Following in the footsteps of Nintend of Europe, the company’s American cohorts have revealed their Nintendo DS and Wii Q1 2009 line-ups today. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t much different than the European list we showed youearlier this week.
The Wii line-up is as expected, with games like Sega’sMadworld(March) and Ubisoft’sTenchu: Shadow Assassins(February) making the Q1 cut. What is curious is that Nintendo’s first-party Wii releases for Q1 are only the GameCube “remakes,”New Play Control! Mario Power TennisandNew Play Control! Pikmin.
On the handheld side of the things, Nintendo fills their quarterly Pokémans-quota withPokémon Platinumdropping on February 16. Ubisoft will be releasing three more games in the Imagine series, as well asPetz Horseshoe Ranchwhich will finally bring the much-needed “horseshoe ranch” environment toPetzfranchise.
The full lists broken down by console and publisher after the jump. What do you see that has you excited? Is there anything missing that you thought you’d see? I’m wondering just where in the hellFatal Frame 4is, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
