo DS have games on the way for both casual and veteran gamers," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "Our new ways to play have attracted millions of players around the world. This lineup demonstrates our commitment to leading the industry with the future of video gaming."

    Third-party publishers also have stepped up their support of both Wii and Nintendo DS, recognizing these systems as the hottest things going in the video game industry. The list of games for April, May and June includes the following:

    I just bolded what I'm getting. I guess Planet Puzzle League is Dr. Mario and Tetris Attack online for DS since they released those on GBA a while back but, I'm not really sure.

    Spider-Man 3 might be good. Who knows. The Spider-Man games have been pretty good lately.

    Looks like an excellent 2nd quarter for Nintendo!

    I got my eyes on the ones highlighted as well.

    And I'm also looking forward to Mario Party 8.

        No......I was just looking at the bolded games on the list.....

        >weep<

        Anyway, the new Pokemon titles are coming a lot sooner than I thought! Can't wait for them to come out. So be afraid, Dessie. <evil grin>

          It's kind of decent for a second quarter but still slim pickings. Where is Mario, Smash Bros, Metroid, Zelda PH, ect? Going to release all that during the Holiday rush, Nintendo?

              I'm guessing they're gonna either delay all those games or stagger them for the holiday season like they've been staggering games since launch for the Wii.

                I didn't even realize that SSBB, Mario and MP3 weren't on the list, and those are games I'm dying to get, too.

                At least we're getting the Pokemon games! But still.....

                  I don't CARE about Pokemon or Mario Party. The only game on that list I want is Super Paper Mario.

                        Not bad. It could be better. Here's hoping for more 1st and 3rd party announcements for the rest of summer.

                        At least I've finally got confirmation for Mario Party 8. Everyone's been friggin' deceiving me.

                        We'd best get some new channels and nice VC additions during this period, too. And maybe Sonic CD whilst we're at it.

                          You don't like Pokemon, Mora? But why?? I love it! It's been a favorite of mine since the first games came out. {:3

                          Anyways, ditto on the Super Paper Mario. We'll agree on that, at least.

                            They finally dated the DS browser for US? I might get it. Not sure though.
                            I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty!

                              if it's as clunky as the PSP's, I'll pass.
